content
Eminem raps in the song that, in the style of a kamikaze pilot, he will throw himself into anything and anyone who criticizes him. In the chorus he compares his last album Revival with his song Fack , which is considered by many fans as one of his worst works. In the second stanza, Eminem mentions Dr. Dre and compares him to the doctor from the novel Frankenstein . Dr. Dre made him just as Doctor Frankenstein made. Eminem also talks about the presumption that he only became famous because he was white. He counters this assumption by saying that other white rappers didn't sell as much as he did. However, Eminem also has some doubts: He does not know whether he will survive this kamikaze attack on the rapeseed scene.
production
The beat of the song was produced by music producer Tim Suby, with Eminem taking on the additional production. The song also contains interpolations of I'm Bad by rapper LL Cool J and Eminem's track Fack .
