Battle rap veteran and host of My Expert Opinion, Math Hoffa, recently gave an impassioned reaction and bars reakdown to “Animals pt.1”, the explosive new collaboration between JID and Eminem. And it did not go unnoticed.
In a new video, Math shared that Eminem (or somebody from his team) reached out after seeing his reaction: “I received a message today. Big shout out to Em. Good to know the big guy is still watching”.
And watching, and listening, he is. Despite the fandom’s running jokes about Marshall’s tech struggles or his selfie skills, Eminem remains deeply plugged into the culture. You can hear it in his lyrics, loaded with current references, and see it in the way he supports a new generation of talent. He co-signs them, collaborates with them, and still out-raps them, which, let us be honest, is a badge of honour in itself.
This moment with Math Hoffa is a reminder: Marshall is paying attention. He is not just watching from the sidelines. He is still in the conversation, still listening, and still showing love to those who show love to the art.
