Unlike the reports that Em was dodging Weezy, the two are actually fans of each other’s lyrical prowess.

Eminem’s a popular guy in hip-hop circles nowadays, with Rick Ross calling on Slim Shady to collaborate — or battle! — with him, and there’s been Lil Wayne’s constant request to work with the Detroit lyricist. Weezy has even said Eminem has been dodging him.

But when asked whether he’d work with Wayne by Shade 45’s Angela Yee on “The Morning After” Sirius satellite radio show on Thursday, Em said, “I would. There hasn’t really necessarily been a time for me to go to collaborate and sh– lately, because I been so locked down in the studio. But I’m open for whatever. There’s a lot of rappers in the game I respect, especially right now.”

Em went on to again cite Lil Wayne and T.I., as he did in his recent XXL magazine cover story, as rappers he respects. He also named Kanye West, saying he “likes [Kanye] a lot” as an artist.

The hip hop version of Ebony and Ivory sounds like a winner to us.
