WATCH: Eminem Freestyles For 11 Minutes Acapella
On the heels of the new film he produced, Bodied, Eminem ripped an ungodly 11-minute freestyle at The Shelter in Detroit, Michigan. The Shelter was featured in 8 Mile and was one of the places Eminem first cut his teeth in the world of battle rap.
He teased the freestyle on Twitter with the full video linked in his tweet. You can watch the new Eminem freestyle (titled “Kick Off”) in full below:
In terms of cadence and delivery, the freestyle is similar to the BET freestyle he did last October directed towards Donald Trump. Beats are nowhere to be found, it’s simply Eminem bending big ass words in a hoodie. While I’ll take “Killshot” over this type of battle rap every day of the week, it’s incredible to see him in his element. It’s almost like he’s mastered the craft in a way nobody has done before. Maybe he does sit at home and read the dictionary but you can’t argue that he’s on another level at this point in his career.
Bodied is currently available on YouTube Premium.
