The only rappers influenced by Eminem are Hopsin and Earl, maybe Yelawolf
Cole and Kendrick did mention an Eminem influence but nop, lol, they're just trying to be polite...Kendrick has never mentioned eminem in a top 10 before signing to Aftermath, and the only time he talks about Eminem is when he's being questioned about him
Some rappers love doing that rippity rap on feature, but eminem didn't create that shyt lol
Bullshyt.
- Cole said he used to sleep with Em's lyrics posted on his walls and around his bed, said his first song was basically him trying to make himself into a Nas/Eminem hybrid.
It doesn't matter what it's on, people use the same talking points that they use against Eminem against Kendrick for a reason...Eminem is in his DNA, He said it, you can hear it, nikkas who hate both of them criticize them for some of same reasons.
#Facts.....#facts
You really wanna get into some fakkit shyt like "reading between the lines" or he was just being polite after somebody says some shyt just because you can point it up out of hatred? I mean I'm not above it but this situation doesn't call for it...unless it's a situation like this one where some industry clown is trying to put words in an artists mouth, if they say that they were heavily influence by Eminem...have a more technical rap style and make personal music I would just say take their fukking word for it you know?
and vince's last album > anything from eminem since 2002
And I wouldn't know, and don't care to know.
He's not that nice, we ain't even gotta take it up the rung to Eminem, not interested and as you can see I'm not the only one who DOESN'T give a fukk about Vince Staples
But again...be clear, BIG RESPECT to him for not letting that DJ put words in his mouth. I'm more impressed by that than I am any of his music.
