On November 14, legendary musician and songwriter Mariah Carey stopped by Genius for the latest installment of ‘Genius Level,’ our live conversation series with icons of the music business, including influential artists, songwriters, producers, and executives. During the conversation with Genius’ Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman, the 2019 Songwriters Hall of Fame nominee delivered a retrospective on her career just a few days before the release of her 15th studio album, ‘Caution.’

Mariah shared her reaction to Drake’s sample of an obscure version of her 1991 song, “Emotions,” for his Scorpion track, “Emotionless.”

“I heard it over the phone at first, and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m sure they’re gonna speed it up,’” she said. “They ended up using pretty much all of it. I was like, ‘Okay, well, I’m so glad they liked it.’ I was very flattered by it.”

If she were to return the favor, Mariah said that she would want to build a song around Drake’s Meek Mill diss, “Back to Back.”
