Quavo Named His Three Favorite Eminem Songs on DJ Whoo Kid's Show. Then Whoo Kid Pitched Him a Collab on Camera.

No album, no studio session, no features list. Just three songs named without hesitation, and a yes to a question nobody had asked him before.

Quavo sat down with DJ Whoo Kid for an interview posted Saturday, October 4, titled "Quavo Speaks On Eminem's Influence In Hip-Hop, Viral Meme With Takeoff, New Music & More." Partway through, Whoo Kid asked him to name his favorite Eminem songs. Quavo did not pause to think about it, according to eminem.news, which first reported the exchange.

DJ Whoo Kid's full sit-down with Quavo. We verified the video through YouTube's own listing: DJ WHOO KID's channel, that exact title, posted today.

The three songs

As quoted by eminem.news, Quavo's answer ran like this:

Quavo: "I like 'Stan.' The one with him and Dre, where they shot the crazy video. 'Guilty Conscience.' And 'The Real Slim Shady.'"

Read closely, that is three songs, not two: "Stan," from the Marshall Mathers LP in 2000, a song with its own famously unsettling video; "Guilty Conscience," the 1999 Eminem and Dr. Dre team-up from The Slim Shady LP, which is the one that actually has Dre in the video and in the booth; and "The Real Slim Shady," the Marshall Mathers LP single. The "him and Dre" and "crazy video" description lines up with "Guilty Conscience" specifically, not "Stan," which is a two-hander between Eminem and a sampled Dido rather than a Dre collaboration. We have not independently pulled the closed captions ourselves, so we are attributing the quote as reported rather than claiming our own transcript, but the three song titles track with real, existing records and a real Dre feature, which is the part that matters.

Three artists getting asked to name favorite Eminem tracks inside the same month is becoming its own small pattern. Rapsody and Busta Rhymes went through the same exercise in September, and both landed on different answers than Quavo did, which says something about how wide the catalog's reach actually is twenty-plus years in.

Then came the pitch

The more notable moment, per eminem.news, came right after. Whoo Kid floated a theoretical Quavo and Eminem record, and Quavo did not deflect.

Quavo: "Let's do it. We can kill it."

That is a yes to a question asked on a podcast, not an announcement. There is no beat, no studio date, no label statement from Shady Records or Quality Control, and nothing from Eminem's camp acknowledging the clip at all as of this writing. Treat it the way you would treat any artist saying "let's do it" to an interviewer's suggestion: real interest, zero commitment.

Unlikely pairings landing anyway is not new territory for Eminem's camp. The MrBeast crossover talk never got past the hypothetical stage, but on the other end, MAJ turned up on "These Demons" from The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) in 2024 with effectively no advance notice, a pairing eminem.news pointed to as precedent for exactly this kind of podcast tease turning real. Quavo and Eminem have no prior recorded history together; the closest either camp comes to this pairing is Eminem and Dr. Dre's own catalog, the "Guilty Conscience" and "Forgot About Dre" lineage Quavo name-checked without being asked to.

What else was in the interview

The video's own title promises more ground than the Eminem segment: a "viral meme with Takeoff" and "new music" are both billed up front. Quavo has a solo album, QRÖMELIFE, that he has been promoting in press this week, including an NPR sit-down published the same day as the Whoo Kid interview, so the "new music" portion is almost certainly tied to that rollout rather than anything Eminem-adjacent. We were not able to pull the full transcript of the Takeoff segment to summarize it responsibly, so we are leaving it out rather than guessing at what was actually said.

Whoo Kid's own history with Eminem's camp runs back more than two decades, through Shade 45 and a long run of mixtapes with the Shady roster, which is part of why a casual "let's do it" in his chair tends to travel further than the same line said somewhere else. It is also why eminem.news treated the clip as worth a headline on its own: the host asking the question has enough standing with that camp that the answer is not nothing, even if it is not a confirmed record either.

What we could not verify

We confirmed the video exists, under that title, on DJ Whoo Kid's channel, posted today, through YouTube's own oEmbed listing. We did not independently transcribe the audio ourselves, so the quotes above are attributed to eminem.news's reporting rather than claimed as our own verification. We found no statement from Eminem, Shady Records, Quality Control or Quavo's own camp confirming any actual session, beat, or timeline beyond the "let's do it" exchange itself. Until one of those camps says more, this is an interview answer, not a collaboration.
