Eminem's Pop-up Invite To Detroit: 'Come Vomit Up Some Spaghetti'
The local rap hero has a special event to promote his new album, "Revival." His invite is a flashback to the "8 Mile" soundtrack.
DETROIT (AP) — Rapper Eminem is hosting a promotional event in Detroit in the style of a pop-up restaurant with a menu featuring "mom's spaghetti."
Eminem touted the Friday event at the Shelter club to promote his new album, "Revival," in a tweet Thursday, saying: "Detroit! Come vomit up some spaghetti with me this weekend at our official #Revival pop up."
He says food and exclusive merchandise will be available.
The spaghetti menu item is a nod to lyrics from his Oscar-winning hit "Lose Yourself" from the movie, "8 Mile," in which he's so nervous about competing in a rap battle that "there's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti."
