Influences and rapping technique

Eminem has named several MCs who influenced his rapping style, in-addition to his mentor, Dr. Dre, who share the same type of music: thick, muscular loops that evoked the terror and paranoia that his music conjured,[129] these influences included Esham,[130] Kool G Rap,[131] Masta Ace,[132] Big Daddy Kane,[131] Newcleus,[132] Ice-T,[132] Mantronix,[132] Melle Mel (specifically the track "The Message"),[132] LL Cool J,[132] Beastie Boys,[132] Run-DMC,[132] Rakim,[132] and Boogie Down Productions.[132]

In the book How to Rap, Guerilla Black notes that Eminem studied other MCs to create his rapping technique -- "Eminem listened to everything and that's what made him one of the greats".[133] In the same book, Eminem is praised for various aspects of his rapping technique by numerous other MCs -- these techniques include: his varied and humorous subject matter,[134] connecting with his audience,[135] carrying a concept over a series of albums,[136] complex rhyme schemes,[137] his ability to bend words so that they rhyme,[138] his use of multisyllabic rhymes,[131] fitting many rhymes in each bar,[139] complex rhythms,[140] clear enunciation,[141] use of melody,[142] and syncopation.[143] He is also known to write the majority of his lyrics down on paper, as documented in his book The Way I Am, as well as taking a few days or a week to craft lyrics,[144] being a "workaholic",[145] and "stacking" vocals.[146] Featurings and productions

Although he typically collaborates with various rappers under Aftermath Entertainment and Shady Records, such as Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, D12, and Obie Trice, Eminem has collaborated with many other artists, including Redman, Kid Rock, DMX, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Method Man, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Sticky Fingaz, T.I. and others. Eminem rapped a verse in a live performance of Busta Rhymes' "Touch It" remix at the 2006 BET Music Awards on June 27, 2006. Eminem was featured on Akon's single "Smack That" which appeared on his album Konvicted. He was featured on Lil Wayne's hit song Drop the World.

Eminem is also an active rap producer. Besides being the executive producer of D12's first two albums, Devil's Night and D12 World, he has executive produced Obie Trice's Cheers and Second Round's on Me as well as 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre.[149] In addition, Eminem has produced songs by other famous rappers, such as Jadakiss' "Welcome To D-Block", Jay-Z's "Renegade" and "Moment of Clarity" Lloyd Banks' "On Fire", "Warrior Part 2", and "Hands Up", Tony Yayo's "Drama Setter", Trick-Trick's "Welcome 2 Detroit", and Xzibit's "My Name" and "Don't Approach Me".[150] Most of The Eminem Show was produced by Eminem himself, with co-production from longtime collaborator Jeff Bass.[151] He split the production with Dr. Dre on Encore. In 2004, Eminem was the Executive Producer of 2Pac's posthumous album Loyal to the Game with 2Pac's mother Afeni Shakur.[152] He produced the UK No. 1 single "Ghetto Gospel" which featured Elton John.[153] He has produced "The Cross" off Nas's album God's Son.[154] On August 15, 2006, Obie Trice released Second Round's on Me. Eminem produced 8 tracks on the album. He was featured in the song "There They Go".[155] Eminem produced some tracks on the new Trick-Trick album, The Villain. He is also featured in "Who Want It".[156]

With regard to the productions on his own records, Eminem is seen as having an unusual style in that rather than write to beats he typically starts with an idea of how he wants his song to be structured based on the lyrics and then creates music according to that.[157] A notable exception to this was the song "Stan", which came from an idea and scratch track produced by Mark the 45 King.[157]
