Eminem New Album, Diss Tracks, Inspiration: 'White America' Rapper Reveals He Was Inspired by This Video Game's Intro Theme

Eminem blindsided hip-hop fans all over the world when he dropped his new album, “Kamikaze,” this weekend with no previous signs or marketing. The whole album is a polar opposite to his previous album “Recovery,” which Eminem himself addressed by saying he took an “L” when he made it.

Now, “Kamikaze” brings him back the old Eminem that people fell in love with and puts a lot of rage into his music. Several tracks are aimed at how hip-hop has devolved into the watered-down version of the culture that exists today.

Eminem particularly went after the rising trend of hip-hop artists sporting face tattoos and having similar flows. This is quite prominent in the track “Lucky You,” where he collaborated with Joyner Lucas to bring heat to the hip-hop scene.

Aside from addressing this front, Eminem also made a diss track for Machine Gun Kelly in his song “Not Alike.” The “Rap God” lyricist isn’t one to mince words as he went straight for the young rapper with scorching bars.

One particular Eminem line in that track that got fans fired up is “This bar is over your head so you better have arms if you want to pull up.” But Machine Gun Kelly responded with a diss track of his own, titled “Rap Devil.”

In it, the “Bad Things” singer addressed multiple fallouts of Eminem, focusing on his age and how the “White America” rapper is desperate to be relevant again. Following the release of the track, multiple people in the rap industry responded to it, including Bizarre, Eminem’s fellow artist in his D12 group. The veteran rapper warned MGK that there will be “repercussions” for the disrespect that he showed.

Apart from all the beef and seemingly rage-filled lyrics, Eminem also revealed he was inspired by the intro theme of “Kingdom Hearts” and used the soundtrack on his album, Metro reported. The rapper said the intro theme, titled "Simple and Clean," was “one of the dopest melodies he ever heard.”

As such, Eminem included it in the “Kamikaze” album but he did a lot of alterations in it to a point that he feels it’s a completely different tune. The track in question is "Good Guy," which can be found below. The whole album consists of 13 tracks, one of which will be included in the upcoming film “Venom,” starring Tom Hardy.
