In a recent phone discussion with Loudwire, the three popular rockers discussed their admiration and respect for the "Rap God."

Araya considers Shady's talent unsurpassable:

"The person that's really impressive to me that can really put together something - Eminem... He can put together words and sounds and syllables and make it [work]. He's really good at that. He's really good at putting words together, making them work. That's a talent."

Muir then added:

"I have to say, when you mentioned Eminem, I have to say this: There's perceptions a lot of times, with him being the white dude doing rap, it's like, 'Ehhh.' You know what I mean? Someone was just talking the other day and had summed it up perfectly. They said that the difference with Eminem is like, he's actually legit at what he does, whereas Iggy Azalea or whatever, is just a straight rip. It's not that she's white, she's just straight ripping off, you know? That's the difference. Eminem came out and did his thing. I think actually it was probably a little bit difficult at first [because he's white]. Whenever you do things different, at first it's more difficult and then hopefully later on, people appreciate it."

As for Souza... he's not as big a fan. But Muir did get a signed Eminem poster for the "Blood In, Blood Out" rocker for his birthday:

"Do I have to lie and say yes? Let me tell you something, I love metal. If you were to get in my car right now, I've got the new live Kreator in there right now. I appreciate [Eminem], I think he's a great lyricist and he's an awesome performer for that type of music, but to be honest with you, I really don't listen to much of it. I love metal, I listen to metal."

The official Shady XV tracklist was released just a few days ago, but maybe an epic Slayer/Suicidal Tendencies/Exodus collaboration isn't totally out of the question now!

The latest single from Shady XV was just released online earlier this week - Slaughterhouse's "Y'All Already Know." Check out the new music video:
