Another day – another contribution to the Eminem Verzuz discourse. Now, E-40, the West Coast OG takes sides and explains why he thinks Busta Rhymes is not only a viable opponent but a possible winner in the battle against Marshall.
E-40 sat down with Jalen & Jacoby and gave his take on the situation. From under a row of RIAA certificates, the Californian spitter outlined his position:
I love Eminem. I love this guy, too, to the fullest. Busta Rhymes would eat Eminem in a Verzuz battle. I really believe that. Busta Rhymes goes crazy. Because, now, it’s turned into a performance type of situation. Busta Rhymes is animated, he’s got gas, he raps fast, all that. He do all that stuff that Eminem do. And Busta Rhymes got up-tempo slaps that get the party going. Anytime you got up-tempo slaps, you’re gonna win. You, guys, gotta agree with me. You know it’s the truth. Eminem is so legendary. Definitely, can’t take it away from him. Great hits, great style. He’s legendary, he’s an icon. But Busta Rhymes’ got it what it takes to bring it to the surface when people say, “Damn, I didn’t even know he had all these hits”. Them he gotta sing the stuff he did with Mariah [Carey] and the stuff he did with Craig Mack. He got his own slaps, and he’s animated. And don’t even let him bring a spliff up there. Let’s get Swizz Beatz on the phone and bring him in! Him and Timbaland have to make this happen.
