Eminem teases “Fack 2”.
Celebrating the 20-year anniversary of his classic album, The Marshall Mathers LP, all week long, Eminem hosted a listening party along with a live chat with fans. During the live chat, Eminem reveals his favorite verse, his favorite song, the show he’s been watching in quarantine, favorite actors, favorite 50 cent album, favorite video game, favorite boxer, the most underrated rapper, favorite Avenger, and much more. Eminem also responds to a question about “Fack 2“.
Eminem’s announcement that a follow-up to “Fack” is in the works comes a little over a week after N.O.R.E. disclosed on Instagram that Em is ready for a hit-for-hit Verzuz war with DMX. On May 18, the Drink Champs podcast co-host shared an Instagram photo of himself and X playing Jenga, along with the statement, “This moment is so Legend !!! 3 minutes before this @therealswizzz CALLS X and says Eminem is down for that smoke and X SAY HE CAN GET BUT I STILL WANT JAY HAHA SO CLASSIC BEHIND THE SCENES SH*T SORRY IF I WASNT POST TO SAY NOTHING but I had to DMX VS SLIM SHADY??? What y’all think??? I’m riding wit the DOG!!!”
During the live chat, one of the users says “MAKE FACK 2,“. “Finally a good question, On it,” responds Eminem. Gen Z on the site have started listening to the lyrics to Eminem’s 2005 song ‘Fack,’ on Instagram reels and are surprised by what they are hearing.’Fack,’ while not one of the rapper’s great smashes, may be unfamiliar to many. Indeed, it’s so reductive that you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s an Eminem parody if you heard it.

Fack was released with his album Curtain Call. The album includes Eminem’s most successful tracks as well as four new songs, including a live version of “Stan” at the 43rd Grammy Awards with English singer and songwriter Elton John, as well as the songs “Fack,” “When I’m Gone,” and “Shake That” featuring Nate Dogg.
Eminem has six straight No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, extending his total to ten. The 15-time Grammy winner has also amassed a string of Hot 100 successes, including the No. 1 songs “The Monster” with Rihanna, “Crack a Bottle” featuring 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, and “Not Afraid.” His most recent latest album, Music to be Murdered By, arrived at the top of the Billboard 200 in January 2020 and produced the top five songs “Godzilla” starring Juice WRLD (No. 3).
