Trouble is literally better as a 40 second joke track than both Renaissance and Habits and gets the message across a lot better. Brand New Dance is… I don’t even know yet. We’re still talking Christopher Reeves? Like I get that shit is bread and butter for “Slim” but why are we referencing a dude thats been dead for literally 20 years?

Are the ess jay dubs really on Eminem’s ass that much? Why is he constantly bitching about PC shit?
I feel like nobody gives a fuck, him complaining about it so much is the annoying part
oh okay Guilty Conscience 2 has it making a lot more sense. Idk this shit is still mid

I have not seen anyone go after Em for his lyrics in, like, well over a decade with the exception of his BET freestyle when he came out against Trump.
It seems to me, like he is basically shadowboxing all the criticism that he received during his heyday, which just makes it eyerolling and tired. Like, yeah, he's saying a lot of problematic stuff here that I do take umbrage with, but I have a much bigger issue with just the total absence of artistry or vision in his lyrics. Huge difference in Kendrick using the f-slur and Eminem calling Tyler the Creator the f-slur.

Yeah very fucking lame then. And the people going after him for the trump shit were absolutely not pc types, just right wingers and people that thought it was mid.
Truthfully I’ll probably never listen to this again but it’s not as offensively bad as Revival. There’s some decent beats here too.

"Are the ess jay dubs really on Eminem’s ass that much? Why is he constantly bitching about PC shit?"
i've honestly barely paid attention to eminem since revival so maybe that's just his thing now and i missed it but i very much took all this as stuff slim shady / early 2000s eminem would def say about 2024 and the redundancy of it all is him attempting to show why the persona is a relic of the past that he'd rightfully left behind up until now. he'd just be beating a dead horse. he literally is beating a dead horse for much of the album.
idk how well this translates into actual good songs but i did not at all think any of that stuff was meant to be taken at purely face value. maybe i'm giving him more credit than he deserves but this thing feels to me like him finally and very backhandedly giving the "i miss the OLD eminem" fans what they've been asking for 15+ years

"I haven’t liked EM in decades but guaranteed this is better than whatever metalcore/prog rock garbage you’re repping these days"
I dont listen to either of those genres. Nice try I guess.

His crying about ppl not liking his music almost every song on every album nowdays is getting really old. If it's not corny bars/mediocre beats it's him complaining about ppl calling his music trash almost every verse. It's cringe. That alone makes me drop my rating I get tired of hearing it the more I jam it lol

For Kamikaze I gave it a pass. Em got ripped apart like he never had been before but that’s what you get when you half ass a record that hard. But I understood why he felt the way that he did.
Then Music to be Murdered By and it’s b sides came out and it was just more mid shit. And then this smh. Post Eminem show the only records worth a shit are the Bad Meets Evil one, MMLP2, and Kamikaze. Everything else can fuck off aside from a couple of tracks here and there. Darkness and Godzilla are still great tracks tbh

Agreed yeah. What's even worse is the beats on here and his verses are slightly better than his last few albums. But his constant need to continue to complain about ppl calling his music mid is somehow even more apparent on here lol. Like why are you still rapping about this ?? Move on it's cringe

I guess that it`s an unpopular opinion to say that I really like this album, but whatever. It`s Eminem's strongest album conceptually since MMLP2 in 2013. It`s been fun and interesting listening to Slim Shady revive his alter ego and review his flows from the different albums, especially Encore and Relapse. The skits integrated into the songs made the album more cohesive and easy to follow. Unlike his previous three albums, which had great highlights and horrendous lows, the production is flawless and makes it feel like he actually took the time to go back to the old days and try to keep up with the present, just like he did on MMPL2.
I know. A lot of people are going to be mad at the transfobic and Gen-Z mocking comments, but I suppose that's the idea: get everyone pissed off just like he did when the original Slim Shady was released. The album was a couple very interesting follow-ups with Brand New Dance and Guilty Conscience 2. Also, Em`s performance on "Fuel," rapping fast and showing his lyrical and technical abilities without going overboard as he has done previously, shows his artistic maturity and his ability to correct some past mistakes despite his stubbornness.
Tracks like "Temporary" and "Somebody Save Me" It serves as a reminder that behind the controversy, the alter ego, and the parodies of Ken Kenniff, there is the human being, the father, the ex-addict and surviving abuse at the hands of his mother, who tries to find his place in the world and his inner peace despite all the commercial success.
P.D: A lot of users scored this album 0 within minutes of being released. It's so sad how this community has become, but I guess that's the world and society in which we live right now. If you don't go with the flow, expect them to attack you.
It's a shame that when my generation hears opinions contrary to what they want to hear, they lose objectivity.

Difference is Em’s (or slim’s) bars back in the day were a lot funnier than the edgy “u offended bitch?” shit he’s leaning hard into on this record. Like, find a single song here that is as funny or on the same level of storytelling as As the World Turns. Or literally almost every track on the Slim Shady LP.
Those were offensive but they were funny. This shit is just being a hack writer disguised by fun beats and a good flow.

Haha, I wish it wasn't.

Agree. Makes also sense that these come at the end, after he defeated his alter ego and can be himself again.
