And while their composite performance had Ush, live audience members, and viewers at home on their feet with a standing ovation, some critics took to the net to voice disappointment that Donald Glover was the only taste of testosterone over the nearly 17-minute showing.

Among those making headlines for this view are superstar singer-songwriter Eric Bellinger and veteran screen actress Elise Neal.

In his own unique way, Eminem not only toasts Tobey Maguire by recreating the infamous Spider-Man meme for the cover art of his latest single but also by titling the track the actor’s namesake.

Tapping fellow Detroit natives Big Sean and BabyTron to assist, the new song – which features a prominent Steve Miller Band sample – comes as the follow-up to Em’s chart-topping hit ‘Houdini‘ (both from his forthcoming album ‘The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’).

“Ain’t feelin’ your top five favorite rappers / So I know they ’bout to be pissed at me / But this, to me, is a mystery / How rappers I’ve already ripped could be / Higher up on a list than me / Yet here I sit on your list though at five, which still was fine,” the 51-year-old spits in reference to Billboard’s “50 Greatest Rappers of All Time” list.
