It seems like all music genres are dipping their toes in country music these days including a big surprise: Eminem.
Just recently, the legendary rapper sampled Jelly Roll‘s hit single “Save Me” on the last track of his new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). Jelly Roll was unsurprisingly stunned that his “childhood hero” used his chorus. “I can’t believe I’m on Eminem’s album,” wrote the “Halfway to Hell” singer on X (formerly Twitter) following the new release.
Some excited fans of the “Need a Favor” singer weighed in.
“It was great man! Hope you guys perform the song live together,” commented one user.
“It’s Amazing, I love your voice and it’s a perfect fit with Eminem. Congratulations,” agreed another user.
Jelly also shared a pic with the controversial rapper documenting his excitement.
One notable quote from the post was the country star’s opening line, “I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem.”
Lots of the “I am Not Okay” singer’s fans weighed in.
“This song was so intense that it gave me goosebumps and how save me fit into the song so well,” gushed one excited fan.
“Wish SUPERSTARS would remember the struggle and work with us underdogs and not just other SUPERSTARS… most talk a good game then “MAKE IT” BIG then don’t help struggling artists especially that rep the culture!” added another fan of the country star.
Checkout the full track below. The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) released on July 12.
