Detroit rapper Eminem's currently on a mini-tour of Europe with the Odd Future gang - including fellow emcees Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt. The tour seems to be going extremely well, but there's just one problem... Sweatshirt's debut studio album "Doris" was just released on August 20, and he wasn't around to enjoy it! The "Burgundy" rapper insists that he's a "big-a$$ Eminem fan," but he wanted to be home lounging around on the couch when the new record hit stores! Check out the full MTV News interview below for more deets...
Slim Shady's opening act Earl Sweatshirt explains:
"I met [Shady] at Coachella and part of me is excited just because it's Eminem, but I'm gonna be there [in Europe] when the album comes out, so I'm pretty bummed... I would so much rather be at home when the album comes out."
And what exactly would he rather be doing? "I would sit on my couch," Sweatshirt says. How exciting!
The 19-year-old rapper isn't disappointed to be touring with Eminem, of course. He just didn't expect this big "turn of events" after waiting so long for the "Doris" release.
"I'm a big-a$$ Eminem fan, it's just crazy that this is how this unfolded... So I guess it's cool - I mean, I'm not now, but like probably at around 6 p.m. on that day I'll start getting really excited."
Sweatshirt goes on to explain:
"If [Em] says something about the album on that day then I'll be like aiiight fo' sho, but if it's just a show and we leave with f#cking pissy Tyler and go back to the hotel and just like f#ck ourselves for the rest of the night, then I'ma be really hot... If I don't have an amazing day that day, then I'ma be pretty mad."
Wonder how it went down? Hopefully Eminem did something special!
