After we got the confirmation a few hours ago, Nicki appeared on MTV‘s Rapfix live and revealed some more details on the Eminem collaboration. Swizz Beatz on the beat yo. The two worked out a new chorus after clearance issues killed the first one.
“We went out on a whim and put it in the air like, ‘It’d be great if he would collaborate with us,’ ” Nicki Minaj said. “I remember I kept talking about it, and I thought, ‘It can’t hurt.’ I sent him one record, and he didn’t love it. He didn’t say, ‘I don’t love it’; he just said, ‘Can you send me something that’s a little more me?’ I sent him an e-mail and thanked him for that, just having enough respect. Sometimes people don’t respond. He had the respect, at least, to treat me like a peer.”
