    • @sweetnumb
      @sweetnumb 3 роки тому

      Fun fact: Renegade originally featured Royce Da 5'9". In the original version Eminem didn't go "he's jiggy jurry jiggy ja jiggy jiggy jiggy and I'm" but instead it made SO much more sense when I heard the real lyrics of "he's Royce he's the king of Detroit and I'm the sinister, mister kiss my ass is just a Renegaaaade".
      Plus as good as Jay-Z is, Royce is really the only one to collaborate with Eminem and not feel like a second-string addition, obviously not counting posthumous collaborations like Eminem and Tupac. That would have been a godly duo though god damn. If only Eminem had the balls to collaborate with Tonedeff, but he's too obsessed with having the highlights on a collaboration so he won't ever do a track where he's outclassed by another rapper in every single possible way other than making beats. Speaking of which, hearing Tonedeff + Eminem on an Eminem beat and on a Tonedeff beat would be fucking insane, and if they were to both collaborate on a Kno beat I doubt any rapper would ever even pretend they were the best again.

    Yeah so far he hasn’t talked about how that single got split on both their albums. I think that’s a underrated move these days. A lot of artists really stick to the feature fee. Like I would hope that the NBA Young boy and Migos single is either being split five ways or 50-50 between the two brands. I think Rhiannon and TIP did that same move.... or was it the No Love single. Maybe neither but I know there is a few other mega singles
