Battle rappers, 50 Cent, Russ, Twista & more react to new Eminem album “The Death of Slim Shady”

Eminem dropped The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) album and while critics did not favor the project, hip-hop community who appreciate the lyrics, concept and multisyllable rhymes were impressed by the first Eminem album in 4 years.

Battle rapper A. Ward tweeted: “One thing I believe is not up for debate is…. Eminem is the Greatest Rhymer Ever.” Another battle rapper Mike P said: “21 for 21. Album Of The Year. One of the best albums Eminem has ever made… Holy s—t.” Battle rapper Real Sikh tweeted: I f–k with the “Dream” concept on Eminem new album. You hear alarm clocks and him waking up from a nightmare throughout the album, so most of the album is him dreaming.”

Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. tweeted: “OMFG, Eminem, I can’t wait to bump this s–t in the car. This mother–ker going crazy.” One of the fans commented: “This is why I hate rap now. It’s all about lyrics and reading between the lines. Tupac just made simple dope a-s songs like Dear Mama, I Get Around, Toss It Up. You did not have to rewind 10 times to get it.” On that, Jackson Jr. replied: “This is the problem. Motherf—kers been eating fast food for so long they don’t know when a good meal is prepared for them.”

AJ Francis said: “Eminem lyrically is the greatest rapper ever. His song style is not for everyone, and some of the stuff he says makes people uncomfortable, but if we talking about lyrical breakdown… He’s the GOAT.” Ren said: “Can’t explain how happy the new Eminem album makes me. Feel like when I listened to The Marshall Mathers LP for the first time. Goosebumps.” Dax tweeted: “New Eminem album is fire.”

Hip-hop YouTuber Stevie Knight ranked the album inside Em’s top three projects. He said “The Eminem Show, The Marshall Mathers LP, The Death of Slim Shady. Top 3 Eminem albums of all time no specific order.” Terrell Mallory said: “This is what I will say… Eminem showed as he always does, that he can REALLY RAP better than MOST.” His brother said: “We listened to The Death Of Slim Shady and Eminem is insane honestly. We caught a LOT of bars. can’t wait for y’all to see what we caught first listen… The man can rap and has a sick mind indeed but at what cost? Either way, I think it was a solid project and concept, but I also understand some hating it. Also let me say the “concept” of him killing “Slim Shady” and how his evilness has fueled his career but also hurt him in the same way. The world changed and he didn’t type s–t. That aside, he said some real offensive s–t on the album and the “concept” doesn’t excuse that.”

One of the users asked Russ to share his opinion on the album. Russ responded: “hiiiiiiigh level rapping abilities. Favorite Em album in a minute.” 50 Cent also tweeted: “Yo Eminem, s–t is crazy. It takes me a while to understand the details of this one.” Pakistan decedent Detroit rapper Lazarus quotes Eminem’s Pakistan line and said that new Eminem album is fire. Surprisingly for me, XXL magazine tweeted: “Eminem is 51 years old and seriously hasn’t lost a step.”

Rap community was also impressed by JID’s verse on “Fuel.” Token said: “JID lost his mind on that Em song.” Mickey Factz tweeted: “Yea this JID verse is candidate for feature verse of the year… along with Kendrick on Like That. Wow good s–t bro.” Director Mike Chehadé said: “Just so everyone knows the JID feature on the new Eminem album didn’t happen overnight. Their relationship started at the beginning of J.I.D’s career. I remember calling J.I.D years ago after he dropped The Never Story. He told me Em and Mos Def had reached out to show love and support. Even back then the greats saw what we’re all witnessing now from J.I.D… Scary part is he’s just getting started!” Twista said “I need to spit a verse on the Fuel song” and tagged Eminem on X.

Is Eminem’s “The Death of Slim Shady” album in reverse?

Eminem returned with 12th solo studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), first since 2020’s Music To Be Murdered By. The title, of course, references the Detroit legend’s troublemaking alter ego, Slim Shady, who runs wild on many of Marshall’s biggest hits.

The Death of Slim Shady features the previously released singles “Houdini”—which rode a Steve Miller Band sample to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on Billboard Global 200 —and “Tobey,” with fellow Detroit rappers BabyTron and Big Sean. Guests on the LP include White Gold, Bizarre, Sly Pyper, Dem Jointz, Skylar Grey, Jelly Roll, and Ez Mil.

The Death Of Slim Shady is a concept album and Eminem warned fans to listen to it in order to make a complete sense: “Public service announcement: the “death of slim shady” is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense. Enjoy.” he tweeted on X (formerly Twitter). Supposedly, Eminem kills Slim Shady but if you listen to the album in reverse, it’s a different story.

One of the fans on X, @Pecora_boy123, posted a theory that the entire album is in reverse. “TDOSS BACK TO FRONT TELLS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY!!!” he said. Then he continued: “Somebody Save Me – foreshadowing Marshall’s death. Guess Who’s Back- foreshadowing the return of Slim Shady. Tobey- sometimes s–t just does not pan out, Shady shadow shows up. Bad One – “one minute you are here the next you are gone” it seems like Marsh’s job is done he pulled off his stunt. Temporary – his letter to Hailie before he dies (hint). Head Hancho- “writing is on the wall” “Ezekiel” the story of Ezekiel, and remembrance on creation day, Marshall’s creation day would be Slim Shady! “you’ll be a Stan till I die, though (Dido)”

The theory continues with: “Guilty Conscience 2 – Slim Shady laughs after Paul hangs up on him, showing it wasn’t a dream. Breaking News- Slim Shady is showing Marshall all the s–t he has just started. Slim Shady laughs viciously at the end. Houdini- Paul calls back and says good luck. This is his rebuttal to Marshall calling him and he thinks that Marshall is f–king with him because he’s on this tangent again. “What you thought you saw ain’t what you saw” this will come back into play later. Road Rage – Slim dyes Marshall’s hair blonde again. Hence Marshall rapping like a blonde hair version of himself the rest of the way. Fuel – “the reapers coming to heathen and I need it from ME”. Antichrist- “cobain put the gauge to his brain I’m goin out with a bang aye”(Marshall voice)

Lucifer – (switching between Marsh and Slim) first I must weave rhymes, then I’mma leave eyes in a state of disbelief.” A set up for the finale of this all. (STARTS TO GET REALLY GOOD). All You Got- Slim telling Marshall he ain’t s–t without him. (notice Marshall’s weariness and tone) at this point Slim has completely taken over. Hence the opening of Evil – “woke up with an attitude today, Not in the mood to play.” Stuck in my ruthless ways I refuse to change, nothing to lose or gain, GUESS I JUST CHOOSE TO STAY”(BIG FORESHADOW). BRAND NEW DANCE – Shady just said he’s so evil, so he’s gonna show it by making a whole song s–tting on reeves. TROUBLE SKIT – “ALRIGHT HERE, DRINK THIS.” DRINK IT B–CH.” He just drugged Marshall!! “LET ME GO YOU B–CH” Marshall says as he’s tied up. THEN SHADY SAYS. ”LITTLE PU-SY WHATS WRONG? THOUGHT YOU WERE DREAMING HUH?”

BINGO!!!!!!!! HABITS – you can hear Marshall struggling as he’s tied up and gagged. Slim is telling him to eat a pill of some sort to knock him out. RENAISSANCE – SLIM BURIES MARSHALL!!! SPITS ON HIS GRAVE!!! Slim proceeds to spit his first song, without the person that started it all for him, Marshall Mathers. Straight vintage Slim Shady on the track, teasing what’s about to be unleashed on the world with SIDE B! Listen to the album in reversed order below. What y’all say?!

42 Dugg defends Eminem’s GOAT status

One of the hottest Detroit rappers, 42 Dugg may understand why his fellow rapper Skilla Baby made the claim that people in Detroit don’t view Eminem as one of their greatest of all time, but he doesn’t agree with that judgement.

Earlier this month, Skilla Baby appeared on the Baby This is Keke Palmer podcast, where he made his claim about Slim Shady while discussing who is the best rapper from the Motor City: “Numbers wise, Eminem is the best Detroit rapper but the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit. Everybody had a turn being Detroit’s favorite rapper. Sada Baby had a turn, Tee Grizzley had a turn, Babyface Ray had a turn, Veeze is one of Detroit’s best rappers, Baby Smoove. Everybody had their turn being the best in the city. What we lack is consistency. Nobody has consistently been Detroit’s favorite rapper. Numbers wise, it’s Eminem but nobody in Detroit is playing Eminem right now and I was an Eminem fan as a kid. I’m a fan of Eminem but do we consider him our best rapper? I don’t think Detroit does.”

During speaking on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God, 42 Dugg was asked about Skilla’s statement. While he said he was unaware that the statement had been made, he offered an explanation as to why younger hip-hop generation might feel that way: “That’s probably how they feel. The new kids don’t even know about him. How would they? You have to really be music person to go back… I know. That’s always my card when somebody get to bringing up somebody from somewhere else, I’m like, ‘We got Eminem.’ I feel like he the GOAT.” said 42 Dugg.

When asked if Eminem‘s music was simply not relatable to fans of street music, 42 Dugg went on to give Slim Shady his flowers as an important influence on his own music: “He made deep music. I go listen to ‘Toy Soliders’ or ‘Stan,’ those my favorite songs. So when it’s my turn to make real songs, I already damn near know how to channel it. Cuz I already know what I’m looking for: I’m looking for a ‘Stan’ type of song.” You can watch the clip below:

Machine Gun Kelly appears to be responding to Eminem’s new diss

Slim Shady really didn’t hold back when he smoked Machine Gun Kelly with his 2018 diss-track called “Killshot,” and for a lot of people that was the final blow in a beef between the two.

But six years on, Eminem has just released a new album and it seems like he’s coming for Kelly all over again. “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” arrived on Jyly 12, 2024 after Em gave us a taste of his new tracks with the singles “Houdini” and “Tobey,” featuring Big Sean and BabyTron.

The album, which he promoted with a picture of a gravestone, focuses on Eminem’s Slim Shady alter-ego and draws attention to some of the controversies he’s been involved with in the past, before the Detroit legend indicates that he’s leaving that part of himself behind. That’s not to say he’s forgiving and forgetting everything that came before, though.

In the song titled “Bad One,” featuring White Gold, Eminem makes reference to his beef with Kelly as he raps: “But I gotta keep going Tyson on Kelly / I bodied him twice and already / That little motherf***er’s back throwing subs like a food fight at the deli.”

The track officially reignites the feud between the two rappers, and fans are loving it. In a Reddit thread about ‘Bad One’, one user commented: “Mgk gettin buried again is hilarious [sic].” Another said: “That Mgk diss was slick on “Bad One” I can’t even lie. Eminem will never stop beating on him.” Others praised the song as a whole, with one fan describing it as ‘fire’.

Several hours after the album dropped, Machine Gun Kelly hit X (formerly Twitter) to seemingly respond to Eminem’s name-drop. “G.O.M.D.” MGK tweeted. It’s an acronym for the statement “Get Off My D–k,” popularized by J. Cole. With everything that’s going on around his boss Diddy and considering the past beet with Rap God, Machine Gun Kelly probably thinks the best course for him is to make a cryptic tweet and get done with it.

 

Lisa Ann responds Jelly Roll’s heartfelt letter to Eminem

Eminem sampled Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” on his latest studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace). Jelly Roll checked a historic item off his bucket list when notching a collaboration with Eminem on “Somebody Save Me,” which served as closer track for new album that brought tears to many fans around the world and his excitement caught attention of Lisa Ann.

Hours after the track made waves on streaming services, Jelly Roll reflected on it in an emotional post on Instagram about having the chance to contribute to one of his childhood hero’s projects. “I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem. As a teenager (and still today) I could recite every song on the Slim Shady album, the Marshal Mathers album and the Eminem show.” said Jelly Roll.

Then he continued: “When I bonded out of jail at 17 years old and was sneaking into cyphers and battles in Nashville they would also play the “lose yourself” beat when I came out on stage at the freestyle battles. I related to every word Eminem wrote. I understand him and felt like he understood me, which was rare cause I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood. So you can imagine how I felt when I got that the call that Eminem would be sampling my song “Save Me” on his new album. And for him to use the song to discuss the other side of what could’ve happened if he would’ve allowed his demons to win brought me to tears.”

“If you haven’t heard it yet , check out “Somebody Save Me” on Eminem’s new album “the death of slim shady” special shout out to Paul Rosenberg , you’ve been nothing but kind to me and treated me like family and gave me opportunities I didn’t deserve, forever grateful.” Jelly Roll added.

Nashville, Tennessee-born singer also hit X (formerly Twitter) to briefly share his emotions: “I can’t believe I’m on Eminem’s album.” He tweeted. Lisa Ann, a former adult film star, who has previously worked with Eminem on “We Made You” music video, replied: “I say the same about being in his video for “We Made You”.

Candace Owens fires back at Eminem after “Lucifer” & “Bad One” disses

Candace Owens responds to Eminem after the Detroit icon dissed her on 12th solo studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).

On the track titled “Lucifer,” Slim Shady throws shots at the conservative pundit, spitting the lines, “And Candace O, I ain’t mad at her (Ah) / I ain’t gon’ throw the fact b–ch forgot she was Black back at her / Laugh at her like them crackers she’s backin’ after her back is turned / In a cute MAGA hat with her brand-new White Lives Matter shirt (Haha, nope) / Or say this MAGA dirtbag in a skirt / Just opened the biggest can of worms on the whole planet Earth / Call her “Grand Wizard” (Yeah), “Klandace” (Haha), or “Grand Dragon,” or Like the national anthem, I won’t stand for the tramp (Why?) / But I can’t diss her ’cause my plans are to get in her pants and I’ll blow my chance if I answer back to her.”

Elsewhere on The Death of Slim Shady, the 15-time Grammy winner bashes Owens — a supporter of Donald Trump and a critic of Black Lives Matter — once again on the song “Bad One,” where he raps: “Yeah, this whole sub-genre with all these corny white rappers, I’m not a fan of it / It ain’t my fault, but like sock puppets, I had a hand in it / This thousand bucks in my hand is just like what Candace did / When she turned her back on her own race ’cause I have abandoned it…”

Shortly after the album dropped on Friday (July 12, 2024), Owens addressed the disses on her YouTube channel in an eight-minute diatribe, calling Eminem a “lefty elitist” who is “cosplaying a race that you aren’t.” “You’re so irrelevant, your music isn’t good anymore,” she added, dubbing Em “granddad Shady.” “He is a lesson to a lot of people out there that you need to know when it’s time for you to retire.”

This isn’t the first time Eminem and Owens have clashed. In August 2023, she criticized Marshall’s age and speculated about his sexuality after he sent a cease-and-desist letter to then-Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy for using his music while campaigning. “Some people also say that when we get older we get grayer. We know that’s true,” Owens said in a video on her YouTube channel. “But for Eminem, the once hardcore rapper, it seems that he is getting older and gayer. Yes, Eminem might be gay.”

Jelly Roll pens heartfelt letter to Eminem after being featured on his new album

Jelly Roll‘s “Save Me” song gets another life on Eminem‘s new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace), which dropped Friday (July 12, 2024) and features a surprise duet with the country star on its final track, an emotional open letter to his daughters.

The song, titled “Somebody Save Me,” heavily samples Jelly’s 2023 hit song, which reached No. 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts in November after Lainey Wilson jumped on the remix of the song.

Eminem sings about his addiction to prescription medication, which almost led to his death via overdose in 2007. In this song, he is apologizing for not being there for the people in his life, especially for his kids, during his addiction period. This song is very similar to “Arose,” a song off of Em’s 2017 album Revival, in which he talks about his drug addiction and how it affected his family and people around him.

Jelly Roll checked a historic item off his bucket list when notching a collaboration with Eminem on “Somebody Save Me,” which served as The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)‘s poignant closer track that brought tears to many fans around the world.

Hours after the track made waves on streaming services, Jelly Roll reflected on it in an emotional post to social media about having the chance to contribute to one of his childhood hero’s projects. “I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem. As a teenager (and still today) I could recite every song on the Slim Shady album, the Marshal Mathers album and the Eminem show.” said Jelly Roll.

Then he continued: “When I bonded out of jail at 17 years old and was sneaking into cyphers and battles in Nashville they would also play the “lose yourself” beat when I came out on stage at the freestyle battles. I related to every word Eminem wrote. I understand him and felt like he understood me, which was rare cause I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood. So you can imagine how I felt when I got that the call that Eminem would be sampling my song “Save Me” on his new album.

“If you haven’t heard it yet , check out “Somebody Save Me” on Eminem’s new album “the death of slim shady” special shout out to Paul Rosenberg , you’ve been nothing but kind to me and treated me like family and gave me opportunities I didn’t deserve, forever grateful.” Jelly Roll added.

The Nashville-bred star met Eminem for the first time before hitting the stage together outside the Michigan Central Station venue last month. The heartfelt embrace was captured by Jelly’s wife, Bunnie XO. “When the goat meets THE GOAT,” she captioned the clip soundtracked by Eminem’s “My Name Is.” Jelly Roll joined Em on stage where they performed Slim Shady’s Aerosmith-sampling iconic track “Sing For the Moment.”

JID shows love to Eminem after being featured on new album

Eminem has always been someone who is never afraid to air things out on his albums, so it is no surprise he is doing it again on a song called “Fuel”. This is one of 19 tracks off the Detroit legend’s highly-anticipated 12th solo studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). The song is produced by Denaun Porter, Teeba, Eminem and Luis Resto and features JID, a collaboration that makes a lot of sense on paper. Both have elite pen games, and their uniquely diverse flows are almost always engaging. Thankfully, the track really comes together in all phases, and it makes “Fuel” one of the major highlights of the album.

So, what is Eminem getting into on this cut? Well, with him being one of the most intimidating figures in the genre, it is not wise to diss him. For example, the hip-hop community saw what happened to Machine Gun Kelly after “Rap Devil.” MGK said his album flopped because of Eminem feud and changed the genre. It seems the hate gives Em extra juice to unleash on any competitor that tries to step to him, and its why naming this song “Fuel” is such a W. However, what also makes this track fun is that Eminem is playing the role of the instigator. He is coming for Diddy’s neck and does so in a clever manner. He starts of the series of bars with, “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R (Yeah) / Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As (Huh) / Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, “Rapper” and leave out a P, did he? (Yep)”

JID’s verse was also highly praised in the hip-hop community. “Just so everyone knows the JID feature on the new Eminem album didn’t happen overnight their relationship started at the beginning of J.I.D’s career. I remember calling J.I.D years ago after he dropped The Never Story he told me Em and Mos Def had reached out to show love/support. Even back then the greats saw what we’re all witnessing now from J.I.D…scary part is he’s just getting started!” said creative director Mike Chehadé. ”

“JID lost his mind on that Em song.” said Token. “Yea this JID verse is candidate for feature verse of the year… along with Kendrick on Like That. Wow good s–t bro.” said Mickey Factz. “Eminem WORDPLAY wise is the best ever. It’s not even close also. Yeah his delivery is hit or miss, but the way he flips words and uses them with multis is unmatched. JID verse on Fuel is exceptional also.” said Jay from Cypher Clique.

It was one of the biggest highlights of his career for Dreamville’s heavy-hitter. “I’m f–king honored !! Thank you @eminem u are truly legendary.” wrote JID on his Instagram. “You went CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY.” Royce 5’9″ commented. Symbolyc one also replied “U different bro!” Metro Boomin commented fire emojis. “This is f–kin FIRE!!!!” commented Reason, former TDE artist. 6lack commented: “bucket listed” and Rapsody and Dreamville’s Bas responded with fire emojis.

“my hip hop heart is happy :)” he also tweeted few hours ago. Check out the post below:

Eminem calls out corny white rappers on “Bad One”, disses MGK, namedrops Kanye West

Eminem’s 12th solo studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is finally here and it’s as controversial as ever. “Bad One,” featuring White Gold is one of the tracks where Em talks A LOT.

In the third verse of the song, Eminem calls out corny white rappers who imitate him and checked Candace Owens too: “Yeah, this whole sub-genre with all these corny white rappers, I’m not a fan of it / It ain’t my fault, but like sock puppets, I had a hand in it / This thousand bucks in my hand is just like what Candace did / When she turned her back on her own race ’cause I have abandoned it.” Candace Owens is a political commentator known for her controversial views on race and politics, often accused of betraying her own community.

Eminem also namedropped Ye (Kanye West) with the following lines: “Brain is dead, space cadet / Like when Ye forgets to take his meds / So when they get mad or angry at / A statement that I may have said / I just say, “Man, I didn’t say that s–t, Shady did / ‘Cause all I do is write the rhymes and then wait for that beat to play, spit ’em…”

Em also threw shots at Machine Gun Kelly at the end of the third verse: “Mission accomplished, people off this stunt / And pissed a billion people off at once (Yeah) / But I gotta keep going Tyson on Kelly (What?) / I bodied him twice already / That little motherf–ker’s back throwing subs (Like what?) like a food fight at the deli / And that is why E got (EGOT) the attitude he got like Liza Minnelli / My male ego / Is the size of the belly on Jelly Roll…”

In the last couple of years, MGK would subliminally re-ignite the beef by sending subliminal shots at Em. He also recently said that Eminem didn’t win the battle. Shady seemingly responds him by saying he’s “going Tyson” on Kelly, which is a common phrase for winning. “Tyson” is a call to Mike Tyson, who is one of the most well-renowned fighters in history. As far as the following lines, an EGOT is the term for someone who has won all of the major American performing arts awards (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony). Liza Minnelli became an EGOT winner in 1990.

Right before those lines, Em also made a reference to incident between Diddy and Kid Cudi that happened in 2012: “The people still seem to think they want the old me ’til they get him / Got ’em up in arms like monkey bars / The f–king bomb with the Puffy on / I’m blowing up for Kid Cudi’s car / In front of his house where all his buddies are / Just another day at the office, but it seems like Marsh’s f–king job is done.” Puff blew up Kid Cudi’s car in New York because Diddy thought Ciara was cheating on him with Cudi.

A lot to comprehend? Just enjoy the music below then:

Eminem shouts out Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Joyner Lucas & Wu-Tang on “Renaissance”

On Friday (July 12, 2024),  after 4 years break, Eminem returned with 12th solo  studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe de Grâce). The project opens with the intro track titled “Renaissance,” which finds Slim Shady name-dropping several rappers, giving them credits

“Now let’s travel inside the mind of a hater / ‘Cause I don’t see no fans, all I see’s a bunch of complainers / ‘Kendrick‘s album was cool, but it didn’t have any bangers / Wayne‘s album or Ye‘s, couldn’t tell you which one was lamer / Joyner’s album was corny, Shady’s new s–t is way worse / Everything is either too tame or there’s too much anger / I didn’t like the beat, so I hated Might Delete Later‘ / You nerdy pricks would find somethin’ wrong with 36 Chambers / It’s what they do to the greats / Pick apart a Picasso and make excuses to hate / So you can wait for your flowers until you’re blue in the face / Stupid, you ain’t gonna get ’em until your funeral.” raps Eminem.

Some hip-hop fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, believe the lyrics are shots at K-Dot and others namedropped but Em is clearly giving credit to them. He’s obviously speaking in the third person through the outlook of a hater and is not dissing Dot or the other MCs he named. However, the same can’t be said for Ja Rule who catches a stray on the song “Guilty Conscience 2.”

Eminem throws shots at Diddy on a new song, featuring JID

Eminem has just unleashed his 12th solo studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe de Grâce), and in true Slim Shady fashion, he is calling out Diddy for the sexual assault allegations against him on the song titled “Fuel” featuring one and only JID, produced by Denaun Porter.

On the new 21-track project, Em returns to his menacing ways and takes aim at Diddy on the track called “Fuel” featuring JID. “Do not test like an essay (Why?)/’Cause like where my homies out West, aye (Yeah)/ We can just say (What?)/I’m like an R-A-P-E-R/I got so many S-As/S-As/Wait, he didn’t just spell the word rapper and leave out a ‘P’, did he?/Yup/R-I-P, rest in peace, Biggie/And ’Pac, both of y’all should be living/Yup, but I ain’t tryna beef with him ’cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D, get him/And that’s the only way you’re gonna be killing me (Nah)
Ain’t gonna be on no beat, silly (Yeah),” Eminem raps.

The specific lyrics “I’m like an R-A-P-E-R/I got so many S-As/S-As/Wait, he didn’t just spell the word rapper and leave out a ‘P’, did he?” refer to Diddy’s nickname from the 1990s, P. Diddy, and the many sexual assault allegations that have been filed against him. Since last November, there have been eight lawsuits alleging rape, sexual assault, sex trafficking and violence at the hands of the disgraced rap mogul, among other accusations. One lawsuit filed by Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie, was settled out of court.

Elsewhere in the song, Eminem mentions horrible incident between Halyna Hutchins and Alec Baldwin: “F–k around and get popped like Halyna Hutchins, Like I’m Alec Baldwin.” Halyna Hutchins was a Ukrainian cinematographer. She worked on more than 30 feature-length films, short films, and TV miniseries, including the films Archenemy, Darlin’, and Blindfire. On October 21, 2021, during production on the set of the film Rust, she was accidentally shot and killed by a bullet from a real gun being used as a movie prop discharged by Alec Baldwin that was not properly checked… You can bump the new song below:

Eminem drops “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” album

Eminem’s highly anticipated 12th solo studio album “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” is finally here!

Whether as Marshall Mathers or Slim Shady, Eminem never fails to make a strong impression. His discography regularly documents a struggle between the Detroit-bred rap superstar’s two outspoken personas, an artistic battle followed closely by his most ardent and attentive fans, while pitchfork-wielding outsiders and his more casual listeners never bothered to discern the difference. The willfully profane Slim and the comparatively less sacrilegious Marshall compose a dramaturgical dyad that makes each of his album releases feel like blockbusters. That said, the stakes feel dramatically high on The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), its title the most thematically loaded of his two-and-a-half-decade career.

If this does end up the genuine final curtain call for Eminem’s most notorious alter ego, he makes it a point to execute it on his own controversy-baiting terms, whether people like it or not. Addressing his detractors head-on, “Habits” defensively dismantles criticisms both internal and external, taking personal inventory while decrying political correctness. Cancel culture and wokeness as existential threats stay front of mind throughout, looming particularly large over the combative “Antichrist” and the Dr. Dre co-produced “Lucifer”. Repeated references to Caitlyn Jenner won’t quell the perpetual homophobia accusations Eminem has long faced, but on songs like “Evil” and “Road Rage” he at least aims to clarify his positions amid his characteristically clever wordplay.

Naturally, Slim isn’t about to go out quietly. Ever the eager pugilist, he exploits his upper hand with Fight Club panache on “Brand New Dance” and “Trouble”. The character’s antagonism vacillates between self-destructive outbursts and strategic gaslighting, gleefully poking at touchy topics on “Houdini” and assigning we’re-in-this-together complicity to Marshall on the surprise sequel “Guilty Conscience 2”. Yet even as the tragicomically intertwined foes grapple with one another, the album still makes room for something as personal as “Temporary”, a heartfelt message to his daughter for after he’s gone. With the added benefit of a few unexpected cameos, including Michigan-repping cut “Tobey” with Big Sean and BabyTron, the over-the-top theatricality driving The Death of… feels like fan service, giving his longtime patrons the Eminem show they’ve come to expect from him.
