Just like he did on The Death of Slim Shady, Eminem is once again serving his STANS a wave of nostalgia with “Everybody’s Looking at Me.” The track is one of twelve featured on the official soundtrack that accompanies his documentary, which explores how his music has shaped and influenced his devoted fan base. Beyond that, it also reflects on the Detroit icon’s early breakthrough and rise to fame.
The film’s theatrical run may have wrapped up, but today Eminem officially released the soundtrack that goes along with it. The project is a blend of his classic hits alongside unreleased material. Familiar favorites like “Rap God” and “Just Don’t Give a F*ck” appear, while deeper unreleased cuts add something fresh for longtime listeners.
“Everybody’s Looking at Me” falls into the latter category. Rather than being a forgotten song left on the cutting room floor, Eminem built it from a freestyle with the same title that Funk Flex first premiered back in 2002. The original version featured Proof, though in this updated release, his part is absent, and Slim Shady comes through with two brand new verses.
The first verse remains intact from the freestyle, but what makes it even more interesting is the fact that a brief snippet of the track can be heard for just a moment on “The Kiss (Skit)” from The Eminem Show.
On “Everybody’s Looking at Me,” Eminem sounds like his old self at the top of his game. The song combines his signature dark comedy, sharp commentary on the music industry's flaws, and layers of clever wordplay.
To add to the nostalgia, the beat crafted by Dr. Dre instantly takes listeners back to the chemistry that has defined so much of their past work together. In the end, it is impressive to see Eminem rework this freestyle into a whole track that still feels high-quality and true to his legacy.

Quotable Lyrics:
Type who might throw his underwear in the trash and wipe his a*s with the American flag like Marilyn Manson (Ha-ha)
Updated Axl Rose
White vеrsion of Shaft, pimp slappin' h*es
Pull up like a Mac, jet black limos
Strеtch so far back, can't see the back windows
Hit-Boy stepped into a more energetic and party driven sound on his latest single "Franchise Boy," released exclusively through YouTube. The record leans on a smooth and stripped back soul sample while also nodding to Dem Franchise Boyz and their classic track "White Tee." Hit-Boy rides the production effortlessly, delivering confident bars packed with flexes about his success and high end lifestyle. The song blends hints of Jersey club rhythms with touches of Miami bass influence, giving the track an addictive and upbeat feel. "Franchise Boy" feels like a strong preview of what could be another exciting run of music from Hit-Boy.

N***as had said it was love,
But it wasn't love, I'm really above
The s**t you be talking, I'm floating and walking
In Margiela runners, you won't see them often
