When celebrity and the music climate was how it was in the 90's then I found musicians to be speaking to each other over tracks to be an inviting and humble type of act. Now with email, texts making it easy to communicate and anything a celebrity does being under an endless microscope then it comes across as disingenuous, especially when that person is clearly begging for attention. This song wasn't for Em. This song was seizing opportunity to gain a few fans through the extra searches they'll garnish through being name dropped. I'm not saying they give a fuck or should. I'm just saying that obvious marketing is obvious.
How many times did he shake the bags of weed? Bragging about his half mill he made. 'Oh, you knew Eminem?' like this bitch didn't know he knew Eminem. 'I was just listening to this obscure Eminem song and wow he mentioned you. You're obviously too cool to even mention you knew him.' Him bobbing his head all awkwardly to the beat. I'M RAW AND YOU'RE RAW, TOO. LET'S BE RAW TOGETHER.
