Eminem is still tugging on fans' heartstrings and making them shed a few tears, as he has released the official music video for his The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) song "Temporary" featuring Skylar Grey. The video is a touching homage to his daughter, Hailie Jade, speculating on what the Detroit rapper's last words would be to her at the time of his passing.
The visuals are a deep dive into intimate family moments, featuring old home video footage of Hailie as a child, which is sure to send fans on a nostalgic trip. Mixed with these are tearful scenes from her wedding, and, perhaps most heartwarming of all, the emotional reveal that Hailie is now pregnant, making Eminem a soon-to-be grandfather.
This side of Marshall Mathers is especially poignant for longtime followers of his career. Many have grown up listening to him reference Hailie in countless tracks, but now seeing him witness her transition into this new phase of life adds a layer of depth to his music that fans may not have expected. The blend of his signature reflective lyrics and the deeply personal visuals creates a rare emotional experience that feels authentic and touching.
With the tender tribute, Eminem offers a glimpse of his vulnerability as a father and, now, a future grandfather. His connection with Hailie has always been a central part of his narrative, but the inclusion of these life milestones adds a full-circle element that fans will no doubt appreciate. As his voice wavers through reflective lyrics about love, legacy, and mortality, the visuals serve as a perfect companion piece, amplifying the heartfelt message that feels like a final note of wisdom for his daughter.
This music video also marks a major moment for Eminem as an artist, transitioning from the controversial rapper who once dominated headlines with his rebellious persona to a more introspective figure, finding peace and perspective in family. Eminem fans, prepare yourselves: this journey through fatherhood, memories, and the impending arrival of a grandchild will not leave you with dry eyes.
