When Eminem was asked who his favorite rappers are, he included two of his Slaughterhouse bros, KXNG Crook and Royce da 5’9, on a list that included 2Pac, JAY-Z, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, LL Cool J and more.
Nobody would have expected him to include Joe Budden, who doesn't always say very nice things about Shady. But some folks were surprised that Em didn't hype up fourth Slaughterhouse member Joell Ortiz.
Ortiz pushed back on that on Twitter.
Please stop telling me that Eminem left me off his G.O.A.T rappers list. That man is 100% entitled to his opinion. That’s one hell of a list! If I constructed a list, he’d be on mine alongside a few of those gentlemen on his list. Love is love. #yaowa

List or no list, Eminem obviously rates Ortiz highly. The Brooklyn spitter scored a feature on Em's last album, Music To Be Murdered By.
