It’s his decision if he lets him go. Shady has been back before this anyway. He’s been back since he released not alike.

Love the effect on Jelly Roll's vocals in the end. It's as if Eminem is in the grave and he's singing above him and there's this layer of earth between them that changes the sound or maybe how it would sound from inside the casket. Just like when someone's playing music loud inside of a closed car. It's details like this that show the artistry and thought that's put into it.

This DEFINITELY picks up where his falling in the bathroom from his methadone overdose in 2007. This is a very hard hitting song. One of my friends from high school died from an overdose shortly after graduating. That was 35 years ago. His name is Robert "Rob" Huber. R.I.P. Bob. And all those who have died from an overdose. And, Hailie just got married a couple of months ago. And, he walked her down the aisle and had the first dance with her. The reverse theory is fact and we will see it happen soon when Em releases Shady for the last time. My thoughts are it will be an all Shady album. I think on December 10th. If you paid attention to the 855 phone number, now inactive, the 313 was for Detroit and the 5746 I believe is coded as if you add 5 and 7 you get 12 and 4 and 6 is obviously 10. Plus it's a Tuesday which is another album release day during the week. Unless he goes with Friday, December 13th instead. Plus, the 1st overseas concert in Bahrain is on 12-10-24. There is that 12-10 again. But, I could be HELLA reaching on my theory. So........

@@nofame688 yeah, pretty sure this was during his sleeping pill addiction.

[@blaze3fire]

Yay! I'm excited for today's breakdowns & thank you for all you've done already and for sharing some of your experiences.

[@MrJeskee]

He's singing as if he didn't get clean and he died

[@Taylnas]

Listen to the Album in reverse and you will understand

[@Toothless4life]

Yes. That's the point. He feels bad he put drugs before his kids and he's imagining the what ifs now that he's made it and it's been years. His daughters have accomplished so much it's hard not to think about how you almost died and could've missed it

[@keepingitrealawesome]

I remember the first time I heard this song I teared up and cried just hearing this song and life is so short we need to cherish the moments with our loved ones 🥺🙏🏻

[@lucasromerova6150]

I think Marshal was serious when he said he was sorry he didn't choose them over the pills because he didn't stop IRL because of them but because he was literally close to death and if he didn't stop he would die in that pattern.

[@culchiefilms1791]

The reason he stopped was because he didn't want to die yes, but the reason he didn't want to die was his daughters. So no, in the end he chose his daughters over the pills

[@dwhike]

Thank you for what you do Knox. This is a message that needs to be heard.

[@derekmartin5340]

Here's a reading I think is very interesting: this song could be about Shady, not Marshall. Hence, "The Death of Slim Shady" When Em got sober, Shady "died" -- whether he's still here as a 'spirit' or not. Shady didn't get to "live" past ~2008, he didn't get to see the kids grow up, he didn't get to see Hailie's podcast or marriage... but Marshall did. We know he was there for all of that (well, Hailie doesn't have a child yet, but that's besides the point) That's why it sounds like Arose, but without the optimistic message of "I'll get out of this mess, and be there for all of you. Trust me." Shady doesn't have another shot, he has to go back in the grave and accept defeat. "He's a lost cause" as Jelly Roll's outro goes. It can also be read as if Eminem did physically die in '07, but I think this is a fun and fitting version.

[@steveABCDEFG]

This is what I was feeling too. Like this is from Slim’s perspective being dead.

[@Ookami31]

That's what I was thinking, too!

[@LostKokoBeau87]

​@@steveABCDEFG Absolutely!!

[@Hablonoenlgles]

Love your ability to convey your emotions and to not care what people think. You’re awesome dude I hope you and your family are doing well 🙏🏽

[@Montweezy]

Hailey got married and Em walked her down the aisle he just didn't during her guitar recital.

[@amirul96_a60]

Knox, hope you'll do the bonus tracks too 👌🏼

[@aaronpodskoc5970]

The little NF nod was wholesome and unexpected

[@thinwalrus]

i love you for the message at the end, thank you

[@OmenLW]

Is this Eminem apologizing for not being there for these occasions because it was Slim who was there the whole time or vice versa? Because he was definitely there physically for a lot of the moments mentioned, but maybe as one of the other of his 2 personalities. Hmmmm

[@yotatapotata8191]

👀 Bruh

[@jessedavis1741]

That’s exactly what it is IMO

[@culchiefilms1791]

No. Its an alternate reality like he said in the 3rd verse

[@EDub513]

I almost wonder if he wrote this before he overdosed... and then went back and added in some lines for this album, post addiction and recovery.

[@realtaynali]

No, the third verse clearly shows he was talking about alternate reality..

[@Samthunder2030]

Eminem has given us the greatest songs and moments glad to be part of it❤❤🥺

[@darlinesly9364]

Thank you Knox! You are absolutely the best at breaking down the tracks!

[@misguidedangel9183]

Eminem is speaking from inside a casket. That’s why jelly’s voice is distorted, it’s how em would hear it.

[@oisinmccaughna4198]

@KnoxHill

[@metaliris6404]

Damn, reading that just made the song almost feel deeper

[@thomasdein3299]

Yes, it's Jelly Rolls chorus at the end. I noticed that right away, and I love how they did that!

[@HipHop-vg7cd]

I completely missed that one! 🤯🤪😆 I thought about it in the beginning of the song, thinking it was because he was drugged up when talking to Alaina but I blanked toward the end. I was probably in my emotions bc of the story telling from Em 😢 He doesn't miss a Thing! 🐐👽

[@metaliris6404]

@thomasdein3299 wish I had the ability to pick up on these things lol good catch!
