I think that Eminem is very talented and remarkably bright, and I actually do like a lot of his music.

I'm a big fan of Beyonce and Rihanna. I've listened to Beyonce all my life, and she's a big influence on me.

Eminem is more like a friend. And I'm also a fan on Eminem.

I love Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Katy Perry. They are all about being themselves and I love that.

I admire Rihanna.

After reading Eminem's autobiography, which I did because I'm so interested in him as an artist, I respect him a lot. Even though he seems angry and mad, he's had to fight so many demons in his life.

I listen to Jay-Z, Nelly, Nas, Ludacris and all the young kids out there. I listen to them, and I have mad respect for them.

I have major respect for Kenny Chesney and Carrie Underwood and Sugarland. They are wonderful. They're superstars in the music business.

Not to speak disparagingly of Justin Bieber or Rihanna, but they're not so hands-on with their image or their sound. They don't write the music. They have people doing things for them.

I just respect Kanye as an artist.
