Ab-Soul has revealed that the first CD he ever bought was an Eminem album.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Uproxx<\/em> on Sound Check<\/em>, the TDE rapp<\/a>er discussed the influence the rap legend had on him.<\/p>\n

Ab-Soul said: \u201cEminem is the first CD that I bought. It\u2019s interesting because I grew up in a record shop. So I had everything but my mama would always give me the clean version.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t remember if it was The Slim Shady LP<\/em> or The Marshall Mathers LP<\/em> that I bought but I know it was Eminem. It was the first one I snuck in and bought.\u201d<\/p>\n

Em caused something of an upset when he took home Favorite Hip Hop Artist and Favorite Hip Hop Album ahead of wide favorite Lamar.<\/p>\n

While the Compton superstar did pick up a win for Favorite Hip Hop Song with \u201cNot Like Us\u201d, he was otherwise shut out at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Lamar was nominated across five other categories including Artist of the Year but was beaten by Billie Eilish.<\/p>\n

Eilish also triumphed over Lamar in Album of the Year and Song of the Year.<\/p>\n

Lamar and\u00a0SZA\u00a0were also nominated for Collaboration of the Year but beaten by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga with their smash hit \u201cDie With A Smile\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cDie With A Smile\u201d also beat \u201cNot Like Us\u201d to Favorite Music Video.<\/p>\n

Eminem\u2019s win was later called in to question by Kai Cenat who attended the awards in person.<\/p>\n

Livestreaming his reaction, Cenat said: \u201cLet\u2019s be real. I fuck with Slim Shady but let\u2019s be real.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cEminem is tough but let\u2019s be real though, gang.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kendrick would later bounce back at the BET Awards where he won Album of the Year, Best Hip Hop Artist, Best Collaboration Video of the Year and Video Director of the Year, the latter two of which he shared with longtime creative partner Dave Free.<\/p>\n

Lamar appeared on the TV broadcast to collect the award for Album of the Year and gave a brief speech to the crowd in attendance.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI ain\u2019t been here in a long time but I always kept my heart BET. I always made sure they representing the culture right and they put me in the midst of the cycle we represent and that\u2019s real, true, down to earth music that people can feel so I always give my heart to BET.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
