Eminem world-premiered the "Rap God" video at 9AM Pacific Time on November 27th on VEVO. The controversial MMLP2 track, co-produced by DVLP and Fithy, shows us exactly how the rap god updated his operating system. Equal parts 1970s poverty and racial tension, 1980's media like Max Headroom, old school video games and comic book heroes, 1990's transhuman Neo from "The Matrix," undergound cyphers and black outlaw gangsta rappers, 2000's MMLP1 spiritual and social criticism and 2010s wearable technology. What do you think of the update? Would you download?

Here's the sneak preview for the "Rap God" video, where the real Slim Shady looks a lot like the real Max Headroom, the 1980s artificial intelligence character known for his wit and stuttering, distorted, electronically sampled voice. Only Em's head and shoulders are seen against a "computer-generated" backdrop of a slowly rotating wire-frame cube interior. The distinguishing sounds are chaotic speech patterns—as Em's voice pitches up and down and occasionally gets stuck in a robotic-sounding loop. Like the original, the Rap God's personality is interpreted best as a satire of egotistical media personalities (a/k/a talking heads) and their insincere, unqualified opinions. I feel like something's about to happen! Don't you?

Eminem breaks down his latest album, MMLP2, with BBC's Zane Lowe, explaining how and why he's chosen to update his overall operating system rather than create a sequel. MMLP2 fills in the gaps between his static and distinct personas, represented by his trilogy of albums that blew up the charts between 1999 and 2002, revealing a dynamic integrated perspective that rehashes old topics and adapts to new realities. It's about "growing up and growing down." Watch and enjoy!!
