The Marshall Mathers LP 2 hit stores yesterday, and those who purchased The Marshall Mathers LP 2/Call of Duty: Ghosts bundle pack got treated to an exclusive bonus track called "Don't Front." Eminem teamed up on the B-side with Brooklyn rapper Buckshot, who holds down the hook. Slim raps over a cut of New York group Black Moon's 1993 "I Got Cha Opin" off Enta Da Stage.
It's almost a shame that it didn't make it on the album. It is quintessential Eminem channeling a mid-90s flow with solid interplay of biting lyrical jabs, playful bragging and career introspection.
"Use to get bent, now I represent to the fullest," he raps. "Pencil is full of insolent bullets / I'm like a Doberman Pinscher, Pitbull and a Rott' / Mixed with a toxic / the plot begins to thicken / I begin spitting the vintage Pac/ demented/ Demonic sinister/ ever since the Doc Replenished me / the day he gave me that shot/ when I was just 'bout to quit."
The track has that nostalgic feel that fits well on an album looking to revisit the days of The Marshall Mathers LP. And really, it's just freaking good. So take a listen for yourself here, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
