Eminem ain’t no happy chappy with the folks over at New Zealand.
The rappers publishing company, Eight-Mile Style have filed a lawsuit against New Zealand’s National Party for the striking similarities between their 2014 election campaign video and the rapper’s 2002 hit, “Lose Yourself.”
The case has so far consisted of nine lawyers deeply listening to a song about spaghetti-induced vomit, Eminem himself has not made an appearance.
The similarity is definitely there, apart from NZ National Party’s irrelevant stock video of rowers and not Eminem pumping himself up in a dingy mirror.
Compared to the iconic 2002 hit ‘Loose Yourself’…
And like always, the Twittersphere has provided us the laughs on how ridiculous this all is.
Things I never thought I’d see – 9 lawyers plus a High Court judge listening to Eminem. 8-Mile Style vs National has begun.

Wherein the court soberly listens to ‘Lose Yourself’ and nobody bobs they head. https://t.co/8WGwf7htfG

Eminem v National party is the best court case since WWF v WWF
