Content

The song features uncredited vocals by American singer Justin Vernon, who performed the chorus and was credited as one of the co-writers.[6] As other tracks from the album, "Fall" criticizes the contemporary hip-hop scene, dissing Joe Budden, DJ Akademiks, and Tyler, the Creator, among others.[7]

The slur used to describe Tyler, the Creator, "faggot", generated controversy, with fans writing against Eminem on social media, and some fellow recording artists, including Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds and Australian singer Troye Sivan, publicly criticizing his lyrics.[8][9][10] Justin Vernon distanced himself from the song's message, claiming he was not in the studio while Eminem recorded his vocals, and revealing he asked Eminem's entourage to change it, without any result.[11][12] Interviewed by Sway, Eminem discussed his verses, claiming he knew he went "too far" with calling Tyler a "faggot", and apologized "because in my quest to hurt him, I realize that I was hurting a lot of other people by saying it".[13][14]

Music video

On September 4, 2018, Eminem released a music video for the song, directed by James Larese.[15] It was the first video to be released from Kamikaze.[16][17] The video completely cut out the word "faggot" instead of having it back masked, like in the original song.[17][18][14]
