    I really like the feature that Eminem has his own "universe"
    Eminem has three poetic personalities that are divided into 3 parts: Eminem, Marshall Mathers, and Slim Shady.
    Eminem - It's his more reflective and poetic side, with more realistic and critical rhymes that make you think. He often describes Eminem as the real rapper side of him, the artist. With Eminem the songs are more serious, there are no jokes, and they are often motivational songs that always seek to inspire the listener to overcome obstacles and never give up.
    Marshall Mathers - It's his more intimate side, an introspective side where he aims to address real feelings about his own life in a more melancholy and less confident way, exposing his mistakes and venting. Marshall Mathers addresses both current and past issues, and puts 100% feeling on paper.
    Slim Shady - It's his alter ego, the more comical, violent, sarcastic and dark side. Slim Shady doesn't give a damn about everything, he says what he wants without caring about the consequences, he's the side that addresses everything that's wrong in the world without fear of shocking the listener, with heavy rhymes that often make us laugh, but through the joke it also serves as reflection, since not everything Slim Shady says is literal, as it has a lot of figurative language that requires interpretation to understand what is being said. Slim Shady has no filter, he brings disgusting things to the role, and as much as he is a character, a lot of people hate Eminem because of Slim Shady. Let's say that Slim Shady is 99% fictional, since some events in Eminem's personal life serve as a basis for him to vent his anger through Slim Shady, often approaching his problems from a different perspective than other personalities.
    And the most surreal thing about it all is that each personality's songs are easy to understand, you listen to a song and you can tell if that song is by Marshall, Shady or Eminem, in addition to the fact that in some songs they quote each other. , especially Shady, the song "Without me" by Shady/Eminem, he mentions Marshall by name at the beginning of the song.
    Eminem is simply a genius

      I've though that a lot, dont hear others say it much though! I totally agree, its something akin to the modern MCU. I have to think his liking of comics had a lot to do with it, even before the cinematic universes of today, comics had their own universes. Everything being linked just adds so much depth to his body of work, and sets it up well for call backs & easter eggs!
      curious though, what do you see as the difference between Em & Marshal? Slim Shady is obviously different, IMO Em and Marshall, not so much.

    • @SwitchTalkChannel
      @SwitchTalkChannel 8 месяцев назад +1

      This is why some people say he's three rappers in one. This is grossly overlooked, coupled with his general musical ability and genius (namely, marketing and otherwise artistic talents). One of the reasons he's so earth-shatteringly popular and praised is because he's three rappers in one. Imagine if you only had 33% of his songs. Sure, that's still enough to be top 10 rappers of all time, and very strong ever since the late-1900s. But it's unclear just how far he would have gone if he merely stuck with Eminem as he tried to about 1995. Silm Shady might be the biggest factor, seriously starting in about 1997 (it's said he took a break to really 'figure' out a way to enter the mainstream rap scene, whilst also forcing people to notice him. This lead to Slim Shady, at once a man who demands respect and yet a man who openly mocks the music industry itself. Genius tactic. Clearly built from the fact that this is just how he felt back in the mid-1990s). Not long after, Marsh was born -- some time into his fame, when he was forced to deal with darker issues and the growing problems within and around him.
      Eminem came first, Slim Shady was vital to his fame, and Marsh aimed to shine a spotlight on that fame. Everybody has an opinion on which is best, or simply their favourite. Personally, I've never taken sides like that. I just look for his best songs. Just checking my memory bank (i.e. my brain), I figure that I like all three personas almost equally since the 1990s. When I was younger, I certainly liked Slim Shady and Eminem the most. Then, I went more towards an admixture of Eminem and Marsh. He seems to run between both extremes most of all, though, if we take Eminem as the central axis (or harmonisation of the two). The Eminem side is naturally harder to craft, so it's a bit rarer than the other two personas. But if I had to pick one, I'd likely take Eminem. Close second would be Marsh, followed by Slim Shady. But, let's make one thing clear: Slim Shady alone cannot be rejected, as it's the backbone of personal attack-style MCing. On top of that, Slim Shady is better than 99% of all rappers, I believe. I simply think both Marsh and Eminem have more emotional depth, musical output, and killer schemes.
      (Although, a fourth might be when he freestyles. This is often close to Slim Shady but rarely the same thing. More like a beast mode version of both Eminem and Slim Shady -- sometimes some Marsh in there, as well, when he needs to self-diss as an actual tactic to crushing his opponents. I seriously like most of his freestyles. They are often very good musically, showing his raw talent and years of real training, and they are shockingly tight and biting from a lyrical standpoint (though most of his freestyles are semi-written or so-called pre-written, though other terms exist, which just means he has some ideas/lines in his head beforehand, but didn't literally write it like he would a normal song, with some of it being 100% invented at that moment).)
      Slim Shady: the mad man with words and/or comedian (more technically, this is often satire).
      Eminem: artist/pure MC (akin to Slim Shady, but often more serious and generally higher quality at all levels).
      Marsh: the 'man' himself, in rap-form (i.e. introspection).
      Just wanted to stress how important and remarkable this is, if you think about it. I'm just happy that I can get any/all of these personas. I don't have to choose. :)
      P.S. I have no idea if his songs are actually split evenly between all three personas, but they must be fairly close (maybe with a bias towards Slim Shady and then Eminem, as my gut is telling me Marsh has fewer songs/raps. Now I think about it, this goes against what I alluded to above, so take this with a grain of salt until we figure it out). 'Not Afraid' is still disgracefully good at every level. I know it's very different, and the fact I heard this when I was about 15-years-old (an important time for music and brain dev, I read). Either way, I still think it's a great song. It was somewhat of a turning point, and was when he really came back stronger than ever (around 2009-2010). By 2013, he was into his more 'modern' or 'current' phase, which I find to be very mixed. I'm a far bigger fan of his 2020-2022 stuff than 2013-2019, for a few reasons. 'Marsh' and 'Alfred's Song', for example, are great. (I know some people have noticed that he uses way too many smilies and metaphors now, and some are too simple -- but he's doing good, and trying to find the right balance, and ensure that the listeners can understand. It's worth keeping in mind that he needs to try and reach people, and many young listeners today are not the smartest spades in the shed, if you see what I mean. He has spoken about this before, and strongly implied that he can write things at least 3x more intelligent and deep and layered, but it's not worth it, as most people would miss it -- and he'd have to then spend the time explaining it. His 'readability', as it were, is generally quite good, I think. I'm no expert, of course, and have only heard about 80% of his stuff. But I've been a big fan since his stuff from the 1990s, ever since I first heard him back in the 2000s, about age 11. Been a serious fan ever since, other than most of his 2013-2019 period, as I said.)
      P.P.S/edit: I'm now uncertain of which is rarer, Eminem or Marsh, and his exact thought process/habits. I first assumed he ran from one extreme to the other (Slim to Marsh), but I'd have to go and actually look at his history to be sure. Sorry if any of this seems wrong to you. We can talk about it later/you can correct me, haha. I guess, that's what happens when you just go by your memory -- sometimes, you get things wrong. Anyway, I'll leave the comment as it stands, regardless.

      "With Eminem the songs are more serious, there are no jokes" - that's not accurate. "Without Me" for example is super humorous and satirical. Both albums The Eminem Show and Encore are also humorous at parts, with funny songs and skits. You could argue that even though the album is titled "The Eminem Show", that "Without Me" is performed by Slim Shady which is represented in the lyrics:
      "'Cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more
      They want Shady, I'm chopped liver
      Well, if you want Shady, this what I'll give ya"
      Still, there are other humorous songs and skits on the same album performed by Eminem as Eminem. While I agree that his different alter Egos have different roles, I don't think it is as clearly defined as you stated. They are still one person and flow into each other.

      Nope! Almost though. He's actually got Slim Shady (his original rap name when he was doing underground and before people reversed My Name Is), and then people heard him say eminem when it was reversed, so people started calling him Eminem. Then he overdosed on some drugs and everyone thought he was dead ( think it was in 2010, sometime around that period) and so he chilled out, and his music wasn't as offensive until the new album that just came out, that's himself, Marshall Mathers.

    Great video Beth! One small comment about this being the first hip-hop song in the mainstream to use comedy... That was happening as far back as the early 1980s with songs like "Rapper's Delight" , "Jam On It", and The Fat Boys. Humor has been a part of hip-hop for a long time. It just got lost a little in the 90s with the proliferation of gangsta rap and more hardcore artists.

    The other thing to remember about this is it was a point in time. Em was a young guy back then. He was living that "f*ck you* attitude that a lot of us did as young adults. Like he said, he was trolling the mainstream entertainment and pop industry the whole time. A giant middle finger to everyone and everything just for the sake of it. The whole idea of saying whatever the hell I want to say and let's just see what I can get away with. It's bravado and attitude and not necessarily to be taken literally, obviously.
    As I've got older, while I recognize it and appreciate it, it doesn't connect with me anymore when the new generation of artists puts this content out. It's not because it was "better in my day" its just that punk music today is for the youth of today. And that's not the mindspace I'm in anymore as an adult. And that's just growing up and maturing. Old Em is nostalgia for me because it takes me back. But I appreciate new Em for what he's doing now as a rapper in his 50's. Crazy to think that we're that old LOL.

    One note on the history: When Jimmy came back and said it needed something lighter to release as a first single, Eminem was so angry that he wrote and recorded another song that ended up on the album ("The Way I Am") as a way of "breathing the fire out of his lungs" as it were. Then once he calmed down, he wrote and made "The Real Slim Shady".

      In this song, Eminem cleverly incorporates the flow of the classic Eric B and Rakim song "As The Rhyme Goes On" to pay tribute to Rakim. The best part is that he does it without being too explicit. (I won't mention the specific line here, but you can check out a particular line from 'I'm Back' and on Rap God to see what he did). The line he pays tribute to on 'I'm Back' is "I take 7 MCs, stand 'em in line, add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme." You can look up the rest of the lyrics to see how he did it.

    Eminem has a "Weird Al" quality to his vocal style, and i do not mean he sounds like Al, i mean versatility between high and low pitched notes, even the comedy styling and timing is similar.
    And no, i'm not implying he was inspired by Al in any way, shape, or form, just saying there are similarities in how they approach their lyrics and vocal stylings.
    Then again, i think Eminem would not mind being compared to Weird Al, because Al is a vocal master and lyrical genius, and so is Eminem.
    Edit* comedic lyrics have been part of rap for a long time, in the 80's you had "Kool Moe Dee", "The Fatboys" and "Digital Underground" who had hilarious songs that kicked hard as well.

    Good old days, when Eminem was a fuckin savage. Sad thing about his career is, the more sorted his private life became, the worse his albums got. Cant deny the fact that the MM LP was his personal peak and everything past that point has been a downhill walk. Still impressive in comparison to the industry standard. But not the razorsharp mindfuckery and social criticism which made him stand out to others of that era. I mean by Marshalls own standards, he literally became what bothers him the most about the current game -> a mumble rapper, prioritizing rhyme technique and flow over the message and carrying it with your emotions.

    1:02 oof man fwiw without having to stay consisten in notebook size or fit into a single notebook meh writing from meh tendencies to babble on.. I find for writing that is my issie is cover or art fwiw by draw or more just doodling of even the one character so far that I have like.. any idea as for how to try drawing.. prolly only so far in even tried drawing in a form that is also not her only form so.. I just now have thought of crap how do zi approach how I wanna go with.. pfft like beyond the title so far I feel good with sticking with the title The quest or if anuthing the Quests of the Oddyseer or something like it.. idk just.. something like a Journey or travels etc.. idk but yeah so fwiw I also can not even fathom how tf I am gonna pul off THAT unless fwiw,, ig hopefullu it will look ok imo after or later on., if I solely inclide the one form of the particular character.. persued/chased iirc it is the definition of what could maybe considered a protagonist... idk fwiw but yeah.. ftw I guess I will forego having inclusion of any lile peeps vs animak form of the character. Hell idk if I even wanna include like some othere characters that have multiple forms as well.. as far as being in non human species same perosn but different mental status forms etc.. idk meaning like as in being in a coma/unconscious or consciois etc or having a seizure etc.. from what I recall from a friend that kind of a 6th grade? Iirc idk but fwiw sort of tried explaining the concept to me. But yeah I definetly will need to do a lot more refined of na approach with the stuff like if even includong that or other details vs merely phases or whatever like a funk.. or idk what to call if fwiw as not to refference any actual currently known condition much less of a thing that like because fwiw I want it to feel like it is narrating my imaginaru adventurevor adventures if zi were to go travel letalone ne able to do so with time travels involved in particular. For imho a journey that turns out to be seemingly feeling like a fantasy world destiny etc :D an turns at least on of rhe other characters intova better.. well betters themselves and by beng inspired to like letalone themsekves beileve that they can.. not to say that the amusement of somebody stating they beileve in them etc and like.. basically dragging eachother in various ways metaphorically and sometimes laybe literally.. hmm idk maybe lmao id hsve to add that in msybe. Somehow. But first of all it would start out by not only ackwardly stumbling out of the gets if anything prolly similar to how the iirc movies titled Alice in wonderland.. begin with a character being intrigued by some critter and have the irresistable urge to like try to chase after to see what or idk why but fwiw end up being kind of a stowaway by not by the will or innitally desired to be noticed presence of critter that said critter being merely on her way... pfft idk still where but fwiw ig tynna go to either to or fro.. a place of residence and that being where she stows the artifacts/mostly non tangible fwiw for sake of compact living ease and obviously for irl itd be for lack of convient practically deasible for just casially toting around regardless of what point in time.. and also as not to for in the story she later explains to the "chaser" character.. idk if I would use mehself and have it be first person sor by figuring out, how to do like proper 3rd person and then have the question of what is the chaser character then.. but yeah.. and anyhow she the critter not the chaser.. explains to the chaser at some point in the first book.. if it is even worth it to have any more to add or enough to DO more books fwiw.. then sometime in rhe series after she opens up etc fwiw more lsightly she reveals that it is kind of the obviously you can not do xyz lest screw up the future/present by diddling up/altering xyz or being caught in the given historical scenarios/or fpactual historical events by fwiw either the persons of thsoe events that zi can fidn info on about in research fwiwvsn reading of course or fwiw idk.. but like say not being either taken as a pow (both either or the Chaser/Critter lady hybrid partial sometimes meaning not cut and fast sometiems based on idk fwiw ig if shes feeling safe or on gaurd etc for like.. the unreally main characters but just historical peeps or pedestrians that are even ones that notice for a given period of time idk if it be changed for making tje story work better or fairly differntly be like more of a ocnsistent thing of can the chaser/critter be seen ir jeard or either way is it safe to be known of by the xyz without being assainated for being ghosts/demons or lik witches or taken for soem kind of idk wtf could jappen maube even an asylum if just seems like the critter and or at least chaser are crazy of a couple of loons or if they even worse are by far taken to a gov test or expierimentation whatever imaginary horror/awful conception of an idea ig could be fathomed..or fairly safely but in other wau screw up again the future like by mentioning cuktures and anachronitic tech of the present or later than a given part of the stories adventure current most adventures or dates/era or events set or ptime of happening by however mucj tiem before irl nowdaus present, .. etc. regarding the past etc, an so then it becomes fwiw a adventure of mini adventures for finding info on account of curiosity or research of history etc.. idk fwiw but by far interests me and I thus idk fwiw maybe, continue to find, by tagging along, for the time travels ftw if so imho.., because fwiw it makes me become more lnowleadgeable or feel like I can be aware of more than the little crumbs *imo K donot know much* but fwiw thats how I see myself but anyways lil bits of of of whatever I already knew existed. And expands the mind and brain etc.
    Also given via her the critter gives me or reveals how fucking awful some parts of history really were or are etc.. of concepts or events that happened etc. Even makes me feel more aware of or tjink of how mucj do I take good care of mehself etc.. or how I am prepping for the chaser/antagonist?s ability to inflict or impact or jave any reaistic reason for even bothering to try and change/becoem a successful persn at whatever xyz.. vs fwiw peers and past peeps fwiw of various points in time saying of being hopeless or highly doubted etc, future etc. And all sorts of things later on that the story basically unfolds fwiw. And damn I say fwiw to much rip legit.

    When listening to Em, start to tap in the rhythm he is rapping. It has VERY intricate patterns, loads of polyrhythms, syncopation... it is rhythmically very complicated. Then listen to current rap. Tatatatatatatatatatatata. There is a drastic difference, and serious dumbing down.
