Nope, it was two hours."They loved it. Eminem took the song back into the back of the studio and locked himself up for awhile. Alex and I were just sitting out in the studio waiting for him to come out with his verses. Two hours later, he said, ‘Okay, I’m ready.’ He brought us into the studio, and he had already laid down everything. He played us the verses, and I literally started bawling. There’s so much passion and honesty and vulnerability in his verses talking to Dr. Dre, and they were both standing there in the room, and I could see years and years of stuff — of sh– and great stuff, of their lives — just come pouring out into the song."
rofl 20 minutes.
Next it'll be 2 minutes
Whats so funny, Eminem "freestyles" he's good at making rhymes on the spot. He makes rhymes in seconds so why not 20 minutes? I mean, personally, the rhymes on the track are exactly "days work" are they?

I’m in shock every time I’m in the studio with Everlast [of
House of Pain] and I see how he does it. He constructs the
The Writing Process 145
rhyme in his head, on the spot, sits there and like 20 minutes,
half an hour later, he’s like, OK, I’m ready to go . . . [and he]
goes in the vocal booth with no paper and spits it.

I’ve had good ones that took a couple of days, and I’ve had
good ones that took five minutes. [Eminem and Dr. Dre] just
prefer you to make a hot song, no matter how long it takes—
if you make a hit record every six months, nobody’s gonna be
mad at that. If it takes you three months to write one “In Da
Club,” that’s fine—records like that stay around forever.

I think if you’re on a roll and you’re feeling the vibe, songs
sort of just write themselves. Definitely “Insane in the Brain”
came like that, “Rock Superstar,” “Dr Greenthumb”—a lot
of the songs. I think sometimes those faster ones turn out
to be the really good ones. With “Dr Greenthumb” I think I
wrote that song in like 40 minutes and recorded it in another
40 minutes, maybe an hour tops. That’s like an anthem for
us—that beat just took me somewhere really fast. I couldn’t
explain it—how fast I wrote it, how fast we laid it down
Royce Da 5'9"
I take my time—I don’t never feel it’s a rush. I can take two
hours and write a verse, [and then] somebody else can write
[a verse], not even write it down, memorize it off the top of
the head, and go spit it in 30 minutes, and if my verse is better,
then who’d you rather be? So I pride myself on quality
over quantity, even though I can knock out a lot of shit pretty
fast, but that’s just icing on the cake—that’s not something I
strive for. If I can get it done fast, then cool, but I just go for
the quality.
Go suck a dick
Eminem is not afraid.
