He’s one of the biggest selling hip-hop artists of all time, and one of the most decorated.
No, I’m not joking.Įminem wasn’t always a caricature that churned out stinkers like Kamikaze. Fifteen years ago, Em didn’t take so kindly to this type of thing, getting into a ridiculous beef with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. To Em’s credit, he at least has a sense of humor about D’Elia’s impression, even tweeting out the comedian’s recent parody of the rapper’s labored 10-minute “freestyle” session. The project is 45 minutes of Em railing against everyone who didn’t like his previous album, the equally unlistenable Revival (2017). They’re certainly preferable to Kamikaze, his most recent anger-fueled album that he released in early fall 2018. Minute-long viral videos by D’Elia have been the most interesting thing about Eminem as an artist over the past few years. This is Marshall “Eminem” Mathers now, for all intents and purposes. Made up of equal parts unintelligible growling and spittle, a few phrases can be deciphered, such as, “You’re in a Ford Taurus getting an abortion and divorce at the same time as Harrison Ford!” Then there’s the coup de grace, “YOU’RE USING TOO MANY NAPKINS! BAPKINS! LAPKINS! YOU’RE USING CHAPSTICK AND NAPKINS WHILE I’M PAPKIN! FLAPPING AROUND LIKE A BAPKIN!” Comedian Chris D’Elia sits in his car and does the best Eminem impression ever captured on video. The video is slightly over a minute long. Happy 20th Anniversary to Eminem’s second studio album & major-label debut The Slim Shady LP, originally released February 23, 1999.
