Eminem on Macklemore: "He's Really Dope"

Eminem and Macklemore have been singing (rapping?) each other’s praises after Em did an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in which he called the Same Love rapper “really dope.”

 

“I’ve heard Macklemore’s whole album,” Eminem revealed. “I think there’s very technical s*** that he does. He’s a really good songwriter, too. Conceptually, the s*** he does is pretty f****** incredible.”

 

And Macklemore was apparently so delighted when he heard the compliment he wanted to Instagram the quote. “I think I still might,” he added.

 

“What meant the most to me out of all that s***, is what he said about the technical stuff, and the songwriting,” the Thrift Shop singer explained. “Because I think a lot of people do, for whatever reason, think that there’s not a technical skill set to what I bring to the records.” 

 

“And to have Em validate that – I mean, that’s like the technician of technical rap. So that was super fresh to me. And obviously he’s Em, he’s one of the best rappers ever."
