Revisit the time when Eminem, Method Man, and Royce Da 5'9" linked up to destroy DJ Clue's classic deep cut "What The Beat."
As of now, "What The Beat" is only the second time Eminem has crossed paths with the Wu-Tang Clan, the first being his link-up with RZA on "The Anthem." Here, Meth sets things off over a minimalist dark banger from Clue and Duro, firing off a slick flow and raising the bar for his fellow lyricists. Em gets the second verse, his manic energy peak Slim Shady as he flips Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five's "The Message" in sinister fashion. Closing things out is Royce Da 5'9", still finding his artistic footing as he fires off dexterous bars. "Vampire, sun go down, I'm still wilding," he spits. "Bullets travel through the air in the night like Phil Collins."

QUOTABLE LYRICS
Believe me, they'd be just as many motherfucking murderers
And heroin users without Marilyn's music
But I figure I make my music I don't care if you use it
To murder somebody, I just wanna be there when you do it
