One new voice message.
- (Paul) Hey Bob, what's going on? It's Paul.
- What is this?
- Is this the new music video?
- (Paul) Listen, I don't know how to tell you this, but...
- Logic.
- Dude, you guys don't freakin' realize how much I love Logic.
- (Paul) I don't think we're gonna be able to get Em to do this video.
- Sucks.
- (Paul) Anyway, I think you're gonna have to figure out
how to do this without him. - He looks really stressed.
- [bleep] Man. - What's up, bro?
- Eminem can't make the video shoot.
- Ah, Eminem can't make the shoot.
- I have a plan.
- So this is the video of Eminem and Logic. (laughs)
- We're gonna get Em a body double, and we're gonna get you a body double.
- Bro, two legends dog.
- You haven't heard who I have in mind.
- Okay. - Squints from the Sandlot.
- Are you [bleep] kidding me? You want Squints to play me,
yo this is crazy! Am I crazy, hello?
- I mean, it does work.
- (laughs) Clone him. The boys look the same.
- Squints. (laughs) - You want Squints to play me in a...
Yo, this is crazy! - I was just watching that movie
the other day, actually. (laughs)
- Like, I don't even. - Do me a favor,
you talk to the guy, you get a vibe, just FaceTime him.
- I mean that would be an honor to have Squints be there for you.
Come on. - Hey, Chauncey, what up man?
- Wait, is that him as an adult?
- (man) Yeah, I'm actually here with Bobby in the studio right now.
- Is it actually Squints from the Sandlot?
- That thing we were talking about. - (man) Yeah, it's a go.
(laughs)
- Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that. That's cool.
- Yeah, yeah, super cas, super chill. That was me though,
when I got called in to audition here, I was like oh yeah yeah that day works
that's fine, that's fine, yeah totally.
And I moved my entire schedule just to come.
- Hey what's up dude? - Yo Logic, uh, Bobby, yo what up?
- Yo what up?
- It's a trip, it's like I'm FaceTiming myself.
- They don't even look alike.
- Anyway, you really think you can do this though?
- Are you kidding? Don't worry.
- Ope, there it is. Yep, perfect.
- Oh, he kinda does now, once he shaved.
- Honestly though, what's crazy is that I've been waiting
for this collaboration.
- It's the exact same. Young Sinatra.

- Look what I'm plannin'. - What is happening?
- That's not Em, who is that? - Is that Eminem?
- Is that Eminem!? No way!
- Fanagan's trying to get up a plan against
All of the bana-kazana-ka-fam, bam-bannigans.
- Sometimes Eminem does kinda sound like that,
I'm not gonna lie. - You don't got the stamina,
you're lacking the stamina! - What is happening, right now?
- You're divorcin' Harrison Ford, and I'm in a Porsche
In the floor boards? While I'm world tourin'
You using' way too many napkins!
- (laughs) You're using way too many napkins.
- You're using way too many napkins. Napkins and chapki.
- That'd be me if I tried to rap. - Flappin' around like a bapkin?
- What the hell's a... (laughs) (Eminem babbles)
Oh my God! - (Eminem) Too many napkins!
- What did I just watch? - It's so weird, but it works so well!
That's the weird part about this diversity
of the people that are in this. It's like, there's a comedian,
there's an actor, and there's a primary singer.
So it's like they all complement each other
to make this great, great video.
- It's funny how they got the old actor from the Sandlot
to be Logic, because they, just a little bit,
they look like each other just a little bit.
Then of course, D'Elia, he did the Eminem parody a while ago.
So I guess it's only fitting that he played Eminem this time around.
- (FBE) So, that was the music video for Homicide,
from rapper Logic, featuring Eminem. - Yes, yes, yes it was!
- If there was any name song title for a song with Logic and Eminem.
- That's the one.
- Homicide is exactly what it woulda been.
- (FBE) So if you look at the comments on this video,
there are several around the speed and style in which
Logic and Eminem rap. - Right, right right.
- I was impressed by that.
Like how do you, where do you breathe? (laughs)
- (FBE) Many people joke that oxygen doesn't even come into play
for either rapper. - (laughs) Yeah, that's true.
They're like (gasps) (babbles rhythmically)
- Their lung capacity must be insane.
Dude, these guys have freakin' air balloons for lungs.
It's crazy, crazy, crazy talent.
- It's like when I be sittin' down, having conversations with Miracle.
Like, she talks so fast, it's like, you pick apart
six words you heard, and you just put it all together.
- And you get the point.
- (FBE) So as you saw, the music video features
appearances from Sandlot actor Chauncey Leopardi.
- Oh okay. - (FBE) Who was the stand in for Logic
and comedian Chris D'Elia who was the stand in for Eminem.
- Oh, I didn't even realize that was him!
- (FBE) Chris D'Elia is in the video due to a parody video he made
of Eminem's rap style which went viral back in 2018.
- No way! - Okay, now I see the connection.
- (FBE) This also seems to have inspired
the final scene in this video,
where Eminem is reenacting the viral video,
and is pretending to be Chris D'Elia, pretending to be Eminem.
- Why is Eminem always pretending to be somebody,
or somebody pretending to be Eminem?
- Okay, mind games here, it's like layers.
- (FBE) So what did you think of the premise of the video
to use stand-ins, instead of the actual artists?
- They're, yeah yeah, they're moving, yeah they gotta lipsync pretty quick,
and keep the beat, and the whole body motion and stuff.
So yeah, I mean, it's impressive.
- I'm always for experimenting and trying new things,
so I'm really glad that Logic and Eminem
tried this kind of video, because it worked really well,
and it kind of shows that you don't have to
just do the same thing over and over again
to guarantee success.
- I don't know if what they said in the video was real.
Like hey, Eminem just can't make it to the shoot.
But it would make sense.
If artists are busy, and sometimes they can't
be at a certain location, I guess the stand-ins do work.
They're like you know what, we can't have Eminem
in the actual video shoot, let's just point it out.
Like hey, we're gonna make this shoot with not-Eminem,
and we're gonna point it out, and it'll be okay.
- (FBE) So throughout the song, both Logic and Eminem
seem to touch on their distaste for the current state of rap.
Have you noticed a change within rap music
from the time Eminem first burst onto the scene
in the late '90s, to how rap is today?
- See, if you ask me, that I'm not into rap,
I feel like rap, it's in general, it's talking fast.
I feel like it all sounds the same, so I haven't noticed any difference
from like before and after.
- Music evolves, music changes.
More and more we hear about rappers who have teams behind them
who help build these songs.
And one point you're not just a musician
at some point, you become a business.
So it's just kind of like part of the business.
- Every rapper that makes it is rappers talking about
big booty hoes and all that stuff because that's what sells,
and that's what's at parties, and that's what's bumpin'
and that's number one on the Billboard.
Even if you want to be different and shift the culture,
there's not enough people that wanna shift it.
- Back with Eminem, you know what I'm sayin'?
Truth be told, he one of the coldest in the game.
I really don't know of a lot of people that can step up
and battle Eminem and walk out alive.
- The music reflects that they're not really,
they don't really care that much about content, you know?
Or it's just the direction, the evolution of music,
they way we're going.
- Rap is just more about being catchy now.
It's not about lyricism, as much as it was before.
It would be about where they're from, and how they grew up,
and the troubles that they went through.
But there's still artists like Kendrick and J. Cole
that still rap about politics and all that stuff.
- It seems more apparent that older rappers,
or rappers that have been out for a while,
write a lot of their own things.
Rappers like Eminem, and some of the old school rappers,
Ice Cube, people like that, they really had messages
in their rap lyrics, versus today,
it's more of just, you know, women, money.
- I think it's really sad.
If you look back in the '90s with Tupac and all of them,
their stuff was lyrical,
it's about being able to deliver a message to your fans,
it's about being able to help people
and be able to uplift people with your art.
I'm glad that they're [bleep] on SoundCloud rappers,
and all those people that don't write their own stuff
because that's not true art!
