Eminem Releases ‘Houdini’ Single, Music Video Filled With Stars.

Slim Shady has returned once more. Not for long, though.

“The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace),” Eminem’s most recent album, seems to end his alter ego.

The first single off the album, “Houdini,”  samples the 1982 smash song “Abracadabra” by the Steve Miller Band, has been released. His songs criticize several individuals, including Megan Thee Stallion and even him.

Would I have a chance at a feat if I asked Megan Thee Stallion to collaborate with me? He raps, alluding to Tory Lanez’s 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion in the feet, for which Lanez received a 10-year prison sentence.

In the song’s music video, Eminem also released, he receives assistance from some famous pals.

The song video opens up  with Paul Rosenberg, the 51-year-old rapper’s music manager, leaving what seems like a negative voicemail regarding the upcoming album. Dr. Dre, Eminem’s mentor and frequent collaborator, then answers, saying, “We’ve got a problem.”

A gateway that permits time travel between the present and 2002 is the problem. There are then cameos by Pete Davidson, Snoop Dogg, and 50 Cent.

Fans of Eminem’s 2002 “Without Me” video will recognise him fighting against his younger self in this video.

A faux obituary for his alter identity, Slim Shady, surfaced recently in the Detroit Free Press, his hometown newspaper. “A rogue splinter in the flourishing underground rap scene,” was how Slim Shady was described.

“The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” follows Eminem’s 2020 album, “Music to Be Murdered By.” The full collection of new music is set for release this summer.
