Eminem & Jack White might be teaming up for “The Death Of Slim Shady” album

Eminem is preparing to release his 12th solo studio studio album, titled The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), sometime this summer. So far, the Detroit legend has yet to release any singles from the forthcoming project nor confirm a solid release date or tracklist. Now, Stans are curious what fellow Detroit native Jack White has to do with it.

The album rollout has already started, though, which is surprising from Em cause he has been dropping surprise albums since 2017. Not only did he take out a fake obituary for Slim Shady—his longtime alter-ego—in the Detroit Free Press, but he also dropped a trailer for the album with the cameo from 50 Cent during Detroit NFL Draft 2024.

Yesterday (May 26, 2024), the White Stripes lead singer and guitarist shared a random post consisting of three photos of Eminem from his 2014 Shady CXVPHER, rocking a PRhyme hoodie. He didn’t include any caption, leaving people guessing as to what the post could actually be about. Speculation ran wild in the comment section with comments like, “If there’s a collab here, the entire planet will faint all at once” and “What if Jack is on Eminem’s new album that’s coming out soon.”

The notion isn’t too far fetched. Eminem has previously collaborated with artists who might seem a bit outside the box for him, including Ed Sheeran and Rihanna. White, meanwhile, is known to be a big Hip-Hop fan and most recently collaborated with A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip on his latest album, 2022’s Entering Heaven Alive.

Despite minimal detail on the album, Eminem did tease a possible release date recently. On Monday (May 20, 2024), Marshall shared a cryptic tweet that included a photo of a text message with the vanishing effect revealing the words, “…and for my last trick!” The date on the message was May 31, 2024 at 12 a.m.

Considering that’s a Friday, it’s not hard to conclude what he’s suggesting. After all, he did say the album was arriving this summer—not spring. Now, Stans are eagerly expecting the first single from the album to arrive that day.

This week is the Detroit Grand Prix too. Jack White and Eminem both might be performing at the show. Check out Jack’s post below:

Nasaan jokingly warns Eminem about releasing on the same day as him

Eminem appears to have ‘upset’ Big Proof‘s son NASAAN as they now have release dates on the same day. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the young Detroit rapper jokingly warned Detroit legend not dare releasing anything on the same day as him: “Eminem dropping the same day as me? I would not do that if I was you, UNLESSSS you wanna get out sold OG.”

He then urged fans to pre-save his upcoming project titled Error 404 which is dropping on May 31, 2024, the same date Eminem has teased a new release, which is likely to be the first single from his upcoming album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). NASAAN’s debut project, Error 404 is curated by Royce 5’9″ and is set to feature Royce himself, as well as Detroit rappers Icewear Vezzo and BabyTron.

NASAAN has recently released the first single from the project, titled “Goated” featuring Royce 5’9″. In the song’s accompanying video, NASAAN paid tribute to his late father by recreating a famous freestyle featuring Proof and Eminem from 1999 during an interview with MTV. You can watch it below:

Ez Mil drops new freestyle “New York” over “Pakistani” beat

Ez Mil is back with a new “New York” freestyle over D-Block Europe and Clavish’s “Pakistan” song, produced by Da Beatfreakz. “Feeling cute, might release a freestyle later.” said Ezekiel before dropping the freestyle.

This marks the first release from Shady Records artist since a remix of “Up Down” with A Boogie Wit da Hoodie couple of months ago. The original track is titled “Up Down (Step & Walk),” and is produced by Ezekiel himself. The song is from his 2022 album, DU4LI7Y. Ez just rides this 16bit futuristic beat. With a mix of old school boom bap careless flow artillery and a hint of A.I. style. Accompanied by his little robot friend, R4C7 on synths.

Last year, Eminem shared a social media post about Ez Mil’s song “Up Down (Step & Walk)” and wrote: “This is why we signed him.” Slim Shady was so impressed by the song and it led to an exciting turn of events as Ez made the journey from Vegas to Los Angeles to meet with Dr. Dre and Eminem for the very first time. The meeting sparked a strong bond between Ez Mil and Eminem, leading Em to sign him to Shady Records and eventually collaborate on a track called “Realest,” the song that showcases their incredible rap acrobatics, with a pulsating beat and an array of complex multisyllabic rhyme schemes and clever wordplay that harkens back to Marshall’s legendary style.

“Up Down (Step and Walk)” also has a music video with over 4.3 million views on YouTube. It’s a collaboration between the rapper himself and Creative Director & TRYBE founder Phil Tayag. The song first premiered at the NBA LA Clippers vs. Utah Jazz halftime performance and was well received with millions watching the performance live or online. The visual art focused on dance and he was excited to work with the award winning choreographer who’s also worked with Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, and Paul McCartney. Growing up, Ezekiel was a huge fan of hip-hop and dance, he would spend countless hours studying dance and music videos any chance he could whether at school or in Internet cafes in the Philippines.

Kxng Crooked thinks May 31 is the released date of new Eminem album

Eminem has been taking a very unique approach to the rollout for his much-anticipated upcoming 12th solo studio album. Last month, Marshall announced The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) with a true crime parody video just before the NFL Draft 2024, and then he had an obituary for Slim printed in the Detroit Free Press, all well as in Germany and Italy newspapers. It’s looking like The Death of Slim Shady will be Eminem’s most ambitious album in years, and based on the latest piece of material released, it won’t be long until fans get to hear what it sounds like.

Few days ago, Eminem posted a screenshot video of a text exchange on his social media accounts. The contact info at the top reads: “All contacts,” and the message that gets sent out reads: “And for my last trick!” This video furthers the notion that the upcoming album will be the end of the line for Slim Shady as a character. The biggest revelation, though, is the time in which the text message is sent. The message says Friday, May 31 at 12:00 AM, which means fans can expect something major to happen on this date. It’s not made clear what the “something” will be. Under the comment section on Instagram, Ez Mil and Nasaan both commented the magic wand emojis. Slim Shady also changed his profile pictures on social media to a ‘rabbit’, which is probably related to his 8 Mile character.

Yesterday, one of the fans on X (formerly Twitter) asked Kxng Crooked what is Eminem dropping on may 31st, an album, the tracklist or a single, on which Crooked replied with a Jimmy McGill GIF with the caption: “If he’s doing all of this for a single.. better call Paul.” Jimmy McGill is a character in “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” TV series. Crook cryptically references an iconic phrase “Better Call Saul” but replaced Saul with Paul, which probably refers to Paul Rosenberg. Check out the tweet below:

It will probably be a new single. Some fans took to the comment section to theorize that Em is dropping the entire album on May 31, but the video teaser announcing The Death of Slim Shady stated that it will drop in the summer. Seeing as summer doesn’t officially start until late June, it’s safe to state that Eminem will be sitting on the album for a bit longer. The Detroit legend first teased the idea of new music back in January. He told Shade 45 listeners that he was “working on a little something,” and also teased a potential collaboration with 50 Cent.

“I’m trying to get him to make a new album so bad. We need another 50 album, like, really bad. 50’s on a roll right now. He’s been on a roll since the tour. I told him whatever the f–k he needs from me, I’m here. Joint album? That s–t would be crazy, though, an album with me and him.” said Eminem.

Watch the trailer of “How Music Got Free,” produced by Eminem with 50 Cent cameo

A new docuseries titled HOW MUSIC GOT FREE will be released on June 11, 2024. The documentary details the amazing story of the technology-driven disruption that changed music during the late-90s and early-2000s. File sharing technology, combined with the unprecedented demand for new music, created both the means and the motive for millions of young people to participate in outright theft on the internet.

HOW MUSIC GOT FREE is executive produced by LeBron James and Eminem along with Slim Shady’s manager Paul Rosenberg, Maverick Carter and Steve Stoute, and is based on the popular book of the same name by author Stephen Witt. The documentary is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television/Telepictures in association with SpringHill, Interscope Films and Shady Films. Narrated by Method Man, the series features interviews with Eminem, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Jimmy Iovine, Rocsi Diaz, Rhymefest, Steve Stoute and many more.

Dell Glover from Shelby, NC became the main leaker of music in the wild wild mp3 days who used to work a job at the Universal Music CD pressing plant. The series throws light on his story and how his actions changed the music industry forever.

In the trailer, Eminem says: “When Napster came about I didn’t understand the internet yet. I thought Yahoo was a person…Here is what you don’t understand if music should be free. I have entire army of people that need their paycheck.” You can watch the trailer below:

Eminem’s mother reacts to Eminem & Hailie dancing at her granddaughter’s wedding

A little more than a year after Eminem and Kim Scott’s daughter Hailie Jade revealed that she and Evan McClintock had gotten engaged, the two have tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Battle Creek, Michigan surrounded by family and friends, which included Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and Jimmy Iovine.

“Waking up a wife this week,” Hailie shared in a May 20, 2024 Instagram post featuring photos from the couple’s wedding day. “We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration.” And the 28-year-old, who wore a stunning white strapless gown with jaw-dropping floor-length veil, simply found herself lost in the moment during their nuptials.

She continued: “So so many happy tears were shed laughs and smiles were had and so much love was felt. Evan and I are feeling so grateful for all of the family and friends that traveled to support us and be a part of this new chapter of our lives as husband and wife.”

Under the posts’ comment, Bizarre of D12 commented: “Congrats” with heart emoji. Obie Trice also replied: “Congratulations Hailie,” and Skylar Grey said: “Congrats honey stunning.”

But that’s not all from the ceremony, according to TMZ, Hailie and Eminem enjoyed a father-daughter dance during the occasion, which was held at a lavish venue in Battle Creek, Michigan. Eminem’s mother, Debbie Nelson, who is registered on X (formerly Twitter) as @heartandsoul777, retweeted her friend Amanda Gardner’s post with the caption: “My son hasn’t slow danced. 🙂 Give him E for effort. Love you son And Hailey. Congrats.” Check out the tweet below:

Hailie dances with Eminem at her wedding

Yesterday, Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade Scott, married her fiancé Evan McClintock in Battle Creek, Michigan. As TMZ reports, the ceremony was modestly sized with close friends and family.

Of course, that meant Papa Bear himself was also there and TMZ got some awesome shots that show him soaking in Hailie’s big day, with the two of them sharing a dance!

As you can see, Slim Shady was suited and booted as he led Hailie, who looked absolutely beautiful in her bridal gown, on the dance floor, with a ton of people looking on. Hailie was flashing a big smile and Eminem was true to his name, rockin’ classic sunglasses.

Another photo shows Em posing next to Hailie and Evan together at the wedding venue, Greencrest Manor and everybody is radiating, especially, Hailie, who’s in all-white… It’s certainly a happy ending for Hailie and Evan who’ve been together as a couple since 2016 and who got engaged last February, with some fantastic shots capturing the moment.

Hailie, who’s 28 now, and a successful podcaster/social media influencer, has been the apple of Eminem’s eye for many years, having been name-dropped in countless songs of his, with Em making it known that he’s a protective dad and would do anything for her.

We know Em’s proud of Hailie and her life path and obviously, since he was there for the wedding, we know he approves of Evan as a hubby for his kid. Now, he’s got a son-in-law. Pretty crazy to think she’s all grown up and off to start her own family. Things really do come full circle — and Em clearly meant what he said when he rapped about getting her anything she wanted. Indeed, it’s Hailie’s Song, only here — it’s “Here Comes the Bride.”

Check out the pictures and videos. Reportedly, 50 Cent was also present at wedding. [STAY TUNED WE ARE UPATING ARTICLE WITH MORE PICTURES AND VIDEOS]

Stephen Colbert promotes The Death Of Slim Shady & invites Eminem at his show

Stephen Colbert has recently promoted Eminem’s new album on his THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT and invited the Detroit legend for an interview to promote his much-anticipated project.

“Folks, everybody who knows me, knows I’m big into hip-hop, the rippity raps as we call it, which is why I was personally devastated to learn that an obituary has appeared in Detroit Free Press for Eminem’s fictional alter ego Slim Shady. If only the authorities had thought to contact his doctor but sadly they Forgot About Dre.” said Stephen Colbert.

He then continued: “Now, the heartless buzzards of the media industry out there claim that Eminem is just running this fake obituary to promote his upcoming album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe De Grace). Mnem, as he as repeatedly asked me not to call him, is it true artist, he would never stoop to emotionally manipulating his fans for a few streams, plus no major media figure is going to be dumb enough to fall for this obit and promote The Death Of Slim Shady (Coupe De Grace), available later this summer (Come on this show, call me).”

“No, this obit is real and can mean only one thing, Will The Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up? Now I’m Slim Shady. Yes, I’m the real Shady, all the other Slim Shadys are just imitating. Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? Which mean all the royalties for the music should be sent to The Real Slim Shady care of Stephen Colbert, Ed Sullivan Theater, New York, New York. Or just go to Times Square and look for the building with my name on it.” Stephen Colbert added. You can watch the monologue below:

Diddy’s son King Combs disses 50 Cent in a new song

Hip-hop world is at war right now. Diss tracks comes out every day and the latest installment is from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ son King Combs.

Last night, King Combs released a song called “Pick a Side,” which references federal agents’ raid of his father’s two homes back in March, 2024 and 50 Cent’s continuous social media posts on the Bad Boy Entertainment founder’s recent legal trouble.

“Police raid the crib like they think we selling crack, but we out here selling tracks / Multimillion dollar plaques,” the 26-year-old raps in one verse. In another verse referencing the raid, he raps: “Knock these doors down like them feddy boys running both our cribs / Too bad they ain’t know we bought the one next door cause that’s the one they missed.”

Diverting his attention to 50 Cent, King Combs raps, “When all they had was 50 Cent who put this city on the map? Stop lyin’…Pops been hated on by many men and that’s fine/ They gon’ try to stop these M’s and they gon’ die tryin’,” referencing 50 Cent’s classic song “Many Men” and album debut album “Get Rich or Die Tryin.'”

50 Cent was quick to respond on Instagram with sarcasm, captioning one photo of King Combs and Diddy: “I feel so threatened by the things Christian is saying on his record. I’m afraid for my life, please don’t hurt me guys. I never mentioned or posted anything about Puffy’s kids because KEEFE D said he killed 2Pac. LOL.”

In another post, the Fif wrote: “Now why would you say some s–t like this when you know the FEDS are investigating. IS YOU STUPID OR IS YOU DUMB? LOL.” He followed with yet another Instagram post, this time with screenshots of media coverage, and wrote, “I really don’t understand why they want to drug women, if she can’t remember how good it was the next morning. How do you connect ?”

Symba calls Eminem GOAT, names his favorite Em verse, says he learned a lot from Em

Couple of years ago, San Francisco Bay Area, California-born rapper Symba, who was cosigned by Dr. Dre by posting his freestyle on Instagram with the caption: “One of my new favorites,” did an interview on Revolt where he declared himself better rapper than Eminem: “I respect Eminem on a level as a man but as a rapper… I feel like I could name five better rappers. The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show. It’s fire. It’s fire but you want my honest opinion? Yes, I’m better than Eminem. Anybody can rhyme words. What are you saying? Hey, the girl that’s yelling, rap me an Eminem verse! She got quiet.”

During a recent episode of Connect The Dots podcast Symba responded to a backlash: “Shout out to Marshall Mathers. If you ask any NBA player who’s better than him, they gonna say nobody. It’s a competitive spirit that we have. Now, that does not take away from the legend and an icon and all the work Eminem has put in. But I was asked the question and they gut the clip up at certain way that made it look like I was going at one of the GOATs. But it was not that at all.” said Symba.

Then he continued: “I respect Em. I got a lot of respect for Em. Learned a lot from him. I worked with Dr. Dre and Dre told me a lot about Em. But when they were asking me, I don’t feel like nobody in this world is better than me as a rapper. That’s just how I feel. But shout out to GOAT Em.”

Later in the interview, Symba named his favorite Eminem verse and revealed that he learned a lot from Slim Shady: “My favorite verse is ‘Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me but in this industry I’m a cause of a lot of envy so when I’m not put on this list, this s–t not offend me, that’s why you see me walk around like nothing’s bothering me.’ Eminem taught me how to have character. So, the whole narrative of Symba don’t like Eminem, that’s false. That’s cap. I learned a lot from Em.” You can watch the interview below:

Luis Resto says Eminem goes back to his hard-hitting roots on new album

Speaking to The National after his performance at Mutek.AE music and design festival last week in Dubai, iconic pianist Luis Resto, Eminem‘s long-time collaborator, says the Detroit legend’s much-anticipated new album will have him going back to his hard-hitting roots. He also revealed that he has been contributing sporadically to Slim Shady’s new album since 2021.

“I do have a notion of things judging by what I have seen and heard across the last three years and if I have to give you a forecast, you are going to hear a whole nod back to some of his original creative areas. He is talking about where he came from and where he is now. So it is really a hodgepodge musically of ideas and influences.” says Luis Resto.

Resto’s contribution continues his long-standing relationship Em, stemming back to 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP. Although that record had him contributing minimally, it was from 2002’s follow up The Eminem Show that Resto scored song-writing credits on each of Eminem’s album and associated soundtracks. The work includes co-writing and producing chart-topping hits such as 2004’s Toy Soldiers, 2010’s Grammy Award-winning Not Afraid and 2020’s Godzilla. The track record also includes the wildly successful 2002 track Lose Yourself from 8 Mile, a film that starred Eminem. The song earned the duo, alongside co-producer and writer Jeff Bass, an Oscar for Best Original Song in 2003.

Resto recalls writing the dramatic string section when recording the track in a makeshift studio on the film set in Eminem’s hometown Detroit: “Marshall led that session and I remember he kept saying how the song felt too rock ‘n’ roll and he wanted us to really rebuild the song and take it in a different direction. And this is where I got to use my orchestral chops and added piano, French horns, flutes and strings. I love the hip-hip ethos in general because a lot of it is based on using your ear and feeling your way through songs.

“Now I personally have knowledge of music theory and I am well-versed on how it all works but working with people like Eminem and 50 Cent is a much more open session. It’s not based on major or minor chords or what is correct or not. It’s based on whether it sounds dope or not. Sometimes we are in the studio and they would look at us and wonder if what they are doing is right. And from my experience, I would tell them that it depends on what context you are asking me. If you are asking me theoretically, then I could say that this is not the right note and then what happens is the minute we change it to the correct note, the song is not as cool as it sounds. We often change it back again because they knew what they wanted in the first place.”

“I went out on the road with him around 2011 and quickly realized that he needed a more youthful culture projected on stage. I remember at that time I always wore my hair long and I went grey so early in life that I was done dyeing it. So when one of the roadies asked me if I was going to dye it, I understood the band really needed to look for somebody different. There was absolutely no offence taken because my relationship with Eminem continued and the work flowed.” Luis Resto added.
