Eminem sat down with Sway on Shade 45 yesterday for a special Q&A along with fans and several members of the press. The recently named Youtube Artist of The Year goes in depth with Sway for more than an hour on music, his experiences, and his new album, MMLP2.

In a highlight moment of the interview (5:12) , Sway brings up Marshall’s lyrical approach on his record “Rap God” and says that it’s something he hasn’t heard yet from Em, but that it reminds him a lot of Pharoahe Monch‘s verse on “Bring It On” a track from Organized Konfusion‘s second LP Stress: The Extinction Agenda. Slim Shay would get into his inner-Pharoahe Monch and start spitting the verse off the classic cut. Afterwards, Em would praise the verse by saying, “That rhyme right now would kill most rappers 99.99%.” Giving credit to Pharoahe for his talent, he mentions that the Queens veteran was always ahead of his time since he landed in the scene.

Much more key moments in this interview, so make sure you check the whole thing out, and if you aren’t familiar with song “Bring It On” then check out the track underneath the interview audio.
