[@RooTUBEer]

No two artists more influential to my generation than Eminem and Linkin Park. It'd be the holy grail of collabs for me.

[@User98q]

Bro that's exactly me lol. I grew listening to Em and Linkin Park

[@DefeatLust]

​​@@User98q haha, yup, same. My top 3 ALL time are #1 Eminem and #2 Linkin Park. There is no #3. Those 2 were my entire childhood, music wise, on constant repeat

[@User98q]

@@DefeatLust Literally bro! First time I listened to Eminem was in my uncle's car back in 2007. I was 9 at the time...I remember it was Mockingbird. I thought Eminem was black lol. And I've became a loyal fan since he dropped Recovery in 2010. Went back and listened to every single album, ep, and mixtape he dropped. And Linkin Park i've known a couple mainstream songs like In the End and Numb. Became a fan after i listened to A Thousand Suns in 2010 too. So yeah basically Eminem and Linkin Park were the very first music I heard and they're still my fav to this day :D

[@damiangorczynski846]

instead of Jay Z it should had been Em in collision

[@Chel_by_the_sea]

Saaaame!!!

[@ariceagaandros]

Mike Shinoda has got to be one of the most humble beings on the face of the Earth. Dude can rap, sing, write, compose, play multiple instruments, and still manages to recognize the talent of others before his own.

[@MadDunhill]

and he can do all those things across multiple genres and create 10/10 songs in all of them. also he's a great producer. he's the best

[@frostgodx]

Sounds like me but people like us get lost in the woodwork of big corp. I got signed and locked away for 6 years then gave up and moved on it’s just a hobby now

[@mohsiniqbal1442]

Most of the artwork on their albums are hand drawn by them as well.

[@kaydee1280]

Very well said and I 100% agree ❤ the only reason (in my opinion) why Eminem has not done any collaboration with any genre is bc he knows the rap culture & industry would dump him out the game so quick and dog him relentlessly like the true jealous punks they have shown themselves to be. Eminem without putting out a record still sells more EVERY YEAR than Drake, lil Wayne, Jay z, Nas the list goes on. Yet bc of skin color he can never make it past number 5.

[@deeznutz32108]

@@kaydee1280 Agreed, unfortunately many in the rap industry such as Benzino hate Em for being white, when he grew up in the same conditions as black folks in Detroit. Skin color doesn't matter, experience does.

I always wanted a Mike Shinoda & Eminem collab. That would be lit🔥

Fort Minor + Em

Could get the singer from Dropout Kings to replace Chester (yes I know there's no such thing as a replacement for Chester, but this guy's vocal style is pretty close to Chesters

"twist mic cords to double helixes and show them what I'm made of" was such a dope line Mike... Don't underestimate yourself. When u got in your bag you were super dope.

[@kp8923]

Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention So many good ones in that song

[@MaddSpazz2000]

Yeah but freestyle is a whole nother skill set to writing.

[@SupermanChampionOfTheOppressed]

Rhyming is not his main thing though. Eminem could paraphrase that same thing but change it up so like 50 of the syllables rhyme and connect.

[@venomenace]

@@MaddSpazz2000 I get that cuz I used to write pretty well (imo) but I could only freestyle half decent when intoxicated 😂 but I don't think I've heard Mike freestyle, so now I gotta go look 🤣

I still need that collabo🥺 Linkin Park and Eminem are two of my most listened to artists

Eminem on a Fort Minor type instrumental would be super 2000’s aesthetic and I think we would all be present for that

[@polo50731]

[@RyanSaywitz]

Need this collab. Sample of Remember the Name with Eminem would go nuts

[@c0rxpseb0i13]

A reworked version with Eminem would be dope

[@chunkynumnums]

The amount of fan-made collabs between them should be sufficient evidence that fans would absolutely love for them to work together!!

[@SquidwardLSDSquirtingOctopussy]

I agree. All these Linkin Park / Eminem mash ups all sound so fire. I always really wanted Chester & Eminem to do a collab of "The way I am" Since both him & Marshall had so much raw power in their voice & Chester screaming the chorus while Mike Shinoda & Marshall trade off on the rap verses would have been brilliant

[@rleonekc07]

Screw a rap battle. Let's get SEVERAL collabs going. PLEASE

[@OragamiSpliff]

I can see it...Linkin Park + Rakim was dope.

[@shriharihudli]

They collaborated with Busta Rymes and Jay Z too.

[@therpgerer]

Dont forget the Lonely Island. One of the funnier combos you wouldnt expect. ​@@shriharihudli

You can rap your ass off man. I still remember the name...lol Not gonna lie though, shinoda/em collab would be a dream come true

[@0223Jeremy]

Absolutely. Eminem and Linkin Park are/were/will forever be my favorite artists.

[@RocketshipSails]

1. I hope Eminem sees this video and reaches out for a collab cuz that would be CRAZY awesome to hear not only you two on a song together, but maybe have you, Mr. Han and Dr. Dre collab on the instrumental as well, holy crap how dope would that be. But 2. I respect your humbleness but I hope you know you’re one of the all time great rappers too. Your vocal presence, energy and lyricism are top tier and have been for many, many years.

[@bryanincommiefornia5629]

Not to mention Mike's crowd work. Watch any live show from LP, Mike engaged with the crowd so much and made them a part of the experience, rather than just putting on a show for them.

[@kane00000]

That would be a 90's kid's dream

[@sumirsookdeo9443]

Between 2009-2015 there should've been a collab.

[@marcgw496]

Or in the early 2000s when Linkin Park was probably as popular as they’ve been and Eminem was at the top of his game.

[@bryanharrison3889]

How humble and respectful for that iconic man in his own right to tip his hat to em like that.

[@hoorahdude]

Unreasonably humble. Shinoda could lay down bars with Em if he put his mind to it, and I'll stand by that.

[@reapersf9307]

Tbh I feel like their both way past their prime. In terms of songwriting tho I would give it to Mike.

[@janiceg7661]

Ohhh a Mike Shinoda and Eminen collab...it IS on the 2024 to do list!! Yesss! Prayers. ❤

[@cyrilvaneijkelenburg3743]

....and a 100% percent reason to collab with the EM

@michaelward9060 same here bro..and i'm an old ass man.. Still get amped like i was in my twenties when their tracks come on.

[@kane00000]

I heard something similar while detoxing. The best you're going to get is Jay Z and Linkin Park. Orr just wait a few months and there will be an eminem/linkin park Mashup which probably already exists.

[@GabrielCroft]

Respect to Mike for being so humble with as much talent as he has. Now I wonder what is on the to-do list for Mike or LP?

[@pantsujutsu5954]

[@archangel9187]

I'm dying to know what eminem thought of chester. You guys and him in a song together years ago would of been the best thing ever

[@Trudon]

How tf this didn't happen is beyond me

[@stantheman143]

Fam, Mike and Eminem would vibe more than any other potential combo. It's a colab with over 20 years in the waiting. I am 100% confident y'all will do it just for the shits and gigles at some point. Yeah Em is insanely huge, but you both got some of the best rep in the game. It would be nothing short of professional, wholesome, and some insane sound would come out of it. Might not be on your to-do list, but don't disregard it completely. Good things have a strange ways of coming together. Here's an idea: Modern sound with a modern beat. Collision course Pt.2 - Call it ''Imminent Impact'' - write 2 originals, mashup a few songs, release a mini episode of a few banger songs, and push most if not all profit to suicide prevention and general youth well being, you'd make history for god knows which time in your lives.

[@djdarq6311]

No

[@KiTho06]

Love the idea. Both Em and LP have helped me trough tough times during my teens. No better cause to donate to for a collab of both of those legends. Wouldn’t need to be a LP Eminem Collab though. Just Mike and Em would be pretty fire aswell

[@What.99]

It’s nice to see a musical artist being honest instead of trying to sound hard. Mike Shinoda is a very humble and level-headed dude, and he is extremely talented even if he doesn’t have a massive ego because of it. Man has made some incredible music, both in Linkin Park and Fort Minor, and on his own.

[@KARALISinc]

Fort Minor was such a success, mike always reminded me of eminem on that album. One of my favorites.

[@agentsituation1034]

That's because stole Mike's pop rap formula. Mike was the first one making crappy emo pop songs with Skylar Grey in 05. Em needs to cut him a check. Em took that formula since 2010 and ran it into the ground.
