Maryland's Cordae explains why he decided not to have a three-man collaboration with Eminem and Lil Wayne on 'From a Birds Eye View.'

January 31, 2022 The Sinister emcee explains why he changed his mind. Hip Hop legends Lil Wayne and Eminem joined forces on memorable songs such as No Love, Drop The World, and Forever. Rising rap star Cordae wanted to reunite Weezy and Slim Shady on his new album. Cordae spoke to Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1 about topics related to From a Birds Eye View. The 24-year-old, Maryland-raised emcee mentioned Sinister was nearly a three-man collaboration. When I made Parables, I knew Eminems vocal tone would sound good on that because the beat is like that airy vibe on some Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers LP sort of vibe. So I knew his vocal tone would thrive on that, said Cordae. With Sinister, that really wasnt even going to be an album cut. But Wayne accented that, he brought that record up, honestly. So I just want to make the best music possible, versus like, Okay, I got Em on this, let me redo my verse, let me redo this verse because I got Wayne on it.' Cordae continued, Like no, I like how I introed it in. It threw the between the leg alley-oop for bro to windmill slam dunk it. Funny enough, I was going to put Eminem on Sinister as well. It was going to be Wayne and Eminem all on Sinister.' Ultimately, Cordae went with having Sinister only feature Lil Wayne. Meanwhile, Eminem showed up on the From a Birds Eye View track titled Parables (Remix). Cordae expounded on why he decided against putting both rap icons together again. Just for all the Hollywood glitz and glam, it wouldve been cool because its Wayne and Em on the same track, stated Cordae. I know how Drake did it on Forever, and I was just like, Yo, thats just a flex move of putting Wayne and Em on the same record. Nobodys done this since Drake did it on Forever. Im kind of just showing my muscle. But it wouldnt have been the proper record, if that makes sense. From a Birds Eye View also featured Gunna, H.E.R., Lil Durk, Stevie Wonder, Freddie Gibbs, Roddy Ricch, and Ant Clemons. Cordaes second studio album was met with mostly positive reviews. The LPs Metacritic score currently sits at 73/100 Posted in Read more
