Eminem's fans have been devouring the contents of his latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) and are pretty certain they know what he's on about.
The man himself has said that you ought to listen to the whole thing in order from start to finish rather than shuffling up the tracks.
Taking to social media on the eve of the album's release, he wrote: "Public service announcement: the 'death of slim shady' is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense.
"Enjoy."

Keeping that in mind, tracks number eight and nine would appear to have some rather choice words for Diddy, real name Sean Combs.
The eighth track on The Death of Slim Shady is titled 'Antichrist', and Diddy gets called out by name in it.
In the song, Eminem is spitting the follow bars: "Next idiot ask me is gettin' his ass beat worse than Diddy did. But on the real, though (Why?)
"She prolly ran out the room with his f**kin' dildo (Come here)

"He try to field goal punt her, she said to chill (No)."
It probably should be noted that after the words 'Diddy did' there's a second or two of dead silence as though the audio cuts out completely.
The lyrics would appear to be a reference to the released footage of Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a hotel in 2016.
Diddy apologised for the incident, saying he was 'disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now', while Ventura had filed a lawsuit alleging that he 'frequently beat' her which was later settled.

Eminem gave Diddy both barrels, as in the album's next song 'Fuel' it sounded like he went back in for another go.
A particular chunk of the lyrics to 'Fuel' go: "I'm like a R-A-P-E-R (Yeah)
"Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As (Huh)
"Wait, he didn't just spell the word, 'Rapper' and leave out a P, did he? (Yep)"
'P, did he' sounds a lot like P Diddy, and the animosity between the pair seems evident.

Needless to say, Eminem's fans are calling it the 'hardest Diddy diss bar we've possibly ever heard' and said he 'went in on Diddy'.
Someone else said you'd be 'dying of alcohol poisoning if you took a shot every time Eminem disses Diddy in the new album'.
Everyone expected that an album titled The Death of Slim Shady might involve Eminem putting his abrasive character to rest, however, they might not have expected how hard Slim Shady would go down swinging.
LADbible has contacted Diddy's reps for comment.
