Eminem and Lil Wayne have admitted they have to search their own lyrics online to avoid accidentally repeating them in their new material.
The two rappers were speaking during the most recent episode of Wayne’s Beats 1 showYoung Money Radio when they realised they both had the same habit.
Eminem said artists like himself “start getting to the point where you rapped about everything, you rhymed every word there is to rhyme”.
Wayne then confessed: “I literally have to Google my lyrics to make sure I didn’t say certain stuff.”
To which Eminem replied: “Oh my god. I swear to god, I do that too.”
Wayne added: “Soon as you go to my Safari, it’s gonna be ‘Lil Wayne lyrics.'”
Eminem also said he has been working on new music during lockdown. “I’m writing and recording a little bit, not as much as I normally do, but it’s all good,” he said.
The artist recently said he was taking well to coronavirus lockdown, after comparing it to being famous.
“Fame has definitely over the years kinda already had me quarantined,” he said during another radio interview.
