Eminem Blown Away By Lil Wayne's Wordplay on New Song: Why Didn't I Think of That?

Lil Wayne recently hopped on YG and Tyga‘s "Brand New," which is featured on YG and Tyga’s new collaborative album Hit Me When U Leave the Klub: The Playlist.

The song caught the attention of Eminem, who was blown away by Wayne's wordplay on the song, where he raps, "Yeah, brand new money, brand new hundreds/Got a bunch of zeros like a bag of new Funyuns." 

Eminem reacted to the verse on Twitter, writing, "Bro Wayne just said 'got a bunch of zeros like a bag of new funyuns!!' F*** why didn’t I think of that????" 

Lil Wayne has spoken about his admiration for Eminem over the years, including in an interview with the New York Times in July. During the sit-down, Wayne spoke about working with Em on "Drop the World." 

Wayne explained, "I was scared, actually, when I called Eminem for a song. That is a monster. He must have the same thing I have with words. Like, we can’t get them out of our heads. Every meaning, every aspect of them. Things that rhyme, we hear it. I already know the gift and the curse that he has. And I love to hear the way he puts it together."
