Eminem's latest album, titled 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),' serves as a conceptual farewell to his infamous alter ego, Slim Shady, featuring a funeral theme and an A.I.-generated interview.

The 14-minute interview, released by Complex, showcases a conversation between Eminem and a younger version of himself, created using advanced face-swap technology.

This interview not only reflects on Eminem's career but also symbolizes a farewell to the Slim Shady character, highlighting the evolution of his artistry.

In the conversation, Eminem critiques Slim Shady for relying on shock value and failing to evolve with his audience over his 26-year career.

He acknowledges that the Slim Shady persona exacerbated his personal struggles, leading him to self-medicate and jeopardizing both his career and personal life.

Eminem attributes his past addiction issues to the influence of Slim Shady, stating that distancing himself from that persona has significantly improved his life.

He credits his children as a major motivation for maintaining sobriety, sharing that he has replaced addiction with exercise, particularly running.

In a recent interview, Eminem announced his intention to permanently retire Slim Shady, marking a significant shift in his artistic direction.

The album features provocative lyrics that reflect Slim Shady's controversial style while also acknowledging the need for growth and change in today's cultural landscape.

It takes aim at various public figures, including Caitlyn Jenner and Christopher Reeve, while achieving another No. 1 ranking on the Billboard charts.

Prior to the album's release, Eminem published an obituary for Slim Shady in the Detroit Free Press, symbolizing the character's metaphorical death.

The accompanying music video for 'Houdini' features a comic book-style battle between Eminem and Slim Shady, representing the conflict between his past and present selves.
