This song is trash, it's just a reach at trying to be iconic. It will be hype the stand for years to come, and in 10 years the world will have to understand how much nonsense this song is, it doesn't saying anything, mostly comedy rap like the rest of his rap music.

When leftists were allowed to be edgy at anyone's expense. World has flipped. I blame it on social media. I'm still a lefty though because I believe in social programs. Wouldn't be where I'm at today without some help. Grew up in the projects. Leftists are also still the most anti-war but sad thing is the democrat politicians are still pro unnecessary wars. Same with Republicans. All do the bidding for who donates the most to their party and not the people, it doesn't matter the party in that case. Sh*t sucks how controlled the government is by their richest donors. 🙃

[@flaredragoon8922]

Could be going after the ones he considers fake artists that only leech off of the success of others (eg. artists that tried to diss em an lost like MGK), prior groups, or offer very little to the rap community(his constant ripping on benzino for his magazine and Charlemagne for his criticism about em's contributions to rap.)

[@pin-upmariposa412]

Lot of Steve Miller band samples. In first listen, I was sure that whole song was created from Abracadabra samples and added Em bars.

[@ilaril]

When they become one on the roof, there's even the comic text "they created a monster!" The "Without Me" starts with "I've created a monster 'cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more, I'm chopped liver.". I love Em. I love the throwback to my young adulthood.

Eminem is one of the few artists I could listen to for 25 years and still want more.

[@lachousalle31]

Jay Chou is another musician that has that effect on people. He's a composer/singer/rapper from Taiwan who made his first album in 2000 and is still going strong 24 years later. You should definitely check out his albums. He's got 15 albums now and he's composed every song he's released. A song I would recommend as an introduction to his style would be "Wounds Of War". It has a dark melody with classical piano, fast rapping, and haunting R&B vocals. He's a musical genius. He's not an amazing lyricist like Eminem but he's an amazing composer. So I guess he could be more compared to Dr. Dre. But his flows are amazing like Em's. His songs are in Mandarin but the translations are easy to find online.

Bc he been censoring himself for today's society, this song he's going all out no censorship

[@joshmac5715]

Em's been in a darker place for a good while and that makes different kinds of content than early Eminem. Artists are humans too, and go through stages, something people tend to forget. I wasn't as big a fan of songs like 3AM as I was ones like Lose It or Till I Collapse, but it was still Em and he did have good ones during this time. It's good to see him back to having fun with projects, cause that's when humans are (usually) at their best, free and not being weighed down. Even more so because it seems like he's shouting out the people that have rocked with him since he hit it big

[@FunkyLittlePoptart]

In the end of the song "When I'm Gone", Eminem says "grab the gun on the ground, cock it, put it to my brain, scream 'Die shady' and pop it." That's Shady's death. Which would mean the title is specifically a reference to the many times Houdini was reported to have died in one of his performances, and the fact that the magician was not in fact dead.

[@senorsnout4417]

Ya know...Now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the theme of The Death of Slim Shady. How he's matured, gotten sober, and stopped being so insensitive since his younger days, but now it seems like no matter what he does, people dismiss his modern stuff and say he's not as good as his old Slim Shady era material, while also making it clear that his old offensive stuff just wouldn't fly these days. So it might very well be about the conflict between the modern, grown up Eminem and the more immature and deliberately provocative Slim Shady, and him trying to make some kind of peace with it.

Knox catching the Steve Miller Band sample is why he’s the GOAT. Edit: Instead of replying to everyone, I’m just going to point out that not everyone shares your lived experience. Congratulations on recognizing it, you’re old. Not everyone is. Edit 2: Because some of you aren’t firing on all cylinders; I knew where the sample came from. Before Knox, I watched 3 other reactions that didn’t mention it. Since the band is special to me, I was waiting for a reactor to point it out, which Knox did. Therefore, I praised him. I don’t care if YOU got it, I’m not watching your videos. I don’t care if some other reactors pointed it out, I haven’t seen anyone else mention it.

Can't really blame scru if he didn't like the song thou.. A lot of people have mixed feelings What's cool thou is that it's as if Eminem made this song for all the people who adored his parody side. This doesn't seem like it's meant for the hip hop community or to change opinions or to recruit new fans.. He's just making his comedy skit, having fun and reminiscing with his old fans.. He got 40 year olds feeling like kids again. It's beautiful to see
