When speaking on the title of Marshal Mathers LP
2, Eminem says, "The more I listened to it, the more it made sense to
call it that.
Marshal Mathers LP 2 is slated to drop this Tuesday with numerous singles and a video for the track "Berzerk" already released.
A video for the second single, "Rap God" has reportedly been shot as the Detroit Free Press recently caught up with Eminem
during the video shoot and he gave insight on his upcoming release. Em
said a lot of the reason he made the LP a sequel to his 10x
platinum-selling second album is because people around him said it
reminded them of his earlier days in Hip Hop.
“While recording the album, people who would hear a song
would say it reminded them of the first time they heard me," Eminem said
when discussing reasons for the title." The more I listened to it, the
more it made sense to call it that... We knew that if we called it that,
we needed to have the right songs. There needs to be a certain kind of
vibe."
Reportedly shooting the video in his hometown of Detroit,
Michigan, Eminem also talked about his involvement in his own music
videos.
“I’m always imagining shooting video; visualizing the
picture. What everything could, should look like," he said. "I’m always
thinking about music videos and ideas, concepts. I do that for almost
all of my songs.”
Eminem On Working With Rick Rubin On "MMLP2"
“I felt like a kid in the studio working with Rick,” Eminem when asked about Rick Rubin's
involvement in the album. “Obviously, it’s an incredible honor. The way
he can dip in and out of different genres ... he’s like Yoda, a Jedi
master.”
Eminem recently spoke with DJ Whoo Kid's Shade 45 show specifically
about recording with Rick Rubin, one of the executive producers of the
project. He said he was intimidated by Rubin but became more comfortable
as time progressed. He relayed similar sentiments during the interview
with the Free Press.
“Once the nerves wore off, you just see how cool he is,
and I instantly became comfortable telling him about different ideas,
things that weren’t fully worked out yet that I would’ve been afraid to
say in front of him. He’s like, ‘I’m just somebody who’s thinking about
things for you.’ We just ran ideas off each other, lots of what-ifs. It
was great.”
