KXNG asked Marshall about his chart success but for Eminem, the recognition of his childhood idols is more important.
10 number ones on Billboard 200 – that’s incredible. Have you ever imagined that?
Never in the history of my life. What for me is incredible – is to meet my childhood idols. LL Cool J – my favourite rapper of all times – ever. When I made “Relapse” album, he sat in a car, in a track, and we drove around. And he listened to the whole album. And I was sitting there thinking “I don’t even know what to say”. Before we got into the track I was “I just wanna say what you mean to me, man. I’m a stan of you”. Just for 15-16 years old Marshall to think that that can actually happen one day, LL Cool J is sitting in the car with me listening to my album. Get the fuck out of here!
