Big Sean talks studio sessions with Eminem

In a new interview with Billboard, Big Sean talked about Eminem.

“I take pride in being able to collab with Gucci Mane, Eminem, Young Thug, Justin Bieber, Calvin Harris, and still feel completely natural. None of it ever feels forced, or else I wouldn’t do it. It’s always been about respecting the music and trusting the process. “Early in my career, it was always a dream to work with Nas, Eminem, Jay-Z, Ye and Wayne. I’ve been fortunate enough to check most of those off — some more than once. One of the biggest compliments is when I motivate someone I look up to to rewrite their verse. That’s happened a lot, and I never expected it. I just loved knowing I pushed the music forward.” said Big Sean.

Then he continued: “I appreciated going into the studio with Em and talking with him. That was probably the biggest moments of my personal childhood dreams. It was me and Eminem in studio — this was back when Eminem took a break, too, so you didn’t really hear that much from him. I don’t know if he took a break or was getting his s–t together ’cause I think he was still in the studio everyday, but what I remember most was watching South Park and eating pizza in the studio. We’d debate what was better between Family Guy and South Park.”

“We’d talk about life, and I told the story before how Slim Shady LP was the first album I bought at Costco with my birthday money as a kid. I still have it. It’s at my mom’s house. I went to my mom’s house and we have a family house in Detroit. I had all my CDs there and I didn’t want to be a lame and bring the Slim Shady LP to the studio. At the end of the session, bro took my CDs out. He took out Finally Famous, Hall of Fame and asked me to sign them. That was the last time in my life where I said I would never try to be cool.” Big Sean added.
