‘Curtain Call 2’: Eminem surprises fans with ‘Rap God’ remix and new single with 50 Cent, Dr Dre
Eminem, as promised, dropped his second greatest hits album called ‘Curtain Call 2’ on Friday, August 5. The rap heavyweight’s new project was supposed to include some of his greatest hits post-2007 ‘Relapse’ and yet he managed to surprise his fans with two new singles and an unreleased music video.
The 49-year-old rap icon unlocked a music video of previously released ‘Crack a Bottle’. An unreleased song from 2009 with his close friend, 50 Cent, called ‘Is This Love’ was also released on leading streaming platforms. The track has been produced by Eminem’s mentor cum friend Dr Dre along with Trevor Lawrence Jr and Mark Batson. If this was not enough, the Detroit native also dropped a remix to his award-winning song ‘Rap God’. This quickly sent the hip-hop fans into a frenzy as they flocked to Twitter to speak about the same.

In the song, Eminem raps, “Let me be your vibrator (Get it?)/ Your body's slammin' like André the Giant/ Two wrongs make a right/ Let me take you by the arm, I'm alligator-like (Bite her off)/ Gal, I waited all my life for you, heart is racin' like Talladega Nights/ Sick minds think alike, girl, you got me singin', like.”
Apart from Beyonce, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg, the new compilation album saw artists like P!nk, late Juice Wrld, Kehlani, Dr Dre, Ed Sheeran, Lil Wayne, CeeLo Green, Gwen Stefani, Yelawolf, Nate Russ, and Joyner Lucas.
