Eminem Unleashes Political Track 'Untouchable'
Music

The six-minute track finds the Detroit rapper spitting lines about police brutality, racial history of the United States and the black lives matter movement.

AceShowbiz - Ahead of the release of his highly-anticipated album "Revival", Eminem unveiled the second track off the effort, "Untouchable", on December 7. It follows Beyonce Knowles-assisted track "Walk on Water". Unlike the lead track that shows his vulnerability, "Untouchable" deals with political issue in the U.S.

The six-minute track finds the Detroit rapper rapping about police brutality, racial history of the United Stated as well as the black lives matter movement. "Throughout history, African-Americans have been treated like s**t," he raps. "And I admit there have been times where it's been embarrassing to be a white boy."

Elsewhere on the song, Em makes a reference to South African rap group Die Antwoord. "I feel like checking out on life, can't escape my cirscumstance/ I'd rather hear them say 'Die N-word' than Die Antwoord," he continues rhyming. "Ninja, now it's better to describe banter/ But that's life/ Strapped, 'cause we're strapped financially."

"Untouchable" is produced by Denaun Porter, who also composed "Walk on Water" and "Chloraseptic". The producer recently revealed how "Untouchable" was made in an interview with Complex. He said that the inspiration of the song came from Em, who shared his idea with him and turned it into the track together. "It's a really good story behind that song," he remarked.

Earlier this week, the "Rap God" hitmaker shared the tracklist of "Revival", which includes collaboration with many popular musicians. For instance, Ed Sheeran is featured on a track entitled "River", while Pink assists the rapper on track "Need Me".

"I've been working on it for over a year," Em said of the album in an interview with Elton John. "You know how it is -- you make songs, and as you make the new ones, the old ones get old and you throw them out. The album is a reflection of where I'm right now, but I also feel like what I tried to do was diversity. I've tried to make a little something of everyone."
