Eminem Loves Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale Album
Eminem has made his admiration for Kendrick Lamar clear in the past. The two rappers collaborated on the 2013 song “Love Game,” and Em has labeled him a “top tier lyricist” on multiple occasions. Eminem was also vocal in his adoration for Lamar’s polarizing album, Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. The same album that “didn’t have any bangers,” according to Eminem’s designated “complainers. Em tweeted that he was absolutely floored by Mr. Morale shortly after it dropped in 2022. “This Kendrick album is f*cking ridiculous,” he wrote. “I’m speechless.”
Kendrick Lamar has returned the praise. During a 2016 interview with GQ, the Compton rapper claimed that Eminem was one of his biggest influences. He cited Em’s 2000 album, The Marshall Mathers LP, in particular. “The day I heard The Marshall Mathers LP, I was just like, How does that work,” he explained. “His time is impeccable. When he wants to fall off the beat, it’s impeccable. These are [the] things that, through experience and time, I had to learn… I got my clarity just studying Eminem.” Talent recognizes talent.
