Under the video on his website, there are links to a number of organisations against gun violence. This week, the news broke that there would be a new track from Skylar Grey that featured Polo G, Mozzy, and Eminem. The video ends with countless televisions showing news bulletins about various mass shootings across America, with the screen reading: ‘When will this end? When enough people care.’Įminem then urges Americans to register to vote to change gun laws. The video sees a man taking a number of prescription drugs in a hotel room in Las Vegas, before taking out a machine gun and firing it out the window at the attendees of a country concert.Īs police surround the hotel room, the man shoots himself in the head, with a news bulletin explaining the horrific news.

Mumble-rap comes in for another kicking on Favorite Bitch, 90s hip-hop is hymned, there’s a jab at rappers who use ghostwriters – daring, given the guest appearance from Dr Dre, the most famous user of ghostwriters in the business.

Other than that, it’s been business as usual.Īnd it’s business as usual here: it takes 52 seconds to reach the first lyrics about assaulting a woman and three minutes to reach the first about murdering her, complete with sound effects.

In fact, AC/DC are an apposite comparison.
There’s an argument that getting upset because Eminem has said something appalling on his new album is like getting upset because the new AC/DC album features a man dressed as a schoolboy playing guitar: it’s rather the point. Eminem’s response is a classic sorry-not-sorry: “I know nothing about the Manchester bombing is funny,” he offers on Favorite Bitch, before making a joke about the Boston marathon bombing.
