Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj are among the names-drops on Eminem‘s new album.
With the song “Antichrist,” which he names Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, Eminem’s 12th studio album, “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce),” generates internet buzz and conversation.
With his 12th studio album, “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce),” Eminem is carrying on his custom of name-dropping fellow musicians. In the new song “Antichrist,” Eminem references Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, garnering major interest from both reviewers and listeners. Eminem raps in “Antichrist,” “But if you wonder why is Marsh considered the harshest spitter (Why?) / ‘Cause I can spit a bar like it’s a / Cross between Nas and GZA, Biggie Smalls, and RZA / So hard, Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj’ll scissor (Cut it out),” a line that highlights his wordplay and maybe references the singer SZA. This song exposes Eminem’s ability to replicate modern chart-topping artists with 1990s rap giants.
Previously, Eminem said his new album is conceptual and should be listened to in the track-mentioned sequence. Fans have been attracted by this direction; “Antichrist” particularly stands out because of its references to Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj.
Released last month, Megan Thee Stallion’s most recent album “Megan,” has ascended to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. While “Hiss” recalls Mariah Carey’s song “Obsessed,” which is allegedly to take a jab at Eminem, her tune “Mamushi” featuring Yuki Chiba has gone social media crazy. Megan raps, “I feel like Mariah Carey / Got these n***as so obsessed,” adding more conjecture about a lyrical interaction with Eminem.
First working together on her “Pink Friday” album, Eminem and Nicki Minaj worked on the song “Roman’s Revenge.” Minaj once said, “He didn’t love one record I sent him. He stated, “Can you send me something that’s a little more me?” not “I don’t love it.” Their collaboration carried on with the 2018 single “Majesty”.
Including titles like “Renaissance,” “Habits,” “Trouble,” “Brand New Dance,” “Evil,” “Antichrist,” and “Road Rage,” Eminem’s “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)” boasts 19 tracks. Available on all streaming platforms, the album marks still another milestone in Eminem’s explosive career.
