With the death of his alter-ego Slim Shady that he packaged as a concept album, Eminem celebrates the album as a work of art and also closes out an era. And he also scores a big hit with “Houdini,” but also joins the “gallery of greats” in another way; he enters the Billboard 100 with sixteen songs, bringing his total number of listings to 112, and he also tops the album chart for the eleventh time with “The Death Of Slim Shady”; he only has to surpass Drake, Taylor Swift, Jay-Z and The Beatles. Musically, Eminem makes an old-fashioned effort: he raps, spits, taunts and samples even the Dutch glory Mouth & MacNeal.
