Hip-hop just got hit with a lyrical earthquake.
JID has officially dropped his highly anticipated new track “Animals”, featuring none other than Eminem — and it’s already setting the internet on fire. This marks another high-energy pairing following their explosive collaboration on The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), and if that track was the appetizer, “Animals” is the full-course lyrical slaughter.
Eminem’s Verse: A Verbal Onslaught That Shuts Down the Competition
Clocking in as the third verse on the track, Eminem goes nuclear — spitting over 100 bars packed with his signature blend of wordplay, shock value, punchlines, metaphors, name-drops, and razor-sharp flow switches. No topic is off-limits: from 50 Cent, Dave Chappelle, and Ye, to N.W.A., Ja Rule, Joe and Daryl from Run-DMC, and even Proof and 8 Mile — Eminem brings it all together in a verse that feels both personal and destructive.
Lines like:
“I signed 50 Cent and put him in my piggy bank / And I ain’t gonna apolo-gize to you for what the f** I do”*
…and…
“Dave Chappelle of the rap game, I’m never gonna play myself / Closest I ever came’s 8 Mile”
…have already gone viral across X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and YouTube comment sections.
A True Lyricist Showcase
While Eminem steals the spotlight with his beast-mode finale, JID holds his own with a typically slick, complex verse that proves why he’s considered one of the best new-school lyricists. Together, the two make “Animals” not just a banger, but a technical rap clinic.
The song is available now on all major platforms, and the official lyric video has already racked up millions of views within hours of release.
