It’s very rare to see Eminem popping up for a live performance these days. The often reclusive Rap God has been more visible lately as he promotes his latest chart-topping album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), including a totally surprising hop-up in London on Thursday night (July 18, 2024) to support his long-time friend and mentor Dr. Dre.
Slim Shady surprised the crowd at the launch event for Doctor’s new canned drinks line with Snoop Dogg, called Gin & Juice, when he jumped on stage at Flippers Boogie Palace to join the party hosted by former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal. But first, Dre and Snoop rolled through a set of some of their most beloved songs, including “The Next Episode,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “Nuthin’ But a G Thang” at the event attended by celebrities like LeBron James, Idris Elba, Virgil Van Dijk and Jude Bellingham among others.
Near the end of the set Dre introduced Eminem, who ripped through the first single from The Death of Slim Shady, “Houdini” with Denaun Porter before they kicked “Forgot About Dre” togther. Em shared the video of his “Houdini” performance on his official YouTube channel.
Though Em has not announced a run of dates to support his new album, he will appear alongside Muse, Thirty Seconds to Mars and Richie Hawtin at this year’s Soundstorm festival in Saudi Arabia in December. Before that, Eminem is set to perform at Crawford/Madrimov fight night on August 2 and he and Sting will headline the Germania Insurance Super Stage at the 2024 Formula 1 Pirelli United States Grand Prix on October 18-20th!
Meanwhile, you can watch the “Houdini” performance below:
Eminem’s latest music video for the single “Houdini” from The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) album is out, and among the millions viewing the banger is the family of the OG Batman Adam West, who loved the Detroit legend’s salute to his work. In the music video, Eminem is back in the ol’ Robin outfit he was wearing back in 2002 when “Without Me” from The Eminem Show album rocketed to No. 1 on the charts.
In a recent conversation with TMZ, Nina Tooley, West’s daughter, said her dad would have loved the video, which in the family’s opinion spoke to the enduring brilliance of the TV show and her father’s version of the Caped Crusader. Nina said while she was watching Eminem’s new video, she could hear her dad’s distinct chuckle when Slim Shady was trying to scale a building with the Bat Rope, just like Adam West and costar Burt Ward did in the series.
Directed by long-running collaborator Rich Lee (“Not Afraid,” “The Monster,” “Venom,” etc.), the innovative “Houdini” video freely calls back to classic Eminem videos such as Joseph Khan’s “Without Me” and Phillip Atwell’s “Real Slim Shady”. “Houdini” is packed with cameos including Dr. Dre, Pete Davidson, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, Grip, Westside Boogie, Denaun Porter, Royce 5’ 9”, Paul Rosenberg, The Alchemist, EZ Mil, Ryan Keely, Samantha Mack, and comedian Shane Gillis. The generative AI used in the video was created by Metaphysic, with Jo Plaete and Chris Ume supervising production.
Rich Lee speaks on the video more by mentioning “What if Shady from the 2000s got teleported into the modern day and we got his take on what the world has become…and what if “Rap Boy” was the only person who could stop him? But, 20+ years have passed so there’s a little less stamina and some bad knees. The crazy combination of new tech that made this music video possible. We are in such an awesome time now for filmmaking, and we were able to leverage so much of the great tech we have at hand.”
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.
IT’S OFFICIAL: Eminem ’s “Houdini” debuts at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with 48.8 million streams, 4 million in radio reach and 49,000 sold, making it to sell 370,000 total units in the United States. from its release on May 31 through June 6.
For Eminem, it is 23rd career top 10 and highest-charting hit since “The Monster,” featuring Rihanna, claimed four weeks at No. 1 in December 2013-January 2014. Until Slim Shady’s latest entry, he had last reached the top 10 with “Godzilla” (featuring Juice WRLD), which debuted and peaked at No. 3 in February 2020 from Music To Be Murdered By album.
Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, notches a fourth total and consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The song, Post Malone’s sixth leader and Wallen’s second, is the first to spend at least its first four weeks on the chart at No. 1 since Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” logged its first six weeks on the ranking at the summit in January-March 2023.
“I Had Some Help” is also the first hit to spend four consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 overall in nearly a year, since Wallen’s “Last Night” linked 10 straight frames on top, of 16 total, in May-July 2023.
“Houdini” is the biggest debut song since “Love The Way You Lie,” and highest charting song since “The Monster,” for Eminem. It’s also his biggest streaming week ever for him.
Eminem has returned with “Houdini,” a hard-hitting new single accompanied by a fitting video featuring cameos from adult film stars Samantha Mack and Ryan Keely. The song gives fans the first taste of Eminem’s upcoming 12th solo studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), due out this summer.
“Houdini” is produced by Eminem himself and – continuing the theme- features a sample and interpolation of Steve Miller Band’s 1982 hit, “Abracadabra.” The accompanying clip imagines Eminem’s antagonist character Slim Shady emerging in the present day via a “portal” — and finds himself confused and unsettled by what he sees in 2024. Determined to mold the modern era into a place more suited to his unique worldview, he sets off on a mission to do exactly that. Only current day Eminem’s alter-alter ego “Rap Boy” can save the world from Shady, along with his long time mentor- the legendary Dr. Dre. In an effort to neutralize these nefarious actions things go sideways and an unholy hybrid version of Eminem is created. Dr. Dre is less than thrilled with the results and hastily leaves the hybrid Shady to continue on his own… until a wandering stranger joins in and takes the wheel. Guess who’s back, indeed.

After the release of the “Houdini” music video, both Ryan Keely and Samantha Mack responded on social media. “My time in California has blessed me with so many incredible experiences, especially within the entertainment industry. I hope I am accurately explaining how grateful I am. I’m not kidding when I say I’ve been #BlessedByTheBest I have to shout out @ryankeelytm for being so warm and welcoming and professional. She was so incredible to work with. I really admire how she oozes confidence, and elegance. She has a beautiful and powerful presence. FUNNY MEMORY: When I was sitting in Hair and Makeup preparing for the scene, I saw a list of all of the Eminem doubles they were expecting. As you can tell from the video, there are a lot! So when a charming man walked on set and introduced himself as “Ralph,” (with a wink) I just assumed he was one of the doubles! He was making funny side comments to us while he was getting notes from the Director. His quick wit had us giggling the whole time. I thought we were just mapping out the scene… It wasn’t till we started filming that I realized it was actually Eminem beside me.” said Samantha Mack in one of her Instagram posts.
“This was a pretty great day at work! I was on set for 10 1/2 hours for 2 1/2 seconds in Eminem‘s new music video. #Houdini. @ryankeelytm is so awesome to work with. She is positive and energetic and incredibly supportive and her quick wit had me in stitches all day long. She is truly beautiful inside and out. So many people fussed over us this day. From hair & makeup to wardrobe, but I have to give a very appreciative shout out to a man named Dion who followed me around holding umbrella over my head each time I had to walk between my dressing room and set… because it suddenly started hailing in California. That young man protected me from Mother Nature like his life depended on it. This film set and crew went so over and above! II’ve been on a lot of different film projects, and the way we were treated and the amount of preparation that went into this workday was well beyond impressive! California has blessed me with so many opportunities and experiences that fill my heart with gratitude and now that this video has been released, I can finally add this day on set to my list. #AttitudeOfGratitude #BlessedByTheBest. Thank you to @jamescullenb for sliding my number on over so @eminem’s people could call my people. Surround yourself with people who speak positively about you behind your back! Good attracts good, and the ripple effect is real.” Samantha Mack said in another post.
“Hey @Eminem thank you making magic happen and including me in Houdini. Surreal! So cool. Can you do one more trick and get @SynapseVpGlobal to send me my check?” said Ryan Keely on X (formerly Twitter). Someone replied: “How much time did hairdresser take to get this hair job?” On which, she responded: “Dude it was gnars! 3 bags of clip in extension and then they added a 4th bag of tape-in extensions. let’s call it the the hair-pièce de résistance.” Check the post below:
Few days ago, Eminem released “Houdini” single with a music video, directed by long-running collaborator Rich Lee (“Not Afraid,” “Rap God,” “Phenomenal,” “Walk On Water,” “The Monster,” “Venom,” “My Life”). The innovative “Houdini” video freely calls back to classic Eminem videos such as Joseph Khan’s “Without Me” and Phillip Atwell’s “Real Slim Shady”. “Houdini” is packed with cameos including Dr. Dre, Pete Davidson, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, Grip, Westside Boogie, Denaun Porter, Royce 5’ 9”, Paul Rosenberg, The Alchemist, EZ Mil, Ryan Keely, Samantha Mack, and comedian Shane Gillis. The generative AI used in the video was created by Metaphysic, with Jo Plaete and Chris Ume supervising production.
Rich Lee spoke on the video more by mentioning “What if Shady from the 2000s got teleported into the modern day and we got his take on what the world has become…and what if “Rap Boy” was the only person who could stop him? But, 20+ years have passed so theres a little less stamina and some bad knees. The crazy combination of new tech that made this music video possible. We are in such an awesome time now for filmmaking, and we were able to leverage so much of the great tech we have at hand.”
After the release of the music video, the director hit Instagram to share a quick beautiful story behind “Houdini”: “Our new Eminem video is out! Quick story! I moved to Los Angeles in 1999 and I was working as a sculptor and fabricator for Walt Disney Imagineering. I remember walking through the shop one day and some of the carpenters had the radio blasting (as that rowdy bunch usually does!) and the track that was playing was Eminem’s “My Name Is”. I remember that moment so vividly. I remember the faces of who was around, where I was standing, the smell of the workshop and Em’s voice echoing through it. I had no idea who he was at the time but it sounded so different than anything else. I literally stopped in my tracks and just stared at the radio, listening to this unhinged yet so precise voice assaulting my eardrums. I was mesmerized. I could never have predicted that 10 years later I’d be directing my first music video for him…or 20+ years later doing over a dozen projects with him. Wild.” said Rich Lee.
Then he continued: Looking at the comments on social media, the controversy, the love, the hate, etc., one thing that I’m seeing a lot of is a lot of people of my gen feeling a great sense of nostalgia for that early 2000s feeling. We obviously were leaning on some of his early iconography from that time, in a way it’s sort of a sequel to some of those videos (Are we rebooting music videos now?!). It was a lot to live up to and while challenging, it was a lot of fun to put this together.
“Anyways, I’m super lucky to be able to do this kind of work and collaborate with icons like Em. Dude is def the GOAT and totally ridiculous and fun to collaborate with! Quick thank you to the awesome team that helped get this across the finish line!” Rich Lee added.
The director also shared the ‘Eminem kids’ scene from the music video on his Instagram story with the caption: “By the way, it was crazy to shoot Eminem but to be honest it was surreal to have Hailie on our set too. Such a huge part of Eminem lore.” You can check the screenshot below:
Eminem returns with “Houdini,” a hard-hitting new single accompanied by a fitting video. Em teased the drop earlier this week in a FaceTime with David Blaine — the clip ended with the magician eating a wine glass, and the rapper declaring, “Well, for my last trick, I’m gonna make my career disappear.” “Houdini” gives fans the first taste of Eminem’s 12th album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), due out this summer.

The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) will be Eminem’s first album since 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By, which not only topped the Billboard 200, but also was the artist’s 10th to do so. That set was packed with a generation and genre-spanning guest list, ranging from Dr. Dre to Ed Sheeran to Juice Wrld. Not much has yet been revealed about the forthcoming full-length, but fans have been searching for clues in a special episode of Detroit Murder Files, and a mysterious obituary published in the Detroit Free Press. Dr. Dre has confirmed his involvement.
We have compiled reactions to “Houdini” from hip-hop artists and it includes B-Real, Big Daddy Kane, Ice T, Big Sean, Mickey Factz, Math Hoffa, DJ Hed, Punch TDE, Obie Trice and many others. Check them below.
“I was on the tour lately and I randomly got a text from Eminem and apparently he had heard the song that I did with Mr. Criminal. We did a song recently and somehow that’s the one Eminem heard. He hit me up and he’s like ‘dude! the bar work on Mr. Criminal song…’ and he starts quoting the bars. I was like ‘hey man, coming from you that means a lot cause I respect the hell out of my bro. To me, he’s top 3 all day. No one could shake that foundation, ever! Don’t try to throw other MCs in front of the names that I choose as my three. It’s my three and Eminem’s on my top 3.” – said B-Real.
Then he continued: “He was giving me feedback on some stuff cause I sent him the Real Psycho album and we had like two-three day conversation and he’s like ‘man, I’m listening to this s–t and your bars on this and that…’ It surprised me. I only gave it to him for an opinion cause I respect him as an MC and writer. He was kinda giving me feedback on all of it and I was like ‘thank you bro, it’s much love all day.’ And then, when I heard the new joint ‘Houdini’ the other day I had to hit him back like ‘bro! your pocket is still just ridiculous!’ Every bar flipped. It’s like an old Eminem s–t. Like, got bars and its funny. He has brought the shock humor cynical bars back. The video is also hilarious. I don’t care what anybody says, that s–t was hilarious to me. That’s him singing the chorus and he killed that. And I said to him ‘that Steve Miller s–t you put on the chorus was f–king hard son. There’s gonna be a lot of people scrutinizing my dude but hate if you want, we are not. We f–k with it. If you hate it’s just because you got a problem. Art is subjective, some people are going to get down with it and some ain’t but I’m just saying I get down with it cause he came back with a smasher right there and the video just backs it up cause its hilarious and just as funny as the first one, if not more funny. That was gold. I can’t wait what the album sounds like.”
Last night Eminem dropped the first single “Houdini” off of his forthcoming new album titled The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) on steaming services. The song is produced by Eminem himself and – continuing the theme- features a sample and interpolation of Steve Miller Band’s 1982 hit, “Abracadabra.” The accompanying clip imagines Eminem’s antagonist character Slim Shady emerging in the present day via a “portal” — and finds himself confused and unsettled by what he sees in 2024.

“Houdini” debuted at No. 3 on Global Spotify by earning 7,850,400 streams in its first day of release. That makes “Houdini” Marshall’s biggest ever streaming debut on the charts, surpassing 2020’s “Godzilla,” featuring Juice WORLD, from Music To Be Murdered By, which accumulated 5,773,657 streams globally on its first day. The song is also the third biggest opening debut of the year so far.
The song also debuted at No. 4 in the United States Spotify charts with almost 3 million streams. No. 2 in the United Kingdom with 815k streams and No. 2 in Canada with 600k streams. It also hit No. 6 in Germany with 503k plays. “Houdini” also had a huge success on iTunes. It reached No.1 in Worldwide iTunes Chart and No.1 in 17 Countries. It also was the most watched music video in the last 24 on YouTube with 13.5 million views.
Directed by long-running collaborator Rich Lee (“Not Afraid,” “The Monster,” “Venom,” etc.), the innovative “Houdini” video freely calls back to classic Eminem videos such as Joseph Khan’s “Without Me” and Phillip Atwell’s “Real Slim Shady.” Because of so much references to his old classic song, “Without Me” was the biggest gainer on Top Songs Global charts.
Today, Eminem released “Houdini,” the first single from his upcoming 12th solo studio album Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce). The song is produced by Eminem himself and Luis Resto and it samples and interpolates 1982 song “Abracadabra” by Steve Miller Band.
Steven Miller is the founder and only remaining original member of the Steve Miller Band, which he founded in 1966, and is the principal songwriter, lead singer, harmonicist, keyboardist, and one of the guitarists. He began his career in blues and blues rock and evolved to a more pop-oriented arena rock genre during the mid-1970s through the early 1980s, releasing popular singles and albums. Miller was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.
After Eminem dropped “Houdini,” the iconic singer penned a heartful letter to Detroit legend on X (Formerly Twitter): “Hey EM. There is a long chain of stories, poetry, lyrics, and musical roots that have crossed cultures and generations inspiring the whole world for hundreds of years and in all those lines of thought, music, and rhythm there are special artists who take it all in and create new original ideas from their own feelings and experiences. You are one of those timeless originators building something new on a long musical legacy of original artists. For me it’s Les Paul, T-Bone Walker, Bill Doggett, Johnny Guitar Watson, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Willy Dixon, Leiber & Stoller, Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane & Miles Davis.” said Steven Miller.
Then he continued: “I have always tried to credit, honor, and respect the major influencers in my life and to always credit, honor royalties and share knowledge of their work through my own work. I didn’t know it would be this way when I was a kid trying to make a living playing music and making records, I only knew I had to respect the art that came before me and fight for it too among all the crooks, thieves, and imposters.”
“There aren’t many artists who take the time or make the effort to stand up for themselves and credit and respect their influencers at the same time. Marshall Mathers you are an exception and on my short list of people who respect the art. To be included in your process feels good while I’m still singing and playing the music I love. I’m Honored. Thank you.” Steven Miller added. You can check the tweet below:

Eminem ‘s new single “Houdini” has just arrived, and with it a music video that’s chock full of celebrity cameos from Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, comedians Shane Gillis and Pete Davidson, his Shady Records artists GRIP, Westside Boogie, Ez Mil, Denaun Porter, Royce 5’9″ among others.
The music video, like the song, is a throwback to Eminem’s 2002 hit “Without Me,” the first single released off of his blockbuster album “The Eminem Show.” The song reprises the “guess who’s back” intro to the song, and the video features Eminem and Dr. Dre returning to their superhero characters from the video.
“Houdini” is based on a playful interpolation of Steve Miller Band’s 1982 hit “Abracadabra” and finds Eminem returning to his celeb-skewering Slim Shady roots. (Megan Thee Stallion and R. Kelly both are mentioned.) He also dissed his mentor Dr. Dre, his manager Paul Rosenberg, the CEO of Inerscope Jimmy Iovine and even went after his own kids, including Hailie Jade.
“Houdini” is the first single off of Eminem’s new album, called “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).” Right after the single dropped, Eminem’s team update his website withlimited edition pre-order with bonus track. It now reads: June 7, 2024, FOR ONE WEEK ONLY PRE-ORDER THE LIMITED EDITION DIGITAL ALBUM WITH AN EXCLUSIVE BONUS TRACK ONLY AVAILABLE ON EMINEM.COM
“The Death of Slim Shady,” Eminem’s first album since 2020’s “Music to Be Murdered By,” was announced in April, tied to Eminem’s appearance at the first night of the Detroit NFL Draft. It will be Eminem’s 12th solo studio album of his career. Bump the new single below:
Eminem attempts to make his career disappear with new single titled “Houdini,” produced by himself and Luis Resto. It serves as the lead single to Eminem’s twelfth studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The track is named after Harry Houdini, a popular magician known for his death-defying stunts like the Chinese Water Torture Cell, which Eminem replicates in the intro to his 1999 track, “Role Model.”
“Little baby devil with the forked tongue and it’s stickin’ out,” raps Eminem in the opening verse, before he adds, “Still a white jerk pullin’ up in a Chrysler to the cypher with the Vics, Percs and a Bud Light shirt.” At the end of the first verse, Eminem references Megan Thee Stallion’s shooting incident with Tory Lanez with a clever wordplay: “If I was to ask for Megan Thee (What?)/ Stallion if she would collab with me / Would I really have a shot at a feat? (Haha) I don’t know, but I’m glad to be back like Abra-abracadabra…”
In the third verse, Eminem claims that there are still many kids who want to act like him while namedropping R. Kelly and Black Eyed Peace: “In the coupe, leaning back my seat (What?)
Bumpin’ R. Kelly’s favorite group (Uh), the black guy (Guy) pees (Pees, haha) / In my Air Max 90s / White Ts, walkin’ parental advisory / My transgender cat’s Siamese (Why?) / Identifies as black, but acts Chinese.”
At the end of the verse, Eminem says a big f–k you to everybody, including Paul Rosenberg, Dr. Dre and his own kids: “Go ahead, Paul, quit, snake-a-s prick, You male cross dresser (Haha), fake-a-s b-tch / And I’ll probably get s-t for that (Watch) / But you can all suck my d–k, in fact / F–k them, f–k Dre, f–k Jimmy, f–k me, f–k you / F–k my own kids, they’re brats (F–k ’em) / They can screw off (Yeah), them and you all (Uh) / You too, Paul, got two balls / Big as RuPaul’s (Woah).”
The music video features cameos from Paul Rosenberg, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, GRIP, Westside Boogie, EZ Mil, Alchemist, Denaun Porter, Royce 5’9″, Pete Davidson, Jimmy Iovine, three of his daughters and others and it references to his iconic “Without Me” music video.

Eminem is preparing new music for this Friday and the UFC legend Conor McGregor is the latest celebrity to show support to Detroit icon.
A little less than a month after announcing his 12th solo studio album titled “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce),” the follow-up for his 2020 album “Music To Be Murdered By,” Eminem has revealed that its first single “Houdini” will arrive tomorrow, Friday. Even though some fans think it’s an album not a single, that seems not to be a case.
Couple of days ago, in a post on social media with caption “Please do not try this at home. Or anywhere else,” Marshall FaceTimed with magician David Blaine and asked him for “help with something.” “I was wondering, how far can we go with this magic? Like, can we do like a stunt or something?” Em asked Blaine, who drinks a glass of wine and then proceeds to bite off the rim of it. “Well for my last trick, I’m going to make my career disappear,” says Eminem, while clicking off of the conversation.
Conor McGregor showed support to Eminem by sharing the clip on his Instagram story. Check out the screenshot below:

Little is known about Eminem‘s upcoming album, which he previously said would release this summer. “Houdini” would be the first offering, and a short clip of the instrumental seemingly plays at the end of the clip that were shared on all of his social media platforms.
While Em has kept details under wraps for “The Death of Slim Shady,” his longtime collaborator and mentor Dr. Dre let a few details slip earlier this year. In March, the hip-hop icon from Compton went on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where he revealed that Eminem was working on a new album. He also shared that he contributed to several songs on the project, and was planning to hear the album for the first time the day after his TV appearance.
In April, Em announced “The Death of Slim Shady” with a Detroit Murder Files crime show teaser that aired during the Detroit NFL Draft 2024. Earlier this month, he placed a fake obituary in the Detroit Free Press to say goodbye to Slim Shady, who has long been his alter ego. A week later, 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. As it turn out and as we expected, it’s a release date for a new single “Houdini.” Check Eminem’s post below:
