Eminem shares a snippet of his "Role Model" MV from his 1999 album 

Eminem is set to release his latest studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), sometime this year. In anticipation of the release, he has shared a clip from his 1999 single Role Model via a now unavailable Instagram story.

The clip shows Eminem preparing to act in a Houdini-style stunt, ready to be lowered via a chain and pulley system into a glass tank full of water held under 10,000 pounds of pressure.

The song Role Model is an ironic take on the concept of rappers as heroes and role models, with the singer pulling back the curtain on rapper culture in the 1999 cult classic.
