Justin Bieber covers Eminem in viral clip
Justin Bieber’s rapping skills have been making waves on social media with his cover of Eminem’s verse on “Forgot About Dre”. The Baby hitmaker left fans surprised when he paid tribute to hip-hop legends Dr. Dre and Eminem. Bieber covered M&M’s iconic verse on the classic track “Forgot About Dre” during a recent live stream on Twitch. The 60-second clip shows Bieber confidently delivering Eminem’s lyrics, showcasing his willingness to explore new genres.
For those unaware, “Forgot About Dre” is a standout track from Dr. Dre’s 1999 album “2001”. The popular song features an iconic verse from Eminem. The song’s production is creatively complemented by Eminem’s aggressive flow and clever wordplay, making it a challenging one to cover. Bieber’s rendition of the challenging song is a testament to his versatility as an artist, highlighting his interest in exploring different genres and styles.
Having said that, Bieber’s performance was met with mixed reactions. While some fans praised his attempts, others pointed out his shortcomings under the viral X (formerly Twitter) video. “Whoa! That’s unexpected but exciting seeing two generations of talent collide like this is pure music magic”, one fan tweeted. “He’s having fun just being himself. People should try it sometime”, another commented. “I know a thing or two about fire and that was LIT”, yet another Bieber fan wrote.
However, one fan wrote, “This is hilariously bad. He’s having fun, though”. “What’s so funny is that he’s live-streaming his Coachella performance practice and getting paid for it lmao”, another concurred. “Bieber dope but nah this ain’t it lol”, another X user chimed in.
