Words from Eminem and B.o.B

“

I’ve been up on [B.o.B] for a while. But he’s insane. Like, talentwise, […] the dude, like, fuckin’ plays guitar, he plays keyboard, he writes raps. He’s not only good at writing songs in the sense of just raps, but hooks. He’s fuckin’ insane. He can sing… I just worked with him a few weeks ago in the studio, and I’m like, “Do you fuckin’ dance, too? Jesus Christ!”

The “Airplanes” with Eminem was the original version. We did a second version because Eminem was coming back out at the time, and I think they didn’t want his first look to be a feature. So when I perform it, I sometimes mix up the first version with the second — to this day, I’ve never corrected it. The verses are similar. They’re too similar.
