Eminem Announces Release Date For “The Death Of Slim Shady”

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem is really putting effort into his current album cycle. The rapper has taken extra care to build up the hype for The Death of Slim Shady. He’s dropped teasers, collaborations with magician David Blaine, and a high concept music video for the single “Houdini.” The question on everybody’s mind, though, was when the album would drop. When would the Death of Slim Shady finally be revealed to the world? Well, Eminem gave fans an answer in predictably dramatic fashion.

The rapper released what appears to be the last of the album teasers on July 1. The video sees a grim scene at a hospital, in which a woman gives birth to an unresponsive baby. The doctors eventually get the baby breathing, but when it wakes up, it has demonic, black eyes. The mother asks what happened, and before anybody can answer, the baby flashes a split tongue and grows devil horns. The entire staff screams “holy sh*t” before running out of the delivery room. Then, the moment fans have been waiting for: a release date. The Death of Slim Shady will come out on July 12.

Eminem Went Full Demonic In His Latest Teaser

It’s a surprisingly quick turnaround, given how slowly Eminem has been releasing details. The rapper has, however, experimented with different rollouts in the past. Relapse had a lengthy promo cycle since it was supposed to be Eminem’s comeback. Recovery was billed as a correction the mixed reviews of Relapse, and Kamikaze was dropped out of nowhere. The Death of Slim Shady is obviously aiming to be a grand sendoff for Eminem’s alter ago, so it makes sense that he would want to make sure all eyes were on him.

Em hasn’t spoken in depth about The Death of Slim Shady, beyond his promos. He did, however, shed some light on his recording process during a January appearance on Shade 45. “I’m working on a little something,” he told Whoo Kid. Eminem also hinted future collaborations with 50 Cent, who appeared in the first promo for The Death of Slim Shady. “I told him whatever the f*ck he needs from me, I’m here,” the rapper explained. “That sh*t’d be crazy, though… 50’s on a roll right now. He’s been on a roll since the tour.” Hopefully we get to hear these two Aftermath stars on wax again.

Despite fans’ pushback, the seemingly professional burial of Eminem’s rap alter ego is moving full steam ahead. With his forthcoming album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) on the way, Em is treating supporters to another taste of what’s to coming from the project.

Yesterday (June 28), the “Houdini” rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) page to tease his next single, “Tobey,” which is set to feature Big Sean and BabyTron.

“TOBEY. @babytron. @bigsean. New music 7/2. Video 7/5 by @colebennett,” he wrote.

In the gory clip, the trio, dressed in uniform coveralls, serve their most intimating mean mug to prove that Detroit has vested stakes in the “Big Three” conversation. With a chainsaw and creepy Jason Voorhees mask replica, Eminem hacks away at something just outside the camera’s frame, it is clear he means business.

As Babytron is heard rapping, “Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider but see me it was a GOAT,” Eminem’s love for film certainly found its way into the forthcoming collaboration.

Instead of fighting crime (as hilariously seen in the “Houdini” visual), Eminem, Big Sean, and BabyTron plan on wrecking havoc in the rap streets. With creative mind, Lyrical Lemonade’s Bennett, tasked to bring the vision to the screen, come July 5, the nightmares are soon to follow.

The Alchemist Predicts That Kendrick Lamar Will Drop An Album In 2024

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Alchemist is immortalized in rap battle history. He provided the beat for Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams,” one of the most chilling disses ever recorded. He didn’t realize it would be a diss when he first made the beat, but that’s irrelevant now. The Alchemist is team Kendrick Lamar. It’s this association that led TMZ to question the producer about Dot’s upcoming release schedule. The outlet wanted to know if The Alchemist had the inside scoop on a secret album.

The Alchemist started his interaction by showing love to Lamar. He also gave a shout out to the work of a fellow producer, DJ Mustard, on “Not Like Us.” He described the diss as a “big record” worthy of number one single status. Alc then addressed the possibility of Lamar dropping a new album. “I think he’s gonna drop an album this year,” he asserted. The Alchemist made it clear that Lamar won the beef, and doesn’t have to drop, but has a good feeling. “I don’t think he has to,” the producer explained. “I think he will, just cuse he can.” TMZ asked The Alchemist whether he has more beats to give to Dot, and he made it clear that he did. He then pointed at his car and said: “I got some records in this car, I’m about to send them as soon as I get home.”

The Alchemist Plans On Sending Multiple Beats To K. Dot

The Alchemist and Kendrick Lamar have been collaborating since 2017. The former produced “The Heart Part IV” and the song “FEAR” off Lamar’s album DAMN. The two legends also linked up for the song “We Cry Together” off 2022’s Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. The Alchemist has always spoken highly of K. Dot and his recording process. He went as far as to say that working on “FEAR” helped him to deal with the passing of his father. “Having a beat on it was one of the only good things that happened during that time that brought me back to life,” the producer wrote on Instagram in 2022. “I remember thanking Dot & telling him that he helped me in more ways than he could imagine.”

The Alchemist is seemingly everywhere these days. In addition to working with Lamar, the producer is hard at work on Eminem’s upcoming album. He didn’t produce Em’s new single, “Houdini,” but he told MTV that he was very much involved in the recording process. “That’s my boss,” he noted. “I deejay for him and I’m not at liberty to speak on much, but you know his caliber and what he does.” The Alchemist even made a cameo appearance in the music video for “Houdini.” We’re excited to see what him and Em cook up together.

The Alchemist Reveals Jay-Z Is The Rapper He Wants To Work With Most

June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Alchemist is one of the most respected producers in the game. His name is synonymous with quality, whether he’s working with Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, or Larry June. The mere fact that he can work all three of these artists denotes a versatility that few producers can match. That being said, The Alchemist is not content to sit on his laurels. He may already have a Hall of Fame resume, but he talked about his dream collaboration during a recent interview with NFR Podcast.

The Alchemist and Cardo linked up to discuss their career goals, and the former made it very clear who he wants to work with: Jay-Z. Somehow, The Alchemist and Hov have yet to officially work together. This is something the producer wants to remedy as soon as possible. “Jay always been on my list,” he stated. “I been saying it for a hundred years. It’s Jay-Z. I would love to. We linked but I keep the faith.” He made it clear that there’s no ill will between him and Jay. He asserted, though, that he’d only want to collab with the Brooklyn rapper if the desire was mutual.

The Alchemist Has Known Jay-Z For Twenty Years

For The Alchemist, it’s all about respect and creative unity. “At this point, I hope it would be a mutual thing,” he explained. “Like I would want to work with somebody that would wanna work with me. There’s a couple that’s brewing that’s like bucket list sh*t for me that I hope happens. I still have hopes like that.” The closest The Alchemist and Jay-Z got to working together was on the 2020 Jay Electronica album, A Written Testimony. The Alchemist produced the song “The Neverending Story,” which Jay-Z eventually spit a verse on.

The Alchemist and Jay-Z have actually known each other for decades. They first met in New York in the early 2000s, which the producer recalled during a For the Record interview. “[Jay] leaned in my ear and was like, ‘Yo when you gonna stop wasting them beats?,’” he stated. Jay-Z was responsible for getting The Alchemist and Beanie Sigel in the studio together, and he even got a chance to hear the producer’s breakout beat, “We Gonna Make It.” The Alchemist claimed that Jay actually passed on the beat before it went to Jadakiss. Hopefully the producer gets his collab sooner than later.

LL Cool J & Eminem Newest Leak Victims As Potential Album Cut Loses Hype Amongst Fans

June 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

LL Cool J and Eminem are both making major comebacks to hip-hop very soon, as both have impending albums on the way. For the former MC hailing from New York, his return has been 11 years in the making. THE FORCE, which is slated for a fall release according to HipHopNMore, is already shaping up to be a massive moment for the genre and longtime fans of the hitmaker. LL put out the lead single this past Friday (June 14), “Saturday Night Special”, which features Rick Ross and Fat Joe. Then, there is Eminem. The Detroit icon started his album rollout for The Death of Slim Shady already by releasing the controversial track “Houdini”.

With two mainstays looking to reaffirm their positions in hip-hop lore already being big news, there could not be anything that could top that right? Well, think again, as rumors are swirling around X circles that LL Cool J and Eminem have a collaboration potentially in the works for the first time ever. The track is called “Murdergram” and there is a strong belief that it could land on THE FORCE. However, there is some good news and some bad news.

Full song leaks very soon, recorded 2022

— icey (@iceymenace) June 11, 2024

Let us start with the negative’s first. The song is already losing hype amongst the fans, as the song was leaked to X in full yesterday, potentially ruining the chance that it officially drops. Furthermore, the people that did check out the leak felt that Emimen put in a forgettable performance. Now for the positives. Social media users who decided to not play the unreleased version can feel even better about it, as at the time of writing, the leak was hit with a copyright strike. This could mean that Cool J or Eminem’s team came across and did not want to spoil the anticipation any further. Overall, it is an odd situation, but the leak community is still a huge problem, especially this year.

What are your thoughts on this LL Cool J and Eminem leak “Murdergram”? Do you have an issue with the leak culture, why or why not? Are you going to listen to it or wait until Cool J’s album drops later this year? If you did listen to it, who do you think performed better on the track? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding LL Cool J and Eminem. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Eminem’s “When I’m Gone” Enters YouTube’s Billion Views Club

June 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem’s “When I’m Gone” is the latest video to reach the one billion views club on YouTube. The 2005 single led to the release of Curtain Call: The Hits.

“When I’m Gone” peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is now the seventh video to hit the illustrious mark for Slim Shary. The most recent was 2004’s “Mockingbird,” joining “Love the Way You Lie,” “Without Me,” “Not Afraid,” “Rap God,” and Akon’s “Smack That.”

Eminem’s new single, “Houdini,” may be controversial, but it sure got a ton of spins. “Houdini” will debut at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Slim Shady’s highest-charting single in ten years.

According to Billboard, the single could not overcome Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” featuring Morgan Wallen, which extends its streak at the top slot to No. 1.

Eminem debuts at No. 2 on the Hot 100 with “Houdini,” marking the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame rapper’s 23rd career top 10 hit and his highest-charting song since “The Monster,” featuring Rihanna, which held the No. 1 spot for four weeks between December 2013 and January 2014. Before this latest entry, Eminem last entered the top 10 with “Godzilla” (featuring Juice WRLD), which debuted and peaked at No. 3 in February 2020.

Eminem’s “Houdini” debuts at No. 2 on the Hot 100, amassing 48.8 million streams, 4 million in radio reach, and 49,000 sales from its release on May 31 through June 6.

The song is anticipated to lead into Eminem’s 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), set for release this summer.

Eminem’s “Houdini” Music Video Gets Approval From Adam West’s Family

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem is silly again. The rapper is gearing up for the release of his new album, The Death of Slim Shady, and his new single “Houdini,” lays the groundwork. “Houdini” is a throwback to the old Shady style in every sense of the word. It not only recaptures the sound of the early 2000s (tries to, at least), but it recreates elements of Eminem’s iconic “Without Me” video. In particular, the part where Eminem and Dr. Dre dress up like Batman and Robin.

Em and Dre don’t go for the modern, gritty Batman look, either. Their silly costumes and wall climbing activities are pulled directly from the 1960s TV show starring Adam West. The beloved comedy actor died in 2017, but his daughter, Nina Tooley, had nothing but positive things to say about the tribute. “My dad would have loved the video,” she told TMZ. “I could hear my dad’s distinct chuckle when the rapper was trying to scale a building with the ‘Bat Rope’ just like he and [Burt Ward] did in the series.” This type of response is no surprise to longtime West fans.

Adam West’s Daughter Praised Eminem’s Humor

Adam West was known for having a sense of humor about himself and the Batman TV show. He loved that fans would parody and pay tribute to the show over the decades. He even did so himself when he voiced the Caped Crusader in the 2017 animated film Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. Eminem has been similarly vocal in his love for superheroes. He got a chance to record the theme song for the blockbuster film Venom. He also praised the likes of Spider-Man and Batman during an interview with Genius.

“I’ve always been into comic books,” the rapper stated. “Spiderman, Hulk, old Batmans, Supermans — mostly vintage Marvel sh*t from before I was born. Just being able to have those pieces of history is crazy.” Eminem then went on to flex his comic book knowledge against other rappers who claim to be experts. “I would not want to face off with somebody comparing comic book knowledge,” he asserted. “But I know a pretty good amount.”

Hits By 50 Cent, Eminem, Lil Wayne, And More Were Remixed In 1950s Style By AI, And Fans Love It

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent’s breakout hit “In Da Club” isn’t the only song to get the AI remix treatment today. Remakes of faves from Eminem, Tupac, UGK, and more were remade in the style of 1950s doo-wop and rock hits, and are going viral on social media as fans are delighted by the juxtaposition of modern lyrics and songwriting philosophies with sounds that evoke a more wholesome time — at least, in comparison.

After all, rock and roll stars like Chuck Berry and Little Richard were plenty controversial in their day, much the same way Eminem drew fire for his deliberately provocative lyrics. Singers like Sam Cooke tackled divisive sociopolitical topics the same way Tupac did, and it’s important to remember that even Elvis — the original Eminem — were largely considered sex symbols whose work was too racy for the relatively conservative climate of the midcentury, even if they’re considered pretty tame by today’s standards. Check out some of the remakes below.

Lil Wayne: https://twitter.com/AllHHSessions/status/1799284198005706961/video/1
Tupac: https://twitter.com/AllHHSessions/status/1799548625107718366/video/1
Eminem: https://twitter.com/AllHHSessions/status/1799656245974225099/video/1
Ugk: https://twitter.com/AllHHSessions/status/1799670328399974413/video/1

Sisqo: https://twitter.com/AllHHSessions/status/1800049570568913201/video/1

AI in music has been considered a bit of a hot topic recently, with AI-generated songs drawing both derision and acclaim as the works become more popular. However, there are still plenty of fans and music industry professionals who see a need for legislation to control how and when AI can be used, before it’s too late.

Eminem’s ‘Houdini’ Video Would’ve Been Beloved By Adam West, According To The OG Batman’s Family

June 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem’s latest single “Houdini” might’ve pissed off a few people, including Megan Thee Stallion, Paul Rosenberg, and even his own children. But the comedic, action-packed video just earned praise from a very interesting party.

Today (June 9), Adam West’s family came out to show their support for the rapper’s official visual. In a statement provided to TMZ, Nina Tooley (the late actor’s daughter) gushed about how her dad would’ve loved the silly tribute to his famed Batman role.

“My dad would have loved the video,” she said. “I could hear my dad’s distinct chuckle when the rapper was trying to scale a building with the ‘Bat Rope’ just like he and [Burt Ward] did in the series.”

In the video, Eminem drew inspiration from one of the duo’s many ‘Bat Rope’ scenes. But instead of suiting as the mysterious vigilante, the rapper reprised his role as faithful sidekick Robin. This isn’t the first Eminem interjected his interest in comic into his work. In fact, Eminem first sported spandex back in 2002, for the official video for the chart-topping single “Without Me” with his longtime mentor and friend Dr. Dre by his side of Batman.

Dr. Dre made his superhero return in “Houdini.” The video also featured notable appearances by Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, The Alchemist, Pete Davidson, and Shane Gillis. With his forthcoming album, The Death Of Slim Shady, set to be his final LP, Eminem clearly wanted to go out with a cartoonish boom, snap, and pow.
