Yesterday Eminem turned 51.
His friends and fans have united on social media to send some beautiful birthday messages to the Detroit legend.
Happy birthday to the legendary Eminem. What’s crazy is during my whole come up I used to ask “I wonder if Eminem knows who I am..” that s–t mattered to me. He was the one rapper that I NEEDED approval from. Maybe it’s because musically he birthed my style and from age 13 this dude was like a god to me. The way he was able to put words together and express himself. The way he was vulnerable and spilled his heart out with his pen and made you feel something. From “Stan”, to “The Way I Am” and “Cleaning Out My Closet” and “Lose Yourself” and “Hailie’s Song” and many others…” said Joyner Lucas on his Instagram post.
Then he continued: “Then First time I ever met Em, was at a Royce 5’9″s video shoot. Fast forward and I get to shoot my music video with him…. “LUCKY YOU”….I remember being on this video set and it feeling like an out of body experience the whole time. I kept saying to myself “this ain’t real”… like I’m shooting a music video with the GOAT right now On MY BIRTHDAY!!?? The whole video shoot he kept saying things to me like “yo, when you said this line and that line on this song and that song, how did you come up with that? Like how did you put those syllables together and how did you tell the story in that way?” I’m like, damn bro, you really listen to my s–t? Lol blew my damn mind. Marshall is probably the most humble down to earth people you will ever meet. Happy birthday my brother and thank you for your contributions to both the game AND my life.”
“HAPPY BDAY TO EMINEM, ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE MC’S TO EVER TOUCH A MICROPHONE SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS HIPHOP CULTURE!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREATNESS KING!!” wrote Busta Rhymes in the caption of his Instagram post.
“Happy Birthday to the living legend Eminem love you to death man, God bless wishing you many more.” wrote 50 Cent on X.
