Jul 21, 2024 I still feel that this Shady was a parody of actual Shady and that the last time we saw the real Shady was Shady XV
Jul 21, 2024 Tobey is low-key great. It would have hit harder, I guess, if they made the music video have more references and the atmosphere of TES or MMLP like Houdini did. Instead we got three rappers dressed up like inmates for no f---ing reason and nauseating montage. Boring s--- which is additionally hard to look at.
Jul 21, 2024 I can't believe we're living in the times when Eminem is the only rapper criticised for his lyrics. When it comes to Travis and other rappers with lyrics about doing drugs and f---ing, this aspect is ignored in the reviews, and they are praised and rated solely for their sound. The music culture is really totally destroyed. In f---ing shambles. Everything is about politics now.
Jul 21, 2024 Just realized Em mentions Kim Jong-un Korean dictator. He wasn't the leader of North Korea in 2004, he was there since 2011 or something. That song might be changed more than we thought for the album... Doing drugs is a cool thing in the eyes of authorities today tho. It's kinda part of woke culture or what it evolved to be lately I guess. It's being legalized and s--- everywhere.
Jul 21, 2024 If Kendrick released Tdoss it would be called a classic already. He’s good, but his last album make me take a nap. It seems I have doctor’s degree in music to fully resonate with it. Em will never be appreciated again by the press ever again.
Jul 21, 2024 Eminem prides himself as a lyricist, Travis is going for soundscapes. The two are going for completely different goals with their music and they should be judged accordingly (people like Travis should also be critiqued for their lyrics because it's part of the music itself although not a large part but still my point stands).
Jul 21, 2024 This just isn't true, a ton of people didn't like Mr Morale and that was already his reckoning with his self image and it mentions cancel culture multiple times. If anything TDOSS is just Em's version of Mr Morale but way less specific on the personal stuff.
Jul 21, 2024 Em knew exactly what he was doing with this album and the title just fits everything perfect.Slim shady is too hard for this butterfly generation and those woke critics who have a left agenda.Slim shady is really death because this generation too soft,too weak,to corny.
Jul 21, 2024 Em mentions biggie and pac a couple of times, feels like he is positioning himself as the OG big 3. like looking at top10 there are a lot of copies of Biggie (jayz etc) and Tupac (kendrick etc) so the way he says biggie and Tupac is dead but I’m still here, kind of feels like he saying they are the original big 3, and then there are some minions
Jul 21, 2024 Sounds like you failed to get the album too, just like the critics, since it's Eminems point too that Shady is corny now.
Jul 21, 2024 Honestly if Em said: ”shirt search lurk murk squirt dirt first” in a verse people would be laughing at the nonsense. But when JID does it, he gets goated
