Eminem said his new freestyle rap was inspired by the satire film Bodied that focuses on the world of battle rap. When his new movie Bodied was set to release, he generously booked out the entire cinema so anyone could come and watch it for free.
The freestyle rap launches with some pretty aggressive lyrics about how rap battles aren’t meant to be simply won. Instead, the goal is to completely obliterate the opponent and have the fans strongly backing your lyrics.
The world of freestyle and rap battle has always been something that Eminem made a core of his career. Hips story of how he came to find fame through the world of underground rap battle moved millions in his 8-Mile Soundtrack film. The story is true to his actual upbringing. Eminem grew up in an absolutely abysmally poor neighborhood in the trailer parks of inner-city Detroit.
He worked incredible hours and overcame extreme adversity to gain the fame and success he has seen. After decades of success, Eminem’s latest Kick Off freestyle shows that he certainly hasn’t lost his edge in the world of rap battle. He also proved that he hasn’t strayed from his Detroit roots and certainly doesn’t plan to do so.
Eminem said that he felt inspired and nostalgic after the release of Bodied. He decided to return to his old stomping grounds in Detroit and launch the freestyle. In true Eminem form, nothing was off limits.
He didn’t shy away from making aggressive references centralized around current events. He brought up Ariana Grande's Manchester concert and touched on the issue of suicide bombings becoming more prevalent.
He also touched on major names ranging from Reese Witherspoon to Justin Bieber, where he calls Bieber a schoolboy that turned into a drug dealer.
The latest freestyle from Eminem touched on some pretty serious subjects, but Eminem isn't anything if not controversial. It seems that nothing is off limits these days. What do you think of Eminem? We would love to hear your opinion! Pass this along to a fan of his you know!
