Eminem’s ‘The Death of Slim Shady’ Album: All Tracks Ranked

Yep, he’s back. Shady’s back, tell a friend. Eminem returned on Friday (July 12) to deliver his highly-anticipated The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) album.

The new LP marks Em’s first album since 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By as he seeks a 10th consecutive chart-topper on the Billboard 200.

Mere hours before the project arrived, Eminem revealed that TDOSS is actually a “conceptual album” and he urged fans to listen to the project from front-to-back how he intended without skipping around to their favorites.

“Public service announcement: the ‘death of slim shady’ is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense,” he wrote. “Enjoy.”

Em kicked off The Death of Slim Shady‘s rollout with “Houdini,” which landed at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for his highest charting entry of the decade. He followed-up with “Tobey” featuring Big Sean and BabyTron earlier in July, which debuted at No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Eminem peppered collabs throughout the project with special guest appearances from Jelly Roll, J.I.D, Skylar Grey, Bizarre, Ez Mil and more.

Even at 51 years old, Em has remained a commercial titan and one of the premier voices in hip-hop with a Hall of Fame résumé that can go toe-to-toe with any of his peers.

And when Slim Shady drops, it’s all eyes on him with the culture giving him its undivided attention. Billboard ran through all 19 tracks from The Death of Slim Shady and ranked the entire LP sans skits below.
