The iconic singer mentioned seeing Eminem deliver a similar performance before but noted hed never seen anything quite like what Thugger did.

In the end, I had to leave because I think he felt a bit intimidated that I was there and I just wanted him to relax. But its just an amazing moment in my musical life I have no understanding of how rap records are put together and its fascinating to watch.

And he said, Yeah, of course I sang in the choir. Gospel choir. I said, Sing more. Dont just rap, sing more, because the mixture of rap and musicianship and melody is what really makes rap take off.
