All the References You Might Have Missed in Eminem’s “Godzilla” Video
Eminem dropped the new music video for “Godzilla” last night and it’s a cocktail of nostalgic references and cameos from the likes of Mike Tyson and Dr Dre.
Directed by Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett, the video starts with Eminem taking a swig from a bottle of Godzilla whiskey with his own face on it and then wobbling around a store with two monsters in tow.
Things get weirder from there as the 47-year-old rapper moves through a series of crazy scenarios — vomiting LEGO, getting kinky in a slaughterhouse, being punched by Tyson — many of which pay tribute to various iconic moments throughout his career.
Despite the insane visual overload, the video from the Music to Be Murdered By album ends on a quiet note, closing with a tribute to his friend, the late rapper Juice WRLD, who featured on the track.
Watch the video below and scroll down for the easter eggs spotted by Twitter fans.
