商品の紹介

12枚目、4年半ぶりとなる待望のニュー・アルバム。タイトルは「Slim Shadyの死(とどめの一撃)」という意味で、アートワークには、Eminemの分身であるSlim Shadyが顔を覗かせる。
アルバムには、Skylar Grey、White Gold、JIDほか、豪華ゲスト陣が参加し、先行トラック「Houdini」、Big SeanやBabytronがゲスト参加した「Tobey」を含む全19曲が収録。アルバム最後のトラック「Somebody Save Me」では、Eminemの娘と自身が会話する音声から始まり、父親として至らなかった若き自分に対する後悔の念や、3人娘へ詫びるメッセージを歌い、エモーショナルな楽曲で本作の幕を閉じている。

Eminems journey to the top would have been a different story without Slim Shady, the exaggerated persona he passed the mike to when it was time to fire off his most offensive and attention-grabbing lyrics. Crass and problematic but rarely serious, the Slim Shady character provided a needed foil to the often-tortured Marshall Mathers, and was the star of many of Eminems earliest hits. He returns on concept album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), in which the two sides of the rappers personality face off in a fight to the end. Returning from the early 2000s to 2024 with a lot of the same jokes, references, and tired points of view, Slim spends the front half of the album spewing as much seemingly random verbal menace as possible, aiming loosely at cancel culture, Gen Z, pronoun usage, and wokeism. Still an undeniably gifted rapper, Eminem gives a strong showing of his multi-leveled wordplay and dexterous flow. "Habits" has the pop sparkle that took him from the underground to the radio, and while the inclusion of "Brand New Dance" is questionable at best (the song was shelved in 2004 and is devoted to mocking quadriplegic actor Christopher Reeve, who died that same year), the chunky beat and sinister chorus are surefire nostalgia for times when Slim Shady was dominating mainstream culture. For the most part, however, The Death of Slim Shady is a bewildering slog to get through. The general concept gets old almost immediately, and from there were left with a painful lack of new ideas. Eminem does what hes done before: recycles a classic rock hook for the chorus of "Houdini," switches into a faster-than-fast chopper flow at the end of "Lucifer," and closes with an emotional ballad on "Somebody Save Me," complete with a heartstring-tugging hook from Jelly Roll. The pacing is as confusing as the generally shaky concept, as the standoff between Marshall and Slim Shady reaches its bloody conclusion six tracks before the album ends. Even approaching The Death of Slim Shady as generously as possible -- one of the most skilled rappers of all time knowingly denouncing his former self as out of touch and no longer part of his world view -- its still difficult to understand why he stretches this thin idea out over an entire album. The "edgy" humor struggles to land, the transphobic and anti-woke lyrics are more embarrassing than sad, and even if the point is that Slim Shadys once shocking perspectives have passed their expiry date, theres very little inspiration to drive this idea home. Much as with the last several albums that came before it, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) is really about Eminem grappling with age, his place in rap culture, and his relationship with his own celebrity and artistry so many years in. It debuted at the top of the charts like most of his studio albums before it, but even Eminems consistent commercial success cant save him from his growing irrelevance, truly a fate worse than death. ~ Fred Thomas

ラップ・ゴッドの4年半ぶりの新作では自身のオルターエゴ=スリム・シェイディが復活。その〈死〉を冠しているものの先行曲"Houdini"から昨今のポリコレな風潮を笑い飛ばすように名指しで毒づきまくり、かつてのエミネム・ショウを彷彿とさせる面も。一方でジェリー・ロールが参加した"Somebody Save Me"など娘たちを想う曲もあり、真の姿も垣間見える。
