Here's An Obituary For Slim Shady

by Daryl Nelson

We first heard about Eminem's new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) in a trailer that co-starred 50 Cent.

It now seems we're a step closer to the album's release, because an obituary for Em's alter-ego Slim Shady was published in the Detroit Free Press.

We’re about to get one of the best promo and album rollout we’ve had in years from Eminem if he keeps all this up. 😭 This is in Detroit newspaper, it’s a Slim Shady obituary!! 👀 pic.twitter.com/hDtLIqrN6u

"Shady first became a household name in 1999 with the debut of his playfully deranged single 'My Name Is,' which — along with its uniquely eye-catching video — exposed the young artist and his lyrics to a wider audience,"the obituary reads. "That audience was soon exposed to the extreme darkness of the muse/rapper, as he led millions of music fans down a road that glorified a demonstrably nihilistic worldview."

Em's last album was 2020's Music to Be Murdered By, and before that he dropped Kamikaze in 2018. The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) is supposed to be released this summer. 

How excited are you on a scale of 1 to 10?
