Eminem isn't missing his alter ego at all ahead of his brand-new album.
The Detroit native decided to embrace the "HAWK TUAH" memes that have been going around lately thanks to viral sensation Hailey Welch. In a video he posted to social media on Wednesday, July 10, Em visits the grave site of Slim Shady and hawks a loogie at the tombstone, which reads "Beloved Antagonist. Slim Shady, 1997 - 2024. It feels so empty without him." The video is one of several Em has released that falls in line with the theme of his 12th studio LP, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
The video was posted after Em posted the album's official cover, which features Slim Shady in a body bag. It also arrived just as the tracklist for the album was confirmed. According to Billboard, the album will contain 19 tracks including his recent singles "Houdini" and "Tobey" featuring Big Sean and BabyTron. It also has a sequel to his classic 1999 collaboration with Dr. Dre, "Guilty Conscience." There are no other confirmed features listed, however, "leaked" versions of the tracklist have appearances from frequent collaborators Royce Da 5'9", Skylar Grey, 50 Cent, and more.
