Contrary to belief, Gen Zers have not called for Eminem to be canceled amid the release of Houdini, the lead single from the rapper’s latest studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). Despite stirring disappointment, Marshall Mathers mostly sparked a battle of the generations.
Houdini, which was released on May 31, makes a punchline out of both Megan Thee Stallion’s 2020 shooting and contemporary identity politics.
The highly anticipated track opened at Number 2 on the Hot 100 singles chart, representing Eminem’s best solo showing since 2010, The New York Times reported on Sunday (July 14).
