1/2 of Mobb Deep talks with MTV about working with Eminem on his upcoming album.
“When it came to him, it’s like, I really didn’t want to give him a track that he was already kind of familiar with rhyming to,” Havoc said. “I just wanted to do me and doing me consists of doing all kinds of different styles than what they associate me with, which is dark-sounding. The track that I did for him, it’s dark and at the same time it can go across the board as far as the content in the sample and what it’s saying. I try to think outside the box but not go too far with it. I think I met myself somewhere in the middle, and I hit him with a track and it worked.”
This should please more than a few folks as I remember reading some banter in the c-section about his single being too uplifting and not like the Em we all know.
Cant wait.
UPS
if em really has no skits on his album it’s gonna be a rap…. he will have the best album of the year.. either him or kanye…. i’ll bet on that too
Cant wait for this also…but I cant stand the “ping pong” that people play with Em…either his shit is too dark or too soft…hip hop(real hip hop, not these muppet babies) is supposed to be tru shit…if u dont like his music, dont listen…
“if em really has no skits on his album it’s gonna be a rap…. he will have the best album of the year.. either him or kanye…. i’ll bet on that too”
I agree, both Em and Kanye have crazy production lined up, and both seem like they’re poised to bring it on the mic.
I feel ya dale…. people complain if he do one thing but if he does another its over… they get mad at him… its like damn just stop hating.. if u like it u like it if u dont then dont listen like u said
“will smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records, well i do, so fuck him, and fuck you too!”
too bad havoc forgot how to reproduce back in the late 90s
I think the skits make his albums, from way back when he started with it. it just the album more together, keeps it light from all the dark musical content.
It atleast should have an intro..PSA 2010 or somthin..
i’ma miss the Steve Berman skits!
that always cracked me up haha lmao
88,
reproduce? he stopped having sex in the late 90′s? i doubt that.
either way, he can still make sick beats.
I’m gonna miss the Ken Kaniff skits. They made me laugh everytime.
Since Em came back last year I’ve heard the following:
“I hate the accent.”
“I hate the double-time raps.”
“I hate that the songs are so dark.”
“I hate ‘Not Afraid;’ it wasn’t dark enough.”
Sounds to me like people just want to hate Em no matter what he does.
LOL reproduce, i’ll take a week off of commenting for that
yeah so down with that dark border line shit haha, thats em at his best
I hate when people STILL say “I want him to rap like the slim shady LP” I like that album as much as the next guy, but his talent, skills and subject matter have evolved greatly since then haha. I do NOT want slim shady LP emeinem. We got close enough to that with Relapse.
Can’t fucking wait for this album
this guy says he has the new em havoc track http://twitter.com/LilLefteezy…. any truth to that??
dem Ken Kaniff skits where album highlights. we need at least one of those.
“SPLIT MENTALITY” FEAT. WISE http://usershare.net/frbhd3qm9i5b THIS HIP HOP! CRAZY RAPPERS! THEY BIPOLAR! LISTEN NO BUL
STILL MADD ALC DIDNT MAKE THE ALBUM…..HAVOC IS NICE…..BUT ALC IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL…..
