I love how in this album he says the wildest shit ever, but then hits your soul with beautiful songs like "Temporary" and "Somebody Save Me". Also damn... "Fuel" was FIRE! 🔥
This isn’t Eminem last album.. This was a concept album.. Eminem is still talking his ass off and isn’t going anywhere.. If he ever does decide to make a last album and retire they’ll promote the hell out of the album sayin it’s his final goodbye.. It wouldn’t be all subliminal with the Death of Slim Shady.. I mean shit y the hell would he leave? This was his best album in quite a long time.. He’s the GOAT
Specifically to the final line, I think MTBMB was quite good, Kamikaze was too. I mean if you mean in comparison to like the Eminem Show then that's a bit more understandable but both of his prior albums to this one had good songs. Some of strongest bar-smithing he had.
@@dabigcheeze and say something like “DagNABBIT MARSHALL, how DARE you attack Megan The STALLION and Caitlyn JENNER and Christopher REEVE and Kendrick LAMAR-“
I hate when people say they want Eminem to "rap his age." He did that on Revival & people hated it! He said it on this album. "Everytime I drop people expect me to reinvent the wheel"
It was a solid 8.5/10 album for me, especially on the second listen. I loved how it wasn't Em vs Slim but Em(Slim) sending a message to the fans that the slim shady they want just won't work in today's world. Also slim came back from the dead at the end which is sending mixed signals, he doesn't want to do slim but he can't really get rid of slim
Eminem got loose and shot slim 3 times (im guessing in the left hand becUse he uses that one to write) then he shot him in the dick (killshot through your cock, cock sucker). Slim then went to the nut house (haha) and they pumped him full of medicine where he just sits there and says random things. Slim never died. I do think there is a deluxe or side B of the album though. I think Slim gets loose and goes after Marshall again. There was too many features that weren't on this album. J Cole, 50 cent, etc.
Idk why but it didn’t feel like 19 songs, when I finished it I thought my music might of paused itself and I kept looking for it but t said I listened to it all 😭
Guys I’m sorry, I didn’t know there was skits I just finished it and it said 19 songs so I searched to see if it was true and it said it was, but lowkey it felt like it was 8 songs- sorry if yall got a little pressed but I did listen to it this morning and I don’t wanna listen to it again.
You didn’t like Kamikaze!?!?? That was the best Em we got in the past decade. This album and MTBMB were alright, but Kamikaze was crazy I guess if you liked relapse, then you probably prefer Em’s more fun slim shady style songs. So I guess I can understand that. But to not like Kamikaze at all is crazy to me.
@@filthykallahan6399I hated these albums, as I prefer Eminem from early 2000’s. But the death of slim shady is fire. Definitely his best album since Relapse
@@loading. Encore was fucked because of the tracks that leaked which were supposed to be intro and glue tracks so he had to do on spot change which is usually hard to have and because of it he put those songs as bonus
I felt like the last few albums were Em trying to prove to everyone he can still rap instead to trying to create a body of work so the fact that he was more focused on trying to create a body work on this project made me appreciate it more on the first listen
Frankly, I like it. The first half being Slim trying to get Em cancelled by taking shots at every minority and even his mother again. And then Guilty Conscience 2 Em saying "hey, you're lame as fuck for picking on people like this", asking everyone he dissed to accompany him and killing Shady once and for all And I say it as a part of one of the minorities he first dissed. I don't get offended by it. I like the whole "one last ride for a character that was a product of it's era" and sending him off with a bang All in all, i'd give it an 8.5. Maybe just too many bars at the same people started to feel repeating by the time Braking News rolled around. But besides that, great album
This is a prime example of a song that you shouldn’t skip to first listen💀 favorite song in the album but if you had zero context, this be the craziest diss song I’ve ever heard lol
Eminem isnt done bro the death of slim shady is him killing off that part of his life. hes more then the crazy blonde headed junkie, hes now just eminem and marshal the father rap pioneer.
Ima just say this is Em 4:44 or mm&bs type album, this is probably what em was attempting to make when he did revival but the concept didn’t stick and nobody was ready for that, now the world and the fans are more mature and like em they are ready to embrace this idea, side note I’m confused how a lot aren’t sees the concept and how masterful it was for em to do it in the most em way and not in another way, maybe I just appreciate the art too much because I haven’t heard a really good em project since kamikaze, personally, and before that recovery, relapse, and his first 3 run, encore I’m not a fan of, anyways that’s my thoughts
I'll be honest. When I first heard Relapse and the crazy serial killer vibe, I was like wtf? Because I didn't understand what he was going for. But, when I started to listen to it as if he was a script writer or a writer like Stephen King, that shit blew my mind. There's literally nothing this dude can't do. You want bars, check ☒, storytelling ☒, wordplay ☒ ☒ ☒,flows ☒ rhyme schemes ☒ he can do everything other artist can do and do it better. But no one can do what he does. It's crazy.
Exactly, like even in this video dude is hoping for him to make more conscious albums in the future, when he’s missing the point is that Em isn’t even TRYING to do that. He’s trying to do it how EMINEM does it when discussing a concept or rapping about world issues!
@@DerickBlackmon-eb8ki That's a pretty neat way to look at Relapse. I think Relapse still felt a little weird because while Slim Shady's character was a serial killer, the beats and writing always felt more dark comedy (Kill You, As the World Turns) or personal drama (Kim, Bonnie & Clyde) than horror, while Relapse definitely leans towards the latter (3am, Same Song and Dance, Stay Wide Awake). But Marshall framing Relapse as a 40% horror, 40% party, and 20% self-reflection makes sense since his addiction was his monster and supposed bread and butter.
I knew all along more or less what the album was going to be like/be about, and it didn't disappoint. First of all, the lettering of the album is reminiscent of The Slim Shady LP with it's style and alternating colors, which we have not seen since that one album. Then on top of it, Houdini had that version of Slim Shady's voice in the song for a few seconds (and the video itself shows him). I knew that there was no way the ability to have his old voice back would just be left to a few seconds of a single...this was going to be Eminem duking it out about how he really feels and how Slim Shady would feel today. We saw a glimpse of that concept in the Houdini video itself. How did people NOT expect this?
The album was really enjoyable. I didn’t dislike any of the songs. It felt like almost a movie. Not phenomenal, but fun. 7/10 casual 9-10/10 for fans. I could easily see it winning best rap album this year.
You suck at listening to music if this is that great to you. 20 years ago Eminem dropped Encore and was the most horrific shit you could ever hear by what Eminem was building for himself. This wasn't terrible, but its still not that good. 15/10 means you have no business rating anything involving music.
This album is a 7/10 for me, that first half is a lil bloated but DAMN the second half was such a good it was great. I would’ve cut Houdini and like 2 other songs (not sure which one rn) I felt it was a little repetitive. Second half was peak Eminem. The point of the album is to prove why slim shady doesn’t work anymore and why it’s time to move on. Just shock value for shock value, no substance.
I agree wit u strongly bro. the first half feels like old eminem but falls flat of wat u jst said it doesn't land cause it's shock value wit no slubstance and why that stuff can't work today. id did feel hella repetitive in some songs where he was just talking about the same thing. but I guess that is the point em is making. his old stuff doesn't to today's standards and that we have to move on.
I also feel like this album isn't just for some easy praise from fans like how other people are saying but more of a final goodbye to the slim shady alter ego. An encore before the curtains are drawn and the show is over
Honeztly idk what em has to do for people to say its a "great album" Like even this guy in the video: this album had slim shady, lyrical BARS, a cohesive theme/message, and the overall production/beats was the best it has been in a long ahh time. Dude still said its "mid" like wtf is he supposed to do 😂😂
They will say things like the negative reviews at rate your music, i gave it a 5/5 just because haters give 0/5, even though i feel its for 4/5 for me.
I wish he would remix Renaissance and make it longer. I wish he rapped like that more often. He does have to make every song with his older flow but man that’s what I fell in love with as a kid.
This is a concept album in which Slim Shady has been locked away since the early 2000s & escaped or time traveled to 2024 & is like wtf! It's actually kinda genius & exactly what the fans wanted. For Eminem to put this project out at this stage in his career is impressive. After almost 30 years in the game & releasing his 3rd best project (MM LP & E Show are better) is crazy!
Millennials? Isn't Em Gen X at 51? Besides, I think he only jokingly refers to Gen Z considering the first half is full of ironic deliveries of deliberately offensive bars.
Good album. This is what happens when Em is rapping with purpose instead of just putting things out to stay relevant. Context matters on the album, it’s conceptual, and cause of that, he sounds focused. Even the song with Skyler I enjoy, and I hate their collabs normally. But because the song was made with calculation and purpose, it’s really fitting. Glad to hear him again.
No, the album was to kill off his persona, not to end his career, he’s still gonna do some albums (most likely not) but he will definitely do appearances on other songs (like he’s been doing for years) but I don’t think he’s quitting
Here's my view and ill try to make it short I would say this album is high b teir, and had some high points that we haven't seen for a loooong time. Listening to Renaissance and some other tracks made me realize why he is one of the GOATS This Generation of music and listeners dont like Eminem, so they think he is bad rather than realizing how good he was and still is.
I shared some stories in my Growing Uo In Rock N Rap section, cuz a now deceased childhood friend may have contributed some material. It’s not cus of this, it’s that we grew up in the wrong lives, and idk how long I have. This kid was trying to share some stories of what he went thru, our lives, and other kids experiences. Some aren’t here now. He contributed material to a lot of artists and sometimes new stuff comes out. And cuz it’s important for some other stuff I discussed how me and my cat got dissed over Tobey, a total childhood couple misunderstanding, he came back from a trip heard me talking about Tobey, and freaked thinking the worst. My cat was part Siamese. But I expected it one day cuz they cleared the jokes with me long ago just in case. And since I may not have long and some hopeful justice is needed, I’m hoping fans will care to hear these stories. Or else the world might not know what happened to us. My friend was a talented songwriter and dj. But had a hard hard life. Didn’t make it. So there’s tons more stories. Lots of songs and movies. And remember, biscuits eventually replaced English muffins after crumpets did, and gaps in Levi’s were cuz kids weren’t getting enough food, and Em isn’t the actual antichrist. Just to catch peeps up on stuff in songs. It’s biscuits now.
The full album played in reverse the song listing order, it actually changes the context of the to a role reversal of slim killing off em It’s very clever showing that no matter what em will never fully be able to stop having slim involved as they have (like with Houdini) become one in the same
I can definitely admit some of the tracks are good, but in a lot of them it's obvious Marshall is just trying way too hard to be 'edgy' and 'offensive', but not in the way the old Shady was. It's more about trying to piss off people who don't even exist, but it comes off as corny and annoying to me
That was pretty much the point though. Shady said offensive things to get em cancelled. I’m curious as to what you mean by offending people who don’t even exist.
I know the whole thing is hes canceling himself but like...I cant hear the canceling. Maybe thats just my old Gen Z brain not giving a fuck but idk how people gettin pissed.
Thing is… I don’t think this is the last of Slim Shady. The whole thing with slim is that he can’t die. No matter how hard marshal tries he will never truly get rid of him. Whether he likes it or not. “I don’t even exist, I get a clean shave, bathe, go to a rave, die from an overdose and dig myself out of my grave” time and time again Slim has come back. After all Marshal is Slim Shady’s darling. He possesses his soul, heart, mind and body.
Even though I'm a big Eminem fan, I think most of the songs are just almost good, but not quite. For example, in 'Somebody Save me' the rythym is good, but some of the lines Jelly Roll has just kind of ruin it.
90's Gen-Z getting a crossfire because of the younger Gen-Z cancelling Eminem.. yall...not every Gen Z wants to cancel Eminem 😭.. EZ Mil is that example.
i get that its supposed to be slim shady talking for the first half of the album but im sorry the controversial shock factor raps are just so corny, why do we need to hear sixteen bars about caitlyn jenner and megan thee stallion. its just so corny and unbearable to get through. guilty conscience 2 is great tho
Honestly, it was better than most of his other albums in general. Most albums only have one or two hits and the rest is pretty bad, but this album is overall pretty good
The character of slim shady is related to a lot of depressing history for em. His drug abuse his alcoholism. The legal battles with his mom and other artist His battle with depression because of the drugs and the fight to sober up and be a dad. I don’t think he’s giving the character up entirely. But if he is officially stepping away / distancing himself from slim. That’s fine.
I DONT FIVE A FUCK ABOUT 90% OF THE ALBUM!!! Trouble was cool making my jaw drop so much on a 40 second track, Brand New Dance really sounds like Slim Shady era… but Somebody Save Me. Jelly Roll performed with Em in Detroit and since that day I said “I think Jelly’s gonna be on the new album” and it may not be a full feature but Eminem took a Jelly Roll sample of Save Me for his song to Hailie and Lainey
I've only given it one full active listen up to now, but my initial impression is although not as good as his best albums it is still one of his best. I'm thinking his 5th best album. I'll reserve proper judgement until I've listened to it many more times though.
@tylove7992 quit following the hate train if you get over the accents relapse is some of em's best work lyrically thematically and sonically the beats, storytelling all went hard
I thought the rapping and production was great, however, the lyrics and insults he used to get him “canceled” just seemed so dated and cringy. It just becomes annoying after a while. Like, it would have worked better in 2016.
Reality is fans praise Eminem for his work from literally 20 years ago. During the past more than decade he hasn't released anything influential (maybe kamikadze which just proves the point that he fell off and needed to make such album). And now he goes back to the original formula that brought him success. Maybe nostalgia maybe realization what he does now simply isn't that good. He might be a good artist, but his career is mediocre and I hate when people pretend it isn't
Honestly it really did feel like old Em was put into a time machine and transported to the modern day on this album. Flows, writing, dre beats, this album was really solid and definitely better than I expected
Exactly how it was supposed to sound, like if there was ever a response from a critique it would probably be this, old em being transported in a time machinie and being brought to 2024, type of thing the album should've lived up too, and it did in my opinion, minus maybe the energy overall isn't the same way it was but it has a great simulation type feel of it.
Album is definitely amusing and I think it's the most self-aware he's sounded in a good awhile, even if Eminem won his culture war and the album's concept is a little flawed as he isn't really going that hard or controversial on anyone or anything. When he was writing about music's impact on youth, freedom of absurdity, musical gangster egos, and the hypocritical government (take your pick off of the Eminem Show), he felt very confident and the bars were fresh from song to song. The Death of Slim Shady feels like it's kind of using the same three to four jokes over and over again without really saying anything other than "Don't get mad at me if I use a mild slur to market my album." At least with The Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LP, he was more openly challenging context and appearances.
The death of slim shady doesn't mean the end of him.. it means he going to say some stuff and basically try get himself cancelled, which is why it also says Coup De Grace in the tittle/aka the killshot on an animal or grace shot) so this album is Eminem FT. Slim Shady, trying to get himself cancelled, hence the tittle, and he is making fun of that
btw for people who are slow he is not taking shots at anyone but the haters
all i see is a bunch of complainers
and then saying everything the haters said about kdot wayne himself etc

I love this album
I think if he has created the perfect opportunity to follow this album up with The Marshall Mathers LP 3
I wish he would remix Renaissance and make it longer. I wish he rapped like that more often. He does have to make every song with his older flow but man that’s what I fell in love with as a kid.
As a 38 year old life long eminem fan, this Is #4 on his best albums ranking, in my opinion
This is a concept album in which Slim Shady has been locked away since the early 2000s & escaped or time traveled to 2024 & is like wtf! It's actually kinda genius & exactly what the fans wanted. For Eminem to put this project out at this stage in his career is impressive. After almost 30 years in the game & releasing his 3rd best project (MM LP & E Show are better) is crazy!
A really good album. We finally got slim back after more than a decade. I hope he keeps releasing
Imo this album was a 10/10! there's 0 skips
2 Gen-Z people want to cancel eminem ❌
2 Gen-z people want to cancel eminem and the entire generation get's blamed for it ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
Me personally, I interpreted the album as Shady taking Eminem hostage, before Em breaks out of the chair he was tied to and fatally shooting Slim.
Jid slid but can't say it's in my top 5 oty, still cool album tho , big flaw of this album is it gon make millenials think they hot shit
Salty opinion
😂
As a gen z noones gonna care
Millennials? Isn't Em Gen X at 51? Besides, I think he only jokingly refers to Gen Z considering the first half is full of ironic deliveries of deliberately offensive bars.
Nah we think we hot shit cuz of Kendrick, the premiere millennial 😂
Good album. This is what happens when Em is rapping with purpose instead of just putting things out to stay relevant. Context matters on the album, it’s conceptual, and cause of that, he sounds focused. Even the song with Skyler I enjoy, and I hate their collabs normally. But because the song was made with calculation and purpose, it’s really fitting. Glad to hear him again.
I listened to the entire album as soon as it released, and I was just wondering how he could manage to not get cancelled for it
damn you are fast with this video! great video aswel
Temporary and Somebody Save Me hit hard A.F.. lost for words.
Those were beautiful tracks
Why are yall up 😭😹
work.
U?
Have you heard of different time zones lol😂
Timezones man... Timezones. :D
Why were you up? Huh? I actually caught it as it released (at 10:04pm for me) so I passed out listening to it 😂
No, the album was to kill off his persona, not to end his career, he’s still gonna do some albums (most likely not) but he will definitely do appearances on other songs (like he’s been doing for years) but I don’t think he’s quitting
"Marshal matter" 💀
💀
Here's my view and ill try to make it short
I would say this album is high b teir, and had some high points that we haven't seen for a loooong time.
Listening to Renaissance and some other tracks made me realize why he is one of the GOATS
This Generation of music and listeners dont like Eminem, so they think he is bad rather than realizing how good he was and still is.
wasnt too hyped for the album until it dropped. OH MY GOD! Absolute beast of a release!
I shared some stories in my Growing Uo In Rock N Rap section, cuz a now deceased childhood friend may have contributed some material. It’s not cus of this, it’s that we grew up in the wrong lives, and idk how long I have. This kid was trying to share some stories of what he went thru, our lives, and other kids experiences. Some aren’t here now. He contributed material to a lot of artists and sometimes new stuff comes out. And cuz it’s important for some other stuff I discussed how me and my cat got dissed over Tobey, a total childhood couple misunderstanding, he came back from a trip heard me talking about Tobey, and freaked thinking the worst. My cat was part Siamese. But I expected it one day cuz they cleared the jokes with me long ago just in case. And since I may not have long and some hopeful justice is needed, I’m hoping fans will care to hear these stories. Or else the world might not know what happened to us. My friend was a talented songwriter and dj. But had a hard hard life. Didn’t make it. So there’s tons more stories. Lots of songs and movies.
And remember, biscuits eventually replaced English muffins after crumpets did, and gaps in Levi’s were cuz kids weren’t getting enough food, and Em isn’t the actual antichrist. Just to catch peeps up on stuff in songs. It’s biscuits now.
The full album played in reverse the song listing order, it actually changes the context of the to a role reversal of slim killing off em
It’s very clever showing that no matter what em will never fully be able to stop having slim involved as they have (like with Houdini) become one in the same
I’m calling it right now, RESSURECTION OF SLIM!
I can definitely admit some of the tracks are good, but in a lot of them it's obvious Marshall is just trying way too hard to be 'edgy' and 'offensive', but not in the way the old Shady was. It's more about trying to piss off people who don't even exist, but it comes off as corny and annoying to me
That was pretty much the point though. Shady said offensive things to get em cancelled. I’m curious as to what you mean by offending people who don’t even exist.
I know the whole thing is hes canceling himself but like...I cant hear the canceling. Maybe thats just my old Gen Z brain not giving a fuck but idk how people gettin pissed.
Thing is… I don’t think this is the last of Slim Shady. The whole thing with slim is that he can’t die. No matter how hard marshal tries he will never truly get rid of him. Whether he likes it or not. “I don’t even exist, I get a clean shave, bathe, go to a rave, die from an overdose and dig myself out of my grave” time and time again Slim has come back. After all Marshal is Slim Shady’s darling. He possesses his soul, heart, mind and body.
Even though I'm a big Eminem fan, I think most of the songs are just almost good, but not quite. For example, in 'Somebody Save me' the rythym is good, but some of the lines Jelly Roll has just kind of ruin it.
90's Gen-Z getting a crossfire because of the younger Gen-Z cancelling Eminem..
yall...not every Gen Z wants to cancel Eminem 😭.. EZ Mil is that example.
Hell, the majority of the young gen-z doesn't even want to cancel him💀
Did we forget that Eminem proceeded to shoot slim Shady in a Guilty Conscious 2?
I do believe that we could get a side b of sorts. I personally love the album. It’s shady for sure. Makes me really think back to my childhood.
I listened to it backwards first time. I ended up thinking Shady won, and he was back.
he was a kid during slim shady and now he's over 50yrs old, time to put it to bed..
He's been trying to. His fans/stans won't stop giving him shizz for trying to be different.
@@arenam79 that’s literally what the album’s about
agreed. The question asked in the video was "why would he kill off slim shady" I just answered it literally like he was asking me personally lol
@@arenam79 oh lol all good
I better get a Eminem black ops 6 skin
I dont think hes quitting being slim. It's a concept album
Best Eminem album so far
If u listened to this album from the first track to the last track u listened to it wrong listen to it in reverse from the end to the begining
I say it EVERY DAMN TIME Eminem had done more for the African American community than the JERRY CURL 🤣
i get that its supposed to be slim shady talking for the first half of the album but im sorry the controversial shock factor raps are just so corny, why do we need to hear sixteen bars about caitlyn jenner and megan thee stallion. its just so corny and unbearable to get through. guilty conscience 2 is great tho
Agreed talking about Bruce Jenner was cringe and attacking candace Owen's was also lame asf 😂
"he goes by the name of marshall matters"
Feels like a lot of people didn't really think about the album in the context of the concept and took the songs at face value.
Eminem is undeniably a huge part of the culture, period
I think it's the best thing he put out since MMLP2
Honestly, it was better than most of his other albums in general. Most albums only have one or two hits and the rest is pretty bad, but this album is overall pretty good
The character of slim shady is related to a lot of depressing history for em. His drug abuse his alcoholism. The legal battles with his mom and other artist His battle with depression because of the drugs and the fight to sober up and be a dad. I don’t think he’s giving the character up entirely. But if he is officially stepping away / distancing himself from slim. That’s fine.
No one can be slim shady because slim shady was a black airforce crashout certified menace 😭
I DONT FIVE A FUCK ABOUT 90% OF THE ALBUM!!! Trouble was cool making my jaw drop so much on a 40 second track, Brand New Dance really sounds like Slim Shady era… but Somebody Save Me. Jelly Roll performed with Em in Detroit and since that day I said “I think Jelly’s gonna be on the new album” and it may not be a full feature but Eminem took a Jelly Roll sample of Save Me for his song to Hailie and Lainey
I've only given it one full active listen up to now, but my initial impression is although not as good as his best albums it is still one of his best. I'm thinking his 5th best album. I'll reserve proper judgement until I've listened to it many more times though.
Relapse was a conceptual album🔥🔥🔥
Yeah but it was awful.
@tylove7992 quit following the hate train if you get over the accents relapse is some of em's best work lyrically thematically and sonically the beats, storytelling all went hard
@@tylove7992it’s still my fav Em album… a little corny but that’s the point… he flexed hard on that album
@@Joseph18348 I don't need to follow anything, the only good tracks were "We Made You" and "Underground". It's probably his worst album in my opinion.
@@tylove7992 beautiful left the chat
Did you hear the same album I did? This is the shit, man!!!!!
If you say Hip Hop , people think about Eminem too. How can Eminem not be a part of culture if he made hip hop mainstream ?
I doubt Eminem will be finished, because in Houdini (part of this album!) said “You know I’m here to stay.”
insane cuz when godzilla came out nobody tried to cancel him
I thought the rapping and production was great, however, the lyrics and insults he used to get him “canceled” just seemed so dated and cringy. It just becomes annoying after a while. Like, it would have worked better in 2016.
I wish more people knew about icp, which was Eminem’s supposed inspiration to create slim shady as a character.
🤓☝️ Erm actually it's not Robin it's rap boy.
you got me ngl... youre right
@@KingBenny damn I didn't think you'd respond fr 💀
I honestly loved it from start to finish
1.25x speed hits like goldilocks
I thought the new album was amazing because we got some of that slim shady rap back.
I was kinda of confused cause I grew up listening to Eminem and I’m gen z
Only Eminem can outdo himself as the Slim Shady character. I love Slim Shady. But the New Shady, I'm obsessed. Hip hop needs him.
Eminem was originally going to end his career after Encore; funny how the albums which titles are meant to show his end seem to be so popular.
Reality is fans praise Eminem for his work from literally 20 years ago. During the past more than decade he hasn't released anything influential (maybe kamikadze which just proves the point that he fell off and needed to make such album). And now he goes back to the original formula that brought him success. Maybe nostalgia maybe realization what he does now simply isn't that good.
He might be a good artist, but his career is mediocre and I hate when people pretend it isn't
Great video as always! I used to be a huge Eminem fan but over time I’ve been rocking with him less and less. Hopefully this album changes that
Honestly it really did feel like old Em was put into a time machine and transported to the modern day on this album. Flows, writing, dre beats, this album was really solid and definitely better than I expected
Exactly how it was supposed to sound, like if there was ever a response from a critique it would probably be this, old em being transported in a time machinie and being brought to 2024, type of thing the album should've lived up too, and it did in my opinion, minus maybe the energy overall isn't the same way it was but it has a great simulation type feel of it.
Album is definitely amusing and I think it's the most self-aware he's sounded in a good awhile, even if Eminem won his culture war and the album's concept is a little flawed as he isn't really going that hard or controversial on anyone or anything. When he was writing about music's impact on youth, freedom of absurdity, musical gangster egos, and the hypocritical government (take your pick off of the Eminem Show), he felt very confident and the bars were fresh from song to song.
The Death of Slim Shady feels like it's kind of using the same three to four jokes over and over again without really saying anything other than "Don't get mad at me if I use a mild slur to market my album." At least with The Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LP, he was more openly challenging context and appearances.
I think he just fused his two characters. MM, Shady is all the same now. It’s called Eminem. And it is here to stay.
This album is pure gold.
Brand new dance on Eminem’s new album kinda sounds like just lose it
No it sounds like same song same dance
I dont think slim shady is dead becasue it was all in his head and guess whose back skit is slim shady talking i think
You can't be cancelled by people who aren't your fans. Gen-z can eat it. eminem is uncancellable.
fire ass album. literally killing his alter ego. one of my favorite conceptual hiphop albums ever
This album better than anything he's done in the last 19 years.
crazy people are trying to make this a generation thing
The death of slim shady doesn't mean the end of him.. it means he going to say some stuff and basically try get himself cancelled, which is why it also says Coup De Grace in the tittle/aka the killshot on an animal or grace shot) so this album is Eminem FT. Slim Shady, trying to get himself cancelled, hence the tittle, and he is making fun of that
Slim Shady has a grit to his voice. Always sounds like a chainsawwww
