Eminem’s new album The Death of Slim Shady came out this Friday and is getting mostly positive feedback from fans and critics.

In fact, many people believe that it might be one of Em’s best albums since Recovery in 2010. As expected, the album is full of controversial bars as the veteran rapper drops bars about Diddy, Megan Thee Stallion, Ja Rule, Kendrick Lamar and more.

Today, we have the first week sales projections for the album. HDD reports that The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) will move 270-290k units in the first week which should be more than enough to guarantee a number 1 spot on the charts.
