I have never spoken to Eminem. I've never even spoken to him once.

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

I'm into the lyrical side of rap. I listen to some old Eminem songs and think, 'Wow, he's a genius.' He's one of the greatest poets of our time. Even when he's out of control, like on 'Cold Wind Blows,' it's incredible.

I'm good at what I do, but I wouldn't be so bold and arrogant as to say something disrespectful about, say, Eminem. He's talented and he's good at what he does.

I have a lot of respect for Eminem and Rihanna. They are both very real in their music.

You're gonna laugh when I tell you this, man, but I'm starting to enjoy Eminem.

I've listened to Eminem rap. That's not daily fare for me, but I can't help but admire how vivid what he does is. My own taste goes a little more toward Norah Jones.

Putting out a debut album is a bit scary - I want it to be just right, so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem's increased involvement has been such a blessing; I'm getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust.

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