Eminem released his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” in July. In early October he uploaded a new music video for the song Temporary, featuring Skylar Grey. The song, an ode to his daughter Hailie, features audio and video of her growing up. It also features something that might make you feel very old.
Near the end of the video, there is a clip of Hailie joining her father on the steps of a back porch. She presents him with a customized Detroit Lions jersey that is revealed to say “GRANDPA.”
Between this and Dr. Dre preparing for the 2028 Olympics it’s hard to make heads or tails of where we are as a society. But it’s safe to say that those two will not be standing next to a burned-down house with a can full of gas and a handful of matches again anytime soon. Yes, that reference is about a quarter century old, which puts the whole grandparent thing in perspective.
