Here, Kid Cudi links up with Eminem for a fiery track about their successful careers. Each spits a lengthy verse, with Cudi referencing his jet-setting lifestyle, 2016 stint in rehab for depression, and his drug use. Eminem starts off his verse by alluding to his unofficial title of "Rap God." He goes on to talk about the COVID-19 pandemic, the police killing of African Americans, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The song title harkens to: Kid Cudi's self-proclaimed "Man On The Moon" moniker. The rapper named his first two albums Man On The Moon: The End Of Day (2009) and Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager (2010). Eminem's alter-ego Slim Shady, who expresses his base impulses. Marshall Mathers first introduced his persona on his 1997 debut record Slim Shady EP.
This marks the first time the two rappers have performed together on a track. However, Eminem did produce Cudi's 2010 collaboration with Lil B, "I Hear Them Calling Me," and on the 2015 Bad Meets Evil track "All I Think About," Em samples the Cleveland rapper's "In My Dreams 2015" and gives him a shout out.
