It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was in high school, and Eminem was all the rage. His music was everywhere, he had a movie coming out, and every song he dropped seemed to be fire. I remember hearing ‘Wangsta’ blaring from car speakers after school, and not realizing that 50 Cent (the same guy who made ‘How To Rob’, one of my favorite tracks ever) was in cahoots with Em. However it does seem like a while ago since the last time I’ve heard one of their first collaborations, ‘Patiently Waiting’, until I start singing it, and I remember every single word. There was just something about that changed many peoples minds about this dynamic duo, and Complex Magazine thinks so as well. Below is a short “documentary” (Magnum Opus style) about the origins of this amazing song, and why the timing was so perfect. Check the method.
