Came across this crazy theory but apparently the album is to be played in reverse with “Marshall” actually being the one to die & Slim taking over fully.. I played it that way & storywise, shyt definitely checks out & the whole vibe of the album is different. The skits makes way more sense as well. From “Somebody Save Me” to “Head Honcho” is mainly “Em” but he senses Slim’s presence.. makes sense cuz in the “Tobey” video Shady actually does kill Marshall lol.. Shady’s persona starts to take over from “GC2” with “Renaissance” being the full rebirth of Shady.. after burying “Marshall” Shady spits on his grave & it’s no coincidence he sounds like vintage Shady again on that record.. take from that what you do
shyt checks out for me & it sounds much better being played that way truthfully speaking.. he did say it was a concept album & if played out of order, it wouldn’t make sense.
