I'm speechless.— Marshall Mathers (@Eminem) May 15, 2022Lamar has been vocal about Eminem’s influence on him as an artist. It’s something that can be heard on some of Lamar’s more aggressive vocal performances, such as the third verse on ‘Backstreet Freestyle’ from 2012’s ‘Good Kid, M.A.A.D City’.Back in 2016, during an interview with GQ, Lamar elaborated on how Eminem’s approach to language had shaped him. “I got my clarity just studying Eminem when I was a kid.
How I got in the studio was all just curiosity. I had a love for the music, but it was curiosity,” Lamar told the publication.“The day I heard The Marshall Mathers LP, I was just like, How does that work? What is he doing? How is he putting his words together like that? What’s the track under that? An ad-lib? What is that? And then, Why don’t you go in the studio and see? So I do that.“Then it became, How’s his words cutting through the beat like that? What is he doing that I’m not doing, now that I’m into it? His time is impeccable. When he wants to fall off the beat, it’s impeccable.
