Eminem is up against Kendrick Lamar in a variety of categories at the upcoming Grammy Awards – but the Detroit legend believes K.Dot is going to sweep them all.
Em and his longtime manager Paul Rosenberg chopped it up with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45 for the Sirius XM channel’s 20th anniversary on Christmas Eve (December 24), and the topic of the award show came up.
“I mean, it’s very stiff competition,” Em said happily. “Kendrick’s gonna sweep that shit. He’s going to and he should.”
Kendrick has received seven nominations at the show going down on February 2, and will go up against Em in two of his three nominations, in the categories of Best Music Video and Best Rap Performance.
A long time supporter of Kendrick Lamar, Eminem previously heaped praise upon K. Dot ahead of hitting the stage together at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show in 2022.
When asked by Sway Calloway if he agrees that Kendrick is “the most electrifying vocalist of this generation,” Em replied, “I absolutely would agree. Kendrick is at the very top, top tier of lyricists — not just of this generation, but of all time.”
And in 2015, the Detroit legend told The New York Times: “I love Kendrick Lamar. The way he puts albums together — front to back, they’re like pieces of art.”
Eminem holds Kendrick’s 2012 album good kid, m.A.A.d city in especially high regard, having told Genius, “When I first heard Kendrick’s debut on Aftermath, I couldn’t believe it. The fact that it was his first real album and he was able to make it into a story which intertwines with the skits like that was genius.”
He added, “That hasn’t really been done that many times, let alone on someone’s first time up. The level of wordplay, deliveries, the beats — it’s just a masterpiece.”
The pair joined forces on “Love Game” from Em’s 2013 album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, although they’ve yet to collaborate since.
