A video of Justin Bieber covering an Eminem track has gone viral, drawing mixed reactions from fans.
Many viewers were surprised that the Canadian singer scored the cover well, while others said many of his lyrics sounded like gibberish.
The footage comes from Bieber’s livestream, where he performs some of Eminem’s verses, including the line “Forget about Dre.”
“Forgot About Dre” is a standout song from Dr.’s album “2001.” Dre from 1999.
The song features an iconic verse from Eminem. The song’s production is creatively complemented by Eminem’s aggressive flow and clever wordplay, making it a challenge to cover.
A separate clip has also surfaced online of Bieber rapping part of Eminem’s “Superman.”
Eminem’s fans were excited about the tribute and expressed hope that a full-length collaboration between Slim Shady and Justin Bieber could one day become a reality.
