Today, Eminem has released the official music video for his first single, “Berzerk,” off his latest album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
You can watch the video below, thanks to his official Vevo channel.
The old-school sound of “Berzerk” is met with an old-school looking Eminem, who is once again sporting his blond hair in the music video. The video also features clips of people going “berzerk,” beating eachother up, and getting into all kinds of mischief.
The music video itself is like a testament to the name of the song, with psychedelic colors painting the sky, shots of various people and things going in reverse, and a giant boom box that requires a ladder to reach the dial for the bass.
In the video we also see big names like Rick Rubin, who produced the song; Kendrick Lamar, who gets a shout out during one of the verses; Kid Rock, who he’s worked with before; and Royce da 5’9″, Eminem’s Bad Meets Evil collaborator.
“Berzerk” samples Billy Squier’s “The Stroke,” as well as a few Beastie Boys tracks from their License to Ill album, which was also produced by Rick Rubin. “Berzerk” is the first single off of the rapper’s latest album and debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Top 100 when it was released on August 27.
