50 Cent Reviews Eminem’s ‘the Death Of Slim Shady’ Album

Renowned rapper and G-Unit founder, 50 Cent, has shared his thoughts on Eminem’s latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).” The album, which has garnered significant attention and debate, is being lauded by some as Eminem’s best work in over a decade.

On July 15, 50 Cent took to Instagram to express his admiration for the album. “Yo @eminem shit is crazy it takes me a while to understand the details of this one,” he wrote, indicating the album’s intricate and layered nature. The post also included a graphic revealing that “The Death of Slim Shady” had surpassed 100 million streams within just two days of its release.

While 50 Cent’s endorsement highlights the album’s immediate impact, not all reactions have been positive. Political commentator Candace Owens, who is directly targeted in one of the album’s tracks, has publicly criticized Eminem. In the Dr. Dre-produced song “Lucifer,” Eminem delivers a scathing critique of Owens, rapping: “And Candace O, I ain’t mad at her/ I ain’t gon’ throw the fact bitch forgot she was Black back at her/ Laugh at her like them crackers she’s backin’ after her back is turned/ In a cute MAGA hat with her brand-new White Lives Matter shirt.”

In retaliation, Owens dedicated an eight-minute segment of her podcast to denouncing Eminem, going as far as to accuse him of being gay. “First thing I wanna say is Eminem is obviously a gay man. It’s very sad that Eminem cleaned out his closet but never came out of his closet,” she stated, referencing his 2002 hit “Cleanin’ Out My Closet.” Owens continued her tirade by suggesting that Eminem’s career is in decline and claiming that her response was intended to help him stay relevant.

Beyond Owens, the album also features controversial lyrics directed at Diddy, referencing his alleged history of sexual assault and his tumultuous relationship with ex-girlfriend Cassie. In the track “Antichrist,” Eminem raps: “Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his ass beat worse than Diddy did/ But on the real, though/ She prolly ran out the room with his fuckin’ dildo/ He try to field goal punt her, she said to chill/ Now put it back in my ass and get the steel toe.”

Eminem also teams up with JID on the song “Fuel,” where he touches on the violent deaths of fellow rap legends Biggie and Tupac. He raps: “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R/ Got so many S-As, S-As/ Wait, he didn’t just spell the word ‘rapper’ and leave out a P, did he?/ R.I.P., rest in peace Biggie/ And ‘Pac, both of y’all should be living/ But I ain’t tryna beef with him/ ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did him.”

As “The Death of Slim Shady” continues to rack up streams and stir conversations, it’s clear that Eminem remains a polarizing figure in the music industry. Whether hailed as a masterpiece or criticized for its controversial content, the album ensures that Eminem’s influence and ability to provoke thought are as potent as ever.
