Eminem has once again set the internet ablaze with the release of his 12th studio album, “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).” Among the 19 tracks on the album, the song “Antichrist” has garnered particular attention for its provocative lyrics and name-drops of two of the hottest names in rap today: Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj.

In true Eminem fashion, the track “Antichrist” features the rapper’s signature wordplay and controversial references. A standout line in the song goes, “But if you wonder why is Marsh considered the harshest spitter (Why?) / ‘Cause I can spit a bar like it’s a / Cross between Nas and GZA, Biggie Smalls, and RZA / So hard, Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj’ll scissor (Cut it out).” This lyric not only showcases Eminem’s adeptness at weaving in references to legendary 90s rap icons but also cleverly nods to current chart-toppers, Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj.

Eminem’s latest work is described as a conceptual album that is meant to be experienced in the sequence of the tracklist. This artistic directive has piqued the curiosity of fans, making “Antichrist” one of the standout tracks due to its high-profile mentions and the ensuing online discourse.

Megan Thee Stallion, whose album “Megan” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart last month, has also been in the spotlight for her own lyrical prowess. Her song “Mamushi,” featuring Yuki Chiba, has taken social media by storm, and another track, “Hiss,” contains a line that many believe to be a jab at Eminem. In “Hiss,” Megan raps, “I feel like Mariah Carey / Got these n***as so obsessed,” a line reminiscent of Carey’s famous feud with Eminem.

Nicki Minaj’s history with Eminem is also notable, beginning with their collaboration on her “Pink Friday” album with the track “Roman’s Revenge.” Minaj once revealed that Eminem had requested a different submission for their collaboration, asking for something more aligned with his style. Their musical partnership continued with the 2018 track “Majesty.”

“The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)” is a testament to Eminem’s enduring impact on the rap scene, featuring tracks like “Renaissance,” “Habits,” “Trouble,” “Brand New Dance,” “Evil,” “Antichrist,” and “Road Rage.” The album is available on all major streaming platforms, adding yet another chapter to Eminem’s storied career.

With “Antichrist,” Eminem not only pays homage to the legends of the past but also acknowledges the dynamic talents shaping the future of rap. The interplay of these elements within his lyrics ensures that Eminem remains a compelling and controversial figure in the music industry.
