AZ talks about Eminem

[TheGentlePlayer]

For anyone still wondering over a decade later what the man Eminem can be heard emulating on the title-track to his 1996 independent debut, Infinite, thinks of the inspiration he provided to the pre-Slim Shady superstar-to-be, that curiosity can finally be quelled.

“Oh wow, nah, I never peeped that, where that’s at?,” replied AZ when asked by HipHopDX on Tuesday (March 27th) if he has ever heard “Infinite.”

Eminem’s monotone and multisyllabic delivery over the Jazz-tinged track for “Infinite” drew its inspiration from AZ’s lyrical exercise “Rather Unique” from The Visualiza’s classic debut album, 1995’s Doe Or Die.

“I know I read something in Vibe where he said that AZ and Nas influenced him,” added Sosa. “And that was a good look. I appreciate that a whole lot.”

“Actually, I’m trying to get some production from him now as well,” he further revealed after being asked if he and Em had ever interacted with one another. “We’ve bumped heads. We have shook hands and saw each other before, but we never really politicked. Yeah, but I definitely need that production from him.”

His verse on Life's A Bitch is one of the best verses I've ever heard.

I like Em's beats but I don't think its so much the beats that these rappers want but the publicity that comes with an Eminem-produced song. Remember back in 1998, when Em was making headlines because he was rapping over Dr. Dre-produced beats?

Damn HHDX, they should of pulled up some old eminem & played it! When will we have another chance to hear AZ's opinion after hearing it.
