Chloraseptic

About this song

The remix was released after Revival received poor critical reception, and Eminem dropped it as a response in which he lashed out at critics. It features a verse from 2 Chainz and a verse from PHresher. Rick Rubin, a frequent Eminem collaborator and executive producer on Revival, said he could see Eminem was frustrated by the situation.

What it's about

The song is Eminem's take on modern rap, calling out mumble rappers and taking aggressive jabs at other rappers and the newer generation. The title refers to Chloraseptic throat medicine, as mumbling while rapping leaves the throat tired.
