Juvenile and Mannie Fresh have recently sat down with DJ Drewski for an interview where they talked about Cash Money reunion tour, how Lil Wayne got on Back That Azz Up and artists like Eminem still sampling their records.
“Shout out to Eminem. He just used some ‘Ha.’ We can’t do nothing with this songs sitting down. We can’t make no money with these songs just sitting on. So, I applaud the artist, especially the artist that’s really good at it, that got talent.” said Juvenile.
“Em is my dude. Because when my career started, Em was one of them guys that reached out and he showed us love in the beginning so yeah, he’s my guy. But man, I didn’t expect that! We knew it was coming out but I didn’t hear it until it was released.” Juvenile added.
Eminem sampled Juvenile’s “Ha!” song on “Road Rage,” featuring Dem Jointz and Sly Pyper, produced by Dem Jointz, Dr. Dre and Eminem himself, from The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) album. The 10th track on the alum is satirical take on modern society, addressing issues of identity, political correctness, and the current “beauty standards” as well as obesity. Sly Pyper’s chorus further voices the ensuing simmering aggression and the symbolic “road rage” that comes with this sociopolitical climate and the need to conform to these norms. The interlude also features an argument between Eminem and his alter ego, Slim Shady, which highlights the internal conflict between his reflective, socially aware side and the rebellious provocateur within. Em interpolates Juvenile’s flow at the end of the song.
