Kendrick Lamar Says Eminem "Definitely" Influenced His Style, Calls Him A "Genius" | Get The Latest Hip Hop News, Rap News & Hip Hop Album Sales | HipHop DX





While fans wait for Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city, the Compton emcee has had to field many questions about who will be on the album. In a recent interview with Mr. Peter Parker, another question on the subject came up. This time, Lamar was asked if Eminem would be on the disc and if he admired Eminem.

When asked if Em is "the greatest," Lamar shared that he felt no one could equal Slim.

"I don't think nobody's matching him now," he said after calling Em a "genius."

He went on to add that Shady influenced him greatly.

"Em definitely influenced a lot in my style."

However, that doesn't mean a track is in the works. Lamar shared that there is currently no song featuring Eminem but that he would want to collaborate.

"Not for sure, yet," he said about Eminem being featured on the album. "I definitely would want him on the album. It'd be crazy."

The outer limits
Though I'm not a em fan I can see the influence in k.dots rhyme patterns

:manny: Ab-soul is influenced by canibus and Joe Budden and I can see influences from them with solos' style too

Nothing to see here, everyone has different influences

what did he say about the others? i can't watch the video right now.

it would be a bit redundant to just say genius for all of them and Em is a genius as far as rhyme schemes & putting words together, whether you like his music or not it's just plain stupid to say he can't rhyme or flow

He's an interscope monkey now, what the fukk is he supposed to say :snoop:

just remember that the only rappers he'd mention as the GOATs before were 2Pac and Jay-Z, Jimmy Iovine is his father now
