    I have a theory:
    Eminem hasn't collaborated with a well know rapper (i.e. Drake, Wayne, Kendrick, Kanye) since love game with Kendrick.

    Love game was basically a satire song, which is eminems forte compared to Kendricks. He has even said that he wanted to do something people wouldn't expect from a track with those 2 thus giving him the advantage over Kendrick.

    Does he not want to be outshined by these other rappers? He'll outshine slaughter house, yelawolf and tech nine all day even in his current rap form, but maybe not the aforementioned ones.

    My hypothesis is that Eminem is scared to make songs with these rappers because of all the attention it would get and the chance that he will be 'renegaded'. What are your thoughts?

    He worked with everyone you mention. and why would he be scared? He's the only listenable part of forever. He owned Wane on both songs. Kendrick is debatable but I prefer Em's verses

    Yeah I just mentioned the rappers he mentioned but I agree and I didn't mention drop the world because Wayne's verses was very good but ems probably matched both

    I'm meaning like since mmlp2. I'm sure he has had opportunities to work with loads of rappers and more than likely denied them

    Talking about since love game, just think he has more than likely denied the opprobrium to collab with some of the really good rappers out there.

    they need him more than he needs them at this point.
    Like to get an Em feature is massive exposure for your project. He probably see's no need to help someone unless they tight (Trick Trick, yela)

    I think it's safe to say he can renegade all of them today, aside from Kendrick. Kendrick is the only one of them who could beat Em imo

    Kinda what I'm eluding to, kinda. If he's so good like he says he is then murder them on a track. He even says something like that on knd, that retire line. Which has no relevancy since he doesn't collab with anyone

    But he hasn't done a album and not many people have released albums since then he was never gonna be on TPAB was he? How do you know other rappers don't wanna work with him?

    I can see why these people stop calling me to do these features and these cyphers on BET

    But with Compton why was he on a song with Anderson pakk. And a girl singer? That album had loads of features with great rappers and he's on a song like that? Just seems like he's protecting himself
