"Potential:Then & Now" is a mixtape split in half from previously recorded songs from Jay-Cro Jay-Young'n. The title "Potential" came about because thats what Jay-Cro wanted to show the people and his audience what he had from his younger days and his current progression. This mixtape shows his growth as an emcee, and an up and coming artist
Quotable:
"There are other artists that have used the word "faggot" in their work. There are other artists who say certain things that have always been around. So why, then, when I say it is it any different?
Yeah, I have kinda always wondered that. Why is it different when I'm saying it? Let's say if I say something fucked up about Christopher Reeve, you know what I mean? Just something totally off-the-cuff. That's really fucked up, but how is it any different than what South Park is doing? Or Family Guy? I've always kinda felt, like, why am I special? Why am I that person who's always looked at and where the microscope comes out? I still, to this day, don't understand that. I guess it's just that I get a lot of attention, I don't know! It's very hard to say. I guess that maybe when I speak, I seem to draw the flies. [laughs]" -Eminem

On Proofs DeathOn T.I., Lil Wayne & Hip-Hop
“Everyone felt his loss, from his kids, to his wife, to everyone. But, for some reason, in hindsight, the way I felt was almost like it happened to just me…Maybe at the time I was a little bit selfish with it. I think it kind of hit me so hard. It just blindsided me. I just went into such a dark place that, with everything, the drugs, my thoughts, everything. And the more drugs I consumed, and it was all depressants I was taking, the more depressed I became, the more self-loathing I became…By the way, I’m just now at the point where I’m better talking about it. It took me so long to get out of that place where I couldn’t even speak about it without crying or wanting to cry…Proof was the anchor. He was everything to D12. And not just the group-for me, personally, he was everything.”
“I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any name, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more."
So as you can see, it doesn't look Eminem has a problem with Lil Wayne, contrary to popular belief, but I'm not sure how tension between 50 Cent and Lil Wayne will affect the possibilities Em and Weezy collabo in the future.
Sure Eminem and Royce are friends, but since Royce freely expressed his displeasure with Eminem current single: "We Made You", then one has to believe that Royce genuinely believes "Relapse" to be a great album. -
