“Though I’m not the first king of controversy. I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley to do Black music so selfishly, and use it to get myself wealthy,” rapped Eminem on “Without Me” off 2002’s The Eminem Show album.

Eminem is now directly connected to a project about the late Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Elvis Presley. The soundtrack for director Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic features Em and other Hip Hop acts.

Yesterday, Eminem shared a 16-second snippet from his Dr. Dre-produced “The King And I” collaboration with singer/rapper CeeLo Green. The track will live on the forthcoming album associated with the Elvis motion picture.
