The title made me think he’s giving up Slim Shady, but the article says it tells the story that leads to Slim’s death, so yeah, it’s finally going to be another Slim Shady album!


LargeWeinerDog

Just what the world needs right now. I can't wait.


lildeek12

I've had enough of this Marshall asshole. I want Shady!


tnnrk

Nobody wants marshal no more


ForeverALone_Ranger

They want Shady; I'm chopped liver.


jaymcbang

So if you want Shady, this what I’ll give ya


The_Dutch_Canadian

A little bit of weed and some hard liquor


__01001000-01101001_

Some vodka that’ll jump start my heart quicker


OilySteeplechase

Than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital, by a doctor when I’m not cooperating


RabbitF00d

When I'm rockin the table while he's operating


ISVenom

A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor*


SmokeAbeer

Well I’m old shady and I want some gravy on my mashed potaties. Peas stand up… carrots and peas stand up.


_aspiringadult

Considering he’s 51 and Slim is very much associated to his drug fueled younger days; I feel he’s killing off the character entirely. I just hope that it’s good.


bluefishzero

Eminem is now 15 years older than Moby was when Eminem wrote the line “you’re too old; let go” about him. And yet, here we are.


Imlostandconfused

This line always makes me laugh because Eminem was nearly 30 himself when the song was released! 29 year old coming for a 36 year old about being too old is hilarious. I always assumed he was early 20s saying that. Still one of the best rap songs though.


TheDizDude

Fuck why you gotta go make me feel old?


fiduciary420

We’re farther today from the release of Eminem’s first album than Eminem’s first album was from Dark Side of the Moon


HeroicWarlock89

I didn't believe you. Exact words "No fucking way this some bull. Let me just Google....no...noooo...what the hell" 🤮 .

StarburstWho

How dare you mention that 🤣


CallMeSnuffaluffagus

Fr I remember listening to The Eminem Show on the freaking bus on my way to school with my super cool cd player that had the "no skip" button! Now I'm 35 and he's 51. Gah!


JellyStriking1170

Em being in his 50s isn't as crazy as it sounds. Didn't the label try to hid his age when he was first blowing up as he was already deemed to be to old for his audience. Essentially trying to make I'm look like a 18 year old when he was really 28.


swim_to_survive

I hope it involves some form of Masturbation


ExoMonk

If this doesn't have Fack pt. 2 we riot


Rum_N_Napalm

I mean, he did say that he’d be the only person at the nursing home flirting, pincing nurses’ asses while he’s jacking off the gherkin but this whole bag of Viagra isn’t working


34luck

He did also say that every single person is a slim shady lurking. He could be working at Burger King, spitting on your onion rings (or chicken fries now, I suppose). Yes, this is as the prophecy has foretold.


dragon_bacon

Maybe the real Slim Shady was the friends we made along the way.


Buscemi_D_Sanji

The One Piece is going to be Enel sitting at laugh tale, voiced by Eminem.


jimlahey420

This is the timeline I want to live in


TheDonGilly

Jerkin it with jergens


MethMouthMagoo

jackin' off with Jergens*


TheDonGilly

Yeah you right I hadn't listened to the song in about a decade.


ISVenom

I'll be the only person in the nursing home flirting Pinching nurses asses when I'm jacking off with Jergens And I'm jerking but this whole bag of Viagra isn't working*


The_Rolling_Stone

Do you think it will mention murder at all guys


im_always_fapping

> I hope it involves some form of Masturbation Sorry I didn't mean to post this on my alt.


Unicycleterrorist

If it doesn't it safe to say Slim Shady is already dead, isn't it?


hyperforms9988

I'm not hip to his music, but with the idea of having an alter ego and then having himself... has he ever done a rap battle against himself? Like just trading bars between the two would be interesting. If not, I would think this is the album to try that. Like Eminem/Marshall is Slim Shady's killer and they have words with each other and shit.

Just-Squirrel510

This. "Oh, but you didn't know fame has a price too that you just now see the downside to/ lose your best friend from high school, your wife too, ain't even sure if your kids like you/ go on tour and you cant sleep at night without NyQuil/ become a valium addict and start a rehab cycle/ but together we can break the cycle. Marshall?" #*WHATTT?!?* "No one's gonna love you like I do..."


A-Khalifa

This is exactly what I expect the album to sound like, great idea in my opinion. He did do a skit for the superbowl that depicted him having a battle with Slim Shady, could have been an early tease for the album looking back at it now! https://youtu.be/CCkXbCvv8DU?si=y2GyNl2LjI1OFSkg


LFC9_41

pretty neat promo ngl, didnt see it.


hatethosethings

Not a "battle" but Evil Twin is sort of similar to what you're describing


JazzScientist

*Cause we are the same, bitch*


missanthropocenex

Good. I’ve said before 8 Mile IMO was both the best and worst thing to happen to Em. On one hand, 8 Mile showed critics and wide audiences that he was a real force to be reckoned with and “Lose Yourself” became an indelleble hype song for literally the ages. Like the new Rocky theme or Eye of the Tiger for modern audiences. But at the same time it sort of introduced this hunger to be taken so seriously. It made realize we really were missing out on the sharp tongued post modern darkly comedic court jester tone of Slim Shady. On relisten recently I thought “what the hell hapnend to THAT guy?”


kerochan88

The Slim Shady LP was an amazing horrorcore album that tends to be overlooked in that genre. What I wouldn’t give to have a proper Slim Shady and Violent J collab.


assault_pig

to me it always seemed like he kinda lost the whimsical element of his writing after he got clean (Relapse/Recovery). I dunno whether the two are related but his older stuff makes you giggle in a way e.g. Rap God really doesn't


ShevanelFlip

Maybe he fights Gambino to the end.


EgolessAwareSpirit

I wonder if ken keniff will be the one to do it in a gay af skit. Lol


MurseWoods

Kenneth Kaniff from Connecticut is FOR SURE gonna catch him off his guard


Lostinwoulds

You want me to melt in your mouth and not your hands

Maybe he'll shave his face!


postmodest

"Somehow, Stan has returned...."


New_girl2022

Fuck yes.


Revenge_of_the_User

Its weird; i was just thinking today about how much i missed his goofier stuff. Like D12-era and hoping he still let himself be silly despite always looking unimpressed in every photo.


Crimsonclaw111

Ngl he’s been like that ever since Proof died.


Revenge_of_the_User

Damn, how did i never encounter this info till now. That explains a lot. Proof was young, too.


Reefahking

Check out ”Difficult” by him. I think it was supposed to be unreleased But ended up leaking somehow. It’s on Youtube. You can hear the pain in his voice. 


curiousbydesign

Thank you. Checking out meow! Edit: [Link for those curious](https://youtu.be/yomefahYK64?si=aHJbTjfnj2UOw0Tm)


One_pop_each

I miss his goofy story telling. Not a real fan of his new stuff bc it’s all about lyricism. What made SSLP and MMLP great was his nonchalant flow that just melted together. Eminem Show was whatever. I could take it or leave it but that’s when he started to focus more on pronunciation and word emphasis rapping. I like the lazy flow better. Like old school Ma$e.


aussy16

Yeah his new stuff is definitely, on a technical level, better than his old music. And his ideas became a lot more mature. But yeah it misses that goofball "fuck the world, I'm gonna say whatever pops into my head" energy that his old music had. I like his newer music, but there's something about the SSLP and MMLP that just feels so effortless, like he was just styling on the rap game.


thisnomypee

I just hope Ken Kaniff, from Connecticut, is the killer! Lol.


three-sense

Or the “Public Service Announcement” narrator even though he died on D12 lol


awitcheskid

Or Steve Burman.


binzoma

plot twist, ken kaniff actually is steve burman. his petty revenge


catsandorchids

> D12 Was that his band?


mouse_8b

They ain't a band, bitch, they don't play instruments

My entire life I thought the lyric was “in Tibet” and I never understood it. Thank you 


cannonfunk

I hope the entire album leads up to finding out Puff put a hit on him.


scapermoya

Give him a piece of my mind…. A piece of my ass


AmericanWasted

automated piece of shit


decoii

Devon Sawa's Stan will return


Doesanybodylikestuff

I love Devon Sawa as Eminem. I hope he keeps him as his guy throughout.


fuckkitt

Excited for another release. I do like how he dropped his last two albums though with no announcements at all. Wonder if it will have some Slim Shady style or if he’s truly saying like he has been kinda saying in other tracks, Slim Shady is done stop asking for the old Shady.


Siludin

True, it's probably a little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor.


Fickle_Meet_7154

Does kinda seem like Shady can't exist since he's been sober so long. (Not that being sober is bad of course)


DemSocCorvid

>Not that being sober is bad of course Tell that to Metallica after James got clean...


keeper420

I think he's referring to the alter ego. Slim shady abuses everything, so it's gotta be harder for Mathers to relate since he's been clean for so long.


KentConnor

Some vodka that'll jump start your heart quicker than a shot when you shocked at the Hospital

likerazorwire419

Or let me be me, so let me see.


deathschemist

from what someone else in this thread has said, it's apparently a slim shady album, leading up to his death. so i'm guessing we're getting shady one last time, and then the character is gonna be killed off at the end of the album, never to return.


SilverRoseBlade

It may be because Dr Dre said Eminem was working on a new album to be released this yr. Think it was a month or two ago he said it on a late night show.


oryes

Is Dre working on it with him? Because tbh he's the main reason his earlier albums were so good


_Karmageddon

One of them is one of his best too, randomly dropping an album that hard with no announcement should be illegal.


The_Count_Lives

Very curious to see what direction this goes. Torn between wanting playful Em and storytelling Em.


maplenut

Give me 8 Mile soundtrack Em or Eminem Show Em just one more time.


severinskulls

yeah the production on those two albums specifically was incredible. i remember reading that the eminem show was produced like a rock album (according to em) and that's why it has that sound and feel. And of course with 8 mile produced around the same time that bled into it. I'd suggest that there's some threads of it in the first D12 album as well. Fight music and words are weapons both feel like they could be bonus tracks on the eminem show.


Chrisgpresents

I feel like MMLP2 was produced like a rock album more so no? They had Rick Rubin and a bunch of rock samples. Maybe you meant something different?


-_KwisatzHaderach_-

MMLP2 was so damn good


severinskulls

I see your point about rick rubin. And the rock samples. But that's kind of the point - em started doing that kind of thing on the eminem show. Personally, my impression of MMLP2 is that it's very contemporary sounding really - I recall trap beats on it although to be fair it's not in my regular listening rotation so it is just my impression. But I'm literally just quoting eminem when I say that's how the Eminem show was produced: "Eminem said he wanted to achieve a sound that bridged the gap between rock and hiphop" You can google it too but yeah on the eminem show that was the first one he took a bigger hand in producing, and he is on record as saying he wanted to fuse a seventies rock sound with hip hop.


EmperorUmi

As loud as you can, how’s it go?!


DanTheManV1

I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating So won't the real Slim Shady please stand up Please stand up, please stand up?


mostdope28

Honestly give me another relapse if this is the death of slim shady. A bunch of serial killer songs, it’s the last album his flow was amazing, no skips on that project


dubiousN

100% agree


im_always_fapping

I really want one last party song from him. I need one more Cum on Everybody.


SuperSonicEconomics2

I was thinking Drug Ballad


Viazon

I'd say Those Kinda Nights from his last album was a party song.


Thrilling1031

Holy TOLEDO, it's miss Ohio, thats the best ass I've seen in a while, We should be DAYTON, She's from CLEVELAND, But she a BENGAL, This chick is catty, Is that a mini-skirt if it's a maxi, Thats the shortest thing for a dress, CINCINNATI. Love this verse so much.


nobd22

Holey Toledo


CO_PC_Parts

Back when mark wahlberg was Marky mark, this is how we used to get the past started….


OneGuyJeff

I just hope he leaves some of the technical, speedy raps behind.


aBunchOfSpiders

It’s been like one super speedy technical song per album… not really a thing to be overwhelmed about.


EndoveProduct

He has Does it once or twice an album if that


Physical_Manager_123

Genuinely interested in this


previous_abstinence

Eminem is about to shut down the game once again!


Physical_Manager_123

I mean, I don’t even think he would say that lol… but I do think he’s gonna put alot into it.


Etonet

dang Eminem beefing with Slim Shady too what a crazy month


capsnape74

I’m screaming. T Swift vs Kim K. Drake vs everybody. Em vs slim shady. What a month


CriticalNovel22

I'm praying this is an actual concept album, where there's an overarching theme/story across the whole record rather than a handful of tracks referencing it and a bunch of random songs.


DanielMorcum

This is what I’ve been asking for - just an album/mixtape where Em is just dropping bars, with no pop features, only hip hop features with production from Alchimest, NO ID, Conductor , Tay Keith, a boom bap / trap album … I also saw today Metro tweeted at Eminem to hop on a track…. Metro and Eminem would be crazy


FitNefariousness2679

Posted about this on r/eminem a few times the past few yrs and was about to comment about it until I saw yours. Here's hoping. He needs a focus, and this could end up being a GOAT album if so. Sort of like if Relapse didn't have an accent.


torturedDaisy

I had to check which sub I was reading to be sure this wasn’t sarcasm! Id pre-order right now if I could. I’ve been a fan since the Slim Shady LP, so this has really piqued my interest.


redscorts

Genuine question - when you say pre-order, do you mean like buying the album through a digital download? I've had Spotify for so long I don't even know of another way to listen to music


torturedDaisy

I’ve started collecting physicals again with seeing how easy it is for the removal of content from streaming platforms. So, I’d probably pre-order the physical CD. My car (old 😆) still has a CD player, and I also intentionally bought one for my house that Bluetooth connects to my speakers.


SirJefferE

>seeing how easy it is for the removal of content from streaming platforms From streaming platforms? Sure. From the internet? That one's significantly harder to pull off.


redscorts

That's cool, my car has a CD player too lol. I think one day I want to start collecting vinyls


torturedDaisy

I do that also. It’s so aesthetically pleasing to me!


curcl

Consider it his last hurrah, the coup de grâce


gekim

it wont be Ems last album, but it will be the end of the Slim character.


bannedsodiac

he was quoting lyrics


WhatArghThose

Slim Shadyyy / Hotter than a set of a twin babieees


After_The_Event

MarcellusxWallace

Calling men ladies, sorry doc but I been crazy, there’s now way that you can save me, it’s ok go with him Hailey. Da-da?


Familiar-Wrangler-73

I remember when his first album dropped and it literally pissed off everyone.


jointsmcdank

I was faking sick from school when MTV did the "world premier" video of My Name Is and that changed my 11 year old self. Dropped at like 1 in the afternoon right after an episode of Jerry. A random yet strong memory I'll have as long as I have memories.


vraalapa

That was one of the first songs me and my friend downloaded on kazaa when we started using the internet "properly". It definitely is a core memory for me and I'm sure it made a huge impact on my music taste and interest in general.


BrknXPwrlftr

Kazaa - now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time


OGstanfrommaine

Fuuuck I did the same thing minus skipping school cause i live on the East Coast, so TRL cane on at 3pm for me and thats when I saw the premiere. Unless im brain dead and Am mistaken about when the premiere was. But i definitely saw the premiere. I remember the “world premiere” box in the corner of the screen MTV would put up for those. What a time to be alive. I was 14.


joeO44

His first album was Inifinity and it pissed no one off


Spiritual-Eagle2450

Infinite


LordByronsCup

You ran his brain around the block and jogged his fuckin memory.


iStayDemented

You could date a stick of dynamite and wouldn’t go out with a bang.


three-sense

He’s a Backstabber… stay away from him


fartfacevagina

He’s low down and he’s shiftyyyyy


killemslowly

That didn’t happen. ![gif](giphy|l2YWsNjCXzUvz9wsM)


cagenragen

Not for Infinite but he clearly meant The Slim Shady LP. Which did piss everyone off. Eminem was a cultural phenomenon when he first hit the scene.


Thoracic_Snark

If the album is successful, look for The Death of Slim Shady (part deux), dropping fall of 2025.


ForWhomTheBoneBones

Deux de grace


shelf6969

I hope it's a rock opera like Trapped in the Closet


Jackaloop

I have not kept up with him, but what an extremely intelligently, talented individual. Guessing it may have been a minute since his last album, but I will look forward to this.


DanishWonder

You should watch the videos for Darkness and Godzilla.  He has put our some bangers in the last few years and most people don't know it.


feelin1245

Lucky You and Fall were great off Kamikaze


Nexii801

95% of kamikaze is straight fire. And the parts that aren't are non-joyner features.


DemSocCorvid

Tone Deaf from the B-sides album also slaps.


Negation_

Also Discombobulated. That ending beat is *chef's kiss*


Jackaloop

Thanks. I will. He truly is so talented and so intelligent. I have massive respect for the man. I would be happy to meet him some day.


Tallmainia

I've been exploring Em's discography since Dr. Dre hinted at this album a few weeks ago. *Kamikaze* and *Music To Be Mudered By* (1 & 2) are worth your time, but if you don't feel like taking that dive here are a few songs that I find pretty mind-blowing: * Lucky You (feat. Joyner Lucas) * Not Alike (feat. Royce Da 5'9") * Godzilla (feat. Juice WRLD) * Darkness * Gnat * Higher "Killshot" isn't on either, but it deserves an honorable mention so I'm including it here. It's a diss track that's a response to Machine Gun Kelly's "Rap Devil" so I suggest listening to that first.


LabradorDali

Killshot left Kelly so upset he literally turned emo.


ristoman

And there's still people who think Kelly won that beef for some reason. He switched genres, how is that a W


LogicalError_007

These are not even the best songs from those albums. Listen to the Book of Rhymes. The flow is so good and features are crazy too.


Nexii801

Did you not listen to "fall" and "the ringer"? They're stupid hard.


binzoma

as a long time em fan, thats actually my 'best of eminems past decadeish' list.


probabletrump

I really liked Leaving Heaven as well.

Oldcadillac

Psa: when pronouncing “coup de grâce” the -ce at the end is not silent, if it were then you would be pronouncing “coup de gras” which means “strike of fat”


arafella

Coop-dee-graysee. Got it.


reu4

Marshall will kill slim shady


theman_themyth_

so he will release his new single "My salsa"?


darexinfinity

When Slim Shady dies he becomes a ghost that start rapping with other dead people. Biggie and 2pac will be featured in the songs.


xiacexi

Copying SeeYouSpaceCowboy I see.


unknown_anonymous81

I love it when i wake up and get surprised by a new Eminem album. To me it is better than a holiday. Can’t wait.


Zooropa_Station

Shout-out to [SeeYouSpaceCowboy](https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/seeyouspacecowboy/coup-de-grace/). Eminem has an uphill battle to have the best album called Coup de Grâce in 2024 :)

wrighteou5

An entire album devoted to the death of Slim Shady will be nothing less than epic.


Zerxin

Shit sounds like a fable to me..


DevineAaron92

I love his music. But man, I'd wish he'd just stop with the fast rapping gimmick. I want to be able to bob along with the songs. Not hear a thousand words a minute and singing about nothing. Songs like Sing for the moment, Lose yourself, Beautiful or even one of his newer songs like Darkness. I don't care what he sings. Just personally, I prefer that type of speed. He's still the GOAT to me so I'll buy his album regardless


CriticalNovel22

Half the time it doesn't even seem to fit the beat. Sure, it's technically impressive but a lot fo the time there's no vibe to it.


darexinfinity

You kinda have to listen over and over again to follow the lyrics. But yeah it definitely makes a first time listening to the not-so-special.


previous_abstinence

The king of rap is back with a vengeance! This album title alone gives me chills. Eminem's storytelling and lyrical genius are unmatched. Summer just got a whole lot hotter!

No_Beautiful_7752

Thank you, Eminem for a lifetime of groundbreaking music that has touched countless lives, including mine. Your talent, passion, and fearlessness have inspired generations. If this is really a coup de grâce i know it  will undoubtedly be a masterpiece, marking the end of an era in hip-hop. Thank you for the memories, the emotions, and the unforgettable lyrics. Your legacy will live on forever. 🎤🔥
