Westside Gunn has recently sat down with Math Hoffa on the latest episode of My Expert Opinion where the Griselda rapper talked about how he made a decision to sign a contract between Eminem's Shady Records and JAY-Z's Roc Nation. "Why signing to Royce 5'9" didn't work out?... Royce was cool. That's my ni--a. Still to this day. But at the same time, no disrespect to Royce, that's my brother, being a hungry east-side Buffalo ni--a that's trying to stop selling drugs, I got an opportunity to sign to f--king biggest artist of all time, it's no-brainer. Because my options were Marshall or Hov. Paul Rosenberg had Shady and he had the management Goliath. So when I started going over there talking to Mike, I was going over there for Goliath. It was not even signing to Shady because I only wanted to be Griselda Records cause I was already me. This is after the FlyGod album." said Westside Gunn. Then he continued: "Shady, they had the movies. 8 Mile, Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. I'm thinking already ahead like 'yo, Griselda story is...Ni--a, if they see this east-side Buffalo, we outta here,' as long as I can get they can make this movie, it's over, cause I know the story. I watched their stories but ni--a, I know this story. So, I'm just like, 'let me finesse...', like I said, Roc Nation had a the label and management and Paul had label and management. So, I'm like 'I can sign and want to be managed by one. What the f--k am I thinking?' I can be the first ni--a that could be signed to JAY-Z and then managed by Paul and Marshall, or I could sign to Marshall and be managed by JAY-Z. So, let me go with this movie route and all this s--t and still be backed by Hov. And that's how I made my decision. And no disrespect to Royce but that could not happen that way doing that."
