Eminem is never afraid to pay homage to the legends who paved the way for him, and in his latest music video for “Murdergram Deux” featuring LL Cool J, he tips his hat to one of the greats: Big Daddy Kane.

In the music video, fans immediately noticed the nod to Big Daddy Kane's legendary 1988 album “Long Live The Kane.” One particular scene in “Murdergram Deux” is reminiscent of the classic album cover, with Eminem clad in a toga reminiscent of the legendary hip-hop artist's pose on his throne.

“Long Live The Kane” is one of the cornerstones of hip-hop history. Kane’s slick rhymes and effortless flow influenced generations of rappers, including Eminem. It’s no surprise that Em was inspired by Kane’s legacy, considering Marshall has long celebrated him as one of his personal rap idols.

“Murdergram Deux” rounds out that energy, combining old-school essence with Em’s sharp, modern lyrical style while paying tribute to the pioneers who helped shape the culture. Fans of both eras—old and new—are sure to appreciate this thoughtful tribute to one of hip-hop’s all-time greats.
