''On the track "Infinite" (which is also the title of the album), a young Slim Shady rapped to a majestic, Jazz-styled instrumental and the melody in his voice was of a similar style to that of AZ's. Eminem had caught inspiration for that particular song from AZ's track "Rather Unique" which was featured on his debut album Doe or Die.
When asked if he ever heard the track, AZ said no, but did recall reading about it some time before.
"I know I read something in Vibe where he said that AZ and Nas influenced him," he stated. "And that was a good look. I appreciate that a whole lot."
The New York rapper, who is currently working on Doe or Die 2, also expressed his interest in receiving production from Eminem and possibly Dr. Dre, going back to their days with The Firm.
"Actually, I'm trying to get some production from him now as well. We've bumped heads. We have shook hands and saw each other before, but we never really politicked. Yeah, but I definitely need that production from him."
