Eminem released his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),” in July. At the beginning of October he uploaded a new music video for the song Temporary with Skylar Gray. The song, an ode to his daughter Hailie, features audio and video recordings of her growing up. It also contains something that might make you feel very old.

Towards the end of the video, there is a clip of Hailie following her father on the steps of a back porch. She gives him a custom-made Detroit Lions jersey that says “GRANDPA.”

Eminem is going to be a grandfather.

Given this and the preparation of Dr. Looking forward to the 2028 Olympics, it is difficult to get a clear idea of ​​where we stand as a society. But it’s safe to say that these two won’t be standing next to a burned-down house with a can of gas and a handful of matches again anytime soon. Yes, this reference is about a quarter of a century old, which puts the whole grandparent thing into perspective.

Of course, the most pleasing thing about this is that the Detroit Lions are now good enough to use personalized jerseys to make surprise announcements. When the Slim Shady LP was released in early 1999, the Lions had just finished a 5-11 season and hadn’t won a playoff game since 1991. They probably didn’t even sell customizable jerseys back then. Look how far we’ve all come.
