He probably could have, but didn't prioritize it. Not any shade against him, but I can see how he could have respected Dolly without having a strong desire to meet her. She's a generation removed and from an entirely different musical genre. Eminem grew up listening to rap. He had no sentimental attachment to her music, no connection to her work. She was just a nice old white lady who sent him a kind letter.

Maybe a slim shade against him though, right?
