Award winning Detroit MC, actor and songwriter chimed into the discussion about a possible match to Hov.
It was Jay-Z who sparked the conversation by saying that there is nobody who can step into a proverbial ring with him for a hit battle. The Internet reacted immediately, offering hypothetical pairings. And, of course, Eminem was at once a popular and controversial option that made his name trending on Twitter.
So now, the Detroit veteran offers his own well-informed argument to his Instagram followers:
This is an unpopular opinion ’cause you know Jay-Z is the greatest rapper ever, to me, personally. But there is one person that can stand on the stage and battle Hov, and it ain’t who y’all think. It’s Eminem! It’s Em the fucking Nem, bro!!
