Eminem New Album 2013: Southern Kings Rugby Team Seek Inspiration from Slim Shady's 'Lose Yourself' to Intimidate Golden Lions in South Africa's Super Rugby Play-Offs [VIDEO]

Details surrounding Eminem's highly-anticipated new album still remain a total mystery... even so, Slim Shady's old rap beats are currently causing quite a stir on the web! The popular South African rugby team Southern Kings are preparing to face-off against the Golden Lions on Friday (July 26) in the first round of Super Rugby play-off matches. To help "intimidate" their competition, the Southern Kings released a pre-game video that goes along to the theme of Eminem's hit song "Lose Yourself." The clip is pretty badass... check it out below.

First, as reported by ESPN Scrum:

The Lions and the Southern Kings meet on Friday (July 26) in the first of two Super Rugby play-off matches to determine which franchise will take the fifth South African spot in next year's campaign.

The Lions finished at the foot of the Super Rugby tree in 2012 and as a result, lost their place with the South African Rugby Union granting the Eastern Cape a franchise ahead of the 2013 campaign. The Kings have done themselves proud with a bold opening season in the premier tournament which saw them record three wins and a draw. However, they did finish at the foot of the tree meaning they now face a relegation/promotion decider against the Lions.

With the Lions waiting in the wings looking to retake their spot in the competition, the Kings now have two matches against the Johannesburg franchise to secure a second term in Super Rugby. And the ante has been upped on YouTube with the Kings producing their own motivational video in response to one which appeared last week in support of the Lions.

Here's the video released by the MTN Golden Lions:

And here's the Southern Kings response:

Fans claim that the Lions video is much more professional and better edited... but still, the Kings' comeback is pretty awesome, too.

As for Eminem's new album... fans will just have to wait and see!
