Eminem shares hilarious behind the scenes video of “Houdini”

Eminem shows fans that he does his own stunts in a behind-the-scenes video of his “Houdini” music video from his upcoming 12th solo studio album The Death Of Slim Shady. On Monday (June 10, 2024), Eminem gave fans an exclusive look at the making of his “Houdini” music video. More specifically, they can see Marshall Mathers jump and climb around as his superhero alter ego Rapboy.

“Don’t try this at home,” Em tells the camera. “I do my own stunts.” In a quick montage, the Detroit MC is seen scaling a building, engaging in some slow-motion fight choreography and slapping his face on the ground. The video then closes out with Em, donning his signature Slim Shady blond hair and white T-shirt, yelling about how his shoe came off. The funny clip comes after “Houdini” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Monday, marking Eminem’s highest-charting song in 11 years.

Em clowning himself in his behind-the-scenes look makes sense considering he made fun of himself extensively in the final cut of “Houdini.” The original music video dropped alongside the single on May 31, and finds Rapboy defending Detroit from an evil Slim Shady who time-traveled from 1999 to 2004. Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Royce 5’9″, The Alchemist, Boogie and more appear in the visual, which now has over 60 million views on YouTube, making it the biggest debut on YouTube in 2024.
