Freaking hell! It has been ages I got excited about a song
like the new Eminem song, Berzerk from his highly anticipated upcoming CD, The
Marshall Mathers LP 2. When I first listened to the song I could see The Beastie
Boys, RUN DMC and Public Enemy jamming to this addictive song. Eminem’s lyrical
flow in “Berzerk” is off the charts - he is shooting off his words as if he was
in a different time zone. The production focuses on a heavy beat and it
delivers big time to the listener. Berzerk samples the guitar riff of The
Stroke from Billy Squier. As expected, Eminem takes quick verbal jags at other
hip-hop stars like Birdman and Timbaland and he also makes fun of Kloe
Kardashian who he refers to as the ”the ugly Kardashian” , and of Lamar Odom’s alleged
problems with drugs. The video sees Eminem in front of a massive boombox and is
joined by friends like Kendrick Lamar,
Rick Rubin and Kid Rock. What I really liked about this song is that it's
breath of fresh air in the bland hip-hop music of today. Yes, the Em is back
in full force and he has gone totally berzerk by going back to his hip-hop roots.Word up!
