Even Eminem would admit he’s a little insane in the membrane. For evidence, look no further than some of his past lyrics. The Detroit MC has been credited with some of the most vile and morbid rhymes in hip-hop history. Being that he’s one of the G.O.A.T.s when it comes to wordplay, Eminem can get descriptively gory when it comes to describing his horror movie-esque twisted fantasies on wax. Early Eminem tracks rapped as his alter-ego Slim Shady were especially dark, including songs like “’97 Bonnie & Clyde,” “Kim” and “Kill You.”
While the 51-year-old rapper has cut back a bit on the visceral carnage in recent LPs, he has a new album titled The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) coming soon. The lead single “Houdini,” released on May 31, finds Em delivering plenty of outlandish bars, including a line about Megan Thee Stallion he received backlash for. It has the vintage Slim Shady feel. But it lacks the gore factor.
With the rollout of his new album, the Detroit rap god has been hinting at a possible end of some sort. Along with a true crime-themed trailer, he even had a faux obituary printed in the Detroit Free Press back in May.
“Ultimately, the very things that seemed to be the tools he used became calling cards that defined an existence that could only come to a sudden and horrific end,” the obit reads “His complex and tortured existence has come to a close, and the legacy he leaves behind is no closer to resolution than the manner in which this character departed this world. May he truly find the peace in an afterlife that he could not find on Earth.”
Does this mean the demise of the Slim Shady alter-ego that provided fans with so many macabre mementos? Time will tell.
As the Slim Shady era appears to be coming to an end, check out 20 of Eminem’s most descriptively gory lyrics below.

”3:AM”
“I remember the first time I dismembered a family member/December, I think it was, I was having drinks with my cousin/I wrapped him in Christmas lights/Pushed him into the stinkin’ tub, cut him up into pieces/And just when I went to drink his blood/I thought, ‘I oughta drink his bathwater, that oughta be fun’”
”Role Model”
“I’m running out of the morgue with your dead grandmother’s corpse to throw it on your porch”
“Insane”
“Then he took the chainsaw, bit the f**kin’ blades off/Ate the blades, stuck a baseball in a slingshot/Then he aimed at his own face, let the thing pop/Took his eye out, picked it up and played ping pong”

”Same Song and Dance”
“Should I cut off one of my ears and mail it to her?/Send her pictures of my collection of skeletons, or/Footage of me impaling myself on an elephant tusk?/We’ll settle this once and for all, I’ma tell her at dusk”
”Music Box”
“Voices are leading me up to the attic, I love my house/They pull and they tug my blouse, the sound of a music box/Comes from inside a toy chest, but what do I do? It’s locked/I pick it and open it, but it’s stuffed full of human parts/I dig ’til I find it, I wind it up, and the tune just starts/It’s playing a song, so beautiful, and the room is dark/The moon is full, I smell a funeral, guess I’ll loom in the park”
”Role Model”
“Hilarly Clinton tried to slap me and called me a pervert/I ripped her f**king tonsils out and fed her sherbert”
“Dead Wrong”
“There’s several different levels to Devil worshipin’/Horses’ heads, human sacrifices, cannibalism, candles and exorcism”

“My Name Is”
“I smacked him in his face with an eraser/Chased him with a stapler/And stapled his nuts to a stack of paper”
“Same Song and Dance”
“Give me the Valium alley-oop/I’ll slam dunk it in your mouth ’til you puke/And just as soon as you pass out in your alphabet soup/I’m ’bout to make a new outfit out of you”
“My Dad’s Gone Crazy”
“It’s tongue-in-cheek, I’d yank my fuckin’ teeth/Before I’d ever bite my tongue, I’d slice my gums/Get struck by f**kin’ lightning twice at once”

“Role Model”
“I tie a rope to my penis and jump from a tree/Don’t you wanna grow up to be just like me?”
