Well, Eminem, you know, I know him longer. Ive been signed to his label since 2001 and hes a good friend.

Detroit is right now a new Mecca for Hip Hop.

I was about 11 when my mother brought me this karaoke machine and I was really into it back then, but about 4 or 5 years ago is when I started printing up my own music, going to the studio and doing my own thing.

I think I learned the most from Eminem because I spent the most time with him in the studio. Going to L.A. with Dre was a learning experience, just seeing how the dude works and being up-close and personal with a dude whose music I appreciated growing up.

Where's Eminem, when is Em coming out, Em this, Em that, 50 this, 50 that... What about Obie?

I get the music, I get the beats. And I go to the studios and write the lyrics.

I would love to get with somebody who knows the fundamentals of making the movie, then get my money up and start getting into that.
