Eminem Raps on Rock The Bells Radio show.
Today is the 30th anniversary of legendary LL Cool J’s fourth studio album “Mama Said Knock You Out“, and to celebrate it, Eminem took over LL’s Rock The Bells Radio show. On the show, Eminem played and himself raps one of LL’s classic songs “Eat Em Up L Chill”.
“Marshall’s here. We are on Rock the Bells Radio and we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of ‘Mama Said Knock You Out’. One of the reasons why this album is so significant is because it’s LL Cool J’s fourth album and for me, it was his fourth classic in a row. One of my favorites on the album, I’ll start with “Eat Em Up L Chill”,” says Eminem.
At the turn of the century, Eminem spoke of not knowing how to respond to his meteoric rise to stardom. “When I first got in the game, I didn’t understand a lot of shit. If you were walking outside the venue outside the show and took some pictures, there’s always going to be someone you’re not going to get to. It was my first experience with it,” he explained. “I didn’t understand it. I think it was a combination of what I was going through at that time and experiencing fame for the first time.”
“Bring on the mo’s and ho’s
Don’t snooze or doze
‘Cause I’m rippin’ up shows
Hold your nose, dead bodies are around
I leave scratch marks under the tears of a clown” raps Eminem.
Eminem continues “His vocal tone on that and the way the beat. Shout out to Marley Marl, by the way, because the beat on this f**king song is crazy. And the way LL’s rhyming scheme complements this beat and vice versa is incredible.”
