    Relistening to DOSS. Still feels perfect. At this point, I'm kinda more confused by the ending of the album. In the end of GC2, it seemed like Shady died but in Temporary it kinda felt like maybe Em died and that's why we hear a song dedicated to Hailie as if he is dead. He even says:
    "Yeah, so Hailie Jade, I wrote you this song
    To help you cope with life now that I'm gone"
    he says now that he is gone. He is gone in the Death of Slim Shady storyline.

    In Somebody Save Me, it almost feels like we are back to 07 again. Like Em never got clean by the drugs. They say it's an alternate reality but remember how Shady came back thru a time portal. Maybe somehow Em ended up in the time portal to 07 and he is struggling to re-survive in the end. Tobey only helps this theory of Shady actually killed or maybe sent Em back to 07 with the time portal, as we see Em in jason mask coming and killing off himself, it's prob Shady being represented in the mask.

    If we try to look this as Shady and Marshall being different sides and personalities of Em and whole album is him battling himself inside of his mind which is probably the thing, it makes even more sense. After GC2 Em feels like he overcame Shady's influence but somehow feels weak we hear him almost like saying a farewell to his daughter on Temporary, probably he has a hunch or something about Shady not being killed off. In Somebody Save Me he acknowledges Shady is inside his head and he never can get rid off it. The whole concept of him rapping as if he never came clean off drugs makes perfect sense considering he kinda implied that drugs were almost like the reason of Shady being existed in the first place.

    I don't know how to put it in the words properly. I probably would have a hard time doing that in my native language but this album really might be a masterpiece after all, pulling off such an amazing concept of a story, very philosophical, very deep while being very pleasing sonically in every aspect.

    As soon as Em killed Shady, Will Smith felt comfortable to curse in his records

    It’s obviously a flop! Only crazy stans think it’s not!Lol
    Only number 1 for 1 week. Over 70 percent drop in week 2.
    The pathetic Complex video and Rosenberg mentioning Em to be at the Crawford fight……embarrassing attempts to try and gain more hype.

    This definitely isn’t Em’s last album, despite all the themes of death

    I think we’ll know when it’s his last album because he’ll have the final song called Finale/Goodbye/Curtains Closed etc. and it’ll be the best d--- song he’s ever written

    Will probably be on another self titled album which will be much more personal than the past few, which I’ve always preferred to his ‘Shady’ songs: GTC, Deja Vu, Arose, Stepping Stone, Guts Over Fear, Fine Line, Rock Bottom etc

    I do think this will be his last ‘era’ though, and may drop a few projects in the next few years. Not sure if he can have another 4 year hiatus after that though and come back at 60 lmao

    And it’s the most stream rap album of the year, and Houdini is the most streamed rap song after Drake and Kendrick’s disses.at least come with facts and stop trolling

    Unless you can substantiate your statement you shouldn't put it out there in the first place.

    Don't get salty when someone questions you on it, it just looks like you're screeching in autism.

    Physicals will be way less than if he released them when the album dropped!
    Releasing them 3 months after no one will give a s--- about this album by then….people already getting bored of it after just 2 weeks!
