“Well, B.o.B. we actually have a publishing deal with. So I’ve been up on him for a while. But, he’s insane. Like, talent wise. He’s, like, 20 years old, and the dude, like, fuckin’ plays guitar, he plays keyboard, he writes raps. He’s not only good at writing songs in the sense of just raps, but hoks. He’s fucking’ insane. He can sing…I just worked with him a few weeks ago in the stuido, and I’m like, “Do you fuckin’ dance, too? Jesus Christ!”– Eminem, XXL, June 2009

control of me, I didn’t
even see it happening … just going further out there. Then you look
in the mirror one day and realize, ‘Wow, I don’t like what I see.’ I
knew I had to do something about it. I had a long run for, like, probably 10 years with no
vacation,” he explained. “I never went out. I was not the guy at the
club. I was almost scared of going to the club. All of a sudden, I
found myself working with certain artists from L.A. and hanging out in
L.A. and being introduced to a whole new lifestyle … and getting in
trouble with them…It wasn’t like an escape for me. It was more like I was having
so much fun and, for the first time being let out of the studio, it was
like the mad scientist on the loose,” he continued. “All of sudden,
pictures were snapping and I was famous and it went to my head, I
guess. I had to come back to earth…We all think we’re not going to get that point,” he said about
losing control. “It sneaks up on you real fast. … You don’t think
it’s affecting you, but it does. People probably didn’t enjoy talking
to me when I was high on cocaine, ’cause I had a friend of mine saying
[recently], ‘This is the first time I talked to you ever. You’re
focused on the conversation; you’re focused on everything you do.
You’re more methodical with your thinking.’ It’s serious.”
See kids, if you get hooked, it’s no one else’s fault. So don’t do it !

mixtape is gonna be so tough. It’s hosted by Diddy; it’s gonna be
crazy. Something special. You gonna have freestyles on there, original
records on there you never heard… Every record on here is brand
new. Everything was designed totally for this tape. The people are
gonna soak this up crazy. Puff is gonna be on there doing what he do,
screaming and hollering and banging for the project, because he’s
married to it. He likes what we’re doing. He said ‘I wanna be a part of
it. I like what you’re doing. I’m gonna host your joint for you.'”

Who knew you could do so much shit on an iPhone? In the clip, some genius developed an application that allows him to get his Grandwizard Theodore on. His vid is a response to this. Man, this is like that scene out of Juice—minus Pac’s trigger happy ass, of course.

It is interesting to look back at this discussion because the concerns about technology becoming a barrier to real communication have only become more noticeable over time. Messages are quick and convenient, yet they often cannot communicate tone, emotion, or intention as clearly as a real conversation. Technology itself is not necessarily the problem, but how we choose to use it matters. Even something as simple as a Basic Calculator shows how useful technology can be when it solves a practical problem without replacing meaningful human connections and conversations.
