The King & I
Eminem & Cee-Lo
Eminem and Elvis have a lot in common…
Elvis was accused of stealing black people’s music and making it more stomachable for white people (I want to make it clear, I wasn’t the one accusing him of this… I wasn’t born when Elvis was popping). Some accuse Eminem of the same thing. Regardless of what people think, I think it would be foolish to not call both of them legends. Today, Eminem decided to release “The King & I,” a track in which he talks about some additional similarities that he shares with Elvis.
“The King & I,” which also features Cee-Lo Green, has some vibrant energy. Between Cee-Lo’s boisterous vocals, the exuberant production, and Eminem’s heart-pumping deliveries, this song will get you hyped as hell. As for lyrically, I absolutely love how Eminem comes across as everything from a rebel to a trailer park legend to a competitive MC. The one thing in this song that I can probably do without is Eminem’s cheesy punchlines (S**t, he even uses Velveta in one of his punchlines).
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
