Today Eminem premiered the music video for his new single, “Berzerk,” which, true to the track’s retro-hip-hop style, pays homage to the Beastie Boys’s “So What’cha Want,” what with its fisheye-lens shots of Slim Shady donning a loose T-shirt and beanie. The clip also features footage from the music video for Billy Squier’s “The Stroke,” which “Berzerk” liberally samples, and cameos from producer Rick Rubin, Kid Rock, Kendrick Lamar, and Slaughterhouse. Alas, no sign of Kevin Federline.
“Berzerk” is the first single from The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which hits stores November 5th on Interscope.
