Although not exactly a household name on the same level as present-day rap icons like Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone, Tom MacDonald has been drawing attention in recent years for the hot takes he shares through his music. A look at the rapper’s discography, which includes singles titled “Fake Woke,” “Straight White Male,” and “Politically Incorrect,” tells you all you need to know about his favorite lyrical subject matter. But if you look past those tunes, you’ll see that MacDonald has a few songs dedicated to Eminem, most notably the aforementioned 2019 track “Cloned Rappers.”

As reported by Daily Star, the song’s lyrics reference many of the key points of various Eminem clone theories, including the line claiming that the Illuminati “took bone samples to clone rappers,” and the one that says “if they can’t control you, they erase the old you.” MacDonald then goes on to allege that rappers such as Gucci Mane and Kodak Black were cloned, before adding that Eminem was also replaced by a doppelganger, and that “he ain’t rapped since ‘Encore.'” That latter album, as fans know, was released in 2004 and would have been the “real” Slim Shady’s last album before he “died” in 2006 and was “replaced” by a faux Slim Shady.

Of course, those quotation marks are there because we know there has only been one Eminem, and he’s still alive. But viewers still flock to the comments section of the “Cloned Rappers” video on YouTube, seemingly agreeing with MacDonald’s allegations and giving the video the ol’ thumbs-up. We can only hope the majority of those comments were made with the users’ tongues planted firmly in cheek.
