Just Blaze Speaks On Working With Eminem (Again)

Everyone is dying to know what’s the haps with Relapse 2. So once again, Mr. Smith is forced to address the hot topic at hand. Can he live?
“It’s a challenge for both of us in the sense we’ve never worked with each other before. We’ve both been in the business 10 plus years. We’re both very self-contained. He has his own production compound, and I have my situation with Bassline Studios in New York. Sometimes I’m like I need this [song] back in New York and he’s like I need it back in Detroit. It’s interesting because we’re both protective of the work and not wanting it to leak out. I’m in the same boat, because we both would lose money. Creatively it’s a good process. When it goes beyond a business arrangement, it always works out. I’ve had cases where people just want a beat because you’re Just Blaze. But here we are 2 people that are fans of each other’s work.”
Has anyone seen my Greatest Story Ever Told bootleg? Ha. Just playin’! This guy’s so secretive he’s the only one on the Internets who’s radio rips are fully respected. You better believe it.

Who are you and what have you done with Guru? Seriously, we go from the emotional rollercoaster ride of thinkin' we're gonna lose one of the game's greatest MCs to some sick pathetic soap opera involving a man of no blood or kin relation denying family members the right to see their loved one. Now yes Keith Elam may not wanna reconcile with folks he hasn't been on good terms with for the past seven years but that's his decision not yours. From the outside lookin' in, you seem really shady. And if Guru's nephew claim is true that you signed documents as Keith Elam's brother and your wife as his sister than that's just plain alarming. An abuse of power. Releasing statements to websites and official Twitter accounts in Guru's name when he doesn't appear to be able to speak on his own behalf is also misleading and completely wrong. Be clear: At this point the only thing relevant and important is the status of Guru's health. Nobody gives a fuck about you or 7 Grand. Guru's legacy is Gang Starr. DJ Premier and Guru made classics. You and Guru make crap. And you should get slapped for meddling in family business.
I'm not dissin' but you shoulda stayed missing. Everybody in the club get tipsy. Nobody in the club remember your name. Damn shame.
So they’re having difficulties?? Maybe they are both too over protective of the work!
AHHHH HIp Hop needs this!!
“Shady stay creative baby hold your head up don’t u let up
One bit on these motherfuckin suckers you a soldier get up
