What else is new with the sampling...they don't give credit to the people they're taking it from leaving a lot of rap fans thinking it's their creativeness and it's NOT. I do not see like oh how nice two different genres coming and working together yes it is...as long as long as due is given where it's deserved. See these guys are not musicians ,don't play instruments so have to take from the people that do. ...

Like me for example I can write good lyric, but I can't rap and I can't make good music. If having good lyrics was the only thing that mattered, i'd be a musician. But instead i'm a dancer because I can appreciate art and music in other forms. I can also ghost write for someone that can rap so if anyone needs a ghost writer lemme know

Slim Shady is back! The beat and chorus is a sampling of the pop song Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band from 1982. Really nice flip. Cacti is the plural form of cactus. Also cutting it short to fit the rhyme scheme. "the kidnappin never did happen like Sherri Panini" - Sherri Panini faked/staged her own kidnapping in up in northern California back in 2016. The name of the comedian at the end is Pete Davidson.

I love how Eminem raps in layers. You get into the song initially which is like the beat and initial shock layer. But there's also all the relevance to current times layers where he name drops/insults. There's the comedy layers too. And there's the layers that are sheer power and word play. Those bring you back into the song time after time to check for the things you missed before.
