Words from Nicki Minaj
“We sent [Eminem] “Majesty,” and really, to be honest, I did not think he was going to do it. And he co-produced it […] he did the same thing with “Roman’s Revenge” […] but he added more production value on this one. He just goes in, he tailor-makes the beat around his flow, and then, you know, it’s epic. Can we acknowledge that [Eminem’s verse is] one of the best rap verses we’ve heard in years? Like, oh my God — I was so freaking stunned when I got that back. I just sat there for a long time; I couldn’t move, I couldn’t do nothing. I was just like, “Yo, he murdered!” It was like another level because lately you don’t see rappers doing that, because they don’t feel like they have to anymore. But at one time, rappers wanted to impress lyrically. Now rappers want to impress by going on Instagram and doing a rant.
