“Dre still records,” Hughes said. “People don’t know this: Dre records every day. Literally, he’s in there recording songs every day. He’s like Picasso in that way. He’s always painting. Right now he’s producing, in the 11th hour, a track for Eminem’s latest album. So Dre’s still real active in music, you know? But I hear what you’re saying. It’s the truth.”
Dr. Dre produced Eminem’s 1999 debut album, The Real Slim Shady. The two hip-hop veterans have always worked closely together. The last time they worked together was in 2010 on Eminem’s Recovery album
On DJ Drama’s Shade 45 program, Streetz Iz Watchin, 2 Chainz mentioned him working with Eminem on his new album.
“I’ve heard it all, you know what I’m saying? I’ve heard it all. You know, this like rap talk. It’s like, you see a rapper in the club and you’re like, ‘Let’s do one.’ It’s cap, you know what I mean? So you know, he’s like, ‘The boy wanna do something with you.’ And I’m like, ‘Whatever.’”
Eminem offered 2 Chainz a chance to do a remix. 2 Chainz refused the offer. “I tell him straight up… Eminem, what would you need a remix for? Remixes are used to carry records to No. 1 spots. When have you ever did a remix for someone or for yourself? That’s cap at it’s finest,” 2 Chainz says.
Eventually 2 Chainz ended up doing a whole verse.
