So Slim Shady never actually gets clean. He OD'd and died in '08. That's why he never witnessed his daughters graduate college and get married etc. Marshall however, experiences it all. So shady doesn't die in present time. Em is just telling his story. A masterpiece. 👏🏼
He is rapping from the point of view of Marshall when hes telling that story, not Slim. That OD story ties in with Castle&Arose off of revival, right between of those songs.
This is Marshall, not Slim. These songs to Hailey ties together with Castle&Arose from Revival, right between those songs. Castle, temporary, somebody save me and then Arose, where he wakes up in hospital. Em "offed" slim shady earlier on a song on this album. Marshall is the dad and who he really is, Slim Shady is mentally ill crazy character
@@JJ-ji5ey I get why you're saying that, but in the song he says one day he knows he'll be able to do those things but he's weak. The addict him is weak. Shady died when the addict died. It makes the most sense with the concept of the album and why it's the last song. Now he's just Marshall who got to experience everything that Shady didn't. You can have your interpretation. This is mine.
@@michedeslinemeyer1197 well yea but considering Marshall put a bullet in Shadys head few songs before i'd say its not Shady. It was never Shady who made songs about Hailey, it was always Marshall, or Eminem. If u listen to Castle and Arose from Revival it makes more sense. Em said some songs are prequels or sequels to older songs. On castle he is talkin about not being able to walk his daughters down the isle and he, Marshall, OD's in the bathroom. On temporarily he, Marshall is saying how hes sorry that Alaina had to find him collapsed in the bathroom. "Somebody save me" is the same story too. On "Arose" he, Marshall wakes up in the hospital and he says "consider these last songs i would have written if i never made it but i did". U had songs on the album where Em was hangin small ppl over.balconies and kickin them, that was Shady, not this one. Em has done this alot where his new songs are actually same story to his older songs.
This song is about when he died. People dont really know about it but Eminem died in 07' from an overdose. He overdosed and i read somewhere that it was Alaina that found him in the bathroom. But he died for a few minutes before they revived him. He had to relearn basic skills and he even had to relearn how to actually rap. Which is why Relapse sounds so different from Encore and it took a few years to release. Hence all of the clone and illuminati theories and conspiracies. He lost ALL of that pill and alcohol weight, and you dont realize youre bloating until you get clean, im speaking from personal experience, im on suboxone and recovering from drugs. But eminem got clean and he looked and sounded entirely different. Plus having to relearn how to rap? Imagine being the BEST rapper on the planet and then having to relearn those skills but IMPROVE upon them? Eminem is seriously the goat.
@CarlosMedina-jl2or it was released and spoken about publicly around 2012 even on radio shows. It started when he was asked about the accent actually. Hiphopdx even has a video on their yt backing my story if you need a source.
@CarlosMedina-jl2orOkay Now I Have To Go Listen To Those Albums All Over Again 🙆♂️🙆♂️ For The Story To Make More Sense Than Now, Yes It Does Make Sense But The Way U Putting It That Means I Have To Go Back Then Passby Recovery Then The Death Of Alim Shady
I am a 46 yo man.. I have a 16yo and these 2 tore my heart out. Cried like a baby. Only em can cut hard bangers then turn around and make us get deep into our feels. 💯 THE GOAT!!!
You want heart ripped out of Shady. This is it. The ride of a lifetime on this album. Love Em, and Jellyroll. Just be grateful that Em got clean and we've had him since 1998. Just think what our world would have been like without the Greatest Rapper God gave us!
Laine found Shady on the bathroom floor just before he was resuscitated from an overdose. That’s who missed all that stuff. That’s who died that day from methadone and sleeping pills
I'm a former addict just hit 20 years clean from alcohol and herion, and i just got a job runjing recovery meetings at my sister's hospital, this song just hits hard... to anyone struggling understand that you can beat this
this whole album got me up in all my feelings. from the beginning its "oh shit its slim shady" to the end "let me call my fam and just tell them i love um"
I think that’s the point of the album honestly. A lot of people seem to think this album is just a middle finger to the censor bar but I think it goes a lot deeper than that. I think the ending of the album tries to shine a different light on the “Shady” persona and how much it can damage everyone around you. I heard someone say that Eminem and Slim Shady cannot coexist, for one to live, the other must die. If Eminem doesn’t change his ways, Shady dies, if Eminem wants to keep living, Shady dies.
Slim Shady will be back, his spirit is now in Eminem… in Guilty Conscience 2 - after that phone call with Paul about the “dream” and when Paul hang up, Slim Shady laughed… Which indicates, Slim Shady lives in Eminem now. So we will hear more from Slim Shady now thru current Eminem.
I once was 9 years old reading along to Slim Shady and Marshal Mathers LP’s in my bedroom with the CD booklets - Now I’m 34, a father and husband, watching reaction videos to Eminem vs Slim Shady on an album. This is wild.
Literally my exact story. I’m 34, husband, and father also. Still remember when I first heard My Name Is on the radio and TRL. Changed my music taste for the rest of my life
Same here brother. Wife, kids, 36yrs old. Crazy. It’s like we grew up with Eminem and witnessed his entire life. So glad he walked Hailey down the aisle!!
This is a classic album! He really gave us every side of him from slim to Marshall to the Eminem we know now. That's why he is the GOAT. The haters are gonna hate but the real rap fans will appreciate this album, especially if you're now around 40 🤷🏻♂️ Nostalgia with bars upon bars. Love it! #eminemisthegoat
Anyone who is a parent and has either dealt with addiction, or their parent did.. this hits so effin hard. I forgot about the whole album rhe first time I heard this one and had to sit there
This Song and Temporary are Amazing if anyone shits on either Song then they just don’t have a Heart at all and they’re Little Bitches. They had me crying. So Beautiful and Both Temporary and Somebody Save Me Are Masterpieces. All of the songs on The Death Of Slim Shady are but these two song are just so bloody heart wrenching.
I couldn't wait to see your reaction to this. I'm a 53 year old guy who grew up listening to EM. I'm a huge Jelly Roll fan, the fact that EM reached out to Jelly is amazing. I would love to see them perform it live. Em and Jelly should tour, it would be sold out everywhere. As always, I love your reactions, and that some of the artists watch your reactions. Keep on doing you brother.
You can relate to being the biggest rockstar on the planet and having daughters that saw you die from overdosing on purpose to get away from the fame, but then getting it together and seeing your daughter graduate top of her class and master guitar, all-the-while still being biggest rock star on the planet, and the insanity of navigating that from there on??? That’s cray bro you should hit him up cuz this song kinda about how he doesn’t have anyone to relate that to, bro
@@BobSteven_enjoyit just to explain cos your intelligence seems kinda low. I relate to the pain, the struggle of life, suicidal thoughts, never giving up, doing all I can for my daughter's. You probably wouldn't know nothing about that life 🤡
Album of the year, Nem has always been my favorite rapper. I grew up to his music and many other legends like Cube, NWA, Wu Tang, Pac, Big, Dre, Snoop, 50, etc. So hearing this… brings back my childhood.
I feel like this song is about the death of slim shady. Slim died when eminem got sober, but marshall is still there. The coup de gras is Slim's final song
This song and Temporary are vintage Marshall and they hit me hard, I'm not even a parent, but you can still hear and feel the pain in his voice which makes those 2 songs classics
What in the fuck... remember that song where he asked "sometimes I wonder what the old me would say" This is the shit I don't know he realizes he's talking about.. WTF
From production, to concept, to execution and all the tiny little details in between... this album... holy balls. You can come with your bullshit "Eminem isn't the best" arguments, but not a SINGLE rapper alive could make an album like this. They may have all the skill in the world, but this man's mind is just insane.
This is like a song you would listen to on a ride when it’s like about to turn night and like a sunset and a long highway road and you’re looking out the window and it’s raining
Ken K. repping CT 😂 This song hits hard. I use music as therapy and play this song a lot. I didn't know I needed an Em remix so much. If you are still breathing, it is not too late to turn your life around, whatever demon you are facing. You are not alone. Please reach out to someone, anyone. 💕💕
Trust me this hits hard when you know its to his children. My mom died and i wish id have this masterpiece to listen to when she was gone. Eminem is a master of lyrical arts
You defo are the best reactor on RUclips now imo Cliff! I've always liked Shaq and Knox but you come across really well and if you were in Scotland I'd defo enjoy a pint with you! Keep em comin bro!
This had me tearing up bad I’m glad it was last on the album .. this is such a great song that got me in my feelings for a second. EM is my therapy, I have different EM lists on Spotify depending on the mood , he’s helped me through some really crappy days . This is why he’s my goat 🐐 he can make a masterpiece in so many different styles . Cliff I’m so thankful I found your channel too , it was thanksgiving 2 years ago and I was in a horrible unhappy place , I came across you breaking down a Eminem song and I was instantly hooked. You were encouraging people who were alone that day and it was just what I needed to hear at that moment. I’ve been a fan ever since. I don’t post too much and I hardly will chat , I’m just so kept to myself it’s hard to come out of my shell. But anyways thank you for your hard work and great insights and breakdowns 😊
This is the hardest track to get through, because it hits so close to home, with struggling in addiction and that downward spiral into depression almost hoping it would end if just not be a burden on everybody it's hell that climb up.
when you play the album in reverse order, it starts with em reflecting on his drug abuse and dying, like his foreshadowing his own death from being shady, then in bad one he mentions ems time is up and his job is done he done gone pissed everyone off, plus the hint of shady still being inside him, then temporary its a letter to Hailey for when his time comes and he no longer here... From Head honcho onwards he mentions Ezekiel (ezymil) and the creation of shady and as it progresses in reverse order shady hijacs eminem and they go back and forth drugs him in habits and buries eminem in renaissance leaving a solo shady vibe track. I feel that these 2 tear dropping tracks make the most sence when its played in reverse
Just subscribed. Your last message for anyone dealing with mental health issues to contact you will be felth through your subscribers. Another voice can always help. Glad you threw that in this video. This song ended this album perfectly and Im glad Em is still around loving all his kids and putting out the fire lyrics.
Fuckin' hell.....I just said on Temporary that Arose ripped my heart out, now its just pulverized after these two. If anyone ever thought that his children weren't at the forefront of his mind and heart, maybe they'll wake up and see it now. When you have kids and you've lost a parent this way (or adjacent to it), it sucker punches you in 4 ways. whew, I have emotional whiplash!
1 of my fav records on this album. He speaking real shit and overcoming it because of his family. I too will do anything for my fam man. Amazing record. Peace.
I think he got more on his sleeves for us, at least few more songs to end this album..also I hope he'll drop "Revival of Slim Shady" or "The Death of Slim Shady 2" .Platinum stuff here #AlbumOfTheYearEminem #TheDeathofSlimShady
This last week has been a hard one and have fallen asleep and wake crying. This song on my mind. It is beautiful that music does help my soul through hard as well as good times. Haven’t dealt with addiction but the first time I tried to get to heaven I was three. Adults called it an accident. Was a teen when I realized meat I recalled was the same story. Saving me from myself can be hard but I keep going and with love. I had tried other times but never told anyone until after the crisis passed in my head. I am my biggest enemy. Many others are too.
i love how the concept of this album is what people didnt know about him during 2000-2008 and the reason he had to get rid of slim shady. especially after this song, i know why he gets so mad at people asking him to rap like that again.
Just the intro- him being zonked out and Alana trying to wake him up just made me so sick. He really did it on this. I also noticed this is the last track, I feel like this was because this is why Slim Shady cannot continue, but why Marshall does.
So Slim Shady never actually gets clean. He OD'd and died in '08. That's why he never witnessed his daughters graduate college and get married etc. Marshall however, experiences it all. So shady doesn't die in present time. Em is just telling his story. A masterpiece. 👏🏼
He is rapping from the point of view of Marshall when hes telling that story, not Slim. That OD story ties in with Castle&Arose off of revival, right between of those songs.
This is Marshall, not Slim. These songs to Hailey ties together with Castle&Arose from Revival, right between those songs. Castle, temporary, somebody save me and then Arose, where he wakes up in hospital.
Em "offed" slim shady earlier on a song on this album. Marshall is the dad and who he really is, Slim Shady is mentally ill crazy character

That “what the FUCK you want me to do?” Gives me chills every single time
Temporary and Somebody Save Me really made me cry for real
same not even gonna front I am a 38yr male who rarely cries but those hit me knowing his story and been rocking with him for 25yrs since sslp in 99
I am a 46 yo man.. I have a 16yo and these 2 tore my heart out. Cried like a baby. Only em can cut hard bangers then turn around and make us get deep into our feels. 💯 THE GOAT!!!
Two songs on this album that will make any grown man cry coming from Eminem is crazy.
🤔
He literally has like 4 songs like this on all the albums tf you mean lmao?
Mockingbird and when I’m gone were 2 of my favorite songs when I was a teen so I’m used to it but still gets you
@Hablonoenlgles love those songs but neither makes me cry like a bitch, temporary is folding me every time
Huh? You clearly don’t know shit about his music.
3 because of the ken kaniff skit
Love how when hes in the coffin you hear Jellyroll singing as if you were Em in the closed coffin.
That's good perspective
You want heart ripped out of Shady. This is it. The ride of a lifetime on this album. Love Em, and Jellyroll. Just be grateful that Em got clean and we've had him since 1998. Just think what our world would have been like without the Greatest Rapper God gave us!

If Eminem doesn’t change his ways, Shady dies, if Eminem wants to keep living, Shady dies.
I was not expecting the album to end like this. What a gut punch
Alaina was actually the one who found him in the bathroom when he OD’d, she was about 14
Em talking about his family is my favorite Em. Probably because I relate to him more.
This album from start to finish is such a powerful piece of storytelling. Killing Slim was what Em needed to do to survive. Good for him.
He killed off Slim like 4 albums ago lol, it’s just a Mcguffin to the story it wasn’t about like a war or battle between them

Bro I cried so dang hard last night after listening to those 2 songs temporary and save me so deep
I barely made it out of addiction and this song just sent me on an emotional rollercoaster and helped heal me at the same time
"Thought you got rid of my ass.. no I want it"...
Gotta say no diddy after that
this entire song is the epitome of gen x
I am going to be a first time father to a perfect baby boy in November, and this song broke me and my child isn’t even born yet! Very heartfelt song!!
Hold him close and do not let him go. And remember, everything is temporary. I miss my kids like a severed limb.
I teard up when i heard this last night just thinking of my son and everything we've been through my wife saved me

Those two songs broke me too. I was full on sobbing! 😢 At least he knows that those words to his kids will not go unsaid.
I haven’t felt a heavy perspective like this from anyone besides NF. Really digging it
Exactly
WHAT A WAY TO END THE ALBUM, made me tear up again
I love how Em used so much of Jelly Rolls song “Save Me” in this song, SO GOOD!!
Beautiful song 👏👏👏. So glad he’s still with us. ( HE MADE IT). ❤️❤️❤️👵🏼 Gmaw

Side B incoming? Feature packed B side seems like an Em thing to do.
It's all but confirmed by Royce in recent interviews leading to the release of this album. There was leftover tracks awaiting.

This song is a masterpiece
Dammm this one has to have a video
Yo now you need to do the next 2 bonus tracks 👊🏼😉✌🏼
We love your reactions Cliff. You are a GOAT reactor
Is this Slim Shady singing this song? Or Marshall. I don’t think Marshall feels like he could die any day.
Dammit, it got tears out of me. Being a single dad, father of a daughter, being with Em from day 1 he dropped his first album. F*CK...
Now That Slim Shady Is Gone. We Want Marshall Back. Marshall? Marshall ... MARSHALL!!!
What in the fuck... remember that song where he asked "sometimes I wonder what the old me would say"

I saw an interview with Lil Wayne and Eminem. He asked Em about ken and when he was coming back. Eminem forgot about Ken 😂😂😂
Fuckin' hell.....I just said on Temporary that Arose ripped my heart out, now its just pulverized after these two. If anyone ever thought that his children weren't at the forefront of his mind and heart, maybe they'll wake up and see it now. When you have kids and you've lost a parent this way (or adjacent to it), it sucker punches you in 4 ways.
whew, I have emotional whiplash!
He definitely has spit from the perspective of his addiction getting the best of him, but this is something special
Eminem is a girl dad. Those ladies are his universe. Talk about unconditional LOVE for his children.
Its the album of the year for sure ❤❤❤. I have had it on repeat since Saturday in Australian when it dropped
1 of my fav records on this album. He speaking real shit and overcoming it because of his family. I too will do anything for my fam man. Amazing record. Peace.
I think he got more on his sleeves for us, at least few more songs to end this album..also I hope he'll drop "Revival of Slim Shady" or "The Death of Slim Shady 2" .Platinum stuff here #AlbumOfTheYearEminem #TheDeathofSlimShady
This last week has been a hard one and have fallen asleep and wake crying. This song on my mind. It is beautiful that music does help my soul through hard as well as good times. Haven’t dealt with addiction but the first time I tried to get to heaven I was three. Adults called it an accident. Was a teen when I realized meat I recalled was the same story. Saving me from myself can be hard but I keep going and with love. I had tried other times but never told anyone until after the crisis passed in my head. I am my biggest enemy. Many others are too.
i love how the concept of this album is what people didnt know about him during 2000-2008 and the reason he had to get rid of slim shady. especially after this song, i know why he gets so mad at people asking him to rap like that again.
This shit hits home to much man I feel the same way right now 😢
@cliffbeats bro you got this hard man and put the nail in the coffin. Awesome post
Just the intro- him being zonked out and Alana trying to wake him up just made me so sick. He really did it on this. I also noticed this is the last track, I feel like this was because this is why Slim Shady cannot continue, but why Marshall does.
The man is absolutely brilliant! Wow! Omg! Brilliant!
