The rapper also dedicated another song off his new ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’ album to his three children

Eminem has just released his latest album, ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),’ and it is stirring up quite the emotions.

This 19-track album, which hit the shelves on Friday, July 12, marks the end of Eminem’s alter ego, Slim Shady. Throughout its buildup, there have been numerous hints and the dramatic title itself suggest this change. While the album touches on many things, one track, in particular, ‘Temporary,’ delves deep into his emotions concerning death. Featuring the talent of singer Skylar Grey, the song also includes heartwarming recordings of Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Jade, as a toddler.

The song’s introduction reveals its purpose: to comfort Hailie, now 28, whenever Eminem, her father, passes away.

At the start of the track, Eminem candidly shares, “A lot of people ask me, am I afraid of death? The truth is, I think what scares me the most is not being able to say all the things I wanna say to you when I’m no longer here. So this song is for Hailie, for when that day comes.”

This touching track weaves audio from toddler Hailie throughout, as Eminem raps about being there for her, even when he’s no longer around: “Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song / To help you cope with life now that I’m gone / How should I start? Just wanna say / Look after Alaina, Stevie, and Uncle Nate.”

In another stirring verse, he adds, “And, sweetie, be strong, I know I was your rock / And I still am, saying goodbye is just not / Ever easy, why you crying? Just stop / Hailie, baby, dry your eye, this is not Forever.”

Another heartfelt song on Eminem’s album is ‘Somebody Save Me,’ dedicated to Hailie as well as his other two children, Alaina, 31, and Stevie Laine, 22. All three kids he shares with his ex-wife Kim Scott.

This track incorporates Jelly Roll’s ‘Save Me’ chorus and is a touching apology to his children for times missed during his struggles with substance abuse. Eminem voices his remorse: “Sorry that I chose drugs and put ’em above you / Sorry that I didn’t love you enough to / Give ’em up, how the f— do I not love you more than a pill? / Lookin’ up to the ceilin’ from this floor wonder will.”

In his second verse, he reflects, “Alaina, sorry that you had to hear me fall in the bathroom… Stevie, I’m sorry, I missed you / Grow up and I didn’t get to / Be the dad I wanted to be to you / Things I wanted to see you do / This is my song from me to you / Sorry I gave up, but I’m just so defeated.”

Eminem has always expressed his deep love for his kids in his music with songs like ‘Mockingbird,’ ‘When I’m Gone,’ and ‘Hailie’s Song.’ Recently, the three children featured in a humorous FaceTime call in the ‘Houdini’ music video, where they playfully acted shocked hearing their dad rap, ”F— my own kids, they’re brats / They can screw off, them and you all.”
