‘Rap God’ rapper Eminem praised by Rihanna, Tech N9ne

Eminem recently received compliments from Rihanna and Tech N9ne. The “Rap God” rapper collaborated with Rihanna in “Love the Way You Lie,” “The Monster” and “Numb” and with Tech N9ne in “Speedom” along with Krizz Kaliko.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Rihanna said Eminem is one of her favorite people. Describing the “Rap God” rapper as focused and disciplined, she said he is a good father and a good person with many layers.

“I mean you can’t tell me that you have to be in the club when Eminem is legit at home,” Rihanna said of Eminem. She added that the Detroit rapper is still one of the most prestigious rappers of this generation.

For Rihanna, Eminem is “one of the most talented poets of our time.” She considers it “a brilliant moment” to have the rapper ask her to be part of a record, which made her feel anointed.

According to Rihanna, Eminem thought she was cool enough to be on “Love the Way You Lie.” She admitted that the lyrics of their 2010 collaboration song about a dysfunctional relationship reflected what she felt but could not tell the world at that time.

Meanwhile, Tech N9ne recently named Eminem among his favorite lyricists. Tech N9ne compared his “Speedom” collaborator to the “Friday the 13th” character Jason Voorhees in an interview with Hip Hop DX.

“It was time to dedicate a song to the Slasher that I adore, Michael Myers Mask, who I think I am lyrically,” Tech N9ne said. “Eminem, he wore the Jason mask, Jason Voorhees, he's a murderer lyrically.”

Tech N9ne will release his 16th studio album titled “Strangeulation” on Nov. 20. The album has 20 songs including collaborations with Tyler Lyon, Mackenzie O’Guin, MURS, Wrekonzie, Bernz, Ubiquitous, Rittz, Prozak, Stevie Stone, CES Cru, Big Scoob, Brotha Lynch Hung and Kaliko, who collaborated with Tech N9ne and Eminem in “Speedom.”
