Eminem / Nicki Minaj

In her latest Stationhead stream, Nicki Minaj revealed that Eminem in in her top 3 rappers of all time and called him and herself the greatest lyricists alive.

“Eminem is in my Top 3. I have to be honest. Because, people who rap fast and you can clearly hear what they are saying and in addition to that it is a motherf–king punchline or double entendre that you now have to go back and listen again to understand both ways that he said it while saying it one way…The consistency  of knowing his fanbase, the consistency of making a hit record…” said Nicki Minaj.

Then she continued: “Eminem and I are the two of the greatest lyricists of all time that are alive, not that I’m putting myself on Eminem’s level because Eminem was in the generation before me and just like Lil Wayne, I would never, ever put myself in the same sentence as them when I know that I was sitting home listening to them, being inspired and creating my own sound.” You can watch the interview after the end of the article.

Few months ago, on the same platform, Nicki gave Eminem a shout out and invited him to perform at her Detroit show but it did not happen: “You know what I was thinking guys? One of the things I wanted to say before I play a couple of my favorite songs, you know who I thought about too? Eminem. I listen to him on ‘Majesty’ with Labrinth, last night and I was like ‘oh, what the f–k!’ Eminem gonna have to come out the house for Pink Friday 2 Tour, I ain’t even going home. I’m going to that.” – said Nicki Minaj.

She continued: “Every bar I spit on ‘Majesty’ was so confident but for Eminem to bring it back to the concept of the song being called Majesty and said, instead of calling himself the king, the n-gga said the ‘queen and her husband, one thing you never wanna be is our subject’ and then I come back on the song […] That s–t is so f–king hard.”
