Lil Wayne Reveals He Was Scared To Collab With Eminem

Lil Wayne Says He Was Scared When He First Worked With Eminem On ‘Drop The World’

Lil Wayne is a lyrical titan in his own rights and undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers ever. However, he recently made it known that he was scared when he first worked with Eminem.

Wayne made the revelation during a.ln interview with The New York Times for its Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary feature published on Wednesday (July 19).

“I was scared, actually, when I called Eminem for a song,” Tunechi said on when he called Eminem to collab for the 2010 song, “Drop the World.”

“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,” he added.

“Drop the World” was on Wayne’s Rebirth album, and while it was his personal first song with Eminem, the pair had previously both appeared together on Drake’s 2009 song “Forever” along with Kanye West. They then collaborated on Eminem’s Recovery album later in 2010 for “No Love.”
