I’ve been going through it like a mother.” With the passing of my mom I just needed that extra umph, that verse lifted me up. “I thank you so much, you came at the right time.

“Everything has its time, this tribute to Richie Haven is perfect,” he says. I had been mentioning to Paul if I ever get a chance… I want to do a song with Tech.”

Timing hasn’t been right for a long time. “I’ve been a fan of Tech for a long time. “Unfortunately, I couldn’t be there,” Eminem says over the phone.

Since Sway didn’t believe Tech had landed his dream-collaboration, Tech decided to have Eminem call in to the show during his visit to confirm. Throughout our list of his 50 essential songs (originally published in 2017 and updated on the eve of his 2022 Super Bowl appearance), Eminem fearlessly displays that devotion to task and proves why he’s been one of pop music’s most fascinating, complex characters.Tech N9ne debuted his new track “Speedom (WWC2)” featuring Eminem and Krizz Kaliko on the Sway in the Morning broadcast today (April 20). But for a poor, white, emotionally unstable MC to excel in hip-hop and not be viewed as a villainous buffoon, he must possess prodigious artistic gifts and a real commitment to personal transparency. He’s also, on occasion, regurgitating grotesque sexist, homophobic stereotypes. When Eminem raps about violent, tragicomic death, he is furthering a grand murder-ballad tradition in folk and blues music. But spend serious time with Eminem’s entire catalogue and you quickly realize that those two sides of his music are inextricable, one always informing the other. They eschew the more viciously somber, rock-leaning character studies helmed by Em and his longtime Detroit collaborators Jeff and Mark Bass. Some fans celebrate only the funny “Slim Shady,” when the musical comedy is quality controlled by executive producer Dr. It’s just now he’s finding it harder to joke about the darkness that has always fueled his best work.

Just listen to the vulnerability and self-doubt on his recent single “ Walk on Water.” The Detroit rapper continues to make art about how people are driven crazy by weakness and lack. Though he’s been a multiplatinum, Grammy-winning star for over 20 years, Eminem is not an unequivocally triumphant figure, either within pop music or within his own mind.
