Eminem Mocks His ‘Lyrical Miracle’ Rhymes in Hilarious Battle

Eminem faced off against his Slim Shady alter ego in a new interview for Complex’s The Face-Off series, promoting his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). In a viral moment from the video, Slim Shady teases Eminem for creating “lyrical miracle” raps instead of focusing on making entertaining songs.

“Everything that people think of when they think of Eminem is f*cking yours truly. From the blonde hair to the middle finger to the f*cking jokes — all of it, me. And if we’re being honest, the music that you’ve been dropping since I bounced ain’t it. Look man, nobody gives a f**k about your lyrical miracles you’re scaring the hoes. People wanna be entertained,” Shady tells Eminem at one point. Em retorts: “So you think it’s entertaining to just be a d*ckhead and piss people off?”

He further responded by pointing out Shady’s irrelevance in the current era: “Every other week on TikTok, Gen Z discovers you on Monday and cancels me on Tuesday. When was the last time you took a shot at someone who wasn’t a pop star, a non-rapping celebrity, or marginalized communities? It’s 2024, man. Let people live their lives. This has nothing to do with you. It’s not that hard. Just respect what people want to be called and keep it moving.” Check out the full back-and-forth below.
