Your support makes all the difference.Last year, Eminem released his ninth studio album, Revival, featuring tracks with Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, and Alicia Keys.
Despite the celebrated guests, the majority of critics were particularly harsh about the rapper’s Trump-bashing effort.
Marshall Mathers has seemingly taken the criticism to heart, posting a remix of Revival tack “Chloraseptic,” featuring some stinging barbs aimed at those who disliked the album and the Beyoncé-featuring track and lead single ‘Walk on Water’.
During his verse, Eminem mocks those comparing him to Macklemore: “Rap mature, why can't you be like Macklemore? / Why you always gotta smack a whore?”
Featuring 2 Chains and Phresher, the track has been uploaded to Spotify which you can listen to below.
One particularly ferocious part goes:
Not as raw as I was, ’Walk On Water’ sucked?
B***h, suck my dick
Y’all saw the tracklist and had a fit ‘fore you heard it
So you formed your verdict
While you sat with your arms crossed
Did your little reaction videos and talked over songs
Nah dog, y’all saying I lost it, your f**king marbles are gone.
Eminem later goes:
You just called my s**t trash
Thank God, I rap better when the odds are stacked
Revival's wack, I don't like the 'Zombie' track
Or when he's talkin' that garbage psychotic crap
Where's your content at? What's with all the conscious rap?
P!nk, Beyoncé this and Kehlani that
I just added to the fuel in my rocket pack
