Very cool, Coolio! I wonder how Eminem feels today. He initially gave Weird Al permission to do a music video for his parody of Lose Yourself, titled Couch Potato, but changed his mind just before Weird Al was finished filming it. Weird Al released a faked interview where he asks questions and Eminem's responses are clips of him from other interviews. It mostly centers around how much of a strong supporter of artistic expression he is and how he's against censorship of artists.

The fake interview wasn't unique to Eminem. He's been doing that since the 80s.

Here's all of them in order, starting with the first Al TV MTV special in 1984.

24 years old at the time and it feels like he has barely aged since.

Laughter is the best medicine, I guess.
