Tyler as soon as toured with Eminem as a part of Odd Future again in 2010. And in a current interview with HipHopDX, Yelawolf recalled Tyler rapping each single phrase to each tune Em carried out on the trek – joking that it was as if Tyler was trying to show that he knew the Detroit legend’s music higher than his tourmate, regardless of Yela being signed to Shady.
“I remember Tyler mouthing every single word of every song Marshall played,” he stated. “I remember that vividly. We were all by the soundboard and Tyler just knew every word to every song and he made sure that I knew he knew.
“[It was as if he was] like, ‘You’re signed to Eminem? I’ll rap this whole song right to your face. You don’t know this song.’”
Tyler, The Creator has usually expressed his love for Eminem in interviews, and earlier this yr credited the Shady Records founder (together with JAY-Z and Nas) with inspiring the creation of Odd Future.
The Grammy-winner appeared on an episode of De La Soul‘s Apple Music 1 show Art Official Intelligence Radio in March to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the group’s traditional debut 3 Feet High and Rising.
Tyler, The Creator Says He Owes Eminem An Apology For ‘Recovery’ Criticism
During the dialog, Tyler mirrored on coming of age within the early 2000s and the way Roc-A-Fella and Shady Records subconsciously laid the blueprint for his personal future rap crew.
“Man, I grew up in the year 2000,” he started. “So I’m looking at like eight, turning nine. So let’s say it’s 2002, 10 turning 11.
“You’ve got Jay with the whole Roc-A-Fella, you’ve got Shady, Aftermath, you have all these different crews that felt like family. Nas was bringing Queensbridge group like Jungle and them out. N-ggas had this thing. So in my formative years, I’m just watching these crews.”
He added: “And I’m from Los Angeles, so gang culture is already a prevalent thing, but I feel like just the main layer of that is a family-knitted thing like, ‘No, these are my boys, you come with me.’”
