Buffalo Bill by Eminem
Part of the 2009 album “Relapse: Refill”, an expanded re-release of “Relapse”, “Buffalo Bill” was co-written by Eminem, Dr. Dre, Dawaun Parker, and Mark Batson. The song draws inspiration from the movie character Buffalo Bill from “The Silence of the Lambs”. It adopts a dark, horrorcore style, describing fictional and macabre events in Eminem’s signature dramatic narrative.
Fun Fact: “Relapse: Refill” was a continuation of the themes explored in “Relapse”, with Eminem using various personas and voices to tell twisted tales.
“Buffalo Bill” is a prime example of Eminem’s ability to craft detailed and cinematic stories through his lyrics, even if they’re dark or controversial.
