Eminem has violence on his mind — as in America’s mass shootings, and the Ariana Grande-concert bombing — and poured his thoughts into a surprise album filled with dark images.
He unexpectedly dropped “Music to Be Murdered By” at midnight, and if the title doesn’t say it all … the lead single, “Darkness” and its music video will. The video recreates the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting and imagines the thoughts of the shooter.
Em seems to be sitting in a room at the Mandalay Bay — just as the mass murderer did that night — as he loads up on booze and then opens fire.
Another track on the record called “Unaccommodating” references the violence at Ariana’s Manchester show, also from 2017. Em raps, “I’m contemplating yelling ‘bombs away’ on the game like I’m outside an Ariana Grande concert.”
