The rollout for “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)” continues, and this time around, it’s a very Detroit affair.
Detroit is coming back with full force, as three generations of the city’s rappers are coming together on one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Eminem will drop his new album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) later this year, and on Friday (June 28), he announced the next phase of his rollout. Moreover, he unveiled a short but chainsaw-bloodied visual clip teasing the release of the new single “Tobey,” which will feature Big Sean and BabyTron. “Tobey Maguire got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat,” you can hear ‘Tron rap towards the end of the eerie snippet.
Tobey Maguire, of course, played the beloved titular role in 2002’s Spider-Man, but Eminem, Big Sean, and BabyTron represent Detroit GOATs. A lot of fans are very excited about this upcoming track, as folks might not have expected Marshall Mathers to link up with ‘Tron (he has other collabs with the Sean Don). The fact that it’s all three of them together just makes it all the merrier, and a Detroit-style instrumental after a beat switch would go absolutely hard. But we’ll be happy with whatever comes of this, and we’ll probably be surprised. After all, the “Houdini” lyricist has more than a few tricks up his sleeve.

Furthermore, Eminem recently achieved a tall but not at all shocking honor: landing on Lil Wayne’s top five MCs of all time list. No one really batted an eye at his placement on here, instead focusing on the obvious but currently charged choice from Weezy to put his Young Money partner Drake on there and not his 2024 beef rival Kendrick Lamar. What most fans really hope from The Death Of Slim Shady is that Em proves consistently and in at least corny of a way as possible why he deserves to be on there. But it seems like this project might lean into a tongue-in-cheek approach to his career, which is also very welcome.
