Eminem didn’t spare anyone’s feelings on his first single which signals the last of his Slim Shady character — he went after Dr. Dre, his own kids and even Megan Thee Stallion on this one.
On Friday, Em dropped both his newest single “Houdini” and the lyrics/visuals are exactly what you’d expect from hip hop’s biggest-selling artist by now — and so are the jabs that he fired off … like the one aimed at MTS, which touched on her Tory Lanez shooting.
The song sounds and looks like his 2002 “Without Me” classic … Em pokes fun at aging into a politically correct, social media/VR society — yet still dons the ‘ol Robin outfit and tackles today’s topics with his Batman — Dr. Dre — by his side. Eminem is in rare form here.
Tons of cameos are stuffed into the slapstick vid … Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, The Alchemist, Pete Davidson, Shane Gillis, — all contribute to the circus … as do his kids Alaina, newly married Hailie Jade, and Stevie, all of whom he flips the bird to.
Like we said, Em also pokes fun at Megan, rapping … “If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me / Would I really have a shot at a feat?”
It might sound like a harmless bar … but her injuries were no laughing matter at the time … and we suppose time will tell if/how Megan responds. We know she doesn’t like it when other artists have referenced the shooting in their music in the past … it’s been a whole thing.
There are also digs at the incarcerated R. Kelly and lines about transgender folks … fans have been giving J. Cole crap for similar lines … let’s see how the picket lines stack up for Em.
Clearly, the guy DGAF … and a lot of his fans love the approach here.
