Jim Jonsin talks about Eminem

[dR3]

A producer on Eminem's upcoming "Recovery" album, Jim Jonsin, recently talked to MTV about how Eminem was open to new ideas after his "Recovery." "He was open to ideas," Jonsin told MTV of Recovery. "He was real respectful to my craft. He let me do what I do. He asked me ideas on some of the lyrics. We had ideas for lyric changes. Certain words may or may not work on radio. We talked about that. He had a setup outside of the room to do production, but I'd rather be in the room where he was at, and he was cool with that. And I knocked out a couple of joints in there while he was in there with me. He was pretty open and he let me do my thing. He did his thing. It was a pretty good experience."

Complex: Did you actually get in the studio with Em?

Jim Jonsin: We were in the studio in Detroit together for two or three days. He’s very creative. He’s got a different approach from most artists, because he’s a producer as well. It’s like having a producer, executive, A&R, artist in one, like a package. He kind of knows what he wants. He listens to everything; he’s very critical. He really listens to the stuff he’s doing. Most people will put their trust in the producer. He is the producer and he kind of works with you. I had a good experience working with him. He knows his shit, you know?

Complex: Can you talk about the records you did?

Jim Jonsin: We’re not at liberty to discuss that. They asked everybody to keep everything a surprise, and I agree with that formula. But I can tell you that I co-wrote a song with him and a guy named Steve McCuin. I don’t know what they’re gonna call it, Em was going through a few different titles. We did one particular song that I love. I only did a few other ideas for him. From there, I don’t know if he did vocals on them yet. We only did one song where he actually cut vocals to. We just had a demo idea. He took it and then turned it into an amazing song, and then we went out there and finished it with him.

Complex: When people think Jim Jonsin, they probably think of that bass-heavy club banger. Did you break out the 808s for Em?

Jim Jonsin: No way, you would never know I did it. You know how it goes in the music business, you get a hit record and every A&R, label, and artist are like, “I want one of those!” They sound alike. If you pay attention to some of my records, “Whatever You Like” and “Lollipop” and “Kiss me Through The Phone,” they all have a similarity. Then something like “Sweet Dreams,” which I did with Wayne Wilkins and Rico Love, has a completely different vibe to it. I did use a Moog bass in there, which is similar, but other than that the drums and all that are sonically different. With Em’s approach it’s more of live instruments and different drums—more form-fitted, something I would hear Eminem on, you know?
