Eminem and Elvis Presley have been linked since Slim Shady first appeared on MTV in 1999, and now their bond is made whole on Eminem and CeeLo Green's new single "The King and I," which was released Thursday.
The track, co-produced by Eminem and Dr. Dre, is included on the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's upcoming biopic "Elvis," where it plays over the movie's end credits.
It has a playful bounce and unfolds over a looping guitar sample from the opening of "Jailhouse Rock," and finds Em — who dressed up as Elvis to lampoon him in his 2002 video for "Without Me," and again in the 2009 video for "We Made You" — discussing the similarities between himself and the King.
