“I’m back because you got your nuts tucked so tightly between your legs, Caitlyn Jenner would be jealous,” Slim Shady told Mathers.
Mathers responded, “Are you just allergic to not being an a######?”
Slim Shady maintained his carefree attitude while Mathers grappled with the reality of offending people over the years. Mathers blamed Slim Shady for Gen Z “canceling” Eminem.
“Say it with me now, Marshall: I just don’t give a f###,” Slim Shady declared.
Mathers fired back, “Of course, you don’t ‘cause you’re a f###### cartoon character. You’re like f###### Cartman, Family Guy. You can’t be canceled. Every other week on TikTok, Gen Z discovers you on Monday and cancels me on Tuesday.”
“The Face-Off” comes shortly after Eminem dropped his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), which topped the Billboard 200 chart, knocking Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department from the top spot after 12 weeks. This album marked Eminem’s eleventh No. 1, putting him on par with Kanye West, Bruce Springsteen, and Barbra Streisand for the fifth most No. 1 albums in Billboard history. The Death of Slim Shady sold over 281,000 equivalent album units in its first week in the U.S., making it the highest-selling Hip-Hop album in 2024. You can stream Eminem’s new album featuring J.I.D, Big Sean, Babytron, Jelly Roll, and more.
