Eminem and Lyrical Lemonade's Cole Bennett form a Midwest connection to create Slim Shady's "Godzilla" video.
For this visual, Bennett plays with the title of the track by creating a video that is seeped in movie-like special effects. Like Em's rapid-fire flow and explosive punchlines, the video for "Godzilla" features all the frantic climaxes one can find in typical movies rolled into one music video. This results in a twisted sense of reality that mimics the classic nature of Eminem's alter ego, Slim Shady. Cole also showcases Eminem's otherworldly wordplay by making almost every clever metaphor come to life in a bizarre fashion.
The video is highlighted by a cameo from Mike Tyson who accidentally punches a drunk Eminem in a parking lot. This forces the legendary boxer to take Em to the hospital where the only doctor that matters, Dr. Dre, is in the emergency room trying to nurse Shady back to health.
"Godzilla" is the standout track from Em's latest album, Music to be Murdered By. Not only is it a fan favorite, but the chorus features the late Juice WRLD. Being two Chicagoland kids, Cole Bennett and Juice WRLD were great friends and creative partners. Bennett paid homage to his friend by ending the video with a special Juice WRLD tribute.
