This is not the first time Flav gave Eminem a shout out. Roosevelt, New York-born hip-hop artist has previously crowned Slim Shady as “the best rapper alive” and “The GOAT of hip-hop.” Earlier this year, during the interview with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45 radio, Flav said: “Eminem is my favorite rapper. Word up. And not only that, he still shouts Flavor Flav out in his records. Yeah boy! You know what? Check this out. I don’t care how they trying to color my man it don’t stop him from being number one. That’s all I got to say. And being number one don’t have no color. Word up man. Yeah, Eminem man! he’s the best rapper alive right now man! Can’t nobody beat him out. When you can’t be beat, that means you are the best. Let me tell you something. Back in the day, when Eminem, Snoop, Dre, they had this group together and this is when the first time Eminem seen me and when he seen me, he went ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. I didn’t know who he was at that time. I gave him mad love man. He went crazy over me and I gave mad love. Lets say like this, because a lot of those guys [Redman, LL Cool , Nas] are like mentors to Em. But then Em is like a mentor to them too. It’s all a mutual respect thing. That’s one thing I could say about Eminem. He has mad, mad respect from all of the legends in the rap game but he’s a legend himself. For real.”

Another rap legend who recently gave shout out to Eminem is ICE-T. During one of his shows in early 2010s, Eminem wore the t-shirt that had printed back cover of Ice-T’s second studio album, POWER. Ice shared the picture on Twitter with the caption: “Yep, the legendary Back cover.. RESPECT to Eminem.” Like Flav, the respect between Em and Ice is mutual and the two have given lots of shout outs to each other over the years. Check out the tweet below:
