AX

COMPLEX MAGAZINE FEATURING EMINEM TALKING ABOUT AX

We're glad to have you here. When was the last time you guys heard a rapper out of the crew kick a rhyme and you were like, Damn, I wish I thought of that?

Obie Trice: Nate! Eminem: [Laughs] He's talking about my little brother. Well Andre 3000, you know, when he was rapping.

Nothing recently? You haven't turned on BET and thought, T.I.-that guy can write.

Eminem: I like T.I., I like Jeezy-

Not to put you on the spot about them, in particular, but-

Eminem: Nah, there's a lot of rappers out there that I like, that just have a completely different style. And there's a lot of rappers that simplify their stuff maybe for the listener or whatever. There's a lot of simple stuff out there that I can still appreciate.

So you're saying other rappers are simpler? [Laughs]

Eminem: No, I didn't say that! [Laughs]. That's a misquote! But uh-

Basically they all suck.

Eminem: No! [Laughs] But there is a mixtape and Obie's on the cover with 50. There's a rapper on there, he counts backwards- Obie Trice: From 100 to one. Eminem: Yeah!

Oh, the kid Axel.

Eminem: Yeah, whoever that is, I was like, Damn.
