Eminem and Lil Wayne emerged simultaneously onto the Rap scene in the late 1990s. The careers of both MCs began in the early years of the decade. In 1999, Marshall Mathers, on the other hand, released The Slim Shady, and Weezy of The Hоt Boys released the breakthrough solo Tha Block Is Hоt. Respected veteran producers Mannie Fresh and Dr. Dre oversaw the endeavors of each respective artist. Following that, every artist propelled themselves to superstardom over the subsequent decade.
While some Rap fans may have regarded a collaboration between Eminem and Wayne as unconventional in the ’90s, the two artists actually appeared in multiple tracks together. A blockbuster single from 2009, “Forever” featured Em, Weezy, Kanye West, and Wayne’s protege Drake. In the following year, Marshall made an appearance on Wayne’s rock single “Drop The World.” Tunechi reciprocated the favor the following year with a featured verse on “No Love.”

Before mentioning Em in particular, Weezy stated that the co-founder of Cash Money Records would always place the greatest verses at the beginning of Hоt Boys’ compositions. “Being a member of Hоt Boys was ideal, but I regarded it as education. That is a test: “When I get to that studio, I’m going to pass the test; my verse will be the most difficult.” And it was consistently a matter of who Baby desired to go first…That always indicates that he found your verse to be his favorite. Immediately return and review the manner in which I commence each of those tracks.”

Additionally, he asserts that Hov heard his “Hello Brooklyn” verse (which contains a reference to Capone-N-Noreaga) on a Wayne mixtape and requested that he repurpose it for American Gangster.
