Eminem’s Controversial New Album Takes Aim at Hip-Hop Heavyweights
Eminem is back with a vengeance on his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grรขce),” and he is not holding back any punches. The Detroit rapper is taking aim at some of the biggest names in the rap industry, including Kanye West, Diddy, and Kendrick Lamar.
On the opening track, “Renaissance,” Eminem criticizes contemporary hip-hop fans for being quick to hate on albums without giving them a fair chance. He also takes shots at Diddy, referencing the disturbing security footage showing him assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
But it doesn’t stop there. Eminem goes on to insinuate that Diddy is responsible for the deaths of both 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G. on the track “Fuel.” He also doesn’t spare Kanye West, referencing his struggles with mental health on multiple tracks.
While Diddy and Kanye may have been the main targets on the album, Eminem also takes aim at old foes like Ja Rule and even makes questionable digs at Lizzo. It seems that Slim Shady is back to his old ways of stirring up controversy and not caring who he offends in the process.
Fans and critics alike are buzzing about Eminem’s latest album, with many praising his lyrical prowess and boldness in calling out some of the biggest names in the industry. Love him or hate him, one thing is for sure – Eminem is back and he’s not holding back.
