Hip-hop's king of satire Eminem has teamed up with singer/songwriter Skylar Grey once again to poke fun at ""overly sexified music, media and the girls who try and imitate it," according to a recent interview with Rolling Stone. "C'mon Let Me Ride" is Grey's first single off her upcoming debut album Don't Look Down, and it shows a way more light-hearted, playful side of the Wisconsin-bred singer. Eminem delivers a pretty funny verse and sings the famous chorus of Queen's "Bicycle Race." Since Em is executively producing Skylar's album, it should come as no surprise that this track was produced by Marshall himself. The accompanying lyric video is pretty hilarious and overly suggestive (let's just be real, it's pretty raunchy), clearly serving its purpose as a buzzmaker for the actual video, which is set for release on December 11th to accompany the single's official iTunes release. For every Skylar fan stringing together expletives over the pop-sounding release, Skylar's stated that "C'mon Let Me Ride" is about as playful as she gets on Don't Look Down, which is sure to harbor that familiar dark persona on a few cuts.
Don't Look Down will be released in 2013 via Interscope Records.

This is terrible.
I could do without the auto tune jingle by em, but he killed his verse as always.
