HIPHOPFACT: Eminem Once Tested Kindrick Lamar To See If He's w/ A Ghostwriter. (Video)

It's not a not a news that Eminem is a big fan of Kendrick Lamar. He has even went so far as to call Kendrick's major label debut a “masterpiece,” but there's a story that went down of the Rap God testing Kendrick that never surfaced until now.


In talking with the Zach Sang Show, Pop star Ed Sheeran of all people has the scoop on what went down when Kendrick met Slim Shady before Em gave him the badge of honor by saying Lamar “raps to be the best rapper in the world.”

“I heard a very cool story about Eminem and Kendrick Lamar,” he says. “Eminem wanted, he heard that Kendrick Lamar was the best rapper and he invited him to the studio to get him on a song. He arrived and Kendrick came with all his mates and Eminem said, ‘I just want you in the studio, just you on your own. And then my engineer is gonna come in and then record you doing it. But your mates aren’t allowed in.'”
Kendrick complied, “wrote a sick verse” and everyone gathered around to see what the TDE rapper was truly capable of. And Cornrow Kenny nabbed an appearance on “Love Game” off The Marshall Mathers LP 2.



Eminem said that he did it to test Kendrick because he thought he had a ghostwriter,” Sheeran continues. “He then realized that he didn’t, and then claimed he was the best, which is kinda cool I think.”
