Lil Wayne Explains Why He Was Scared To Collaborate With Eminem

Eminem and Lil Wayne have worked together on Drake's 2009 track "Forever" and "Drop the World" on Wayne's Rebirth LP. 

They also collaborated on "No Love," a cut that's on Em's Recovery album.

But Wayne admitted that he was scared to work with the 8 Mile rhymer.

"I was scared, actually, when I called Eminem for a song," Wayne told The New York Times. "That is a monster. He must have the same thing I have with words, like, we can’t get them out of our heads. Every meaning, every aspect of them. Things that rhyme, we hear it. I already know the gift and the curse that he has. And I love to hear the way he puts it together."

A few years ago, Em spoke highly of Wayne's skills while talking about how much he loved his verses on "Mona Lisa" from his Carter V album.
