new details about the album on apple music

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.

Maybe the album follows the concept and story to such a degree that he needed to throw in this leftover from lyrical lemonade last minute to have a second single that doesn't spoil the whole thing?

If it was a double album he would have just released the second titled coup de grace. I'm confident that ties into the album because of time traveling

Wait,

After reading that Apple Music description (Which I’m mad I did. Lol)

In 2024, you think….. Em is really about to take it “There” tonight? Like, 2nd verse of “Guilty conscience” level?

Man. Lol

The Megan line had people doing think pieces so I can only imagine

Why would he k--- slim shady give the perfect retirement then release a second album, and ruin it. There's no way he can execute this perfectly with it being that long of a story
