INDOZONE.ID - Menjelang perilisan albumnya yang baru, The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe de Grâce), rapper kulit putih Eminem merilis single utama "Houdini."
Setelah perilisannya semenjak akhir Mei lalu, lagu Eminem ini menjadi perbincangan hangat di kalangan netizen. Beberapa fans bersorak atas kembalinya Eminem, apalagi setelah melihat video klipnya yang menampilkan persona Slim Shady yang telah tidak ia gunakan.
Mengutip XXL Magz, lagu baru yang menggebrak ini diproduksi oleh Luis Resto dan Em, serta menggunakan sampel dari hit Steve Miller Band tahun 1982, "Abracadabra."
Lagu ini memiliki nuansa klasik ala Eminem. Seperti biasa, veteran hip-hop ini menampilkan permainan kata tingkat elit dalam lagunya, membuktikan mengapa dia masih dianggap sebagai salah satu G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time) dalam lirik, sambil menyajikan beberapa lirik yang mengejutkan khas dirinya.

"Houdini," dengan sampul seni yang menampilkan kalimat "Guess Who's Back? And for My Last Trick," adalah petunjuk terbaru dari bos Shady Records bahwa ia mungkin akan melakukan semacam aksi menghilang dalam karirnya setelah perilisan album ini. Apakah itu berarti dia akan menggantung mikrofonnya atau "membunuh" alter ego Slim Shady-nya, masih belum dapat dipastikan.

Verse 1
Well, look what the stork brung (What?)
Little baby devil with the forked tongue
And it's stickin' out, yeah, like a sore thumb (Blah)
With a forehead that it grew horns from, still a White jerk
Pullin' up in a Chrysler to the cypher
With the Vics, percs and a Bud Light shirt
Lyrical technician, an electrician, y'all light work
And I don't got to play pretend you that you I make believe
And you know I'm here to stay 'cause me (Why?)
If I was to ever take a leave, it would be at spring to break a fever
If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me
Would I really have a shot at a feat? I don't know, but I'm glad to be, back like-
Chorus
Abra, abracadabra (And for my last trick)
I'm 'bout to reach in my bag
Abra, abracadabra (And for my last trick)
And just like that I'm back
Verse 2
Now, back in the days of old me
When right around the time I became a dope fiend
Ate some codeine, as a way of copin', taste of opiates, case of O.E. (Mmm)
Turned me into a smiley face emoji
My s**t may not be age-appropriate
But I will hit an 8-year-old in the face with a participation trophy
'Cause I have zero doubts, that this whole world's 'bout to turn into some girl scouts
That censorship bureau's out to shut me down
So when I started this verse, it did start off lighthearted first
But it feels like I'm targeted, mind-bogglin' how my profit has skyrocketed
Look what I pocketed
Yeah, the s**t is just like y'all have been light joggin'
And I've been runnin' full speed, and that's why I'm ahead like my noggin'
And I'm the fight y'all get in, when you debate who the best, but opps, I'm white chalkin'
When I step up to that mic, cock it then
"Oh my God, it's him, not again"

Chorus
Abra-abracadabra (And for my last trick)
I'm 'bout to reach in my bag, bruh
Abra-abracadabra (And for my last trick)
And just like that I'm back, bro
Bridge
Some times I wonder what the old me'd say (If what?)
If he could see the way s**t is today (Look at this shit, man)
He'd probably say that everything is gay (Like happy)
What's my name? What's my name? (Slim Shady)
Verse 3
So how many little kids still wanna act like me? (Ha-ha)
I'm a bigger prick than cacti be (Yeah)
And that's why these (What?) words sting just like when bein' attacked by bees (Bzzz)
In the coupe, leanin' back my seat (What?)
Bumpin' R. Kelly's favorite group, the Black Eyed Peas (Guy pees)
In my Air Max 90s, white Tees, walkin' parental advisory
My transgender cat's Siamese, identifies as Black, but acts Chinese
Like a muthaf**kin' Hacky Sack, I treat (What?) the whole world 'cause I got it at my feet (Yeah)
How can I explain to you (What?) that even myself I'm a danger to? (Yeah)
I hop on tracks like a kangaroo, and say a few things or two to anger you
But f**k that, if I think that s**t, I'ma say that s**t
Cancel me, what? OK, that's it, go ahead Paul, quit
Snake-a*s prick, you male cross dresser, fake-a*s b***h
And I'll probably get s**t for that (Watch)
But you can all suck my d**k, in fact, f**k them, f**k Dre, f**k Jimmy, f**k me, f**k you
F**k my own kids, they're brats (F**k 'em)
They can screw off, them and you all (Yeah)
You too, Paul, got two balls, big as RuPaul's
What you thought you saw (What?), ain't what you saw (Nah)
'Cause you're never gonna see me
Caught sleepin' and see the kidnappin' never did happen
Like Sherri Papini, Harry Houdini
I vanish into the thin air as I'm leavin' like-
Chorus
Abra-abracadabra (And for my last trick)
I'm 'bout to reach in my bag, bruh
Abra-abracadabra (And for my last trick)
And just like that I'm back, bro
