Eminem had a hilarious back and forth with Stephen Colbert on a public access channel in Monroe, Detroit.

The comedian feigned ignorance on Em's success as a rapper and asked what his back-up plan was if his rap career didn't take off. The "Lose Yourself" rapper seemed a little miffed at the question and then updated Colbert on the millions of albums he's sold over the years.

During the conversation the two also spoke about Em's new song on the Southpaw soundtrack, "Phenomenal." He talked to Colbert about the meaning, saying, "If I go to these lengths and these extremes and however, if I keep trying, my perseverance is gonna turn me into something other than human, an animal."

Check out the full interview, starting at the 22:00 mark.
