ALBAWABA - Eminem revealed the summer release of "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)"—his twelfth studio album—just before he made an appearance at the NFL Draft.
Shortly after his NFL appearance, a music video for the album featuring a real-life journalist delving into the murder of Slim Shady's alter ego surfaced online. According to him, Slim Shady's anti-hero persona has garnered a lot of detractors due to his intricate and often-panned lyrics.
Next, we see an appearance from 50 Cent, Eminem's longtime collaborator. His description of him is "a psychopath," not a buddy. "The same controversial antics and rude lyrics may have led to his downfall," the reporter says. Please reenact with me the chain of events that culminated in Slim Shady's murder.
When asked about Slim's impending arrival, Eminem himself says, "I knew it was only a matter of time."
In January of 2020, the rapper's last album, "Music to Be Murdered By," was published without warning. It debuted atop the Billboard 200 and gave birth to the No. 3-charting Hot 100 song "Godzilla" with Juice Wrld; therefore, it was an immediate smash.
Slim Shady has long been an alter ego for Eminem, dating back to 1997’s “Slim Shady EP” and “The Slim Shady LP,” which arrived two years later. He often assumed the character to deliver his more aggressive and violent lyrics, which branded him as a controversial rapper from the start of his career. He’s assumed the alter ego on songs including “Guilty Conscience,” “’97 Bonnie and Clyde,” and, fittingly, “Kill You.”
