Eminem returns after four years since releasing “Music to Be Murdered By” with a new album titled “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”, which is out today. This concept album, his 12th, has been creating buzz with a fake obituary for the Slim Shady character and an album trailer done in the style of a true crime documentary. It is the first album in a while to focus on his Slim alter ego, and the title hinting at a “death” has led fans to revisit key moments from his award-winning discography.
One such moment that has been widely discussed is a line from the 2009 track “My Darling” off the album “Relapse.” The song portrays Em and Slim engaging in a war of words, emphasizing the character’s spirit’s resilience despite any attempts on its life.
