Busta Rhymes has made no secret of his admiration of Eminem, and is even willing to call out a collaborator on wax to defend the Detroit rap legend.<\/p>\n

In an interview with former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on their\u00a0All The Smoke<\/em> podcast, Busta revealed that he was forced to check a fellow artist on a track they recorded together after they made disparaging comments about the self-proclaimed Rap God.<\/p>\n

Busta didn\u2019t reveal the identity of said artist, but he did say the record has yet to come out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a song coming out with an artist that I had to address about his testimonial and opinion on Eminem too. I had to check him on his own song in rhyme form.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes these moments special is when you can be honest on these records. We ain\u2019t gotta front, so don\u2019t out yourself in a situation and then ask me to rhyme with you \u2019cause I\u2019m going to check you \u2014 and you can\u2019t argue with me \u2019cause I\u2019m the fucking elder statesmen and a timeless great.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Flipmode Squad frontman also checked Dr. Umar Johnson over his controversial claim that Eminem can\u2019t be considered one of the greatest rapp<\/a>ers of all time because he\u2019s white.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ma keep it a buck: I don\u2019t think nobody can fuck with Eminem,\u201d Busta declared. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Dr. Umar, stop it. And there\u2019s a lot of shit that Dr. Umar says that I agree with, but this is one particular [topic] that he\u2019s way off the kilt with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Busta Rhymes and Eminem famously teamed up in 2014 on the song \u201cCalm Down,\u201d which saw the lyrical veterans assert their status as two of the greatest rappers of all time.<\/p>\n

Explaining how the heavyweight collaboration came about, Busta told Complex<\/em><\/a>: \u201cAfter marinating on the record for some time, I felt like this would be an incredible record for Eminem to get on \u2026 We left the song with [Em\u2019s manager] Paul Rosenberg but we didn\u2019t actually get any feedback about whether he was going to jump on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout six weeks passed by, my partner Shaheem Reid reached out to Riggs Morales, who was an A&R at Shady Records at the time. He came by the studio to hear the song, and two weeks later, we finally got a confirmation from Paul that Em had got the beat and that he\u2019s fucking with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few months passed by, and I got a call from Paul. He wanted to meet me in the studio. He came and played Em\u2019s verse, and I was blown away. What was interesting to me though was that Em did a 42-bar verse. Because we\u2019re known for pretty much fucking everybody up when we get on records with other artists, it became a competitive process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went back and I wrote 50 bars. We then scheduled a mix session for the song and when I got to Detroit, he listened to my verse, heard that it was 50 bars, he went back and turned his 42 bars into a 60-bar verse. At that point I went back and turned my 50-bar verse into a 62-bar verse.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then Em made his verse a 64-bar verse. It started off from just doing a dope, high-energy Hip Hop record into us respectfully competing and damn near battling each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
