Eminem continues to make noise with his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The Grammy-nominated LP, released in July 2024, has officially surpassed 1.3 million streams on Spotify, according to the latest figures from KWORB. This milestone highlights the Detroit rapper’s long-lasting impact on the music industry and his solid fanbase.
Alongside this amazing achievement, the album is up for Best Rap Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards, further cementing its critical acclaim. Its standout single, “Houdini,” has also snagged nominations for Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video, solidifying Eminem’s reputation as a master storyteller and lyricist.
Adding to his accolades, Eminem has been nominated for induction into the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF) for 2025. Eligible 20 years after their first major release, nominees are selected for their contributions to the craft of songwriting. The SHOF highlighted iconic tracks such as “Lose Yourself,” “Stan,” “Mockingbird,” “Houdini,” and “Rap God” as representative of Eminem’s groundbreaking catalog. Voting remains open until December 22nd, 2024, with the winners set to be honored at the Induction & Awards Gala on June 12th in New York City.
On another note, Eminem is stepping into a surprising role this year: comedy. Reports suggest that the rap legend has filmed a cameo for Adam Sandler’s highly anticipated Happy Gilmore sequel. According to an insider, Eminem was “a total pleasure to work with” on set, bringing his humor and charisma to the project. The source praised the “Rap God” for his comedic acting skills, noting that he had fun embracing the lighthearted role. Fellow rapper Kid Cudi is also set to star in the film, making it a must-watch for fans of both music and movies.
Nonetheless, it’s been a monumental year for Eminem, who continues to prove his versatility as both a music icon and cultural force. Whether breaking streaming records, earning Grammy nominations, or expanding his creative horizons, Eminem remains at the top of his game. With that being said, fans can look forward to an exciting 2025, with both more accolades and surprises on the way.
