In talking with the Zach Sang Show, Ed Sheeran of all people has the scoop on what went down when K.Dot met Slim Shady before Em said Lamar “raps to be the best rapper in the world.”
“I heard a very cool story about Eminem and Kendrick Lamar,” he says. “Eminem wanted, he heard that Kendrick Lamar was the best rapper and he invited him to the studio to get him on a song. He arrived and Kendrick came with all his mates and Eminem said, ‘I just want you in the studio, just you on your own. And then my engineer is gonna come in and then record you doing it. But your mates aren’t allowed in.'”
Kendrick complied, “wrote a sick verse” and everyone gathered around to see what the TDE rapper was truly capable of. And Cornrow Kenny nabbed an appearance on “Love Game” off The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
“Eminem said that he did it to test Kendrick because he thought he had a ghostwriter,” Sheeran continues. “He then realized that he didn’t, and then claimed he was the best, which is kinda cool I think.”
How did popstar Ed Sheeran get this gem for the Hip Hop history books? Rick Rubin, of course. The music mogul handled production for the singer’s X album. After working with Eminem on The Marshall Mathers LP 2, Rubin called the Detroit legend “maybe the best rapper of any MC.” Kendrick and Rubin just recently met for the first time and had a very insightful conversation that included the TDE rapper crediting Eminem for his lyricism, before they hit the studio.

I really think it's simple. I LOVE rap and I think it is a no brainer. His flow, lyrics, multi-syllables and overall delivery are flawless. Dont get me wrong, Pac and Biggie made the game what it is today but I don't think even they can lyrically compare to Eminems genius. All rappers no not to go at him because he will straight hurt their feelings. Has he lost a little bit over the years? Yeah, I think he probably has but don't think for a second he doesn't still have. Look at Mariah. Granted she's a female and it was very easy for him but she shouldn't have opened her mouth and it never would have happened. The real reason he even responded to a female was to let the rest of the game know, "Hey, don't slip up and think I've lost it cause anybody is welcome to try! " I think he easily got his point across! Listening to that song, if you know what you're talking about at all, you know he definitely still has it. The lyrics and flow were absolutely phenomonal. Hands down the best ever! That's just my opinion though!DKC, sxneighty123, boyz n the suburbs and 1 other person like this. -

I always thought this quote was really overlooked and uh very telling.
“But we don’t communicate like we used to. He told me he had to experiment with other writers, other producers. It was very fair. All artists probably do that. We could only have our vision of what he should be.lil uzi vert stan, Kon and SliK like this. -
