Like teens on Depop, Eminem is combing via his Y2K archives for a new glimpse.
On Friday, the rapper produced “Houdini,” the 1st single from his forthcoming album “The Death of Slender Shady (Coup de Grâce).” The music carries on where by his 22-year-old one “Without Me” still left off, riffing on a related beat and self-referential lyrics about how the entire world has changed even though he remains the exact same spitball-chucking troll as generally.
“My s— may well not be age ideal / But i will strike an eight 12 months old in the facial area with a participation trophy,” the 51-year-aged rapper jibes on “Houdini.” A preset issue in a turning planet as ever.
The video clip digs out his exact costume from “Without Me” and phone calls in favors from his Bush-era peak for cameos. Dr. Dre announces that a time portal has opened to 2002 and a digitally de-aged outdated Eminem is on the unfastened, with today’s grayer 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg playing together with the little bit.
Em has enterprise from the embattled-white-man-celeb group chat: Pete Davidson, in bleach-blonde regalia, makes mild of his modern arrest for menacing the roadways of Beverly Hills, though comedian Shane Gillis commiserates with a fellow semi-canceled superstar.
Eminem’s forthcoming album will probably execute his longstanding change-moi Slender Shady (as witnessed in a new pretend obituary released in the Detroit Free Press). “Death of Slender Shady” is his to start with LP considering that 2020’s “Music to Be Murdered By,” which spent a week at range one particular at launch. A release day has not but been introduced.
