Eminem's new album - The Death Of Slim Shady
 
Listened to it all today, will have to listen more. Not sure what songs i like yet, but i thought it was decent. He doesn't hold back either. Gen Z are pretty well hit, as is the current sensitive state. People will try and cancel him for some of the lyrics of course, but not like it will bother him.

Omg I'm so excited. I love Eminem, he's such a talent and my favorite rapper.
Favorite album is The Marshal Mathers LP. Favorite song is Lose Yourself :flutter:

Definitely back to his old style.

He really doesn't care. He says what he thinks and I love him for it :joker:

I have the Marshall Mathers LP and it's my favorite album of his. And of course I love 8 Mile.

Vanessa 13-07-2024 04:21 PM

I was listening to his old stuff and that's brilliant as well. Love all the collaborations with Dr Dre.

Antichrist is particularly savage. Pure old Slim Shady. Love it ngl.

Somebody Save Me had me in tears, so relatable. I was a literal wreck listening to that one a few times :laugh:

Swan 14-07-2024 03:59 PM

Had a look at some of the reviews, knowing exactly what to expect tbh. His genius can't be denied, but it's "old" "irrelevant" "misguided" "ok but not original" "cheap" "maybe time to hang up the mic"

Nah, it's great, top 5 Em album for sure. It's akin to a modern day South Park episode imo. Just says out loud the ridiculous state of the modern world, while sympathising, and looking for a way forward wondering if there's a chance we can all just get along and see the humour in life. And looking for solidarity.

So many highlights in the album, listened 4 times all the way through now. Well worth it. And yeah the old Slim Shady really is back in this one, brilliant stuff!

He won't care about reviews. He says what he thinks and I love it!

Yeah agreed. Refreshing tbh. No need for him to tip toe around, he's mega rich, popular and gives 0 fcuks.

He even slagged off his kids on the Houdini video. I can't think anyone else who would do that and get away with it :joker:

Yep, obviously it was tongue in cheek, but still great humour. He's certainly one of a kind :joker:

I've listened to Houdini like 100 times since he dropped it :dance:

Have you listened to his new album? It's offensive yes, but absolutely true and spot on. Everyone gets it, though he does stay away from religion :joker:

It's well worth it.

I’m loving it so far… made me laugh a few times too

I love him so much! It's refreshing to have someone who speaks his mind and just doesn't care :laugh:

Someone with a massive platform claiming they are being cancelled, not a tired trope at all.

Is it racist that the most successful hip-hop (rap) artist of all time is a White man?

Unfortunately, the people that like how ridiculous the current world is will take issue with what Eminem is doing.

It's a murky one imo.

Did Eminem find it easier to make it mainstream with white Music fans because he is white? My answer is yes.

However do some black Music fans that like Rap Music dismiss Eminem because he happens to be white? I would say yes.

Do I personally think that Eminem is one of the best Rappers? I would say yes.
