Speaking on “The Howard Stern Show,” McCartney said he got an email from Swift, 31, telling him that she was initially going to put out “Evermore” on Dec. Eminem’s new 2020 album, “Music to Be Murdered By - Side B (Deluxe Edition)” In fact, earlier this week, McCartney talked about how Taylor Swift had the courtesy to move the surprise release of “Evermore” not once but twice out of respect for him.
EMINEM SLIM SHADY ALBUM RELEASE DATE PLUS
The new album features a diss track, “Zeus,” aimed at Snoop Dogg, plus a politically charged nod ( and accompanying music video) to the coronavirus pandemic titled “Gnat.”īut with Sir Paul, 78, having already put dibs on this release date, Slim Shady’s bum rush might seem, well, shady to the Beatle. That’s what Paul McCartney must be singing after Eminem dropped a surprise album Friday morning to give Macca some unexpected competition for his own previously announced release, “McCartney III.”Įm’s “ Music to Be Murdered By - Side B (Deluxe Edition)” is a 16-track sequel to “Music to Be Murdered By,” which also arrived as a surprise last January.

As well they should be - there are few rappers as wildly gifted verbally as Eminem.
Dre but also helmed in large doses by Marky and Jeff Bass, along with Marshall himself - mirrors his rhymes, with their spare, intricately layered arrangements enhancing his narratives, which are always at the forefront. Eminem's supreme gifts are an expansive vocabulary and vivid imagination, which he unleashes with wicked humor and unsparing anger in equal measure. There have been more violent songs in rap, but few more disturbing, and it's not because of what it describes, it's how he describes it - how the perfectly modulated phrasing enhances the horror and black humor of his words. Of course, nowhere is this more true than on "97 Bonnie and Clyde," a notorious track where he imagines killing his wife and then disposing of the body with his baby daughter in tow. This was unsettling in 1999, when nobody knew his back-story, and years later, when his personal turmoil is public knowledge, it still can be unsettling, because his words and delivery are that powerful. The Slim Shady LP bristles with this tension, since it's never always clear when Marshall Mathers is joking and when he's dead serious. Then, it wasn't clear to every listener that Eminem was, as they say, an unreliable narrator, somebody who slung satire, lies, uncomfortable truths, and lacerating insights with vigor and venom, blurring the line between reality and parody, all seemingly without effort. Given his subsequent superstardom, culminating in no less than an Academy Award, it may be easy to overlook exactly how demonized Eminem was once his mainstream debut album, The Slim Shady LP, grabbed the attention of pop music upon its release in 1999.
