Words from Eminem

“When The Music Stops” was with D12, and it was definitely a good time for us. We knew we’d made it. To me, the guys had gotten to a new level of rhyming, even better than before. It’s one of my favorite rhymes from Proof on a song, and it’s one of the best D12 songs.

When I was doing my verse, I dropped the beat out for a long time. While I was rhyming, before the beat came in, everybody in the studio had their hands up in the air, going wild. When you get that approval you want to keep going. It was a big-ass party. When Dre came in and listened to it, he was like, “Damn!”

— Eminem, The Way I Am, 2008
