Sep 1, 2024 I was gonna call this post autistic but then I realized that cooking utensils can't be autistic. Nor can they talk/type, so I wonder who's writing these posts for him...I mean it.
Sep 1, 2024 In the early 2000s Eminem said in interviews that he used to think of Shady as an alter ego character until he realized it wasn't an act because that's how he was all the time. Back then he'd learned to come to grips with and even embrace the reality that people are scum. Now he's back to conceptualizing Shady as a character because he let the guilt-trippers get to him. Besides using youth as an excuse, the "Slim Shady" excuse is a way for him to minimize his moral accountability as much as possible. It's also a useful lie to tell himself because it makes it easier for him to believe that despite being morally corruptible by ideas and other external influences, most people are inherently good.
Sep 2, 2024 This song represents a fight between the same person's two personalities inside of a dream. Of course it's autistic, how can it not be?
Sep 2, 2024 Bro really dropped a good album on us, performed Houdini twice, did a digital interview probably recorded before the album release, put out a new video and called it a day
Sep 2, 2024 Ofc it is. Alter ego is like a pimped-up you, or a side of you. Not a separate entity :/ It's still him. Slim Shady isn't some other person. 'we are the same, b----' How have you listened to Eminem this whole time and not gotten this lol.
Sep 2, 2024 Alternative personality means entirely different personality. Have you seen the movie Split? I believe it was first described in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and they were completely different people with no memory of each other. Alternative does not mean "slightly different but belonging to the same", it means different. Like there is a traffic jam and you take an alternative road...its a different road. I cant believe eminen didnt flesh this out better.
Sep 2, 2024 Entirely diff personality yeah, but it's still YOU. It's not a separate person. PersonALITY, not perSON. So, it's still part of him, inside of him etc. that's the point. Same entity.
