Eminem has recently released a new music video for his song “Tobey,” which features Big Sean and BabyTron. In this visual, he recalls his Slim Shady era, complete with his iconic chainsaw and hockey mask from his Anger Management Tour in the early 2000s. Directed by Cole Bennet, the video showcases the three Detroit rappers, dressed as removal men, interacting with their doubles in a warehouse and other locations.
As the video progresses, Eminem delivers his closing verse while sitting on the front porch of his childhood home, reminiscent of the cover of The Marshall Mathers LP. He then takes a bold step by using a chainsaw on himself, symbolising the end of his Slim Shady alter ego.
The new single “Tobey” is the second release from Eminem’s upcoming 12th album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).” The album is set for release on Friday, July 12, and is expected to feature artists such as J. Cole, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Black Thought, JID, Tech N9ne, and Royce Da 5’9″, among others.
In the track, Eminem makes a bold statement, asserting his status as a G.O.A.T. and disputing his No. 5 ranking on Billboard and VIBE’s Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list. He expresses his disbelief at other rappers being ranked higher than him and finds the whole situation rather amusing.
With the album on the horizon, a leaked tracklist has surfaced, revealing exciting features. While the authenticity of the tracklist has yet to be verified, it has certainly captured the attention of fans. If the leaked tracklist is accurate, Eminem’s 12th album is expected to be exceptional.
Overall, Eminem’s latest music video is not only a throwback to his Slim Shady era but also a bold and powerful statement of his status in the rap industry. With his upcoming album on the way, fans and music enthusiasts alike can anticipate what Eminem has in store for them.
