Eminem’s and White Gold‘s Raw Confession: “Habits” Delivers a Brutal Punch
Eminem, the rap titan with a penchant for both lyrical brilliance and unflinching self-examination, has once again laid bare his soul with the release of “Habits,” a haunting collaboration with the enigmatic White Gold.
This scorching track,unveiled as part of Em’s highly anticipated album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce),” is a sonic exploration of addiction, both in its literal and metaphorical forms. It’s a raw, unfiltered dive into the depths of the artist’s psyche, a place where shadows of the past intertwine with the demons of the present.
With “Habits,” Eminem reunites with White Gold, their creative chemistry igniting a firestorm of introspection and musicality. The track is a stark departure from the anthems that often define the genre, instead opting for a gritty, unflinching honesty that is both harrowing and cathartic.
Em’s signature wordplay is on full display, but this time, the rhymes are imbued with a raw vulnerability that is both shocking and undeniably compelling. As the song unfolds, listeners are drawn into a world of addiction, where lines blur between substance abuse and the intoxicating allure of fame and notoriety.
White Gold’s ethereal vocals provide a haunting counterpoint to Em’s visceral delivery,creating a sonic landscape that is as complex as the human mind it seeks to illuminate.
Quotable Lyrics:
B****, you ain’t about head (What?), about face (Woo)
Little white, middle-age, upper-middle-class
With a glass of wine and your cigarette
B****, get off the internet (Yeah)
You ain’t even fed your kids dinner yet (Haha, still)
Parental discretion, mental aggression, my head’s a Smith & Wesson
