“That guy has literally done everything for me, so I’m going to pay him back by doing this rap video exactly the way he wrote it,” Davidson tells Lyonne, holding Lorne’s trashed script.With the famed ’99 beat guiding his rap flow — Davidson shows up dressed as Michaels, surrounded by awards and spitting lines about the coveted producer whose face shows up as deep fakes scattered throughout the video. He boasts about his impeccable Rolodex, name-dropping Joe Biden, Paul McCartney and Paul Simon.“So what do you say about a comedy great? Been doing it himself for half a century straight,” Davidson raps, mimicking Eminem’s punchy delivery.Just as Davidson gets comfortable with his Eminem imitation, the illustrious rapper himself appears and shouts at the “King of Staten Island” star from off-camera.
