DETROIT, MI — If you’re an Eminem fan, prepare to feast — because Slim Shady is everywhere this summer, with back-to-back appearances, major music releases, and even a long-awaited documentary dropping in what fans are calling the “Summer of Em.”

Whether you’re a Stan from the beginning or a new listener jumping on during the excitement, here’s everything we know about the three massive Eminem moments arriving in late July and August — and why fans are calling it “a cultural buffet.”

🎬 JULY 25 — EMINEM CAMEO CONFIRMED IN HAPPY GILMORE 2

The first big surprise? Eminem is making a cameo appearance in Adam Sandler’s highly anticipated comedy sequel Happy Gilmore 2, premiering July 25 exclusively on Netflix.

According to production insiders, Eminem plays a fictional version of himself in a chaotic celebrity golf showdown alongside other surprise guests. Sources hint his scene includes both comedy and confrontation, with “classic Em-level trash talk.”

“Let’s just say, he doesn’t hold back,” teased one Netflix exec. “It’s a moment fans will instantly quote.”

The cameo marks one of Eminem’s rare film appearances in recent years — his last being a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Oscar performance in 2020.

🎥 AUGUST 7 — “STANS” DOCUMENTARY TO EXPLORE FAN CULTURE & LEGACY

On August 7, STANS — a new in-depth documentary executive produced by Eminem and Dr. Dre — premieres globally on Amazon Prime Video. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Allen Hughes (The Defiant Ones), the documentary examines Eminem’s cultural impact, his devoted fan base, and the evolution of hip-hop’s relationship with identity, loyalty, and legacy.

The doc features interviews with:

Dr. Dre
Ed Sheeran
LL Cool J
Rihanna (rumored)
Eminem himself in one of his most vulnerable interviews yet

The film also dives into the dual meaning of “Stan” — from obsessive fan to internet slang — and includes never-before-seen backstage footage, handwritten lyrics, and emotional fan testimonials.

“This isn’t just about me,” Eminem says in the trailer. “It’s about what this music means to people.”

🎧 AUGUST 7 (OR EARLIER) — “STANS” SOUNDTRACK TO INCLUDE UNRELEASED EMINEM MUSIC

To coincide with the documentary, Shady Records is releasing a full STANS soundtrack album, with a lineup that has fans buzzing. The album is rumored to drop either on August 7 or slightly earlier, and will include new music and unreleased tracks from Eminem’s vault — some dating back to the Relapse and Kamikaze eras.

Features and collaborations expected on the album include:

Dr. Dre
50 Cent
Ed Sheeran
Anderson .Paak
Possible posthumous verses from DMX or Nate Dogg

Tracks like “Dead Presidents” and “Final Stan” have already leaked in snippets online, sending Reddit and fan forums into a frenzy.

🍽️ “WE ARE EATING” — THE SUMMER OF SLIM SHADY

Fans across social media are declaring “We are eating”, a viral phrase reflecting how well-fed the Eminem fanbase feels after years of relative quiet. The hashtag #Stans2025 is trending globally, with anticipation at an all-time high.

“We went from crumbs to a full-course meal,” one fan tweeted. “Movie cameo, doc, album? Slim’s not playing this summer.”

🧢 FINAL WORD

With July and August shaping up to be a celebration of all things Shady — from nostalgia to new bars — Eminem proves that even after decades in the game, he still knows how to take over a season.

Whether he’s on screen, in your headphones, or in your feels — the real Slim Shady is standing up once again.
