Eminem unleashed a lyric video for “Godzilla” earlier this week, but it turns out he has more plans for the standout Music To Be Murdered By track.
On Friday (March 6), Slim Shady announced a proper visual for the track would arrive on Monday (March 9) at 3 p.m. EST and revealed director Cole Bennett was behind the lens.
“Look what I’m plannin…@LyricalLemonade @YouTube live chat Monday 2pm ET,” he wrote in the caption. “Video premiere at 3pm ET #Godzilla.”
The post came with a 16-second clip of the video, which shows Shady breathing fire and fighting off various monsters.

“Godzilla” spawned the #GodzillaChallenge on social media last month. Since then, countless aspiring rappers — and some of Em’s peers — have stepped up in an attempt to beat or at least tie the 224 words Shady spits in 31 seconds as part of his verse.
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony MC Bizzy Bone and the inimitable Biz Markie both had different takes on it. Meanwhile, Twista said he’s accepted the challenge but has yet to release a video.
