Breaking News (skit) Lyrics

[Skit: Kimberly Gill, Devin Scillian, Slim Shady & Eminem]
Aight, now I'm 'bout to show you somethin'
What?
(Shh, watch) Now to breaking news, and it turns on this week in music
Detroit rapper Eminem, in a stunning move, has released an album
(What? Shh)
In which he is actually trying to cancel himself
Man, what the fuck?
And right now, at this hour, we got protestors lining the streets downtown
Where Kimberly Gill is standing by, KG

Hi, Devin, we are outside Eminem's Mom's Spaghetti (Man, this some bullshit)
Where, as you can see behind me
People are definitely upset over Eminem's new album
And are actually calling to boycott the rapper (Haha)
For songs that include insensitive comments about little people
People with mental disabilities, transgender rights and the first amendment (Hahahaha, haha)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In this skit from Eminem’s 12th studio album The Death of Slim Shady, Em finds himself held captive by his alter ego, Slim Shady, as they navigate the aftermath of Slim’s attempt to make Eminem appear as though he’s trying to get himself “canceled” with his new album.

The protest scene is narrated by Detroit news anchors Kimberly Gill and Devin Scillian, who offer a critical overview of the public’s outrage, with the demonstrators rallying outside Eminem’s restaurant, “Mom’s Spaghetti”. Part of this skit was visualized in the “Basement Trailer” video which was posted just hours before the album’s release.
