Is Eminem Releasing a Deluxe Album for The Death of Slim Shady?

Is Eminem planning to release a deluxe album of The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)? Fans hope so.

A day after Eminem released his 12th album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), fans are buzzing with speculation about a potential deluxe version of the project. On Friday, July 12, a user on Shady Times on X (formerly known as Twitter) raised a question about the absence of Eminem’s long-time collaborators, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, on the album.

“Wasn’t 50 Cent and Dre confirmed they had features on Eminem’s album during the Jimmy Kimmel appearance? @Eminem, what you’re up to? Side B all over again,” the user wrote, expressing confusion and curiosity. This post has led to considerable speculation among fans, given that expectations were set for these collaborations to appear on the album.

The user further mentioned that he recalled 50 Cent suggesting he would feature on the album. He also wondered why Royce da 5’9″, another close friend and frequent collaborator of Eminem, was missing from the album.

“Pretty sure 50 said they got something coming and they were talking about Em’s album at that point, not sure about Dre though, maybe he was talking about production. Also, no Royce on the album is wild; I feel like they worked on several songs in the last few months,” he added.

Back in March 2024, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg were guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after Dre received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. During their conversation, the trio discussed the possibility of new music from Eminem. Dr. Dre confirmed that Eminem was working on The Death of Slim Shady project and hinted at having a production role rather than a lyrical one.

Despite Dre’s confirmation, the absence of Royce da 5’9″ from the album remains a point of curiosity. Fans are holding out hope that additional music involving these artists might be released as part of a deluxe album.

In related news, Genius reported that there was a Bonus Tracks version of The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) available for pre-order on Eminem’s official website. This version includes two extra tracks: “Like My S**t” and “Kyrie & Luka” featuring 2 Chainz. This revelation has further fueled the discussions about a possible deluxe edition.

Fan theories and discussions have picked up traction, and a speculative tweet from a fan has garnered attention. These speculations are amplified by Dr. Dre’s comments during his Jimmy Kimmel appearance, leading fans to believe that a deluxe album announcement could be forthcoming.

For now, fans of Eminem will have to wait and see if their hopes for a deluxe edition of The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) will be realized. The anticipation remains high, and any new music from Eminem is sure to generate significant excitement.
