Eminem Nailed His ‘SNL’ Set With A Medley Of His Greatest Hits
Dear Slim.
Eminem has knocked his latest appearance on Saturday Night Live out of the park, performing a medley of his hits including ‘Walk on Water’, his recent collaboration with Beyonce.
The stakes were high for the Grammy-winning rapper, who went into the show having refused to battle SNL star Leslie Jones on the program because… well, he knew she’d win.

After being introduced by host Chance the Rapper, Eminem launched into a chilling rendition of ‘Walk on Water’, the first single off his upcoming album, Revival. He was accompanied by the song’s writer, Skylar Grey, on vocals and keys.
But rather than stopping there, the duo followed it up with verses from the rapper’s iconic tracks ‘Stan’ and ‘Love the Way You Lie’. And look, full credit to Grey, who after stepping into Bey’s shoes managed to nail the parts of Dido and Rihanna as well.
Fans on the internet were appropriately shook.
