As a person who despises Eminem's recent work, I'd found this album interesting. TDOSS critiqued the idea of "bringing back the old slim". You first see slim rap one-dimensionally about shallow topics like trans people and Gen Z to highlight the absurdity. At Guilty Conscience 2, the tone shifts where Eminem becomes more open about his regrets with Slim Shady. He shows audio clips of his supposed "prime" where he's drugged out of his mind and Hailie's begging him to wake up. Then calls out his own hypocrisy bullying random people and rapping about drugs despite being 16 years sober. I'm curious how Fantano will react to the rest of the album, it's NOT just about trying to get cancelled by Gen Z for saying transphobic and midget bars, it's about putting an END to that. Still a 7/10 lmao
exactly bro. I don't really like em's recent works too but this album is far from bad. The album as a whole is actually pretty creative but I guess when people who don't like him is just gonna not like him lol.
@@aleppo5398 Yeah, my main gripe with the album is how easy it is to take EVERYTHING out of context. Makes it really hard to appreciate it for most people
@@opera_him it's the way he went about it that's more nuanced. people think he was trying to cancel himself unironically but really he was portraying how 1-dimensional slim shady was, which is a pretty cool concept. the execution is still a 7/10 jid carried
I agree with the satire not working if it’s attracting a certain crowd, but then again it did take 4 seasons for that same crowd to realise The Boys was mocking them
@@megamilkxl3414 I think a lot of people really don't listen to lyrics properly unfortunately, they take everything at face value which isn't entirely em's fault
What is the whole point of the album? Same bars he’s been giving for 12 years, same flows, same beats. Except now instead of the “you’ll never make it” allegations he’s trying to beat the “you’re corny” allegations
@@minecraft9037 From my interpretation this whole album was him acknowledging that the Shady character doesn't work today, and is pretty corny. Granted, he should have made that message a tad more obvious during the first half of the album, but it was pretty clear during Guilty Conscience 2.
@@Bakabakaonichan it does still work today the problem is that it attracts the type of audience he's against 😂 just look at tom macdonald. This album wasn't that deep or great lol but it's not terrible either
@@BakabakaonichanBut guilty conscious 2 was inside the dream as well so Shady isn't actually dead. And the second half of the album was corny too. We already have joints like Castle. We don't need the 500th song about family and his past drug abuse
@@Bakabakaonichan the concept is that shit is corny and wouldnt work today, FOR HALF OF THE FUCKING ALBUM LFMAODNJFAPÇIHDGPAHWEFOU ITS 10 fucking songs of garbage to prove a point, holy fuck. how can you not understand that this amazing concept hurts his album?
It is interesting hearing Fantano talk about how he knows that “Em means it deep down” before getting to the latter parts of the album where that is really thrown into question. There’s a reason Em encouraged people to listen to the album in its entirety, there’s a narrative. Man I was so surprised when people started voicing discontent with Fantano a few years back. He was my favorite music reviewer. But as I’ve seen more of his live streams and less of his edited RUclips content the criticism starts to make sense. The smugness is tough to stomach. He doesn’t just criticize, he mocks. And when it’s music you low key like it really does leave a bad taste. Sort of makes you feel stupid for liking it. Just really not what I’m looking for out of a music reviewer.
@WhyDidTheyChooseMe Bro what 😆, the storytelling was great and the concepts were great. If you go into the album looking for issues, then just don't listen to it at that point instead of trying to be a contrarian 🤣
Preach. Same as you, I got into him some years ago, but I don't like Fantano anymore. He really let success get to his head. Every month he gets more smug, more insufferable. It really takes the joy out of music and ultimately what music is for.
It’s crazy how all the stuff Fantano is criticizing eminem for on this is quite literally what em says about “Slim shady” as a character too on Guilty Conscience 2. Fantano literally has the same view as eminem but he thinks em isn’t self-aware 💀
To be fair it does take him a while to reveal the whole satire bit and the fact that he’s actually trying to point out that slim shady wouldn’t work today.
I think the issue is if Eminem is self aware about the flaws of that personna, maybe don't dedicate an entire first half of an album to it? I've been a fan of Eminem for a long, long time. But this stuff is overrated, tired and juvenile. If he's trying to make a point that's fine. It's valid. Point recieved. But the art suffers because of it. In my opinion.
@@yazr1712 Idk i feel like he is satirizing it through over exaggeration to show that 1. It’s funny cuz it’s stupid and 2. He is making fun of how those people believe by pretending to still be slim shady. You know like the way The Boys portrays bigoted characters. Instead of sayin it’s bad, they just pretend to be those characters to make fun of people like that and also since it’s funny cuz it’s stupid. If you’ve noticed, all that Gen z, trans, cancelled, etc stuff COMPLETELY stops after Guily Conscience 2. It is definitely self aware. I think he put that 20yr old krisofer reeves song to show that it’s stupid that he actually made a song like that and to just laugh at it cuz of how dumb it is. I thinks it’s a very self aware album😭
@@yazr1712 its literally always the same exact thing with you guys when he is himself and just spitting bars hes washed and should revert to his older self and when he becomes his older self its corny and hes too old to be actin like this he just cant win
Why like Eminem when you have any rappers better than him. Also Eminem is the no 1 worst rapper of all time and all these Eminem stans are still listening to garbage like these and praising him like Kai Cenat when he was happy after when Tyla accepted his date in an alternative universe. They also can’t criticism when someone talks trash about him. The thing is, Eminem can’t rap good, every single or album he’s dropped are trash and yet they still listen to this garbage everyday. Eminem needs to retire immediately because this guy keeps on dropping corny, unfunny, unhinged, and repetitive bars and he refuses to evolve in every album which makes him the #1 worst rapper of all time
@@TwoWordsBrrttSkrrt yeah, sure, that’s why majority of mainstream rappers according to say he is a huge influence for them and one of the best, but u, the very well known two words brrtt skrrtt, u must have a better opinion that Kendrick Lamar, Juice Wrld, 50 cent, Lil Wayne, Drake, Jay Z, NF and all the others. But beside those ones, yeah ur right, this man’s music is surely garbage, fuck Kendrick, fuck 50, fuck Wayne, fuck JayZ, … ur right, after all, u r two words brrtt skrrtt, so ur opinion is so objectively the best
I groaned, I giggled, I golf-clapped. If nothing else this is worth a listen for the narrative/mystery experience of trying to figure out if Em has seriously not matured at all, self-aware, self-aware-but-still-cringe, so-meta-cringe-aware-its-actually-brilliant, or an even deeper reversal. As someone who's favorite album of all time is MMTBS it's also amazing to see another "demythologizing and deconstructing oneself" album taken in a COMPLETELY different direction.
SSLP, MMLP, The Eminem Show, Relapse, Recovery, MMLP2, Kamikaze, and MTBMB are all better than this album. It still has a lot of highs and his abilities are fully there, but some of the content is just so repetitive. He does very similar jokes about the same topics on and on. Which can be funny but it’s like I don’t feel any need to listen to certain songs again. Fuel, Temporary, and the Outro are very strong songs though.
@jobeiden4630 3 widely recognized masterpieces and the rest is all very divisive. Hardcore fans really love Relapse. More commercial/pop fans really love Recovery. Anything after is either bad or not really for everybody. Fantano seemed to like MMLP2 but it's kinda trash. So, yeah, kinda, but this was a huge improvement
@@bushisback112 it is quite literally just eminem being eminem. there's nothing different about it. you got the drug problem songs, the songs for his children, the features that outrap him, even some (a lot) of the shock humor of the past. it's literally nothing new
Which shows how much of a hater he truly is and is just looking for a reason. It's obvious to this point. Now Revival, I will never defend. Outside of a few standout tracks that album is terrible. Kamikaze I feel Fantano got triggered since that album was aimed at people like him. MTBMB he gave it a 6 I believe and this new album is better than MTBMB so if he gives it a worse rating, he's not being g honest and just showing he wants to hate Eminem. But his fan base in the chat is even worse. Fantano talks about how corny Eminem is but if Fantano actually thinks he's cool and edgy by hating on every artist, that's widely famous that he can and I can name a lot, he's the corniest and lamest mf on the internet and the most biased. It's not even a debate anymore. For the sports fans, he's the Colin Cowherd of critiquing music. Let's just put it that way.
Fantano 2018: That’s what I’ve been asking, where is the old em, do you have his email or phone number? Fantano 2021: Discombobulated sounds great, why can’t he make more songs that sound like his older music Fantano 2024: Houdini is bad he’s trying to hard to be his older self and sound like his older music and it’s embarrassing Okay? What do you want exactly? (retirement is not relevant)
This album is satire, but not towards the new generations; rather, it is directed at his most die-hard fans who constantly ask for the return of Slim. You want Slim? This is the crap there is. (This is how I imagine Eminem in his studio.) Epic moment, when Eminem acknowledges that he doesn't know to what extent Slim was a character or an excuse.
The problem is fans and unfortunately Eminem have reduced slim to just being this offensive guy... When that's not necessarily the case. Slim was raw and said out of pocket creative lyrics that were witty and sometimes offensive he didn't just spew offensive things just for the sake of being offensive... What we really missed about slim shady was the lyricism saying things like "I'll snatch you out your mother's frame I'll take it further than that at lover's Lane and cock block your father's game" "wearing disguises sunglasses and visors because my split personality is having an identity crisis" "whose arm is this I must have cut it off of the pharmacist who refused to renew my 7th prescription of darvocets, I'm the old man who lives upstairs and starves his pets and never leaves his house cuz he thinks his car is possessed"
no. You all are latching on to a nostalgic fantasy. SLIM shady is a pathetic A-Hole He represents everything Em hates about himself the most. That's what Em is trying to get across. This album shows you Slim shady for Eminems/ Marshall Mathers ' perspective.
@@user-kz9sg4fu9m exactly I can play a drinking game to how many times he rhymed with scissors on this album, mentioned Bruce Jenner, said the r word, Christopher Reeves, and midgets... And I would be hammered by the third song... It's not that I have a problem with him mentioning those things, in and of itself, it's just how many times are you going to say it, before you start to feel like it gets a little old yourself? I wanted the slim that said "never ran with a clique I'm a posse, Kamikaze, strapping a motherf***ing bomb across me, from the second I was born my mama lost me, I'm a cross between Manson, Esham, and Ozzy, I don't know why the f**k I'm here in the first place, the worst day on this Earth was my first birthday, (r word), what did that nurse say?, brain damage?, f**k I was born during an earthquake" "How you gonna scare somebody with a gun threat, when they're high off of drugs they haven't even done yet?"
The music is just bad he’s justified, some of this album is really good. But for the most part it’s “gen z rage bait” and cringe. It would be better if he presented concepts in a smarter way, but it’s just bluntly cringe at a lot of parts. I did like the ending portion of the album tho it was good.
So did most people. Fantano already dislikes Eminem a lot, he made up his mind before listening. And his fans are just trying to appeal to him and are teenagers so they'll say whatever they think he wants to hear.
@@Jamb13 He will. This was just his first opinions of it live. I'm sure he'll listen to it a few more times and drop a real review in a week or so. Doesn't seem like he's gonna change his mind though, considering how he pretty much wanted to hate it before it started.
@@Jamb13it makes fun of his people the gays and trans liberals so obviously he’s going to ignore the flows and everything music related and focus on that because that how he is. He judges albums based on his political views.
But if Kendrick had said it, y’all woulda thought it was a quadruple entendre. Crazy how when em raps y’all wait for the one line you don’t like 😂 but if it’s your favorite rapper y’all let mad shit slide. Kendrick wrote a whole verse about a daughter that doesn’t exist and y’all acted like it was the best diss y’all ever heard 🤡
After listening from start to finish it's clear to me that Eminem is doing something very specific here. The first major point is he is bringing back Slim Shady in a way a lot of his loudest fans are always saying they want but it's clear exactly why Slim doesn't work anymore as he's making some of the craziest songs he has in years (Brand New Dance for example where Slim makes a "club song" about a dance mocking paraplegics, and then again later after Slim forces them to dye their hair for Houdini) Marshal repeatedly calls him juvenile and that he can't say that shit anymore etc. The second major point being that Marshall is trying to plead with him throughout the album to stop, to let him go, until the crescendo in Guilty Conscience 2, Slim is making points that Marshall used him to be something he couldn't be himself and that his success is due to Slim, Marshall concedes that he absolutely did those things and Slim is right that he used him but also points out how hypocritical Slim is because he bullies people in music but hated when he was bullied as a kid, this all comes to head when Marshall finally challenges Slim and kills him himself to the pleading sounds of Slim promising to change. In Bad One after he killed Slim he's literally telling us that everyone says "bring back Slim" until they get him, then they complain. A third bonus point and overarching theme from start to finish is that Slim Shady came from a dark place of heavy drug abuse (throughout the album Slim is constantly trying to force Marshall to take drugs and drink), the final song (not the bonus tracks) make it 100% clear that drugs fucked up a lot of his life that he regrets. That last song "Somebody Save Me" with Jelly Roll is heartbreaking. It's like he is fully closing the chapter on Slim and shows why he had to do it. Including clips from recordings of his own real life self being too high/hung over to have a meal with his daughter? His daughter begging him to get up and come eat with them as he lays there mumbling his words promising to come out while also asking her to shut the door. Holy shit, that's a very intimate and dark moment that he didn't have to show us. He didn't owe anyone that but it's a very clear remark on the state of himself during his "Shady" years. Imo it's like he's putting it right in our face like, "see mother fuckers, this is who I was then and I hate it." Then he makes us sit there and listen to him beg forgiveness to all of the people in his family he hurt because of drugs. He clearly is coming to terms, beyond just how juvenile it all was as shady, he can't be that person because of how it ruined his relationships, how it impacted his kids. This album works from start to finish as a whole piece. I actually love this as an arc, a full story. To me it actually feels like the death of Slim Shady. Unfortunately though I think the short attention spans of most now they won't sit through it that way and will take bits out of context and complain about it. I already see that in comment sections. Hell I saw a few tweets about his line about Kendrick's album that was meant as a criticism of critics and not actually Kendrick
Guilty Conscience 2 does in 6 minutes what it took Fantano this whole video to do. It's like watching someone play Spec Ops: The Line and pausing the game every few minutes to be like "That was a bad thing the game made me do. I can't believe they made me do that."
I almost feel like stopping the reaction before that specific song is him trolling. Granted, he called the theme of that song around the middle of the video, so I don’t think that changes much
I get where Em was trying to go with it, but it could have been executed better. Most of the tracks being just slim going off, and then 1 song thats like “that’s not really me tho” isn’t the formula he was thinking it was
who cares this guys taste in good hip hop music just isnt there lol ppl need to stop checking for this bozos opinion let his reviews die already sheesh
@@xavierkellam3514 Beats: nearly the entire album (one of the best being lucifer) rhymes/bars: the line mentioning diddy, candace o diss, the amber heard line, the flow near the end of habits, the entire em verse on fuel There's more but maybe you could actually listen to the album with your ears before asking for the stuff YOU missed. It's not my fault you have bad media literacy.
@@C0astinG4mer the best song on there is renaissance and for the most part it goes down hill from there. The whole album is “look how edgy I used to be wasn’t it cringe”. And it doesn’t hit because half his fan base thinks that’s good. The satire is done poorly. He’s so out of touch that he can’t do homophobia, transphobia, or fatphobia anymore I’ve never been a fan of Eminem’s hooks I don’t think that’s ever been his strong suit. Eminem used to right songs about killing his wife and having his daughter as an accomplice. Idk why he thought people would be mad at lame transphobic bars. It’s honestly just a lazy album. The idea of the album isn’t great but only some of the songs are hit like renaissance, fuel, brand new dance, Tobey(mostly cuz big Sean and babytron carry the song) . I’d probably give it a 4/10
@@xavierkellam3514 Do his "fans" not realize that slim shady is the character he's killing with this album. Anyways, what a fanbase likes shouldn't be a deciding factor on whether an album is good or not. Every opinion on this album is going to be highly opinionated. So, in my opinion, I enjoy the way incorporates both slim and eminem relatively smoothly. Looking at each song at face value, good rhymes, and the jokes are ok but it's literally impossible for him to joke like he did 20+ years ago so I'd give that a pass. The only thing I had an issue with was slim constantly bringing up Caitlyn Jenner. I feel like there were a lot of clever bars that just get glossed over because "the annoying character that dies in this album is being portrayed as an annoying prick." Who would've thought. Personally, I'd rate this album an 8-9. You all like to praise JID on fuel and babytron/ big sean on tobey and then completely ignore eminems verses. It feels like lots of people had their mind made up on this album before even listening to it. Just my opinion, music is subjective as hell.
Em feels like gen z is canceling or dissing him but tbh it’s kinda cringe hearing compared to candace because that’s not true lol gen z just ignoring him and hip hop fans are divided where you have die hard fans and critics. And yeah em been dropping horrible albums, this one wasn’t that bad production, videos, and bringing slim characters is dope. 6/10
Was waiting to see if someone noticed that. Fantano is not reviewing music here, he is reviewing if the content aligns with his own political views, and if it does, he likes it, if it doesnt, he thinks its lame
That makes me think that he really didn’t work on this album for very long or maybe swapped out a lot of songs. That whole Eminem being cancelled by Gen Z thing happened fairly recently online, and he references several other things that happened very recently (like the Diddy and Cassie situation).
@@_.-_Crimpy-_..-. the gen z cancelling has been going on for a while, at least a full year at this point, and id assume most major rappers knew about diddy, but also eminem just never liked diddy
Fantano really should take a break from twitter for a while I feel like certain fanbases really get to him like Eminem’s, Kanye’s, etc and it effects his mindset towards an album.
He doesn't give a damn about any fan base, he's as objective as he ever was, it just can never appear that way to glazers who would rather he praise everything their favorite artist does.
@@jovanreid6782 dude he could give it a not good for all I care lol I’m just saying once he starts bringing in a certain artists fan base into his album reaction you already know it’s probably not gonna be a truly impartial review
I want you to change, but don't change.I want you to grow up, but don't age .I want the rage, but don't get too angry.I want the new, but old Shady😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i love how you make a sarcastic face anytime em starts going double-time with the syllables. It's a poetic microcosm of your overall character. You have no talent, other than gathering an audience of fellow talentless, vapid, empty geeks to hate on someone making art because of your preconceptions. Your default mode is to tear down. How predictable also that as soon as he mentions something bad about Candace Owens - you're suddenly searching for ways to subtly glaze him. Absolute NPC.
I can finally see why Vince Staples doesn't like Fantano and what he has to bring to the culture and reviewing rap albums... rage quitting like that is crazy work
The fuck are you talking about rage quitting? Lol Vince rage quit something? Because I didn't see any rage quitting in this clip. I did see bemused dismissal at the end but it's a stream so like...duh entertainment.
@WhyDidTheyChooseMe"100+ comments on this channel" Please, I'm begging you, get a job. Stop bouncing and doing tricks on it for a bald middle aged man
Highly disagree with Fantano's take on Eminem being an old man wanting to say bad words just to be cool. That's the whole point. He doesn't have to. He never did. He's highly aware of that. That's why the whole album in my opinion is about how alter egos are stupid and not being afraid to be more honest with yourself instead of catering to others all the time. You might not have that problem but when it comes to our generation we sadly do. Always worrying about not being condemned when trying to please others. To be more accepted and understood. Finding many ways for self-expression without it being offending to everyone else all the time. By the end, Eminem accepts his true self without the Slim Shady persona anymore to finally move on as his normal self and peacefully live his life without anyone's permission. Slim Shady was a test for everyone to see if his harsh words could get to anyone. But the point is, it shouldn't. Only you can make those words to have that much power over you. That's my interpretation anyway. Also, corny? You should really listen back to all the rhyme schemes and technical structures of his songs again. A lot of hidden meanings are easy to miss. Overall, a great nostalgic and most mature work he's done by far in my opinion. A great swan song to a long-respected career. I truly loved it. Thanks! 😊
I get it but still think there's no reason for there to be so many slim songs before GC2. So drawn out and the lyrics are so bad, I get he's intentionally being vulger, why would I listen to any of the first half again?
@@LordPerrin Thats the concept i guess? You rarely find long albums where all songs are top, take any Kendrick album, half songs there clearly didnt make success as the other half, but they dont have to. These songs are there to glue the album as a whole experience
@@LordPerrinif this is the send off to the Slim Shady character then there definitely should have been a couple Slim Shady songs. If you dint like the first half that’s perfectly fine but I enjoyed it, i see reasons to go back and listen it again.
One thing I find interesting is how the reference are all outdated when slim shady shows up but when Eminem shows back up the references are more recent. Maybe thats Eminem satirically saying slim shady needs to stay the fuq in 2006.
@@Yo-Ah-Kim nah it wouldn’t. I’m going off of all the other times not just this time. The chat is unbearable. I don’t really care what you think about Stans tbh cos I’m not one, just a normal fan.
what part of this album was old em aside from the first minute long track? all i keep seeing is people saying they are happy he’s back but he sounds just like he has for the past decade. are these people even listening to the right album?
Brand new dance? Literally sounds like something in 2004 (because thats when that song was recorded, it was planned for encore but took it off cause Christopher reeves died). He literally mentioned that in guilty conscience 2
Might be the worst critique I've ever seen in my life. Bro didn't even bother thinking about the songs/albums at all, he went into it wanting to despise every song on the album
Fontana is a hater. That’s why I don’t watch his videos anymore because he always talks shit and it’s not just about Eminem it’s a lot of artists all the time
I can't take anyone who's angry or upset at Fantano here seriously. I'm a huge Eminem fan, I really am. I loved the album and I think it's good. I don't take offense or anger when someone dislikes it and does bring up his points. It's annoying to see most of Em's fanbase go yell at his face that he's ""missing the point"".
The number of ppl here who can't seem to grasp that one can get the concept but still be critical of it and the blunt and predictable way in which it's delivered is... Well... I'm actually not surprised. These ppl seem to think this concept is brilliant afterall. Lmao.
Happens with every release. If somebody simply doesn't like it, a lot just assume either you don't understand what he's saying or you're hating for the sake of hating.
I genuinely think most people are missing the point, including the defenders. He is all of these controversial things because it keeps him in the conversation. I first heard about Houdini because my gf said TikTok was mad at him again. This keeps him trending and growing, because everybody feels like they need to weigh in.
melonman criticizes an old man for cursing and acting edgy all while laughing and saying "he's so lame, look at him!" at every song like a movie cheerleader squad bully. True renaissance
Im sorry but melon already was just completely negative of the album before it even began. Which is ok i guess he can be biased about certain artists because we all are. But at the same time i cant take his reviews on eminem seriously anymore. The only time in this reaction he actually tried to keep an open mind was when he saw jid featured. With that being said this was a good album with a poorly executed concept.
I agree, Mrquibler. I'm a huge Eminem fan and I don't listen to his critiques on Eminem's work since Kamikaze because all he do is just insult the fans that I admit, some of them are rabid, yet at the same time, has the behavior of that of a person just throwing up tables to get a rise out of fans, which, after seeing the first few seconds of this, I checked out. That said, this album is one of Em's best work. Maybe like around top five, along with his classics and Music to be Murdered By. And the Melon's fans and the chat is literal cancer; huh, guess they've proven Renaissance correct, don't you think? I don't lose my mind like the irrational fans but the Eminem haters are just, if not, worse. But hey, ever since he gave Sexyy Red, of all people, an 8 on her album, as ratchet and rundown she is, as a person and a musician, I stopped taking his reviews like this seriously. I agree with some of his reviews, disagree on some (looking at you, MBDTF) but this one...just...rubbed me the wrong way...like...seriously?
@@deontenetter9696 personally i didnt like this record more than any of eminems first 7 albums except encore because i really like those albums a lot but this is the best thing hes done in the past 10 years. I usually agree with fantanos opinion on other artists but when it comes to eminem he always just seems to act extra edgy and critical. He gave mmlp2 a 7 on his review but put it in c tier in his eminem album tier list thats how harsh he is on him.
I’d give this album a strong 5 - light 6. Better than his past three albums, but it at many times sounds like a 50 year old coming to terms with how to stay relevant while saying edgy things. Literally feels like a “mid-life crisis” album. Also sounds like an old man complaining about gen z and cancelation so much, yet I don’t know of any trying to cancel him. Maybe I’m wrong, idk. The hits off this album are bangers, tho.
I'm so disappointed in this... I thought he was better than this, especially better than being the type to drop the album in the middle of a concept album, what kind of music fan would listen to a concept album and not listen to the full thing through... Is he really that deep into appealing to the clinically online that he completely ignores the unwritten rules of listening to an entire concept album through? He would understand that especially how much of an artform a well crafted concept album is, I know it from his previous reviews and opinions over the years. Throughout the album he associates Slim Shady with drugs, and how he got addicted to that persona, just like how that era of his life was when he was a drug addict. Habits is all about this idea. Then in Trouble, it was quite literally forced drugs on him to get him in that mind state so Slim Shady can come back, in the song it is described as Slim Shady doing it to him. Evil, Lucifer and Antichrist is the peak Slim Shady with the names of the songs gradually getting to a worse personification of evil, then Fuel and Road Rage is Shady at his absolute worst, like he overdosed on Slim Shady. Road Rage in particular is the tipping point where it goes too far and it is why it is the track right before Houdini, where Eminem snaps out of it and confronts Slim Shady, like going into rehab. This situation is what he talked about back in Habits with him getting addicted to the persona and pushing it too far, similar to drug addiction. Finally in Guilty Conscious 2, Eminem and Slim Shady argue with each other, Slim Shady makes a point that he wouldn't be where he is today if it weren't for him and that him using him as an excuse to say awful things with no repercussion, again reiterating that he got addicted to Slim like he got addicted to drugs until he pushed it too far and lost control, obviously referencing his overdose. At the end of the song, Eminem "kills" Slim Shady for good, being a clear symbol of the decision to be sober. In that album's "story", it was revealed that every song prior was a nightmare he had where Slim took over his consciousness and said the most horrendous shit in the world, which represents modern Eminem's view on that time of his life. After that nightmare scenario, he has clairvoyance, like he is sober, he contemplates death by writing a song for Hailie to listen to when he passes in Temporary, he contemplates his career and legacy in Bad One, he passes the figurative torch down to Detroit rappers of younger generations in an attempt to unite generations rather than dividing them in Tobey, and then he contemplates an alternate universe where he never got sober and his life is much worse in Somebody Save Me. This album proves his critics saying "old Eminem is better" wrong by literally bringing back the old slim shady era of Eminem from the early 2000s completely unfiltered during his peak addiction days, intentionally crossing lines just like his slim persona did back in the day and even being well aware that the shit he is saying will get him in trouble because "old em" didn't give a shit since he was too drugged up to care. He is showing the people who miss that Eminem era how that time was a terrible time in his life which almost killed him. The album is a look back at his entire career, from drug addiction, overdosing, going into rehab and becoming sober. It is made painfully clear throughout the album that Slim Shady is symbolism for this drug addiction. It kind of reminds me of an alternate version of NIN The Downwards Spiral where he escapes the evil within him and gets better by the end. It is a very heartfelt story about a man being at his absolute worst being able to come out of it alive, able to watch his daughters grow up and be proud of them. It is a story only modern Eminem can tell because it is only he who has had first-hand experience with every topic on the album. This is how I interpret the album, I could be dead wrong, but I've heard this album 4 times now and that's the conclusion I have made.
Everything you said is exactly how I interpreted it all as well. Anyone saying that Em is just trying to be shocking or is giving boomer takes for controversy is so hilariously missing the point that they should just leave the musical critiques to others. Anyone who still thinks that way after hearing Guilty Conscience 2 clearly has no understanding of what this album is trying to do. Fantano howling laughing and his absurd take after hearing Guilty Conscience 2 is honestly just embarrassing, and I usually agree with him on stuff.
Felt he came in to the album thinking he knew what it was about and couldn’t understand what it really was about… the stream was just basically “two homosexual virgins incorrectly criticize a man they are jealous of”
@Clashedroyaled yea like, for a critic, he certainly went into the album wanting to hate it and as a result... he hates it... shocking, right? It's fine though, those who listened to the album through and paid attention love the album, myself included. It's up there as one of my favourite Em albums, and I think that's an opinion a whole lot of people share.
I really wish Em would realize that when people want slim, they aren't saying he needs yo be offensive, we're wanting the raw Eminem that just flew off with the lyrics and said wild things that were out of pocket... Not because they were offensive, but because it was just something that made you say "oh $#!+" Like "wearing disguises, sunglasses and visors, because my split personality is having an identity crisis" "who's arm is this? Musta cut it off from thw pharmacist that refused to renew my seventh prescription of darvacets" "mothers screaming please take him back to christ, meet you on the street and slap you just to break the ice *what up I'm Eminem* "
@@paddyjohnson2313 not really... He mainly just stuck to saying the most offensive things he could think of... The takeaway is Bruce jenner, the r word, and he can rhyme with scissors in at least four different songs.... The p Diddy lines were probably about as close as he got
I really wish that fans would realize that Eminem is one of the largest artists on the planet, and has received hate from 30 directions on a daily basis. You represent what a tiny subset wants. I want flow and multi-syllable internal rhyme schemes and doubles and triples, and we keep getting that. I don't get the complaining.
I’m gonna save you guys 17 minutes and 56 seconds. Fantano and his chat essentially love when Eminem attacks people they don’t like, but complain and say it’s trash when he goes after people they like or goes against their political views. Same old stuff, different video. Worth a skip.
Gonna save you guys some brain cells too. They didn't like the same lazy corny joke 600 times but laughed at new material about relevant people to today like Candace Owens. Maybe one day Caitlyn Jenner jokes will come back in fashion. It's been like 10+ years since she mattered at all but surely, ONE DAY it'll be funny again.
Kendrick could literally just fart into the mic, and Fantano would tell us that we don't understand the meaning of the fart. I feel like Melon is just too biased, too be a critic
Your critique is absolutely meaningless when it is very clear you made up your mind before listening to anything. We get it, you don’t like Eminem. Don’t patronize us by pretending you are going to give a genuine, unbiased review to anything he puts out.
The album is basically the musical version of a standup comedian from the 2000s doing a special in 2024 at 51. If that sounds appealing to you then you will like it and if it doesn't you won't
@@nomecognome8737 everyone understands the concept of the album I don't understand how that changes anything. because it's a character i can't find it corny?

it's hilarious that fantano will unironically say he likes songs more because Eminem says political points he agrees with. This isn't music review, it's political signalling
Fantanos reaction to Eminem is almost as played out as the slim shady persona. Unprofessional really. Would rather an actual review than you just trolling for the sake of it. This album has lowlights and highlights and is one of his better efforts and honestly, fantano is stuck in an Eminem echo chamber
"Wap wap wap wap, I'mma fuc him up Wap wap wap wap, I'mma do my stuff." - Kendrick I don't love the album but literally no lyric on it is as completely basic as the one listed above. It's honestly like a line I could have come up with in a freestyle back when I was 7. And yet, Fantano loved that line.
Eminem wrote songs about killing his wife and having his daughter help him do it. Why would he think fat bars would be edgier or get cancelled? The real shame is he didn’t do fatphobia or transphobia well this entire album. No one is getting mad at Eminem calling Caitlin Jenner a dude.
disagree. i cant help but feel its like a "the boys" level disagreeance. the people that thought marshall was on their side are suddenly learning they were the joke all along. and anthony's bein a bit of a bitch not even attempting to understand it.
Em flip flops across the line too often in the album for his general fan base to understand they’re “in on the joke.” He just seems so dependent on this whole cancel me cancel me narrative now, it’s tiresome to sit through
The thing is, I think its really hard to say that the first half of this album is any good, when tracks ON THIS VERY ALBUM like guilty conscience 2 have Em basically saying "no, slim is a dumb gimmick and I can't hide behind him." Which is true! But it also makes the first half of the album look even stupider.
This album was basically a prequel to the recovery series while also being a sequel to the slim shady days. I can't blame him for not seeing that since he didn't reach the tracks that made it clear what the real concept is, but hopefully he realizes by the time he gets to the review
What of him hating on it? That’s not entertaining it’s just hating if it was any other artist doing this doing this type of work he would be praising them
@@nateooo101 I don’t need to be insecure because the album is gonna go platinum and go high on Spotify numbers anyway so😂 doesn’t matter what he thinks.. he still outselling 99% of the world of artists😅
he stopped listening at houdini because guilty conscience 2 is legitimately good. so are temporary and somebody save me and he didn't want to film his reaction to the objectively good songs. fantano is a clown
for the concept to work that second half of the album needed to be much more fleshed out and that first half more mixed in content and perhaps shorter. There’s no clear storyline or transition. It’s just a block of “oh no Shady is taking over” *spews repetitive controversial content vicariously* followed by Guilty Conscience 2 and what feels like a disjointed epilogue. As far as concept albums go it’s a dud for me. Kinda sad that this what he came up with after 4 years, makes me wonder when he really started on it. I’d rank this comfortably lower than even some of his more recent albums. Certainly lower than MTBMB.
Fantano’s body language tells me he’s gonna be secretly playing and enjoying this album and the other guy doesn’t even looks like he even likes Rap all together he’d probably enjoy more punk rock or something else 💪😂🤣👍👍

As a person who despises Eminem's recent work, I'd found this album interesting. TDOSS critiqued the idea of "bringing back the old slim". You first see slim rap one-dimensionally about shallow topics like trans people and Gen Z to highlight the absurdity. At Guilty Conscience 2, the tone shifts where Eminem becomes more open about his regrets with Slim Shady. He shows audio clips of his supposed "prime" where he's drugged out of his mind and Hailie's begging him to wake up. Then calls out his own hypocrisy bullying random people and rapping about drugs despite being 16 years sober. I'm curious how Fantano will react to the rest of the album, it's NOT just about trying to get cancelled by Gen Z for saying transphobic and midget bars, it's about putting an END to that. Still a 7/10 lmao
exactly bro. I don't really like em's recent works too but this album is far from bad. The album as a whole is actually pretty creative but I guess when people who don't like him is just gonna not like him lol.
@@aleppo5398 Yeah, my main gripe with the album is how easy it is to take EVERYTHING out of context. Makes it really hard to appreciate it for most people

@@minecraft9037 From my interpretation this whole album was him acknowledging that the Shady character doesn't work today, and is pretty corny. Granted, he should have made that message a tad more obvious during the first half of the album, but it was pretty clear during Guilty Conscience 2.

It is interesting hearing Fantano talk about how he knows that “Em means it deep down” before getting to the latter parts of the album where that is really thrown into question. There’s a reason Em encouraged people to listen to the album in its entirety, there’s a narrative.
Man I was so surprised when people started voicing discontent with Fantano a few years back. He was my favorite music reviewer. But as I’ve seen more of his live streams and less of his edited RUclips content the criticism starts to make sense. The smugness is tough to stomach. He doesn’t just criticize, he mocks. And when it’s music you low key like it really does leave a bad taste. Sort of makes you feel stupid for liking it. Just really not what I’m looking for out of a music reviewer.
@WhyDidTheyChooseMe you sound like Fantano bro 😂 just so unpleasant
@WhyDidTheyChooseMe Bro what 😆, the storytelling was great and the concepts were great. If you go into the album looking for issues, then just don't listen to it at that point instead of trying to be a contrarian 🤣
Preach. Same as you, I got into him some years ago, but I don't like Fantano anymore. He really let success get to his head. Every month he gets more smug, more insufferable. It really takes the joy out of music and ultimately what music is for.
@WhyDidTheyChooseMe his lyrics are mind blowing. And above your head by the sounds of it.
@WhyDidTheyChooseMe whatever your favorite album of this year is, i can guarantee this is better so you have no argument
It’s crazy how all the stuff Fantano is criticizing eminem for on this is quite literally what em says about “Slim shady” as a character too on Guilty Conscience 2. Fantano literally has the same view as eminem but he thinks em isn’t self-aware 💀
To be fair it does take him a while to reveal the whole satire bit and the fact that he’s actually trying to point out that slim shady wouldn’t work today.
I think the issue is if Eminem is self aware about the flaws of that personna, maybe don't dedicate an entire first half of an album to it?
I've been a fan of Eminem for a long, long time. But this stuff is overrated, tired and juvenile. If he's trying to make a point that's fine. It's valid. Point recieved. But the art suffers because of it. In my opinion.
@@yazr1712 Idk i feel like he is satirizing it through over exaggeration to show that 1. It’s funny cuz it’s stupid and 2. He is making fun of how those people believe by pretending to still be slim shady. You know like the way The Boys portrays bigoted characters. Instead of sayin it’s bad, they just pretend to be those characters to make fun of people like that and also since it’s funny cuz it’s stupid. If you’ve noticed, all that Gen z, trans, cancelled, etc stuff COMPLETELY stops after Guily Conscience 2. It is definitely self aware. I think he put that 20yr old krisofer reeves song to show that it’s stupid that he actually made a song like that and to just laugh at it cuz of how dumb it is. I thinks it’s a very self aware album😭

I groaned, I giggled, I golf-clapped. If nothing else this is worth a listen for the narrative/mystery experience of trying to figure out if Em has seriously not matured at all, self-aware, self-aware-but-still-cringe, so-meta-cringe-aware-its-actually-brilliant, or an even deeper reversal.
As someone who's favorite album of all time is MMTBS it's also amazing to see another "demythologizing and deconstructing oneself" album taken in a COMPLETELY different direction.
SSLP, MMLP, The Eminem Show, Relapse, Recovery, MMLP2, Kamikaze, and MTBMB are all better than this album. It still has a lot of highs and his abilities are fully there, but some of the content is just so repetitive. He does very similar jokes about the same topics on and on. Which can be funny but it’s like I don’t feel any need to listen to certain songs again. Fuel, Temporary, and the Outro are very strong songs though.
@jobeiden4630 3 widely recognized masterpieces and the rest is all very divisive. Hardcore fans really love Relapse. More commercial/pop fans really love Recovery. Anything after is either bad or not really for everybody. Fantano seemed to like MMLP2 but it's kinda trash.

But his fan base in the chat is even worse.

This album is satire, but not towards the new generations; rather, it is directed at his most die-hard fans who constantly ask for the return of Slim. You want Slim? This is the crap there is. (This is how I imagine Eminem in his studio.)
Epic moment, when Eminem acknowledges that he doesn't know to what extent Slim was a character or an excuse.
The problem is fans and unfortunately Eminem have reduced slim to just being this offensive guy... When that's not necessarily the case.
Slim was raw and said out of pocket creative lyrics that were witty and sometimes offensive he didn't just spew offensive things just for the sake of being offensive...
What we really missed about slim shady was the lyricism saying things like "I'll snatch you out your mother's frame I'll take it further than that at lover's Lane and cock block your father's game" "wearing disguises sunglasses and visors because my split personality is having an identity crisis" "whose arm is this I must have cut it off of the pharmacist who refused to renew my 7th prescription of darvocets, I'm the old man who lives upstairs and starves his pets and never leaves his house cuz he thinks his car is possessed"

@@rogerr472 Really?lool
After listening from start to finish it's clear to me that Eminem is doing something very specific here.
The first major point is he is bringing back Slim Shady in a way a lot of his loudest fans are always saying they want but it's clear exactly why Slim doesn't work anymore as he's making some of the craziest songs he has in years (Brand New Dance for example where Slim makes a "club song" about a dance mocking paraplegics, and then again later after Slim forces them to dye their hair for Houdini) Marshal repeatedly calls him juvenile and that he can't say that shit anymore etc.
The second major point being that Marshall is trying to plead with him throughout the album to stop, to let him go, until the crescendo in Guilty Conscience 2, Slim is making points that Marshall used him to be something he couldn't be himself and that his success is due to Slim, Marshall concedes that he absolutely did those things and Slim is right that he used him but also points out how hypocritical Slim is because he bullies people in music but hated when he was bullied as a kid, this all comes to head when Marshall finally challenges Slim and kills him himself to the pleading sounds of Slim promising to change.
In Bad One after he killed Slim he's literally telling us that everyone says "bring back Slim" until they get him, then they complain.
A third bonus point and overarching theme from start to finish is that Slim Shady came from a dark place of heavy drug abuse (throughout the album Slim is constantly trying to force Marshall to take drugs and drink), the final song (not the bonus tracks) make it 100% clear that drugs fucked up a lot of his life that he regrets.
That last song "Somebody Save Me" with Jelly Roll is heartbreaking. It's like he is fully closing the chapter on Slim and shows why he had to do it. Including clips from recordings of his own real life self being too high/hung over to have a meal with his daughter? His daughter begging him to get up and come eat with them as he lays there mumbling his words promising to come out while also asking her to shut the door. Holy shit, that's a very intimate and dark moment that he didn't have to show us. He didn't owe anyone that but it's a very clear remark on the state of himself during his "Shady" years. Imo it's like he's putting it right in our face like, "see mother fuckers, this is who I was then and I hate it." Then he makes us sit there and listen to him beg forgiveness to all of the people in his family he hurt because of drugs. He clearly is coming to terms, beyond just how juvenile it all was as shady, he can't be that person because of how it ruined his relationships, how it impacted his kids.
This album works from start to finish as a whole piece. I actually love this as an arc, a full story. To me it actually feels like the death of Slim Shady.
Unfortunately though I think the short attention spans of most now they won't sit through it that way and will take bits out of context and complain about it. I already see that in comment sections.
Hell I saw a few tweets about his line about Kendrick's album that was meant as a criticism of critics and not actually Kendrick

I almost feel like stopping the reaction before that specific song is him trolling. Granted, he called the theme of that song around the middle of the video, so I don’t think that changes much
I get where Em was trying to go with it, but it could have been executed better. Most of the tracks being just slim going off, and then 1 song thats like “that’s not really me tho” isn’t the formula he was thinking it was
who cares this guys taste in good hip hop music just isnt there lol ppl need to stop checking for this bozos opinion let his reviews die already sheesh
@@The_Weasel_ damn, the only person that knows Spec Ops: The Line beside me lmao
Em obviously isn’t as good as he used to be, but Fantano seems almost reluctant to give him credit for beats/bars/rhymes that are funny or good.
That's because he's desperate for black people to like him
Name the good bars/rhymes/beats
@@xavierkellam3514 Beats: nearly the entire album (one of the best being lucifer)
rhymes/bars: the line mentioning diddy, candace o diss, the amber heard line, the flow near the end of habits, the entire em verse on fuel
There's more but maybe you could actually listen to the album with your ears before asking for the stuff YOU missed. It's not my fault you have bad media literacy.
@@C0astinG4mer the best song on there is renaissance and for the most part it goes down hill from there. The whole album is “look how edgy I used to be wasn’t it cringe”. And it doesn’t hit because half his fan base thinks that’s good. The satire is done poorly. He’s so out of touch that he can’t do homophobia, transphobia, or fatphobia anymore
I’ve never been a fan of Eminem’s hooks I don’t think that’s ever been his strong suit.
Eminem used to right songs about killing his wife and having his daughter as an accomplice. Idk why he thought people would be mad at lame transphobic bars. It’s honestly just a lazy album.
The idea of the album isn’t great but only some of the songs are hit like renaissance, fuel, brand new dance, Tobey(mostly cuz big Sean and babytron carry the song) . I’d probably give it a 4/10
@@xavierkellam3514 Do his "fans" not realize that slim shady is the character he's killing with this album. Anyways, what a fanbase likes shouldn't be a deciding factor on whether an album is good or not. Every opinion on this album is going to be highly opinionated. So, in my opinion, I enjoy the way incorporates both slim and eminem relatively smoothly. Looking at each song at face value, good rhymes, and the jokes are ok but it's literally impossible for him to joke like he did 20+ years ago so I'd give that a pass. The only thing I had an issue with was slim constantly bringing up Caitlyn Jenner. I feel like there were a lot of clever bars that just get glossed over because "the annoying character that dies in this album is being portrayed as an annoying prick." Who would've thought. Personally, I'd rate this album an 8-9. You all like to praise JID on fuel and babytron/ big sean on tobey and then completely ignore eminems verses. It feels like lots of people had their mind made up on this album before even listening to it. Just my opinion, music is subjective as hell.
It's funny how all the immature jokes were a problem until he started dissing Candace Owens lol
Not finding something funny isnt the same as having a problem with it.
because that part is true and based
genuinely though that joke sucked too
Em feels like gen z is canceling or dissing him but tbh it’s kinda cringe hearing compared to candace because that’s not true lol gen z just ignoring him and hip hop fans are divided where you have die hard fans and critics. And yeah em been dropping horrible albums, this one wasn’t that bad production, videos, and bringing slim characters is dope. 6/10
Was waiting to see if someone noticed that. Fantano is not reviewing music here, he is reviewing if the content aligns with his own political views, and if it does, he likes it, if it doesnt, he thinks its lame
Can't believe he leaned into the "gen z is trying to cancel eminem" meme so hard
oh, he has been since Tone Deaf
@@internetcutie orrrrnana
That makes me think that he really didn’t work on this album for very long or maybe swapped out a lot of songs. That whole Eminem being cancelled by Gen Z thing happened fairly recently online, and he references several other things that happened very recently (like the Diddy and Cassie situation).
@@_.-_Crimpy-_..-. the gen z cancelling has been going on for a while, at least a full year at this point, and id assume most major rappers knew about diddy, but also eminem just never liked diddy
@@internetcutiecope
Anthony has his mind made up about what his opinion of the album was before he began listening.
Fantano really should take a break from twitter for a while I feel like certain fanbases really get to him like Eminem’s, Kanye’s, etc and it effects his mindset towards an album.
Everyone should get off twitter tbh. Deleting my account was the best decision I made in years.
He doesn't give a damn about any fan base, he's as objective as he ever was, it just can never appear that way to glazers who would rather he praise everything their favorite artist does.

Highly disagree with Fantano's take on Eminem being an old man wanting to say bad words just to be cool. That's the whole point. He doesn't have to. He never did. He's highly aware of that. That's why the whole album in my opinion is about how alter egos are stupid and not being afraid to be more honest with yourself instead of catering to others all the time. You might not have that problem but when it comes to our generation we sadly do. Always worrying about not being condemned when trying to please others. To be more accepted and understood. Finding many ways for self-expression without it being offending to everyone else all the time. By the end, Eminem accepts his true self without the Slim Shady persona anymore to finally move on as his normal self and peacefully live his life without anyone's permission. Slim Shady was a test for everyone to see if his harsh words could get to anyone. But the point is, it shouldn't. Only you can make those words to have that much power over you. That's my interpretation anyway. Also, corny? You should really listen back to all the rhyme schemes and technical structures of his songs again. A lot of hidden meanings are easy to miss. Overall, a great nostalgic and most mature work he's done by far in my opinion. A great swan song to a long-respected career. I truly loved it. Thanks! 😊
I get it but still think there's no reason for there to be so many slim songs before GC2. So drawn out and the lyrics are so bad, I get he's intentionally being vulger, why would I listen to any of the first half again?
@@LordPerrin Thats the concept i guess? You rarely find long albums where all songs are top, take any Kendrick album, half songs there clearly didnt make success as the other half, but they dont have to. These songs are there to glue the album as a whole experience
@@LordPerrinif this is the send off to the Slim Shady character then there definitely should have been a couple Slim Shady songs. If you dint like the first half that’s perfectly fine but I enjoyed it, i see reasons to go back and listen it again.
I guess if you're not a fan it's not easy to appreciate the thought and work that went into making this album.
He is literally telling a story.
He clearly understands the concept and explains why he thinks it's lame in the video multiple times 😂 coping
That's an awfully hot coffee pot

One thing I find interesting is how the reference are all outdated when slim shady shows up but when Eminem shows back up the references are more recent. Maybe thats Eminem satirically saying slim shady needs to stay the fuq in 2006.

what part of this album was old em aside from the first minute long track? all i keep seeing is people saying they are happy he’s back but he sounds just like he has for the past decade. are these people even listening to the right album?
Brand new dance? Literally sounds like something in 2004 (because thats when that song was recorded, it was planned for encore but took it off cause Christopher reeves died). He literally mentioned that in guilty conscience 2
Might be the worst critique I've ever seen in my life. Bro didn't even bother thinking about the songs/albums at all, he went into it wanting to despise every song on the album

I can't take anyone who's angry or upset at Fantano here seriously. I'm a huge Eminem fan, I really am. I loved the album and I think it's good. I don't take offense or anger when someone dislikes it and does bring up his points. It's annoying to see most of Em's fanbase go yell at his face that he's ""missing the point"".
The number of ppl here who can't seem to grasp that one can get the concept but still be critical of it and the blunt and predictable way in which it's delivered is... Well... I'm actually not surprised.
These ppl seem to think this concept is brilliant afterall. Lmao.
Same here. Fantano’s reactions are funny to me. And as much as I love em, I have to say fantano makes some valid points here and there.
its wild to me how the people who will yell “youre offended” will genuinely come close to tears if you dislike the music
Happens with every release. If somebody simply doesn't like it, a lot just assume either you don't understand what he's saying or you're hating for the sake of hating.
I genuinely think most people are missing the point, including the defenders. He is all of these controversial things because it keeps him in the conversation. I first heard about Houdini because my gf said TikTok was mad at him again. This keeps him trending and growing, because everybody feels like they need to weigh in.
melonman criticizes an old man for cursing and acting edgy all while laughing and saying "he's so lame, look at him!" at every song like a movie cheerleader squad bully.
True renaissance
Fantano is an overweight, bald, middle aged man that is insanely sensitive. He's the definition of throwing stones while living in a glass house.
Bro what the only song I came to watch fantano react to and it isn’t anywhere here? And they all stop right before that song?

Anthony calling Eminem an edgelord is killing me bc I really liked the album but he’s def not lying 🥲😂
i listened to the album and immediately thought of fantano and how he fits right into the crowd that would hate it lmfao. was a great album
Are we seriously censoring the word "Death", now?
Im sorry but melon already was just completely negative of the album before it even began. Which is ok i guess he can be biased about certain artists because we all are. But at the same time i cant take his reviews on eminem seriously anymore. The only time in this reaction he actually tried to keep an open mind was when he saw jid featured. With that being said this was a good album with a poorly executed concept.
As soon as I heard Em mentioned Caitlin Jenner, Christopher Reeves and Gen Z I knew that melon wouldn’t like it😅
Boohoo
I agree, Mrquibler. I'm a huge Eminem fan and I don't listen to his critiques on Eminem's work since Kamikaze because all he do is just insult the fans that I admit, some of them are rabid, yet at the same time, has the behavior of that of a person just throwing up tables to get a rise out of fans, which, after seeing the first few seconds of this, I checked out.
That said, this album is one of Em's best work. Maybe like around top five, along with his classics and Music to be Murdered By. And the Melon's fans and the chat is literal cancer; huh, guess they've proven Renaissance correct, don't you think?
I don't lose my mind like the irrational fans but the Eminem haters are just, if not, worse. But hey, ever since he gave Sexyy Red, of all people, an 8 on her album, as ratchet and rundown she is, as a person and a musician, I stopped taking his reviews like this seriously. I agree with some of his reviews, disagree on some (looking at you, MBDTF) but this one...just...rubbed me the wrong way...like...seriously?
@@deontenetter9696 personally i didnt like this record more than any of eminems first 7 albums except encore because i really like those albums a lot but this is the best thing hes done in the past 10 years. I usually agree with fantanos opinion on other artists but when it comes to eminem he always just seems to act extra edgy and critical. He gave mmlp2 a 7 on his review but put it in c tier in his eminem album tier list thats how harsh he is on him.
@@Mrquibler_ how was he negative?
“We’re not skipping $hit.” Then doesn’t bother finishing the album. What a great critic. 0:34
I’d give this album a strong 5 - light 6. Better than his past three albums, but it at many times sounds like a 50 year old coming to terms with how to stay relevant while saying edgy things. Literally feels like a “mid-life crisis” album. Also sounds like an old man complaining about gen z and cancelation so much, yet I don’t know of any trying to cancel him. Maybe I’m wrong, idk. The hits off this album are bangers, tho.
Eminem genuinely sounds like he's talking to himself in a mental institution with some of the tracks like Road Rage
I'm so disappointed in this... I thought he was better than this, especially better than being the type to drop the album in the middle of a concept album, what kind of music fan would listen to a concept album and not listen to the full thing through... Is he really that deep into appealing to the clinically online that he completely ignores the unwritten rules of listening to an entire concept album through? He would understand that especially how much of an artform a well crafted concept album is, I know it from his previous reviews and opinions over the years.
Throughout the album he associates Slim Shady with drugs, and how he got addicted to that persona, just like how that era of his life was when he was a drug addict. Habits is all about this idea. Then in Trouble, it was quite literally forced drugs on him to get him in that mind state so Slim Shady can come back, in the song it is described as Slim Shady doing it to him. Evil, Lucifer and Antichrist is the peak Slim Shady with the names of the songs gradually getting to a worse personification of evil, then Fuel and Road Rage is Shady at his absolute worst, like he overdosed on Slim Shady.
Road Rage in particular is the tipping point where it goes too far and it is why it is the track right before Houdini, where Eminem snaps out of it and confronts Slim Shady, like going into rehab. This situation is what he talked about back in Habits with him getting addicted to the persona and pushing it too far, similar to drug addiction. Finally in Guilty Conscious 2, Eminem and Slim Shady argue with each other, Slim Shady makes a point that he wouldn't be where he is today if it weren't for him and that him using him as an excuse to say awful things with no repercussion, again reiterating that he got addicted to Slim like he got addicted to drugs until he pushed it too far and lost control, obviously referencing his overdose. At the end of the song, Eminem "kills" Slim Shady for good, being a clear symbol of the decision to be sober. In that album's "story", it was revealed that every song prior was a nightmare he had where Slim took over his consciousness and said the most horrendous shit in the world, which represents modern Eminem's view on that time of his life.
After that nightmare scenario, he has clairvoyance, like he is sober, he contemplates death by writing a song for Hailie to listen to when he passes in Temporary, he contemplates his career and legacy in Bad One, he passes the figurative torch down to Detroit rappers of younger generations in an attempt to unite generations rather than dividing them in Tobey, and then he contemplates an alternate universe where he never got sober and his life is much worse in Somebody Save Me.
This album proves his critics saying "old Eminem is better" wrong by literally bringing back the old slim shady era of Eminem from the early 2000s completely unfiltered during his peak addiction days, intentionally crossing lines just like his slim persona did back in the day and even being well aware that the shit he is saying will get him in trouble because "old em" didn't give a shit since he was too drugged up to care. He is showing the people who miss that Eminem era how that time was a terrible time in his life which almost killed him.
The album is a look back at his entire career, from drug addiction, overdosing, going into rehab and becoming sober. It is made painfully clear throughout the album that Slim Shady is symbolism for this drug addiction. It kind of reminds me of an alternate version of NIN The Downwards Spiral where he escapes the evil within him and gets better by the end. It is a very heartfelt story about a man being at his absolute worst being able to come out of it alive, able to watch his daughters grow up and be proud of them. It is a story only modern Eminem can tell because it is only he who has had first-hand experience with every topic on the album.
This is how I interpret the album, I could be dead wrong, but I've heard this album 4 times now and that's the conclusion I have made.
amazing take
Wow! I mean thank you!
Perfect
Everything you said is exactly how I interpreted it all as well. Anyone saying that Em is just trying to be shocking or is giving boomer takes for controversy is so hilariously missing the point that they should just leave the musical critiques to others. Anyone who still thinks that way after hearing Guilty Conscience 2 clearly has no understanding of what this album is trying to do.
Fantano howling laughing and his absurd take after hearing Guilty Conscience 2 is honestly just embarrassing, and I usually agree with him on stuff.

Eminem wrote songs about killing his wife and having his daughter help him do it. Why would he think fat bars would be edgier or get cancelled? The real shame is he didn’t do fatphobia or transphobia well this entire album. No one is getting mad at Eminem calling Caitlin Jenner a dude.

he stopped listening at houdini because guilty conscience 2 is legitimately good. so are temporary and somebody save me and he didn't want to film his reaction to the objectively good songs. fantano is a clown
why is death censored
didn't wanna make gen z triggered 😬

@@fantanostreamsmillennials 😴 so out of touch
@@fantanostreams real
for the concept to work that second half of the album needed to be much more fleshed out and that first half more mixed in content and perhaps shorter. There’s no clear storyline or transition. It’s just a block of “oh no Shady is taking over” *spews repetitive controversial content vicariously* followed by Guilty Conscience 2 and what feels like a disjointed epilogue.
As far as concept albums go it’s a dud for me. Kinda sad that this what he came up with after 4 years, makes me wonder when he really started on it.
I’d rank this comfortably lower than even some of his more recent albums. Certainly lower than MTBMB.
LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AGAIN.The storyline is built and expanded on EVERY TRACK.
The concept and the storyline is executed masterfully
How about you explain it then if you even can
Fantano’s body language tells me he’s gonna be secretly playing and enjoying this album and the other guy doesn’t even looks like he even likes Rap all together he’d probably enjoy more punk rock or something else 💪😂🤣👍👍
damn does he not upload past VODs to the twitch channel? i missed the stream and wish i could watch the whole album reaction 😢
You haven't reacted to NOT LIKE US music video.
bro rage quit the stream lol
@WhyDidTheyChooseMe not every song is great but it's overall a good album. Dude is sensitive
@WhyDidTheyChooseMebro gave sexy redd a 6/10 this bald guy doesn’t even review Eminem he simply just doesn’t like him
Eminem is the only rapper my parents let me listen to when I was younger.
Racist Parents 😭😭😭
Where can I find the FULL reaction?!?!?
