Eminem unleashes full force in latest track.
Internationally acclaimed US rapper Eminem has made a comeback with a new single after a gap of four years since his last album, "Music to Be Murdered By." The newly released single from his upcoming twelfth studio album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)" is a sure controversy starter.
Denoted as the controversial musician that Eminem is, the first single "Houdini" has sparked speculations and debates following its release on Friday. The renowned rapper hints at retirement in the song while also daringly taking jabs at fellow musicians and the world at large. However, his statements carry a cryptic and contradictory tone, making their true meaning unclear.
The rapper's explicit diss of US drag queen RuPaul is one of the few specific instances in the song. He labels him "snake bitch," "male transvestite," and "fake slut" throughout the lyrics. His playful jabs are also directed at Rapper Megan Thee Stallion and Singer R. Kelly, each receiving a subtle dig from the rapper.
Balancing Insults and Humor
Despite the apparent disrespect, Eminem's outcry remains within acceptable limits. While the rapper has been accused of homophobia in the past, "Houdini" seems to take a more comical turn, with Eminem seemingly relishing his insults more for dramatic and humorous reasons than due to genuine malice.
In some of the more humorous lines, Eminem expresses his love for his children using the F-word, and indulges in sarcastic commentary about his own cat. He sings, "My transgender cat is Siamese/Identifies as black but behaves like Chinese." Additionally, he proudly proclaims, "I'm a bigger asshole than cacti are/That's why these words pierce you like you're getting stung by bees."
As it turns out, die-hard fans of Eminem have already hailed the song a new classic, responding enthusiastically to his witty and unapologetic display of verbal acrobatics displayed in "Houdini." Their excitement is on full display in the comments section of Eminem's Instagram post about the single.
