when i get these things its a wrap. me n' my peoples is gonna run hiphop.
i got to the point where i dont really have to listen to the whole song. i skim thru it most of the time. and when i find somethin' i get a overload of ideas n' i have to finish it by any means necessary. No food, no tv, no telephone, no human interaction.

Eminem production is not that serious. I read that interview. He got madd producers coaching his ass.
He basically makes a aiight beat, n' a team of Dr. Dre's producers polish it so it'll sound professional.
Scratch basically put Em on the cover so the mag can get sweeped off the...
