#DearSlim did you recommend 50 for his role in southpaw? — #DearSlim (@i_love_eminem96) July 24, 2015
Em: @i_love_eminem96 The director Antoine Fuqua actually put 50 in the movie. I think he killed it. #Southpaw
Who is the best boxer in the sport at the moment? And who is your all time favourite boxer and why? #DearSlim @eminem @rosenberg

Em: @ShadyLadyT My all time favorite is a toss up between Roy Jones Jr, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Mayweather #Southpaw
@Eminem #DearSlim is Ken Kaniff still alive? do you know if he went to the Southpaw premiere? — Nana McLovin (@ElyB16) July 23, 2015
Em: @ElyB16 Yes. Ken Kaniff is always in me. Pause.
#DearSlim – How did you approach “Phenomenon” as the title track, given the success of “Lose Yourself”? #SOUTHPAW https://t.co/tbdDOrvGr0

Em: @HipHopDX Phenomenal is different from Lose Yourself. Its just grit and determination.
In Phenomenal’s video you fight literally, almost it looks like a movie, in the future you see yourself as a semi-actor? #DearSlim — Simone Salerno (@SalernoSimo) July 24, 2015
Em: @SalernoSimo Maybe I am a semi-actor? It’s fun for a small parts but my real passion is music. So we’ll see… #Southpaw
@Eminem Can you compare yourself with the main character of #Southpaw? #DearSlim

Em: @EminemJournal There’s definitely parallels between me and Billy Hope in Southpaw. Suffering a major personal loss and having to fight back is probably the closest comparison.
