Slim Shady Debuts 'Berzerk', First Single Off 'Marshall Mathers LP 2' [LISTEN]

Okay, now I'm geniunely excited. While other snippets of Eminem's new album Marshall Mathers LP 2 have been a bit underwhelming, "Berzerk" lives up to its name with a frenetic, Billy Squier-sampling beat, a genuine, Beasties-reminiscent scratching breakdown and, of course, a pissed off Slim Shady annhilating everything in his path.

Eminem teased the track at the VMAs on Sunday and wasted no time getting it out there. Check it out below:

 

Em kicks off the song with "Now this shit's about to kick off, this party looks wack/
Let's take it back to straight hip-hop and start it from scratch/I'm 'bout to bloody this track up, everybody get back/That's why my pen needs a pad cause my rhymes on the ra-hag" and only gets wilder from there, essentially telling his enemies to bow down while providing a history of hip-hop.

Other highlights include:

So sick I'm looking pale, well that's my pigment
'bout to go ham, ya bish, shout out to Kendrick
Let's bring it back to that vintage Slim, bitch!
The art of the MCing mixed with da Vinci and MC Ren
And I don't mean Stimpy's friend, bitch
Been public enemy since you thought PE was gym, bitch 

Eminem also fires shots at fellow Detroit artist Kid Rock:

So come get on this kids rock, baw wit da baw, bang bang

Yo I'm a huge fan of eminem but if his album sounds like berzerk then count me out bruh

P-p-p-pow pow chicka wow wow
Catch a cab, I wanna go down, br-bow-bow
Slow it down, throw in the towel, t-t-towel towel
Dumb it down, I don't know how, how, how, how 

Fans seem torn on Twitter:

Berzerk is an Eminem beastie boys mix! It's nasty!

I love Eminem. But Berzerk was hot garbage. I made it about 30 seconds in and lost interest. Finished it out of respect. SMMFH
