As promised, Eminem has delivered a proper visual for the Music To Be Murdered By track “Godzilla” featuring the late Juice Wrld. Directed by Cole Bennett, the visual begins with Shady drinking some “Godzilla Whiskey” as he raps about how alcohol can turn him into a monster.
Most Em fans know Shady has been sober for nearly 12 years, so it’s easy to come to the conclusion the scene is a metaphor for what addiction can do to a person.
From there, Shady’s face is transposed to other people’s bodies as the real Shady continues to slam all kinds of liquor and stumble all over the place.
Toward the end of the visual, Em gets punched in the face by Mike Tyson who promptly delivers an apology. Nevertheless, he must then go the hospital where Dr. Dre is playing — yep! — a doctor alongside another Eminem clone.
The video includes a heartfelt tribute to Juice Wrld who passed away in December 2019 at the age of 21.
Watch it above.

Eminem unleashed a lyric video for “Godzilla” earlier this week, but it turns out he has more plans for the standout Music To Be Murdered By track.
On Friday (March 6), Slim Shady announced a proper visual for the track would arrive on Monday (March 9) at 3 p.m. EST and revealed director Cole Bennett was behind the lens.
“Look what I’m plannin…@LyricalLemonade @YouTube live chat Monday 2pm ET,” he wrote in the caption. “Video premiere at 3pm ET #Godzilla.”
The post came with a 16-second clip of the video, which shows Shady breathing fire and fighting off various monsters.
“Godzilla” spawned the #GodzillaChallenge on social media last month. Since then, countless aspiring rappers — and some of Em’s peers — have stepped up in an attempt to beat or at least tie the 224 words Shady spits in 31 seconds as part of his verse.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony MC Bizzy Bone and the inimitable Biz Markie both had different takes on it. Meanwhile, Twista said he’s accepted the challenge but has yet to release a video.
Awesome, I love seeing Cole Bennett get more recognition.
LyricalLemonade!!
Love the album em!
Man, emimen is really trying to make this the next “rap god” lol.
Fuck this washed up old has been. Nobody gives a fuck, not even me when i was commenting this.
Ur obviously a racist black man
The only ones worse than the shady Stan’s, are his old fans turn haters. They are so fucking bitter that they come of cringy salty desperate assholes lol
i didnt give a fucc either when i came in ya mums saucy pussy 30 plus years ago and u were born……u the only kid i was a deadbeat to..now blog that
Yeah, no one cares… That’s why streaming records are still being broken.. Definition of a hater.
Mathers who? Only Marshall i know is Marshall Bravestarr.
I still own Bravestarr on DVD. My son loves it
True. He has been killing the game for decades and still is. Better to be a has been than a never was!
Hes still a guest in hip hop. We as black people as a whole need to ignore this man. He has sold the most records and has been considered to be one of the greats and it’s making us look bad. Let’s continue to convince ourselves that he doesnt deserve any of this because he’s white. Let’s rise up! Black lives matter!
Ah yea, eminem makes hiphop and black people look bad! Not the new wave of rappers, getting into shootings and prison all the time, ODing on the same drugs they glorify on rap lol. Listen, I hate eminem in 2020. I think he is an ear sore now. I like his old music a lot. But making blacjs or hiphop look bad? Uhhh, I don’t think black people need white people to make them look bad. Everytime there is a shooting in my mostly white city, or a big brawl in a late night diner… Well, you can guess the descriptions of the people before knowing anything except the headline. I’m not racist, but if u want to look at reality, it’s things like that that actually make people into racists. Life experience is what makes people racist, from all sides.
Did you not read his name before replying? He’s trolling lol
You’re a misguided white boy. Eminem gets respect as one of the best to ever do it by “old heads” and the generation that he touched. You’re just a little privileged kid who uses the internet to vent your garbage thoughts
whar shocks me is that nobody is mentioning marshals wig ?
Christ, how many articles about Ems Gozilla sing are we gonna get on those site lol? He’s obviously trying so hard to make this into the next “rap god” track. It’s getting to be so gimmicky. Every other day or two, there’s another thing added to gain publicity. This time a tribute, last time a dumb social media challenge, what’s next?
This site can’t go a day without talking about Eminem lol
Grandpa rapper
I had posted a comment on YouTube about his Oscars performance. I said I think Eminem is bald now we get this video. I think Eminem reads people’s comments. Sorry Em I still think your bald. That looks like a hair piece.
I can’t believe most people on here are crisitisizing a legend for using his platform to bring awareness to this young man that lost his life. Do any of y’all edgy preteens ever think that maybe just maybe some of the proceeds for the song video stream whatever could be going to juices family? Prolly not cause y’all are just toxic as fuck. Guarantee you wanna stand behind anyone else tryna bring some positive awareness to issues. Just as long as it’s cool for you to bump them in your car.
