Eminem’s ‘Higher’ Soundtracks National Championship Intro, Fans Are Hyped

Eminem’s “Higher” was the soundtrack that kicked off the college football National Championship game between Alabama and Ohio State on Monday. Fans of the rapper were pumped to see his 2020 track get some recognition on one of the biggest sporting events of the year.

“Higher” was on Eminem‘s 11th studio album, Music to Be Murdered By (the deluxe edition). The track was easily picked up by his fans who were tuning in for the game, and they quickly took to social media to express their appreciation for ESPN dialing up his song for its introduction. The final game of the college football season sees two undefeated teams going against one another for the top prize in the sport. Due to COVID-19, Ohio State only played seven games, five fewer than Alabama, as the Big Ten conference held off on opening up its season due to the pandemic. Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide are seeking to win their second title since 2017 after LSU knocked off Clemson last season.

Here are some of the best reactions to pour in after Eminem’s “Higher” was heard leading into the highly anticipated championship game.
