Eminem Details How Jay-Z's "Renegade" Originally Featured Ro

[mecuryball]

In 2001, Jay-Z released “Renegade”
featuring Eminem off of The
Blueprint, serving as one of the
standout cuts from the album. But
what most listeners may not know
is that the record was originally a
collaboration between him and
Slaughterhouse member Royce Da
5’9”.

Em, who produced the cut, recorded
the track with Nickel Nine before
passing it off to Jay. “That record
was actually made... We were
starting to make that record. It was
a situation where Jay had called
me and I had another record that I
wanted to present to him, ” he told
MTV News’ Sway. “At the time, we
were recording on two-inch reels.
What happened was there was a
beat that I had an idea for me and
Jay to do a song together. But the
reel with the beat on it was in L.A.,
and I was in Detroit and Jay was on
a deadline.”

Instead of whipping up a new beat,
Em took out Royce ’s verse to make
room for Jay. “I kind of approached
Jay like, ‘Yo what about this record?
I already have this, it’s already
here.’ And he was working a
deadline. He was working on a real
short window of time to get it done,
so that was kind of how that record
came about, ” he continued. “I
actually sent him the track and he
put his verses on there and sent it
back and I mixed it. ”

I never thought this question was going to be asked, and spoken about, interesting.
