“They Tried to Bury Us… So We Dug Up the Mic”
Opening with an eerie, distorted church bell and a haunting female vocal sample whispering “Break me…”, the beat drops like a hammer — dirty 808s, sinister strings, and a snare that sounds like it’s punching through glass.
Then Wayne steps in with a jaw-dropping opener:
“I was chained to the throne in a castle of pain / Now I’m back with the dragon, we breathing propane.”
His voice is darker, raspier — aged like firewood. He references addiction, prison, death, and resurrection all within the first 16 bars.
Eminem? A Verbal Explosion Waiting to Happen
When Em slides in at the 1:22 mark, it’s with no hook — just fury:
“You thought I retired? Nah, I reloaded / Spit so sharp, I bleed encoded / Break every mold that ever tried to fold me / Unchained — now watch who controls me.”
He raps for nearly two minutes straight, no chorus, no breaths — just layered metaphors, double entendres, and shots fired at the “plastic rappers in auto-tuned prisons.”
Lyrical Chess, Not Checkers
In the final verse, the two go bar-for-bar, tag-teaming in what fans are already calling a “lyrical prizefight.” One fan described it as:
“Like watching Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson spar with words.”
Sample line:
Wayne: “I buried my fears in a casket of flows…”
Em: “…and I danced on the grave while the industry froze.”
Visual Teaser: Handcuffs, Fire, and Freedom
A 15-second teaser for the music video, directed by Cole Bennett, shows Em and Wayne chained back-to-back in a burning warehouse — until the beat drops, the chains melt, and they rise surrounded by a riot of masked figures chanting the hook:
🎵 “You can cage the flesh / But not the flame / Unchained, unchained / Say my name.” 🎵
Fan & Artist Reactions: Hip-Hop Just Leveled Up
Kendrick Lamar: “They didn’t rap. They detonated.”
Missy Elliott: “THIS is how you show up when you’ve got nothing left to prove but everything to say.”
@RapBible: “Bar for bar? Track of the year. No debate.”
More Than a Song – A Statement
In a joint note posted to X, both artists wrote:
“We made this for the ones who’ve been muzzled. Mocked. Misunderstood. We’ve been there too. So this one’s for every voice they tried to silence.”
“Unchained” isn’t a comeback. It’s a coronation.
Two legends. No leash.
And if this track is any indication, hip-hop’s next chapter just got rewritten — in blood, fire, and truth.

Culture Clash Erupts on Colbert: Karoline Leavitt Hijacks Late Night, Leaves the Studio—and America—Stunned An Unscripted Collision From the moment…
“You picked the wrong guy to humiliate — I’m not backing down, I’m going to fight back.” With those cold, unwavering words, Stephen Colbert fired the first shot after CBS abruptly canceled The Late Show. Calling it “a war,” Colbert not only defended himself, he turned the tables. CBS may have thought they could mock him in front of millions of viewers, but instead he fired off a blistering retort that silenced the studio and sent shockwaves across the internet. What exactly did he say? And why do insiders say this is just the opening salvo in a much larger war?
David Letterman had always been a man of silence and smirks, of words unspoken but deeply felt. But in this…
“You can’t spell CBS without bullshit.” With just seven words, David Letterman delivered a crushing blow after Stephen Colbert was abruptly canceled—and then walked away without a word. But behind that silence, industry insiders say, the spark of something much larger is brewing. Is Letterman hinting at a deeper scandal within the network? Or is this just the first move in a behind-the-scenes power shift that could shake late-night television to its core? Whatever happens next, his pointed remarks could be just the beginning of a media earthquake.
