After some teasing on social media, Eminem returns with a new song and music video titled “Houdini.” From the actual song to the visuals, the whole thing reaches back to previous singles, especially the music video for “Without Me.” The storyline of the video features a young, prime version of Slim Shady squaring off against the current version.
“Houdini” serves as the first single from his next album, The Death of Slim Shady. Eminem has alluded to this project being his last with things like creating a fake obituary for Slim Shady in the Detroit Free Press or a fake true crime show. However, after listening to the song, it seems like he might be trying to get canceled on the way out. The Megan Thee Stallion line, “If I were to ask Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me / Would I really have a shot at a feat?” has already caused some outrage. Check out the music video below.
