Lil Wayne Revealed He Was Scared When He First Called Eminem For a Collaboration — WhatsOnRap
Lil Wayne, undoubtedly one of the most prominent and celebrated rappers in the entire country, once revealed an intriguing tale about his experience working with none other than the iconic Eminem on their powerful 2009 collaboration, “Drop the World.”
In a candid interview with the esteemed New York Times, Wayne confessed that he was initially filled with trepidation when he decided to reach out to Eminem for a joint musical venture. “I was scared, actually, when I called Eminem for a song,” Wayne told New York Times. “That is a monster. He must have the same thing I have with words. Like, we can’t get them out of our heads. Every meaning, every aspect of them. Things that rhyme, we hear it. I already know the gift and the curse that he has. And I love to hear the way he puts it together.”He continued: “When I was on The Tonight Show, I was playing Pictionary. And my thing was Harry Potter. So I drew a pot, and they got that. I drew a man with a face, and I put a bunch of hair around him. They were like, ‘Wait, he’s hairy.’ I’m, like, Harry Potter. We plan our words. At all times.”
