the Moon series to complete the album trilogy, which he has previously announced over the years. The referenced album, Man on the Moon III: The Chosen, was released by Cudi on December 11, 2020. Critical reception Consequence of Sounds Matt Melis named it the song of the week, calling it an "adventure that feels too hot to have been given much time to cool off". Melis commended the artists for bringing their individual talents to the song, noting Cudi's established "authenticity" and producer Dot da Genius' production that "allows Cudi to pause in reflection but never come to a full stop, creating a momentum where principle and purpose feel more important than perfection". Billboards Mitchell Peters called the track "fiery". Josh Stewart of Dancing Astronaut praised the song, stating it "does what many collaborations or features cannot, pulling off a true artistic amalgamation of the two styles while concocting something fresh along the way". Robin Murray of Clash magazine said the "rap heavyweights" deliver "a huge piece of stadium level hip-hop". Conversely, Jonathan Robles of Variance called the song "somewhat of a dud", although stating that Eminem "naturally" grabs the spotlight over multiple lines. Music video An animated lyric video was released along with the song, in which Kid Cudi and Eminem appear as crime-fighting comic superheroes, Moon Man and Slim Shady.
