--------
In this clip, Yelawolf recalls his first encounter with hip-hop icon Eminem. Like many aspiring White rappers, Yelawolf was inspired by Eminem's unprecedented success in the industry. Yelawolf speaks very highly of Eminem's skill level, describing how it stood out significantly from other rappers during that time. At their first meet-up, Eminem surprised Yelawolf by greeting him with a recital of Yelawolf's "Pop the Trunk" lyrics before saying, "Hi." This encounter astounded Yelawolf, further fueling his desire to match Eminem's level of achievement. He expressed his ambition to become an ally in the industry, rather than a competitor. Yelawolf laid out this ambition ten years earlier, securing an Eminem demo tape with the promise of returning it once he succeeded. Yelawolf's dreams were realized as he collaborated with Eminem in a Las Vegas studio soon after their meeting.

Eminem in his prime was #1 artist not rapper but artist period for 10 straight years, ems top 2 and he aint 2

[@jaybenjamin4563]

Asked him about Eminem but this is one of my favorites you interviewed right here. I still bump Eminem but yelawolf makes my speakers pound and I like his style. Has a unique style of his own.
