This album is a line in the sand. The rapping is so technical and enjoyable especially in the Nursery Rhyme Rap Era that we are in that I view any review without first acknowledging the high level of rapping as a tell that someone really doesn't like nor appreciate rap. The complexity of the subject matter and the fact that few people get it reveals comprehension skills or lack thereof.

I think people are missing the concept of this album. Eminem ( or slim shady) had always been politically involved and incorrect, it has always been his biggest criticism even early in his career (e.g. his song "White America) That's essentially what he's doing here. His alter ego keeps wanting to be politically incorrect and offensive. It's why the first half of the album talks about that stuff a lot up, the 2 egos fighting for the same body, until Guilty Conscience 2 where Marshall kills Slim Shady. Guilty Conscience 2 is, as I see it, when Eminem finally takes control and gets rid of Slim. Listen to the song, it explains itself. It explains why he mends all his beefs with everyone. Notice after that song, we get a more reserved, chill, less offensive Eminem and the momentum of the album kinda starts falling off, it's Em finding inner peace and relaxing. Without this context, it just sounds like a lot of rage baiting to get relevance and attention, but with this context, hearing all those overly mentioned politically incorrect stuff makes sense, cz it's the Slim Shady of old doing what made him infamous in the first place. Up until Marshall puts Slim Shady to death (the name of the album)

He's not trying to be cunning, its the death of slimshady, by satirizing it.... and the insistence that he do old shit. ts just not enjoyable, but hes mocking the stans here. Its played out, isnt going to get him cancelled, because its so contrived and hes forcing it.Thats why houdini has Eminem and slimshady combined. He is 50 and isnt the same man, you get a forced cringe combination of both. The first song is AI voice filtered with old rhyme schemes that pulls them in. Then degenerates into a muddled combination with reheated concepts. Its not Slimshady vs Eminem.... its mocking that too. Its a giant parody of everything. Including those who misread political orientation.

feels like you miss the point of Slim Shady. Em isn't exactly coy about using him as a shield and the whole album is him wrestling with that. and i have no idea where you're coming from with this "the original Slim Shady wasn't trying to be offensive ," my man, have you listened to Kill You? Insane? Shady being over the top to the point of being satirical is not a new thing lol

@@Top5Troy neither of those songs were the ones i mentioned, brother. i seriously don't know what to tell you if you can listen to "Kill You" and tell me that's not Shady being offensive for the sake of being offensive, or that it's not over the top intentionally. we're talking about a dude whose breakthrough to mainstream was saying "Hi kids! Do you like violence? Wanna see me shove 9 inch nails through each one of my eyelids?" and this "wow he's just being shocking and doesn't mean what he says in 2024" take feels a little crazy and seems like a lot of other talk that i see from young dudes who don't get the history of Em. no prob, have enjoyed your other content so far

I don't think the album is supposed to be serious or satire. It is his way of pointing out how bad Slim Shady was and how he would fair in this time. I listened to it 4 times to figure that out. His tone changes towards the end of the album and he alludes to the fact that Slim Shady has been dead. He has said on multiple occaisians that he does not want to rap like this again and he is showing how Slim does not fit anymore. I do appreciate your POV it is good to see an objective view. I am a huge EM fan though.

It's funny because most content creators tend to appeal to fanbases, as people love content that reassures their biases. So they put a positive spin on everything. I like that Troy states his opinion even when it goes against the wind. Not Like Us video too artsy, Em's new album has these problems with it. I definitely support this!

The whole point of the album is doing slimshady at 50 today just ends up being cringe, not offensive.

12:06 Did you miss the fact it was aimed at Diddy? Maybe that's why it didn't land? Idk. I do agree with what you said about Candace v Eminem, that however is the point. To offend everyone, not just one group (Left or Right). Eminem has publicly attacked Trump multiple times, so we know where he stands politically, that doesn't mean he supports woke culture. Not everyone thinks or holds the same opinions. Also worth considering that free speech used to be a liberal flag, and that Eminem was targeted multiple times by PC conservatives in the early 2000s. It's not until recent times that woke culture reversed that, and now conservatives are the ones carrying that flag. Funny enough your critique is that Eminem's commentary is not serious or rather it's satire and he's actually afraid of cancel culture so he's really holding back to not offend certain groups. Then you said that's why his jokes and shock value comments don't land as it used to. Which is ironic because when it came to Candace it definitely had an effect on you since you made the comment of Eminem trying to be "an arbiter of blackness". I think that proves that sensitivity varies depending on if you belong to that group or you don't 🤷🏽♂ Btw I've been watching your vids recently - from covering Kendrick vs. Drake - and tbh I enjoy your content. Hope your channel keeps growing 👍🏽

@Top5Troy Candace started shit with him, it wasn't meant for shock value. He was shooting back. Do your research my dude. I like your channel, but you need to break shit down better than the majority of your audience will if you want to grow. You gotta be ready to be dissected if you want to be at the top on the path you're taking. Critical breakdowns attract ppl that think that same way, you gotta be ahead of your audience if you want to stand out. Just some feedback my guy
