It's not a "remake", it's the original song, which was released in 1974 by an English artist named Labi Siffre called "I Got The...". Eminem sampled the song for use in
Slim Shady but not after he was forced to make changes to they lyrics. I was a Director at his Publishing Company at the time and know all the back info.
Anyway, I thought it was a brilliant choice by the Music Supervisor, Thomas Golubić, because for some (including myself), it invokes the
Slim Shady lyric
without actually using it.
And even more importantly, it invokes Jimmy/Saul's dire situation. Is he Jimmy or is he Saul? Jimmy most likely wouldn't be in the desert, hanging on for dear life while transporting $7 million in cash in the Mexican desert. But Saul?
Clearly, that's a yes for Saul.
