Eminem / Darkness
Eminem dropped the surprise album Music to be Murdered By and leads off with a video for the track "Darkness", with lyrics to match the title. Taking on the issue of gun violence, "Darkness" tries to go into the mind of the perpetrator of the Las Vegas shooting, one of the worst mass shootings in US history. The rest of the record isn't quite so dark, with Ed Sheeran collaborating on a track and cameos by Alfred Hitchcock, whose 1958 parody album of the same name Eminem liberally references.
