Words from Eminem

“

Ms. Jenkins was the first [sample for a] rap song [Queen] ever cleared. They listened to the record themselves in order to clear it. That shit was crazy. It was a big deal in order to get that cleared.

The first [version] was over my boy Rikanatti’s beat. It was a whole different record, and Em heard it, loved it, and he freaked it with the [Queen] sample. He was like, “I want you to hear something.” He played it, then I came back to his studio in Detroit and re-recorded it, ‘cause I had already recorded it out in L.A. It was a different type of vibe before he changed it. He saw it playing out like a movie.
