With _The_ arrives the birth of a demon child. On Monday, Eminem
announced that he'll release his upcoming LP on July 12 via a minute-
long horror trailer.
The video opens with a woman giving birth to a baby. "When I count to
three, I need you to push as hard as you can," says the doctor. After
the baby is delivered, the woman holds the child in her arms, saying,
"You're the little bugger that kept kicking me."
The baby then opens its pitch-black eyes before it grows devil horns
and pointy, demon-like teeth. "Holy shit!" the doctor and nurses
declare. The trailer then cuts to display the name and release date of
_The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)_ in colorful graffiti.
The visual appears to depict the "little baby devil with the forked
tongue and it's stickin' out" lyric from the LP's single, "Houdini,"
which dropped in late May.
Eminem announced the album in a mock documentary-inspired trailer
about his alter ego's death. "Through his complex and oft-criticized,
tongue-twisting rhymes, the anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no
shortage of enemies," a reporter declared in the clip. He then
published a fake obituary in the _Detroit Free Press_.
"His complex and tortured existence has come to a close, and the
legacy he leaves behind is no closer to resolution than the manner in
which this character departed this world," read the obit.
Eminem's last LP, _Music to Be Murdered By_ , arrived in January 2020.
Dr. Dre previously told Jimmy Kimmel, "Eminem is working on his own
album, which is coming out this year. I actually talked to him, and he
said it was OK for me to make that announcement right here on this
show. So he has an album coming out, I've got songs on it and it's
fire."
