No Favors

About this song

Big Sean and Eminem are both from Detroit, and while they have teamed up before, this was the first time Eminem featured on a Big Sean track. The song was not released as a single, but it debuted at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. Big Sean said in a Beats 1 interview with Zane Lowe that Eminem was the only person he heard who could be on the song.

What it's about

The song reinforces the idea that standing at the top of the rap game requires no help from anyone. Eminem also takes another shot at Donald Trump and targets media personality and Trump supporter Ann Coulter.
