Diddy & Co. aren’t the only ones covering VIBE‘s 15th annual Juice Issue. Here are a few quotes from Eminem and Dr. Dre’s cover story. Issue on newsstands August 16th.

What was the best thing someone said about you? Was there ever a hot Eminem diss?
Um, no. [Laughs.] Nah, I’m kidding. Shit, there was a couple of lines Everlast said like, “You ain’t running up on me with no empty gun.” I know that there is a lot of shit that I would have said about me.

Do you think about  your own death?
Yeah, I do. A lot. I think about it a lot. I try not to think about it but I do and it creeps me the fuck out. It creeps me out  because they say that if I got to the hospital two hours later then I would be gone. I think about that a lot. When I lay in bed at night is when I think  about it the most. It creeps me out man.

What were your thoughts when you heard  that your 8 Mile co-star Brittany Murphy had passed?
It was crazy. It’s crazy. It’s crazy because at one point we were very close and she  was a really good person. It’s crazy when you see things not just with her but  just all these things that are happening in Hollywood with people in music,  with people in acting . . .

. . . famous people.
Famous  people. Famous people are overdosing at alarming rates and—that almost sounded like a commercial. Wow.

It sounded like a Sally Struthers  commercial. “Please give to this charity.”
Right. But they are. And  it’s one of those things man where you’re famous, doctors will kiss your ass  because they love the celebrity. “Oh, I can call up Eminem and get him on the phone right now. Oh, hi Marshall, how are you doing? Do you need that  [prescription]?” There are doctors that will give you certain things just because of who you are.
