You have <em>Get Rich or Die Tryin\u2019<\/em>, <em>Documentary<\/em> \u2013 Game or <em>The Marshall Mathers LP<\/em>. Those three, I could put them on in any scenario. <em>2001<\/em> \u2013 Dr. Dre is another one.<\/p>\n<p>Keoghan also said his pick was 50 Cent\u2019s <em>Get Rich or Die Tryin\u2019<\/em> which lead Sheeran to say: \u201cI was listening to that weirdly with my dad the other day. We were in Italy. I was topless with a beer in my hand, explaining to him how great \u2018If I Can\u2019t\u2019 was because it\u2019s not a full eight bar chorus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"optanon-category-C0003\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9; width:100%; height:auto; display:block;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/VATApY7E2DM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The two also explained that their favorite rappers were British MC\u2019s such as Skepta, Dave, Wretch 32 and Stormzy.<\/p>\n<p>Sheeran has previously extolled the virtues of Eminem\u2019s music and <a class=\"underline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/eminem-ed-sheeran-stutter\/\">how it helped him overcome a stuttering problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He said to Howard Stern: \u201c[My uncle] just said to my dad, \u2018This guy is the next Bob Dylan. You gotta let him listen,\u2019 And by learning that record \u2013 and rapping it back to back to back to back \u2013 it cured my stutter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cI think it\u2019s different with Eminem because he is quite reclusive, doesn\u2019t see or meet that many people. I\u2019ve known him now [for] six years and we\u2019ve done three songs together, I\u2019ve played with him twice onstage. He\u2019s another person I really relate to, as he lives in his hometown still and has his eco-system around him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>50 Cent is also a fan of the British singer and <a class=\"underline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/50-cent-ed-sheeran-in-da-club-cover-reaction\/\">praised his acoustic guitar cover of \u201cIn Da Club\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Queens, New York legend gave his stamp of approval to the guitar-driven rendition of his party-starting tune by reposting a video of Sheeran\u2019s performance to his Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEd Sheeran right now in LA at the John Mayer concert Killing shit !
