The 9th track on Eminem’s 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), features East Atlanta rapper, JID who appeared in the music video for Eminem’s “Doomsday Pt. 2” earlier this year. Aptly titled “Fuel,” this high-octane collaboration between the two rappers serves as an assertion of their dominance in the rap game and their refusal to be silenced. JID sets the tone for the song with an opening verse that establishes his street credibility through references to the struggles and violence prevalent in his hometown. Eminem follows with a verse that taunts his critics and doubters, weaving in contemporary references such as the Kyle Rittenhouse case, Halyna Hutchins' accidental death on set by Alec Baldwin, and sexual assault allegations against Diddy, including his alleged involvement in the death of Tupac.
