That works as a response to the people who were complaining that this thread exists. We're giving Em's rhyming skills the recognition they deserve.
Where's that Em quote from?
LOL I linked it in my first sentence.
A couple more on the subject from the same interview:
"The average listener, I don't know if they actually see what it is or hear the patterns and syllable rhyming and stuff like that," Eminem explains. "I don't know if they really catch that. I think they just listen and appreciate it for the beat or what it's saying.
"But it's a certain way that I said [those things]. [A certain way] that I write, that Jay-Z writes, Nas ... they crafted rhymes to the very last detail," he continues. "I don't know, they make it look easy so the average listener may think it's easy. But the truth is that everybody would be doing that if it was so easy."
