Eminem is back with the third part of his interview with Sway.

Eminem constantly remains in the cut, especially when it comes to doing press. The rapper rarely does any sort of press unless he has a project coming out. The release of Kamikaze caught the world by surprise and there's no doubt that people had many questions about some of the things he said on the project. Over the past few days, the rapper's been answering a lot of questions through his interview with Sway. He's released it in parts and today, he releases the third part.

Yesterday, Eminem addressed everything that everyone wanted to know about his feud with Machine Gun Kelly and Joe Budden. The rapper broke down the unreleased Slaughterhouse album and his reaction to Joe Budden's comments on Revival. Additionally, he also got in-depth about where his feud with MGK came from. In the preview of part three of his interview, Eminem touched on Dr. Dre's input on Kamikaze.

"Dre's input was all over it." He revealed, "There's a couple songs that he kinda deaded them. Just because, he didn't have a good reaction to him and he felt like one of 'em was going a little far."

In part three, Eminem also speaks on working with Jessie Reyez, his BET Hip Hop Award cypher about Donald Trump, and much more.
