Tobey (song)
"Tobey" is a hip-hop collaboration between Eminem, Big Sean, and BabyTron, released on July 2, 2024, as the second single from Eminem's twelfth studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The track—named after Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire—features numerous Star Wars and superhero references, while Eminem's verse criticizes his fifth-place ranking on Billboard and Vibe's "50 Greatest Rappers" list and challenges Melle Mel's questioning of it. Promoted with a horror-themed trailer, its Cole Bennett-directed music video was delayed from July 5 to July 8 due to being unfinished. Critical reception was mixed, with Stereogum deeming it an improvement over "Houdini" but calling the concept "a little goofy," while critic Anthony Fantano disliked the instrumental but praised the lyrics. Commercially, the track charted in the top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles charts, and peaked at number seven on their respective hip-hop singles charts. The release followed a major promotional campaign that began with Dr. Dre announcing the album in March 2024 and culminated in the successful first single "Houdini" the previous May.
