But Hailie Jade isn't the only teenage girl Slim Shady has inspired. According to rapper Talib Kweli, his own daughter is infatuated with Eminem's lyrical prowess. The Black Star emcee took his daughter (now 14) to the BET Awards a few years ago when Shady performed his hit song, "Not Afraid." It definitely left an impression on her. In an exclusive interview with HipHopDX, Kweli reveals:

Eminem introduced my daughter to lyrics. When he performed ['Not Afraid'], she was like, 'Who is that, daddy?' I think she was like 10 or 11. I was like, 'That's Eminem.' She was like, 'That's one of the best rappers I've ever heard.' And she's been on some lyrical shit ever since then.

It was amazing to me to watch my daughter discover Eminem, and be into his lyrics. She immediately noticed a difference 'cause Eminem had kind of been missing from the scene for a couple years before then. She immediately noticed he can rap better than everybody. She was like, 'He was the best rapper on the floor tonight.' And I'm like, 'Wow. Okay. She recognizes it, too.'

Kweli was impressed with his daughter's interest, considering he's been a fan of Eminem for awhile now:

Eminem was in the Rawkus [Records] office. He was doing songs for Young Zee and the Outsidaz and them. He was jumping on beats. He was a hungry emcee...I've watched the legend of Eminem from the beginning. I used to walk around with a Slim Shady cassette in Detroit. I was shocked. Eminem was shocking to me. I was like, 'How is this White boy this nasty and this fuckin' rude at the same time?'

Eminem has been kind of ubiquitous for a long time. Even the albums that people claim they don't like, you still hear those songs everywhere. Like you'll still hear 'Love The Way You Lie' on the radio now. And people say they don't even like that album [2010's Recovery].

What do Mstars fans think about Shady's work holding so much power and influence over much of today's youth?
