Eminem drops music video for “GNAT”.
Out of nowhere, Eminem is back again with his Deluxe Version of the “Music To Be Murdered By” project. The new Eminem Album includes a song titled “GNAT” for which the Detroit rapper released the official video. The music video is directed by Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett who recently shot a music video in Detroit’s 8 Mile.
In the crazy and bizarre visual for “Gnat”, from his second surprise album of 2020, Music To Be Murdered By – Side B, Eminem is in typical Slim Shady form.
Em is dead serious about the epidemic in the Cole Bennett-directed video, which harkens back to some of the rapper’s most memorable, disturbingly fun-filled videos from the past.
Eminem moves between going around a clean room in a yellow hazmat suit battling bats and sitting at a table in his hospital gown with welts all over his face while watching an updated version of his iconic “The Real Slim Shady” video. Em bursts out of the gate with some topical bars that set the tone for this most awful of years, sporting a black beard and matching locks. “They say these bars are like COVID (Bars are like COVID)/ You get ’em right off the bat (You get ’em right off the bat),” he raps in the first verse.
Eminem falls down a rabbit hole with all the cleaning, making humorous references to President Trump and a very smart non-dig at veep Mike Pence (“Mic, pencil get killed/ If you’re hypersensitive/ I wasn’t referring the vice president, chill“). Along the way, he mentions Marilyn Monroe, stay-at-home orders, social distance, hydroxychloroquine, and, for old times’ sake, a dig at his mother for giving him “Valium like air.”
