Eminem’s bold prediction for Kendrick Lamar at the 2025 Grammys

Kendrick LamarThe eventful 2024 will continue into 2025 with a performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show and what is expected to be a big night at the Grammy Awards. The rapper is up for Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Not Like Us,” as well as Best Rap Song, among other categories.

Eminem I think it will be a clean sweep for Lamar.

“It’s very fierce competition. Kendrick’s gonna sweep that shit,” he said during SiriusXM’s “Shade 45” 20th anniversary special. “It will and it should.”

Eminem and Lamar are both nominated for Best Rap Performance, while GNX it probably would have been for best rap album, for example The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)but came out too late to be eligible.

Eminem previously appointed Kendrick “at the very, very top level of lyricists. Not just from this generation, but from all time.” Ed Sheeran also once impart a story about how Lamar impressed the “Lose Yourself” rapper:

“Eminem heard that Kendrick Lamar was the best rapper and invited him to the studio to bring him a song. He arrived and Kendrick came with all his mates and Eminem said, “I just want you to be in the studio, just you on your own and then my engineer will come in and record you doing this, but your mates aren’t allowed in . .’ Kendrick did it, wrote a sick verse and then everyone came in to listen to it. Eminem said he did it to test Kendrick because he thought he had a ghostwriter. Then he realized that he (Kendrick) didn’t claim to be the best then.”
