Talk:The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)

Cover art
Hello, according to this, the cover art of this record is a 1×1 all black picture, leaving it blank is really not the way to go. Yes, it may be updated on the 12th, but for the time being that's the cover art and we shouldn't ignore it.  dxneo  (talk) 17:35, 5 July 2024 (UTC)


 * On Eminem's official website, you can presave the album without there being any cover art present. This most likely means that the cover is still being kept hidden. Plus, it's not uncommon for cover arts to be blank or a plain color as placeholders. 190.238.75.113 (talk) 17:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It appears that Amazon also has this black square placeholder. 190.238.75.113 (talk) 17:44, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * My point exactly.  dxneo  (talk) 17:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not disagreeing with you. All I'm saying is that, for the time being, that's all the information we have. It can always be updated when the "official" cover art surface.  dxneo  (talk) 17:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright, can't complain with that. For now, I think the black square can be kept or not. Depends on how quickly we get updates on the cover. 190.238.75.113 (talk) 17:47, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Black covers on Apple are mere placeholders. I simply removed a black square that someone uploaded as a "copyrighted" work, which is not. (CC) Tb hotch ™ 18:08, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Fake tracklists
@Joyous!: Please remove the fake tracklist "leak" that has been added to the article several times. The only confirmed tracks are the 2 singles "Tobey" and "Houdini". My last attempt to remove it was reverted by Cluebot. 2604:3D09:F82:3400:A1CD:8B43:5388:E1A7 (talk) 01:54, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. I think the fake tracks have been removed. Joyous! Noise! 01:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile the real tracklist got added to the Apple Music page of the album. It's as official as it gets until the release. Truzo (talk) 20:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Track lengths
It seems like Amazon shows the length of each track. Should this be added now or once the album releases? Certifiedes (talk) 13:26, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Can we use the official tracklist and credits?
Some errors I've noticed: The offfiical credit/booklet doesn't list Renaissance as "(intro)", Trouble as "(interlude)", Bizarre as a featuring artist (he's credited to Additional Vocals along with Traci Nelson). Also Big Sean & BabyTron are credited as "featuring", like everyone else, not "with". Spacecrunchies (talk) 13:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I think going by official sources should be the way to go. Supere10 (talk) 14:18, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * All albums in Wikipedia must go by official sources, if not then what's the point? MusicGene (talk) 19:46, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @MusicGene well, currently, it's unofficial. I altered it to the official credits but it's since been changed (now all features say "with" apart from Tobey. And Bizarre is back credited). Spacecrunchies (talk) 17:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
