    Killshot is awesome. Not on level of Quitter, Nail in the Coffin, the Warning or s--- like that.

    But the lox/Jadakiss line was amazing.
    The Interscope line.
    The Diddy part.

    Album gets better with each listen.

    I was expecting something different on first listen but this might be his best album since TES

    I think the fact that this album is actually a big mainstream album with big promotion and singles, in comparison to Kamikaze/side A/B is going to give it more of a “classic” label. It’s going to have more of an impact to the game.

    A fan theory suggests that Eminem's album "TDOSS" tells a different story when listened to in reverse order. The theory breaks down as follows:

    1. Somebody Save Me: Foreshadows Marshall’s death.
    2. Guess Who’s Back: Signals the return of Slim Shady.
    3. Tobey: Slim Shady shows up when things don't go as planned.
    4. Bad One: Suggests Marshall's job is done and he disappears.
    5. Temporary: A letter to Hailie before he dies.
    6. Head Hancho: References the story of Ezekiel and Slim Shady's creation.
    7. Guilty Conscience 2: Slim Shady laughs after Paul hangs up, indicating it wasn’t a dream.
    8. Breaking News: Slim Shady shows Marshall the chaos he's started.
    9. Houdini: Paul wishes Marshall luck, thinking he's on a tangent.
    10. Road Rage: Slim dyes Marshall’s hair blonde again.
    11. Fuel: Indicates the reaper is coming for Marshall.
    12. Antichrist: Mentions Kurt Cobain and hints at Marshall's end.
    13. Lucifer: Sets up the finale with a switch between Marshall and Slim.
    14. All You Got: Slim asserts his dominance over Marshall.
    15. Evil: Foreshadows Slim's complete takeover.
    16. Brand New Dance: Slim shows his evil by mocking Reeves.
    17. Trouble Skit: Slim drugs and ties up Marshall.
    18. Habits: Marshall struggles while Slim forces him to take a pill.
    19. Renaissance: Slim buries Marshall and spits his first solo track without him, hinting at the unleashing of Slim Shady in Side B.

    The theory encourages listeners to play the album in reverse order to experience this narrative. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/14YGcD7s8MH9Som3iHVLmG?si=AhDZ857RTreOrg9cEFpWwQ&pi=a-9ImfXiR0QMGf

    d---.. Once you really start to understand the album and all the possibilities with the concept. Really fantastically done.

    Thank you Em. My gut says there is more directly related to this album thats soon to follow, but if Em retired right now this is a h--- of a high note to hit on the way out.

    The “haha” at the end of “Guilty Conscience 2” makes it sound like Shady actually won that battle, which would be why Em passes away on by the end of the album. Shady winning = continuation of drugs, which explains “Temporary” “Bad One” “Somebody Save Me”

    then when someone spits on shadys grave, aka disrespects slim shady, he gets reborn kinda like Kamikaze, Shady was pretty much dead on Revival but people spit on Em’s legacy, and shady reappeared on a way on Kamikaze.

    Not sure about Head Honcho/Tobey with the above theory though

    Just for fun, what do you guess were the original names he dropped in "brand new dance", I'm guessing the "drop the bombs" line originally mentioned Bin Laden and the Caitlyn Jenner line was about Michael Jackson

    "way beyond crazy shady gone, but hey maybe im the GOAT that bit Sean & Baby Iron and that's why they be on the s--- they be on"
    Also dissing Melle Mel and the billboard top 5 after Em laid all his beef to rest on GC2

    Head Honcho is Shady also. He's saying you can't relate to him if you've never been through some bs before. That's where the "fuel" for his "evil" ways comes from. Flow identical to Yellow Brick Road

    Bad One - So when they get mad or angry at
    A statement that I may have said
    I just say, "Man, I didn't say that s---, Shady did"


    Proceeds to diss Diddy and MGK

    I'm sorry but I'm down with the loop theory, the backwards theory... all of it.. that's what makes this so creative. I really believe he left it open for interpretation. Feels like Eminem is gone and Shady will be dropping side B with the physicals in September lol
