Did you know that Marshall Mathers, who would go on to become EMINEM, appeared in KORN’s classic 1998 video for “Got The Life”?
Eminem can be seen briefly near the end of the video, when KORN show up to a block party. You can check out the clip below.
Apparently at that time the rapper was seriously into the burgeoning “Nu-Metal” scene, even appearing in a LIMP BIZKIT track.
KORN guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer discussed the cameo in a 2014 interview with Loudwire, saying: “There were some extras on the set of our video ‘Got the Life.’ Some kid came up to me and gave me his demo. I was really drunk and I was like [out of it]. He’s like, ‘Hey, check it out, I’m a rapper.’ I’m like, ‘I’m just a guitar player.’ It turned out that kid that was on our video was Eminem. He was an extra in that video. I vaguely remember that happening.”
Brian “Head” Welch snapped back jokingly, “Thanks a lot, man. Would could’ve been billionaires. We could’ve signed him before Dre.”
