For Eminem, it\u2019s another reminder that he\u2019s never been afraid to step outside of hip-hop\u2019s boundaries and team up with rock royalty \u2014 just as he did with Aerosmith\u2019s Steven Tyler and even Elton John in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"a-cultural-collision\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_cultural_collision\"><\/span>A cultural collision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music critics are already calling\u00a0<em>\u201cThis I Love\u201d<\/em>\u00a0a \u201craw and unpolished masterpiece\u201d and predicting it will dominate both rock and rap charts simultaneously.
