[There Will Be Blood]

I'm pretty much in agreement on how he worded Em's return with slaughterhouse.

King Tech: I produced that record. What happened was...I don't have much communication with Em these days, man, but at that time, I saw or talked to Eminem once, twice, sometimes three times a week. I really felt like that dude could've did somethin', and he had the world against him. If you remember, man, in 1997...Vanilla Ice [just stepped down from rapping] in like '93 or somethin'. To be a white rapper wasn't a good thing at that time. Being who we were, and realizing dude was talented, we didn't really care if dude was white, Chinese, Pakistani; it didn't matter. I was workin' on a beat for [This Or That], and I just wanted people to know that dude could bust. I just loved the way he rapped, man. He's one of my all-time favorites.

When he hooked up with Dr. Dre, I think one of the things Dre did for him that I don't think we coulda did was... we as Hip Hop fans wanted him to just keep bustin'. With Dre, Dre was like, "Dude, you can keep bustin'. But if you wanna make some money with me, you've gotta do 'Hi, my name is!'" To be real with you, I really don't know how comfortable Em was with that in the beginning. I don't know. I remember seein' him a lil' while later, and I don't think he was used to the fact that now he's gotta make big hit records. It happens to everybody; at some point Crooked got a make a big-ass record.

Em, when we did "Get You Mad," I loved it. He got on and he just started bustin'. I'm from an era where if the beat is bangin', just let him roll. Let him do what he does. I remember him callin' me, "Tech, you think I gotta change the hook? I might've been too crazy." I was like, "Kid, I love that shit!" Em was a beast. Honestly, I think Slaughterhouse being around him is what made [Recovery] good. [Relapse] wasn't that good to me. It was okay. Knowin' Em, knowing him in the '90s, I knew he wasn't just gonna shut it down. I think that once he heard Slaughterhouse and the passion that was comin' outta their microphones he was like, "I was this dude. What happened to me?" A lot of a sudden he makes another classic album. I'm really excited for Em and Crooked and Slaughterhouse right now. Thank God somebody is doin' it!

[One Mic]

That is some real talk.

I agree that Relapse was a huge dissapointment and a major letdown.

Thank fuck he dropped a modern classic like Recovery, that was my shit last summer.

I think that once he heard Slaughterhouse and the passion that was comin' outta their microphones he was like, "I was this dude. What happened to me?"

I'm really sure he thought that.

good read.

[Sam.]

fuck the relapse haters in this bitch

[KieranLewisEM]

Stopped reading when he said relapse wasnt good and acts like Recovery was the ultimate comeback to the world. GTFO.

[momentsgolden]

Wow, Eminem is so big every person tryna put them in their headline. I mean, how many dudes are on this Record yet Tech and Dx go on and on about Em.

But, The Anthem was dope on the Real. Being able to see- in fuckin 1999 that hip-hop was gonna be commercial was some real long term vision. Ddnt know him before today... But now he's a legend in my books.

[KingDavid]
