Only three years ago, Lil Wayne was establishing himself as the hottest rapper in the game. Despite being the biggest name in the game, Wayne wanted to work with other big names. The number one rapper on his list was Eminem. Each time Wayne tried to reach out to Eminem, he was met with no reply.
After Tha Carter III went triple platinum, things changed for Weezy as Eminem returned his call. During the summer of 2009, Wayne was able to officially sign Drake and Drake was able to land a collaboration with Eminem. While "Forever" was Drake's song, it was the first to feature both Wayne and Eminem.
The first Lil Wayne/Eminem collaboration came earlier this year on the Rebirth album in the form of "Drop the World." The result was the biggest single off the album. Realizing the two have chemistry, Em decided to invite Wayne to record on his Recovery album. Currently, their single, "No Love," is heating up the radio waves. The song is heating up right as Lil Wayne is preparing to come out of prison.
Eminem is very excited to see Lil Wayne come out of prison. Having been caged up since March, Eminem is excited to see what Wayne will come up with. Even though he was behind bars, Lil Wayne came out with his ninth studio album, I Am Not a Human Being last month. Now that he is free and with Carter on the brain, Em hopes he can finally jump on one of Lil Wayne's Carter albums. Outside of his work with Lil Wayne, there is the possibility of a tour for Recovery.
As it currently stands, Eminem does have a few shows he is putting on. However, the Detroit rapper does not have any plans to put together a full tour. Because he has been steadily moving since he began the promotion for Relapse, Eminem will not push himself as much in between albums. Later this year, Eminem is rumored to be going back into the studio to record his eighth studio album.
