Background

Eminem stated on his website that he was going to release a new track on December 8. This led to the promotional single "Untouchable". The song features a sample from the song "Earache My Eye" by the comedy duo Cheech & Chong. The song is a heavily political song which blames the Republican Party for police brutality and institutional racism in the United States, also criticizing the philosophy of 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps', retorting, "where the fuck are the boots?".^[4] Marshall met Masta Ace a long time ago before song was made according to DJMasterCee. The disc jockey said that Eminem got permission from Ace to use his lines on the Revival track and compared Mathers to Elvis in Hip Hop .^[5] ^[6]
