Here's the transcript of the Eminem parts of the interview:

Tobamai: The interesting thing about the song (Throw It Up) though, is that after reading a ton of reviews about it, a lot of younger kids, especially teenagers - some of them had negative comments to say about your appearance & their (Em & Yela's) appearances as well. The mid-20s, mid-30s audience, like me for instance, absolutely loved it and the overwhelming majority of major sites - MTV, PopCrush - all said it was great. Why do you think there is a difference in opinion these days?

Gangsta Boo: It's so weird, you know, and I'm just now realizin' how TeamShady works. TeamShady is like a cult and they're used to what they're used to...they're really not underground...they're listening to Nicki Minaj, it's the Barbiez and... As long as Eminem is OK with it and he co-signs it & he respects me as an artist, to be honest I don't really care about what other people are saying...I have a history on my own, just as well as Eminem. I got a Team Boo just as well as TeamShady, but uh... it is what it is, everybody's gon' have their opinions on anything... I don't read (comments), I just communicate on Twitter with TeamShady and uh, for people that don't like it, I guess it's their issue.

And uh, one of my upsprings told me that a lot of people didn't like "Lighters," that Eminem did with Bruno Mars. Like, I didn't know, but he was like, 'Yo a lot of people didn't like this because they thought Eminem kinda went soft' or whatever... but that's one of my favorite songs so... You know ?? out to die-hard fans and want people to stay in their lanes, so to speak, but you gotta grow and you gotta try different stuff 'cause a lot of people where I'm from don't even play Eminem... So it was a good look for Eminem just as well as me."

I love Gangsta Boo, she just summed it all up
"TeamShady is like a cult and they're used to what they're used to...they're really not underground..." & "...but you gotta grow and you gotta try different stuff.."
