Grammy-winning rapper Eminem’s “Walk On Water” might not be the most street record he’s put out but it’s touching the hearts of families around the world.
Slim Shady went to Instagram to applaud a fan’s rendition of the single.
Last night, Em performed “Walk On Water” on the “Saturday Night Live” broadcast.
Eminem delivered a nine-minute, three-song medley during his Saturday Night Live musical guest spot, performing new single “Walk on Water,” “Stan” and “Love the Way You Lie.” On all three tracks, singer Skyler Grey filled in for each track’s respective guest – Beyoncé, Dido and Rihanna – while also playing piano for “Walk on Water.” Eminem and Grey were also backed by a string section and band.

However, some media outlets went in on Em for flashing back time.
The Detroit native delivered a rendition of his latest single Walk On Water from his forthcoming album Revival, while integrating elements of past hits such as Stan and Love The Way You Lie. But the feedback wasn’t likely what Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, and his label were looking for, with many grousing that the veteran rapper had lost his touch and had to rely on past glories to win over the crowd.
