Hop, Eminem, Royce da 5’9”, D12, Emiway Beef & More — Full Interview

In this full, in-depth interview, Lazarus (also known as Dr. Khan) sits down to tell his story from start to finish. A Detroit-born rapper and practicing medical doctor, Lazarus opens up about his journey through hip-hop, medicine, identity, and controversy. He breaks down the real story behind his conflict with Emiway Bantai, explaining what happened behind the scenes, why the DTA album never materialized, and the backlash surrounding his diss record. Lazarus reflects on growing up as a first-generation Pakistani-American in Detroit, navigating family pressure, racism, and being labeled a terrorist in the aftermath of 9/11 — moments that nearly ended his rap career before it began. The conversation dives deep into Detroit hip-hop history, including Eminem’s impact on the city, his long-standing relationship with D12, opening for G-Unit, and collaborations with legends like Royce da 5’9”, Rakim, Ghostface Killah, Redman, Locksmith, KXNG Crooked, and Wu-Tang Clan. Lazarus also shares stories from his battle rap roots, including radio battles, judging from Proof and Swifty McVay, and even battling his anatomy professor while in medical school. Beyond music, Lazarus discusses working on the pandemic frontlines as a physician, becoming hip-hop’s go-to doctor, collaborating with NASA on the first song ever premiered in space, creating a WWE anthem for Jinder Mahal, and being praised by Chuck D as “possibly the most relevant MC.” This interview is a powerful look at culture, politics, race, resilience, and what it means to balance saving lives while making history in hip-hop. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMNIwa6NF_wMMDsAXfI4WNg?sub_confirmation=1 -------------------------- Disclaimer: The primary purpose of PANDA CHOP!
