Murda Mook Names Eminem His Favorite Rapper Ever, Talks How He Met Him

Battle rap legend Murda Mook recently made his stance clear on where Eminem ranks in hip-hop history during an appearance on The Real Report podcast, hosted by Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda. While reflecting on his own career and influence, Mook delivered an unreserved tribute to the Detroit icon, solidifying him as his all-time favorite artist.

“Eminem is my favorite rapper ever! ever! ever! I argue with n-ggas with my n-ggas. Nobody can change my opinion. I don’t think nobody put any words together better than that n-gga on this planet or universe that I’ve ever heard in my life. I don’t care, it’s just me and I feel like that forever. So, when I heard Em was fan of me, I’m like ‘WHAT THE F–K!'” he said.

He continued by recounting the memorable moment he first crossed paths with the Slim Shady star, sharing details of an encounter in Detroit where he hoped to secure a dream face-off. “I was in Detroit and it was battle happening. Everybody were there but Em and Paul were upstairs. I’m like, ‘Yo, I gotta beat Eminem. Battling Eminem was the lifelong dream. I can’t express how I feel about Eminem. I knew Eminem was nice since My Name Is,” he added.

“Somehow Paul comes down and says, ‘Come upstairs.’ I walk upstairs and I’m gonna sound b–ch man but, I gave him pound and we chopped it for a minute but I didn’t wanna be awkward,” he recalled as he concluded the story, capturing the rare fan-first moment from one of battle rap’s most respected icons.
