In a YouTube video shared by user @answeredthatforyou, it’s revealed that Eminem once doubted Kendrick Lamar’s authenticity as a rapper. Eminem was so convinced that Kendrick might be using a ghostwriter that he devised a test to verify his skills. Inviting Kendrick to his studio in Detroit, Eminem made a bold request: for Kendrick to write a verse solo, without his entourage present. This unexpected condition stemmed from Eminem’s suspicion that Kendrick might not be penning his own lyrics. However, after witnessing Kendrick’s performance, Eminem’s doubts were dispelled, confirming Kendrick’s legitimacy as a rapper.
The revelation, discussed in the video, sheds light on a pivotal moment in the music industry. Despite initial skepticism, Eminem’s test ultimately served as a testament to Kendrick’s talent and authenticity. The video has sparked various reactions from viewers, with some praising Eminem’s approach as a form of validation, while others debate the ethics of such a test. Nevertheless, fans were quick to identify the collaborative track between Eminem and Kendrick, “Love Game,” released as part of Eminem’s album “The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
