Eminem's New Album Samples Kingdom Hearts

Producer Illadaproducer confirmed that it's a Kingdom Hearts sample in this Rolling Stone interview:

RS: What about "Good Guy," what's the sample there?

IL: That's me doing my video game thing. Kingdom Hearts. It's a Japanese videogame, and that's the theme song from it. It's one of the dopest melodies I've ever heard.

"Eninem".

Eminem's heartless doppelgänger.

 

[Imitatio]

Eminem as playable character confirmed?

 

[Ishiro]

Very unfortunate typo. Let's just say it's his norted name.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Is there going to be an 8 Mile universe Sora is going to visit now.

 

[Grandia]

French Montana had the better sample

 

[Riversands]

Which song did he sample from? Is it utada's passion?

 

[Kwigo]

Marshal Matters, the person.
Slimshady, the heartless.
Enimem, the nobody.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE

 

[JetstreamRorschach]

Anseminem is canon.

Says it's some vocals from the main theme of the first game. Dude says he basically made it unrecognizable though.

So simple and clean? Well... but that background filtered voice really sounds like Passion

The article doesn't go any further I don't think. I'm sure someone on the internet's figured it out, but they just posted what the album gives credit to.

Ehh... The song this is referring to isn't half bad. There's some awful songs on the album for sure, but this one's decent.

Also, seems odd to shit on the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack?

 

[Deleted member 9971]

Best rapper ever now confirmed.

 

[Kyle Cross]

Yeah, I could not tell what that was sampling and the KH OST is a big deal for me. I can also say yep, still don't like Eminem.

 

[Razmos]

He was already in Kingdom Hearts 2

 

[Deleted member 43077]

Detroit world announcment incoming?

 

[Vishmarx]

Dunno about Afrojack, but neither Drake or Eminem produce their own music.

It's largely because their music is produced by the same people.

So they are all fake?
Good to know.

Not sure what you mean by that. Eminem writes his own lyrics.

Like, look at the Instagram bio of the guy who was interviewed in the article linked:

We need someone with Photoshop skills to triple the size of Eminem's shoes ASAP.

 

[Spine Crawler]

Eminem likes videogames eight? He also rapped about the n64

 

[Slime]

lol what a fuckin nerd

 

[Village]

So that's why that beat is fucking fire.

 

[Qvoth]

Are... Are you implying Kingdom Hearts has a bad soundtrack?

 

[Araujo]

Ok, so who's going to try to remix the Kingdom Hearts 2 intro cinematic with one of Eminem's songs? It's AMV time!!!

 

[Lunchbox]

And he butchered it. Not Alike and Royce 5'9 is the only good thing on the album imo.

Most of the time, rappers ain't composers.
That's it. They are songwritters tho.

This is like a Katamari Damarcy of things I despise. Walt Disney children's characters; tween anime melodrama; and Marshall Mathers.

Now it just has to pick up the smell of eggs cooking, bumper-to-bumper traffic, and privatized healthcare to be complete.
