Listen To Eminem Take Aim At White Privilege On New Song 'Untouchable'

With just one week until his new album, Revival, drops, Eminem has unleashed another album cut from the forthcoming set and it's a track all about racial profiling and white privilege called "Untouchable." 

Produced by Mr. Porter and using a sample of Cheech & Chong's "Earache My Eye," the lengthy six-minute track hears Slim Shady in not so rare form as he spits bars over the upbeat production. "Feels like we're stuck in a time warp to me/ As I kick these facts and get these mixed reactions/ As this beat backspins/ It like we're drifting back into the Sixties/ Having black skin is risky 'cause this keeps happening," Eminem raps on the track. "Throughout history, African Americans have been treated like shit/ And I admit, there have been times where it's been embarrassing to be a white boy."

Eminem continues on to reference particularly news stories related to Black Lives Matter, the death of Freddie Gray, the beating of Rodney King, and Colin Kaepernick’s National Anthem protests, which only furthers the mission of the song. 

On Tuesday (December 5), Em took to social media to share the 19-song track list for his set and it's an eyeful of star power. Not only does it contain his Beyoncé-assisted collab "Walk on Water," but the rapper's LP also features collabs with PHRESHER ("Chloraseptic"), Ed Sheeran ("River"), Alicia Keys ("Like Home"), X Ambassadors ("Bad Husband"), Skylar Grey ("Tragic Endings"), Kehlani ("Nowhere Fast") and P!NK ("Need Me"). Revival will complete Em's trilogy of LPs following the release of 2009's Relapse and 2010's Recovery
