Eminem is fed up with Pete Davidson and his rap music video parodies. The American comedian, actor, and writer Pete Davidson is famous for his contributions to the NBC late-night sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live. Eminem is a very well-known name to every Rap music fan out there. The credit for popularizing hip-hop in middle America belongs to this greatest rapper of all time.
It was the season 47 finale of Saturday Night Live on May 21. Eminem made another memorable cameo in a musical sketch paying tribute to longtime show producer Lorne Michaels. In the cut-for-time skit, titled “Forgot About Lorne,” Davidson starts rapping about Lorne’s accomplishments. The Rao was over the beat from Dr. Dre‘s 1999 hit “Forgot About Dre,” featuring Eminem.
Pete Davidson With His Another Parody
Davidson made his final appearance on SNL after eight seasons. Host Natasha Lyonne asked him for a parody on the set. She tells him that Lorne is depressed because he has always wanted to appear in a music video alongside the 28-year-old comedian.
“That guy has done everything for me, so I’m going to pay him back by doing this rap video exactly the way he wrote it,” Davidson tells Lyonne. He was holding a crumpled-up script found in the garbage. For the shoot of the music video, Davidson dressed as Michaels. He was surrounded by shelves of golden award statues and segues to the comic dressed as himself. He was rapping lyrics about the SNL creator’s influence in launching the careers of such comedy greats as John Belushi, Chris Farley, Dan Aykroyd, and Will Ferrell.
“So what do you say about a comedy great/ Been doing it himself for half a century straight,” Davidson raps, impersonating Eminem’s rapid-fire verse on “Forgot About Dre.” “Wanna talk about all the crazy people he made/ Every single decade has ridiculous names.”
Eminem Goes All Out On Davidson
The rap god gets pissed off and interrupts Pete Davidson’s flow. He shouts at the King of Staten Island star from a nearby camera on the set. Eminem was without a doubt annoyed to a great extent. He then starts grilling Pete about why he’s doing yet another hip-hop video parody.
“It’s another parody, it’s like another tribute or something?” Em asks, to which Davidson responds that it’s the third one. (The SNL star has previously starred in spoofs of Eminem’s 2002 hit “Without Me” and his 2000 classic “Stan.”)
“I would just stop,” Em continues. “Yeah, they all suck … Just please, stop … It’s really bad.” Davidson tries to explain that the parodies are meant to pay tribute to Mathers’ music, but the rapper isn’t having any of it. “Pete, don’t f—ing do it again,” Eminem says, pointing his finger at Davidson.
The comedian then looks off to a character playing Michaels and yells, “You blew it!”
