Eminem Announces New Album “The Death Of Slim Shady”
Eminem, the iconic rapper who dominated pop culture in the 2000s and the pop charts in the 2010s, has been relatively quiet in the 2020s. However, fans can finally rejoice as he is making a comeback with his upcoming album, The Death of Slim Shady. Eminem recently made a seemingly random appearance at the start of the NFL Draft on April 25, followed by a video teaser uploaded to YouTube, creating immense anticipation for his new album.
The teaser is modelled after crime shows like Unsolved Mysteries, with a man in a trenchcoat talking about the enemies that Eminem’s alter ego, “Slim Shady,” has made over the years due to his “tongue-twisting rhymes.” The teaser incorporates clips from classic Eminem videos like “Without Me” and “The Real Slim Shady.” The new album’s premise comes to light when the narrator reveals that Shady is dead and speculates that his controversial lyrics may have led to his demise. The teaser confirms that Eminem’s new album, The Death of Slim Shady, will be released in the summer of 2024. The album boasts the subtitle “Coup de Grace,” which means “a final blow or shot given to kill a wounded person or animal.” The best part of the announcement comes at the end when a pixelated Eminem moves to the side and accidentally reveals his true identity.
Eminem created Slim Shady as a means of voicing his discontent when he was starting his rap career. He has returned to his alter ego over the years, with his recent albums trying to reckon with the skeletons of his past, whether it be addiction or family drama. However, he distanced himself from Slim Shady on Recovery (2010) and Revival (2017) but dove into the character’s zany antics on The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2014). It makes sense that he would dramatically close the book on Slim. Fans are eagerly waiting for the final blow that Eminem is going to give Slim Shady.
