Recently, Eminem’s younger brother, Nathan Kane Mathers referred to Eminem as “the best role model” he had when it came to deciding to have kids.
On the podcast Just a Little Shady, hosted by Hailie Jade Mathers, Eminem’s daughter, Nathan said, “He was the best role model I could have had to be the dad that I am today, I started getting into music at a very young age. As I got older and thought about wanting to do it as a career, I had learned from your dad, my brother, on how to do music and how to write formulas, compounds syllables, what not, and tested it out in the beginning, getting comfortable with my voice.”
Nathan continued to say, “I knew there was going to be a comparison. ‘Hey, how does he sound compared to his brother? Does he have the same formula? Does he have the syllables? Is he a battle rapper? Is he a freestyle? What can he do?…Is he on that level? Can he be above that?’ And it was never about that. It was more about just having fun and being able to be around music and do something that other people would enjoy.”
Nathan Kane Mathers’ is just the second guest to be on Just a Little Shady, the podcast Eminem’s daughter started last July.
