Horror shocker revealed: Rapper Eminem’s twelfth album will be released on July 12th.
One minute of pure horror
The one-minute video begins in a delivery room. “When I count to three, you have to push as hard as you can,” the doctor tells a woman in labor. Then comes the shock: the child is not breathing, is lifeless. It only comes to after the doctor gives it a few hard blows on the bottom. The mother is happy and says to the baby in her arms: “You’re the little bastard who always kicked me.” Then it gets scary again: the baby opens its pitch-black eyes before growing devil horns and sharp, demonic teeth. “Holy shit!” shout the doctor and nurses. Then the trailer changes and shows the name and release date of “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” in colorful graffiti.
The clip appears to depict the lyrics “little devil baby with the forked tongue hanging out” from the single “Houdini,” which was released at the end of May. With the song and the accompanying video, the rapper brought back his fictional character Slim Shady, with whom he became famous in the late 1990s. He had previously announced the new album for the summer, but had not yet given an exact date.
After four years, finally a new album
“The Death of Slim Shady” is the twelfth album by the rapper, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III. His last album “Music to Be Murdered By” was released in January 2020.
