What's up? I'm Loren Gray and today I'm taking The Genius Test to find out how
much I know about Eminem.
I started listening to Eminem at a very young age.
My dad played him in the car all the time he had a bunch of like underground
CDs. The first song I ever heard was "Without Me." He would turn it down at all
the bad words, but after that, the older I got the more I got into his music.
My favorite Eminem song? Oh it's hard to pick!
I like "Criminal," "Business," the classics like "My Name Is," "The Real Slim Shady,"
"Without Me." All of them. "Beautiful," I love that one too.
That is the number one person I would want to collaborate with is Eminem. That is the,
that is my biggest dream, yes. I think I'm gonna crush it. I think that whoever has
done it previously is going down! And I know I don't look like I know a lot
about Eminem, but you don't even know. You'll find out.
Who produced Eminem's breakout hit "My Name Is"?
Okay, I'm not good with knowing who produced things. This is the one thing that I knew was
gonna trip me up, but I'm gonna say Dr. Dre, even though I don't know.
I knew it!
Aftermath. Shady Records. I know my shit.
In 2003, Eminem won an Academy Award for what song from
the movie '8 Mile'?
"Lose Yourself."
Of course I've seen '8 Mile.'
The rap battle, the last one.
When he says, he goes,
"This guy's a gangsta? His real name's Clarence and Clarence lives at home with both parents.
In 2018, Eminem traded diss songs with what rapper?
MGK. "Killshot." "Rap Devil."
I'm up-to-date, too. Don't ask me that question, Eminem won for sure. I saw a
guy at Chipotle that I thought looked like MGK. I was gonna have a word with him.
Finish the lyric from Eminem's hit song "The Real Slim Shady." All you other Slim
Shady's are just...
Imitating.
"'Cause I'm Slim Shady. Yes, I'm the real Shady. All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up, please stand up, please stand up."
One of his best performances. When he walked in and
everyone was following him, that was so good
What was Eminem's first independent album, released in 1996?
Infinite.
The first Eminem album that I heard was 'The Eminem Show' 'cause that's the one that my
dad played in the car, but I know that 'Infinite' was first because I had I found
that one a lot later.
What's the name of Eminem's 2017 duet with Beyonce?
"Walk on Water."
I would sing it but, I don't
think I sound like Beyonce, so I'ma just leave it at that.
What album did Eminem release in 2009,
ending a five-year hiatus between solo albums?
'Recovery.'
'Relapse,' it was 'Relapse.'
Yeah, I was gonna say that because there I know there was a gap between that but then I know
'Recovery' had a gap as well. And I was trying to think of where I was in 2009?
How old was I? I was seven.
What English singer was featured on Eminem's 2000 hit "Stan"?
Dido.
Woo!
Everyone calls themselves a Stan now on Twitter
and no one knows where it comes from and it's always me who's like "Eminem."
But I don't know I don't know if there's any Stans like that in my life.
I hope not. That'd be scary.
Eminem's song "Mockingbird" is dedicated to which of his family members?
"Hailie, I know you miss your mom. I know you miss your dad."
The song was dedicated to Hailie Jade. His daughter.
most personal song that I've worked on so far, has been "Kick You Out"
because that was the first time that I really was writing true emotions that
came from my heart, but I definitely have unreleased songs that came from my heart
as well that I could say, but I'm not gonna say so I'll just say "Kick You Out."
What song from Nicki Minaj's 2010 debut album 'The
Pinkprint' features Eminem?
It was "Roman's Revenge."
Yay!
On my Spotify Wrapped, the top two artists, well
three, where Eminem, Nicki Minaj and blackbear. All of my top artists were
hip-hop artists and I am a pop artist which ...I mean it happens but, Eminem and
Nicki we're definitely up there.
Which of these artists has Eminem not had beef with?
It's definitely, Ja Rule is definitely not the answer.
Mariah Carey is definitely not the answer.
I'm gonna say Kendrick Lamar.
Yeah, it would definitely be dope to see Kendrick and Eminem hop on
another track together. I love seeing Eminem collaborate
with people because I feel like, I feel like he needs to get out there, ya know?
He's so... I feel like he's so lonely. He just needs to get out there and make friends.
I think I crushed it.
And you know what? I really, I was about to say 'Relapse' too and I didn't and I'm
regretting it because I would have got a perfect score, but I think I redeemed myself with
those bonus questions. So I'd say I did pretty good.
Yeah, I was seven when 'Relapse' came out. Wow.
You probably shouldn't have been listening to 'Relapse' at seven years old anyway.
Nah, I wasn't listening to it at seven.
I don't think I had a phone.
