Here's The Backstory On Eminem's New Collaboration With Beyonce

Just last week, Eminem surprised the blogosphere when he dropped "Walk on Water," which just so happens to feature a guest appearance from Beyoncé and we have the backstory on their powerful team-up.

In a new interview, Slim Shady revealed why his new single was the perfect opportunity for the pair to collaborate, detailing that the reason boils down to good ol' fashioned timing. 

"It's been on my wish list for a long time, but I never really had a song that I felt like would be right to present to her and based off what it was about, I felt like she probably could relate to this, too," he recalled. "I told her, 'I never seen you make a mistake before, ever.' Like, performance-wise, everything. Every song she puts out, every album, it’s so calculated and precise. And everything’s always so perfect."

The song came to life on Saturday Night Live when Em served as musical guest alongside host Chance the Rapper. "Walk on Water" is off the rapper's forthcoming album, Revival, which still does not have a release date.
