Eminem drops the video for “Godzilla”.
After giving us the teaser a few days ago, Eminem has finally released the official visual for his Juice WRLD assisted hit “Godzilla“. The hit track which also goes platinum last week, appeared on Eminem’s latest album “Music To Be Murdered By” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.
The high-budget video is directed by Cole Bennet, and it’s the second music video after “Darkness“, from Eminem’s latest project. The video also features cameos from Dr. Dre and Mike Tyson.
Marshall appears in the video getting drunk on “Godzilla” whiskey and experiencing various hallucinations inside a large warehouse store — think Walmart or Best Buy. He fights off an armed robber with a missile launcher, vomits up a pile of Lego bricks, gets a bl****b inside a slaughterhouse, and gets punched in the face by none other than Mike Tyson, who then shows up at his hospital bedside. A voiceover from Juice WRLD and a black-and-white tribute to him close out the video.
Juice Wrld’s appearance on the single was his first posthumous release since his death on December 8, 2019, after a sudden seizure caused by a narcotics overdose. Eminem’s third verse on the song is the quickest rap verse he’s ever done, clocking in at 10.65 syllables per second, or 300 words in 30 seconds. Eminem broke his own records by rapping 10.3 syllables per second in his appearance on Nicki Minaj and Labrinth’s 2018 single “Majesty” and 9.6 syllables per second in his 2013 song “Rap God.”
In the United States and Europe, “Godzilla” was a hit. It debuted at number one in Finland and on the UK and Irish Singles Charts, marking Eminem’s tenth and ninth number-one singles in the UK and Ireland, respectively, as well as Juice Wrld’s first posthumous and overall number-one hit in both countries. In Flanders, the Czech Republic, Hungary, New Zealand, and Slovakia, it came in second.
