Hip-hop fans, get ready to hit pause and rewind — a lot.
JID and Eminem have just dropped the official lyric video for their explosive new collab “Animals”, and it’s everything fans hoped for — and more. Known for their razor-sharp flows and high-speed verses, both artists deliver bar after bar of clever wordplay, layered metaphors, and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it punchlines.
Now, with the release of the lyric video, fans finally have a fighting chance to decode every line — and it’s proving to be a wild ride.
A Stripped-Down Visual That Packs a Punch
Shot entirely in black and white, the video keeps things simple — and powerful. With no flashy distractions, the minimal visuals let the lyrics take center stage. The typography pulses with the rhythm, highlighting key phrases that are already fueling discussion online.
From Eminem’s cutting “Dave Chappelle of the rap game” reference to his sly nod at 50 Cent’s “Piggy Bank”, the track is packed with callbacks, cultural jabs, and lyrical acrobatics. Meanwhile, JID matches the energy with slick delivery and his trademark cadence — making “Animals” feel like a lyrical showdown between two of the genre’s most respected technicians.
A Gift for True Lyric Lovers
Whether you’re a longtime Em fan or a new recruit to JID’s wordplay-heavy world, this lyric video is the perfect tool to break it all down. Every syllable, double entendre, and inside joke is now front and center — and fans are already obsessing over line-by-line breakdowns across Reddit, Genius, and YouTube comments.
This isn’t just a collab — it’s a clinic in lyrical precision, and the lyric video only enhances the experience.
