Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady Official Thread

[Left.A1]

I love it lol

For one, like all of Em’s singles in this style, the visuals help make the song. I was smiling watching the vid, sounds like he’s really considering what “the old him” would say rather than lashing out at people who miss that vibe.

For two, anybody clamoring for old Eminem can’t negate how much these types of singles played a part in that legendary run, this is a GOOD sign.

You know when the last time we got one of these? Relapse with “we made you” and that is my favorite Em album to listen to.

Even that song in particular was dope along with the visuals and played well with the them (females made Em a star despite how bad he does then in his music)

I have a feeling this will be his best project since Relapse.

That’s funny I was just listening to relapse randomly on a road trip last week and I still can’t understand why that album got hated on so much. I get it about the “accents” but the beats and rhymes and themes were classic Em….its a good album

Link? Breh it’s 2024, if you don’t have SOME type of streaming service wtf is wrong with you. This is Eminem, it’s going to be plastered all over everything and super easy to search for on any DSP.

It’s a music video breh

if you listen to this without the video, it's wack. It's less wack when you watch the video. Not sure why Em needs to rap at 120mph all the time. I can barely understand what he's saying, even if it's clever in retrospect.

Not feeling the single

He needs to go Jay and Nas route and drop some mature album with slower flow

but kamikaze was well recieved so...idk wtf he's doing here. and listen to that If I get locked up track that just got posted. Thats the eminem that we will never get back. that has been forgotten...that nobody could say shyt about.

Was Kamikaze really that well received? I remember people giving it props mainly because he wasn't doing any dumb stuff (accents, weird beats, cringe features) to sabotage the album more than the actual music.

It's recycled "without me" vibes with less energy and originality. Cornier word play, which has plagued him in the past decade or so.

It's not terrible, but not good either.

 

[HoldThisL]

This shyt would have been fire in 2003

Update- A few hours have passed and it seems like people are enjoying this track because of nostalgia and the video to match. I don't like it personally but it's a W for Em .

Hopefully the album in itself is actually good.

Absolute garbage

Scaring the hoes music

Nah but for real this is disappointing I thought Em was gonna be spittin on this. I saw Alchemist in the video hopefully we’ll get a few joints from him on the album but this is an awful way to begin the roll out

That curtain call ass cover and the goofy beat snippit really did tell us what we needed to know. It's crazy how brehs are in this thread on some "its fun!" vibe. I don't know man, maybe this millenial is larry holmes status but I think this shyt is beneath him at this point, and hoping the rest of the album aint nowhere near as silly.

 

[HNIC973]

this shyt is

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

Can't forget this absolute BANGER of a classic from Eminem. The GOAT

 

[H.J.Duck]

Harmless fun song, obviously not gonna be an all time classic single.

Low-key it is kinda cool that hip hop has been around long enough that older artists (not just Em) can use nostalgia as an angle now


As a huge fan of stand up comedy, seeing Shane Gillis fake podcasting in an Eminem music video next to Royce & Mr. Porter is crazy
