“I wasn’t sure what exactly Grammy or Oscar meant, what certain awards meant, even the MTV ones. All of that, I just didn’t know what awards meant and this one (Oscar) in particular didn’t either. I didn’t know. I didn’t go to the show“I felt like I had a great chance of winning a snowball,” said the Missourian.

“Rap never rocked so well on anything. That was one of the reasons I didn’t go to the Grammy Awards that I was invited to. I didn’t understand why there was a rap category and a best album category, and I couldn’t understand why the rap album can’t be in the best album category.”he declared Eminem about his absence at the gala.
