The "Problem" with The Death of Slim Shady

Listening to Eminem's latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), was among one of the more disappointing and mediocre listening experiences this year.

You know there's a thing called "estrogen" right?
For context, I've made this comment after only reading the title
Dont be dissing suits.
when i was growing up in the 80's gender was used as an alternative word for biological sex which in tern by its very nature is binary hell trans gender wasn't a thing until after some of the very first transition surgeries in England in the late 80s and the idea of it was barely thought about or discussed in media or public until after the 90s. and in the 2010s it started to really flair out socially which was around the same time as i traveled all over the us i started seeing people talk about gender as an identity and not a faster way to say ones biological sex. it kept up and eventually segwayed into the dumb assed gender identity crap and especially the identity politics that has some people frothing at the mouth if you don't agree, use the old understanding of it or just out right don't care one way or the other. i personally am alot happier not thinking about it or talking about it. you tell me you want to be called it, he, she, they, or even a on horned one eyed flying purple peaple eater and i'll endeavor to respect that but at the end of the day i don't care.
I too hate being a Male, because as for everyone the most common thing is the deep depression of most men who committed suicide due to just ending it all when times are hard to be difficult. What's difficult is getting to the times nowadays when ya growing up, ya gotta lock in, and even if some people mock your presence...Man, strive for a future.🌹 *(It goes for everyone, but hope you guys are doing okay)*
I really liked Walk on Water, a felt it was going to lead to a more reflective Eminem. Sad that he basically reverted to his old ways afterwards. My hope is that whatever comes after this album is something new and raw.
Very well put, and interesting to see how you got to the non-binary place.
I definitely feel this video. No-one quite hates Spider-Man like Spider-Man fans. But I've managed to find small communities online, people who share a more nuanced approach to liking something, and those are invaluable to me when it comes to things that I'm a fan of.
I feel that, man. I literally got no sleep, I binged the entire manga in one night; and I've been re-reading it ever since. I don't want to say it's perfect, but it's damn near it. It feels - alive in a way, with all the genres it touches on and how human the characters feel, ESPECIALLY the yokai. absolute masterclass. I want a time machine so I can have the rest of it NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW.
I wouldn't go and "change my gender" all because of some low life Individuals who think that all men are fascists. That's dumb.
it's because men actually have some societal use aside from their looks, as opposed to women.
That bit where the friends all go to the convenience store together was so beautiful and I'm grateful it was included. Those were some favorite moments in my own adolescence- hanging out with big, loud, messy groups of my peers. Jocks and "rejects" and class clowns and fashion girlies alike. Loved seeing Ken get moments of connection like that after yearning for friendship so intensely at the start of the series. 😢❤ Came for fights with demons and aliens, but stayed for the drama of teenage emotion. Such a great series.
Ditto to all this.
Picked up the manga after a mangatuber recommended it and managed to sell me on Gachiakuta, earlier. And well, I really enjoyed Gachiakuta, so of course I was gonna check out Dandadan. I honestly don't know which manga has better art. Both Dandadan and Gachiakuta have incredible detail in their art. I guess you could say Dandadan's art is a lot cleaner. Gachiakuta tends to have very messy and sketchy looking art. Before that youtube video, I was on the fence about whether or not I should read Dandadan. I have the mangaplus app and saw it on there, I saw that it was getting weekly updates. I just didn't know enough about it and the thumbnail wasn't really grabbing me. Then I see this video of this mangatuber absolutely gushing about it. Without any spoilers, he managed to articulate what is so great about the series. How even though the events that happen and the plot are pure chaos and insanity, the story revolves around its characters. Similar to how Chainsawman operates. That's how you can tell a compelling story even when the narrative spirals off into crazytown (end of Chainsawman part 1 comes to mind) I've been reading the manga for years now, I even got my hubby to read it after begging him to check it out for months. We were both absolutely thrilled when the official anime announcement happened. (There had been quite a few fake ones before that so it was a relief to finally have the real, official tweet) The anime is a god damn masterpiece. Every episode manages to improve on the source material in some way, it really was a treat. I feel you on the nostalgia of going back into the early arcs when we barely had much of a cast. When the scale and stakes were so low. What made me taken aback was how I'd forgotten that alot of these characters that I love, dearly, were introduced as antagonists. I was like "oooooh yeah, I completely forgot you're supposed to hate Aira, here." Looks like Gachiakuta is getting an anime. Definitely check that out when you get the chance. It's also a master class in world building, crafting a unique power system, writing good characters, and having insanely good art week to week.
After just watching that battle, I was mentally exhausted. Seeing those two in the hallway, locked in an embrace, was such a relief. Knowing they had won that round and needing a second to breathe it all in... ...I was there... ....I felt that relief and... ...while I wasn't naked in front of my high school classmates, the feeling that I had afterwards, of wanting to share this one scene with everyone, felt like a white hot element burning in my heart. I fully understand why you had to make this video after that scene and why the conversation is so Ding Dang DanDaDiddly difficult to have around others. (Liked and subscribed! Great video, my good man!)
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼
Men are awesome, but made to be kinda boring in the media
“There are only two genders.” Seems about right.
There are only two sexes to be exact. Gender is a construct
you touched on him briefly, and how realistically most of the audience would be like him in a bad situation, but I do actually have to give major props to my boy Kinta. it's not even glazing to say that he's probably the bravest member of the cast. he's kinda dumb, bad at reading the room, and kinda self-centered, but he also risked his life willingly multiple times in a row during the space globalists arc. yeah, it was kind of selfishly motivated, but he still stood on business.
2:26 YESSSS SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING WHO HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ELSE MADE BY THE CREATOR AND THUS "different content than usual" COULD MEAN ANYTHING
Today i caught up with the manga and now I'm sad for the fact that i can't continue straight away. God i want a time skip, i haven't been this hooked up with a manga in ages, it completely blew my mind🤣🤣
Mood
Kinta or Rin. You're either the cringe nerd, or cringe horny nerd lol 😂 or both
Try estrogen
Yes finally someone with the same idea
I want to be a powerful disembodied mind...
Whats wrong with suits? i love them
The reflction of your screen light in your glasses makes it look like you have weird glowing eyes lol
Bro i absolutely love your voice. Its perfect for narration and the like as its super soothing!!
Appriciate that, thank you 👍🏽
The level of detain and creativity for weekly releases is so peak that we are legitimately concerned for the health of Tatsu.
Honestly
WAIT THEY’RE LITERALLY ME??? My journey to realizing I was non-binary started with me getting bored with typical masculine hair styles, and just deciding to grow my hair out to my shoulders. It progressed into feeling the same way about clothing and just not really feeling like I am a man or a woman, though I do feel more inclined to liking more feminine clothing/hair styles. I’ve had a lot of very important people helping me through my journey, both inadvertently (calling me “girl” or asking if I want my hair braided without regard for my biological sex) or directly (just talking to people about it). Seeing someone else having very similar experiences to me is genuinely incredible, thank you so much for making this video!
I was avoiding starting new ongoing mangas cuz im already feining chainsaw man and kagurabachi like a motherfucker, but i think this sold me to start reading dandadan too lol
A good trio of reads.
I feel like those arcs is a gigantic, long death flag... for some reason I think someone might die and the author won't mind doing so, he's a Fujimoto disciple and looking at Fuji's backstory, it never had a ""good"" ending
This video is a great analysis of the bittersweet feelings that these pieces of media give. It’s also really underrated. Cmon algorithm!❤ (I just realised that this is 3 years old which just makes me even more pissed)
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I don't like watching my older videos much, I think my general presentation hasn't aged very well from back then, but I still look back on this one very fondly.
He's just like me fr read all that in a day
You realize we know nothing about Okarun/Ken. After 175 chapter. We never seen his room or family. Are his parents alive? Are they dead? Did he have a cat growing up. If I miss his back story beside him wanting to get abducted, please tell me. Who is this kid.
Men's fashion is definitely one of the few areas where the "retvrn to tradition" argument actually holds some water. Men centuries ago dressed so much better than us. Even suits/overcoats in the 19th century were drip af. But then the 20th century came along and all men in the west just unilaterally decided to be boring and tasteless, and we've hardly improved since then either. Short hair cuts, button downs, t shirts, jeans, hoodies, khakis, polo shirts, and baseball caps as far as the eye can see.
I thought I wasn't gonna like this video based on the title, but I was in as soon as you said "I hate gender" I understood what this was about. Now it's not that bad for me cause I don't care about fashion specifically, but I sincerely don't care about my own gender and wish it didn't matter in many other context. I just don't care for being a male cause I think/hope it shouldn't matter to me.
I almost didn't write this but I still want to say how happy I am to have stumbled upon this video. It feels incredible to hear someone else saying the exact things I think and say about gender, and identify in nearly identical ways. Up until this point, I felt really alone in my experience of NB/gender. It's nice to know I'm not, even if I figured statistically there would be no way that I would. I really appreciate this video <3
I'm glad this found you when you needed it. Don't worry, you aren't alone.

I watched 8 episodes on Netflix, then finished the manga in two days. The dedication. I wish I also had this kind of commitment when doing homework…
