Justin Bieber Showcases Rap Skills with Fast-Paced Eminem Cover

Justin Bieber recently showcased his hip-hop chops by tackling one of Eminem’s most technical verses. During a recent livestream, the pop superstar surprised his audience with an impromptu cover of the Dr. Dre collaboration, “Forgot About Dre,” proving he can still keep up with the genre’s fastest tempos.

The performance, captured during a Twitch broadcast from his expansive rehearsal warehouse, shows Bieber commanding the microphone as his team dances along. Currently deep in preparation for his 2026 Coachella headlining set, the “Peaches” singer navigated the rapid-fire rhymes of the 1999 classic with surprising agility. While he grazed over a few of Slim Shady’s more intricate bars, his delivery remained impressively synchronized with the track’s high-octane pacing.

A Tribute to a Hip-Hop Milestone

Originally featured on Dr. Dre’s seminal 2001 album, “Forgot About Dre” remains a cornerstone of Y2K-era rap. The track peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2000 and saw a major cultural resurgence in 2022 when Dre and Eminem reunited to perform it during their iconic Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Bieber’s warehouse sessions have become a frequent treat for fans. He is slated to headline the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival alongside fellow chart-toppers Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. The rehearsals offer a glimpse into his rigorous preparation for what is expected to be a massive career milestone.

Life in the Rehearsal Lab

The musician’s sprawling practice facility is designed for more than just music; it serves as a creative sanctuary. The space is outfitted with lounge furniture, a basketball court, a skate ramp, and dedicated play areas for his one-year-old son, Jack Blues. Embracing the spirit of the season, Bieber has also added a towering, illuminated Christmas tree to the workspace, blending his professional grind with domestic holiday vibes.
