The Death of Slim Shady album is insanely good.
Some months ago a random pink-haired girl on TikTok called out Gen X for not speaking up about ... something. Millennials showed up as the voice of caution, reminding her that Gen X is the 'lost' generation for a reason, be quiet, let them stay lost ... but it was too late.
Gen X had awoken, and made their way to TikTok to tell their stories - how the nightly news had to remind their parents that they even HAD children, how our playgrounds were made of steel and asphalt, how 5 year olds walked themselves the mile to school, how there was no such thing as a bike helmet, etc.
Eminem's releasing this song is on the heels of that, and I feel like it's a commentary on what the present day looks like for someone raised back then, as well as a subtle reminder of how influential he has been and remains. There are so many people who don't know that obsessed fans are called "Stans" BECAUSE of Eminem.
I think at the end it's a Gen X Ode to Not Giving a Single F*ck , and how we earned that right. Now, I'm not here for and I don't condone all of the problematic things Eminem said back in the day, or even in this song. I'm here for tolerance and kindness and inclusivity precisely BECAUSE I remember a time when those things were nonexistent. But when they wake up Slim Shady, they're going to GET Slim Shady, and they don't get to act surprised or be judgmental about it.
That said, thank you for the reaction! As always, looking forward to more - I appreciate the variety you bring to us.
If you want something insane to react to check out Kasey Chambers Lose Yourself Live in Newcastle. I guarantee you'll love it.
Love your channel and reactions. I'm here for your Kendrick journey.
I'm 53, my kids were born in '95 & '97... My 10 year class reunion was '99... The year Em came onto the scene! ❤ I've followed him his whole career & my kids love him too! My daughter moved to China 5 years ago to teach & her coworkers nicknamed her Slim Shady cuz she's American, white & has blonde hair 😂 She also told me that one night they went out to karaoke in Shanghai & one of her coworkers did Without Me word for word! 👍🎶🥰 Great reaction btw! I just wish Em would have kept Dre in through the end cuz I don't care for that guy at the ending.. imo. Other than that, best Marahall coming out ❤
Btw.. for the youngins... Before you watch Houdini, watch.. 1, Without Me.. 2, Just Lose It.. 3, The Real Slim Shady.. jus sayin'.. then you'll get a lot of references
Thanks for the comment! Ive liked EM since I was in middle school so its nice to see he is still making great music, and music that makes me feel nostalgic!
Em would cancel "cancel culture" before they cancel him.
Agreed!
Soooo much nostalgia! I love it! There are a thousand Easter eggs and call backs to older videos. I missed Slim Shady but I'm excited for some SliminEm 😂. Without Me has always had a special place in my heart and playlist ♥️ and this is basically the sequel.
Yea this one was so good! I could not remember the song, but you are right, its "Without Me". I really need to go check out some of his other new stuff, I dont think ive heard all of it yet.
🔥🔥🔥 nice reaction! They used cgi. Em also shaved his beard and they used de-aging software for him with a bandana on, the podcast scene and a couple more. I was shocked and had a smile on my face the 1st time I watched this video. This is a call back to WITHOUT ME vid. 😎👍
They did such a good job on the cgi. It is barely noticeable!
@@dethrowegamer1715 yep ... I was ftfo when I 1st saw it, my jaw dropped when I was watching bandana Em!
Marshall will be 52 in October... That's why the Houdini shout out is important... Cuz Harry Houdini died in Detroit at age 52 in October.
Oh dang, thats cool!
Oh, he definitely used something like a deep fake (the way they still had a young Carrie Fisher appear in the last Star Wars sequel trilogy.
6:55 I don't believe he uses autotune at all (1. In 'Killshot', his response to MGk's 'Rap Devil' he goes at MGK for using autotune he isn't really one that would, especially on a diss track, have the "do as I say not as I do" mentality. 2. I've never recorded anything but do sing and have SOME grasp on the distinguishing features of especially the drop in a few of the more natural sounds and an unnatural sounding blend of more than 1 note. There's a drop in things like growls and vibratos and Em definitely has some growl...the whole cookie monster sound haha. And last but most telling, the lack of that robotic sound at the end of ohrasses/phrasing.)
I like his voice myself. He has to have an incredible set of musculature in the tongue, neck etc and decent lungs given his ability with his crazy, acrobatic-stunt-type rhymes all while enunciating things clearly. He's got good dynamic control and this is especially beneficial to the changes in cadence and stresses etc that he's known. So, in a way, I think the years spent in the battle rap scene, then starting off in the more mainstream hip hop world helped him develop areas that have only helped his (singing) voice.
9:26 yep. At the beginning when Dre informs him there's a situation, the paper reads that a portal from 2002 has opened up. Slim Shady steps through it and as anyone from back then might, goes WTF is going on? And sets off to cause havoc as Slim is wont to do (and today being..today he and Dre set out to stop him before he gets 2024 Marshall cancelled. XD (Rapboy is his Robin-like alter ego who is often up against Slim shady such as in Without Me.
Thanks for the comment and info! I really liked this one. It took me back and reminded me how much I use to like him when I was younger. I really need to check out some more of his newer stuff.
