The rapper faced off with his alter ego in a video released alongside his cover story for ‘Complex’
Marshall Mathers recently reunited with his alter ego.
In a cover story for Complex on July 30, Eminem’s Marshall Mathers and an A.I. version of his alter-ego, Slim Shady, had a war of words in a video interview titled Slim Shady vs. Marshall Mathers: The Face-Off, where the latter told Mathers that he isn’t “Taylor Swift.”
After Shady declared he’d “been sent from the past to save our career,” Mathers, 51, said after selling “like a billion albums” that he thinks he’s “doing pretty f—ing fine.”
“We sold all that s— off my back, bitch,” Shady — sporting bleached blond hair and a signature white T-shirt — told Mathers. “Don’t get it twisted. If it wasn’t for me, you’d still be wearing that same damn Nike air hat.”
He continued: “You’re not f—ing Taylor Swift. You had one era that mattered, mine. Everything that people think of when they think of Eminem is f—ing yours truly. From the blond hair, to the middle finger, to the f—ing jokes, all of it — me.”
Shady then insulted his later years saying the music Eminem has been releasing since he left “ain’t it.”
“Like, for real? When I heard your last s—, I thought that s— was f—ing A.I.,” Shady said.
“So a computer could write ‘Rap God?'” Mathers asked his alter ego, who then replied that “no one gives a f— about your lyrical miracles.”
