    I actually don't mind the vid.

    Thought i was gonnna hate it.

    I think some are missing the actual concept, and of the song itself - even though, again, not a huge fan of the song either but - like the vid shows... it's him rapping from h---/heaven, he's dead, looking down on himself and everything, it's not like Mockingbird because that's just him watching home movies; this is him being dead after shooting himself (and therefore Shady @ 'murder suicide b----!') on GC2. Temporary & Save Me are like him dead, which, actually goes nice with the concept... except he f---ing had Head Honcho and Bad One and Tobey all mixed in there to ruin that as usual. Even though all those songs are cool... placed so badly.

    Exactly. All the songs leading up to GC2 lead up to the death of Slim, but there really isn't any form of storyline after. You could make a case for Temporary and SSM because they relate to the death theme, but there's nothing about Head Honcho, Tobey or Bad One that really add anything to the story

    Video was fine, not much of a budget left after Houdini lool
    Song clearly means a lot to Em and it's obvious how regretful he is about his drug use and how it impacted his daughters! Appreciate seeing more snippets into his private life!

    EDIT - The better help link at the end is a nice touch!

    Btw anybody else find it weird that the whole promo for the album was the mystery of "Who Killed Slim Shady?" when it was just Em? This isn't even the first time that he's attempted to k--- the character off (End of Encore, When I'm Gone, My Darling) and there really weren't any other suspects presented throughout the album.

    you are the one hating on an album that already ran it’s course, my guiri. No single is gonna help it. It’s a cool album but it’s not mainstream to keep pushing singles and videos. He had Houdini. That’s it. He also promoted it. Yet you still salty, my ese, wtf.

    The whole thing is intertwining with nightmares where he keeps waking up and 'is it real or a dream?' etc. doesn't mean he couldn't then still dream he's dead too does it. Probably why he kept threading that through, to give him self an out of not needing it to be total logic following of what happens. But it's no coincidence he kills himself (and shady) by shooting himself in the head, that's the whole point - like fight club, where ed norton shoots himself and kills tyler durden... bc the alter ego is in his head so where else is he gonna s---t...

    No coindience that happens then he has two songs after that where he's rapping from a dead perspective.

    It’s a generic song he done a million times. You keep going on about the sales, trending and it being a single worthy. Not one mention about the quality of the song lmfao. One dumb, migrant. It’s a concept album, so he should be making visuals for the album that connect with that. Not worrying about what’s trending or what could be single worthy because dago Dan keeps going on about it.

    What the actual f--- lmao
    It has a lot to do with the concept
    Eminem revisits the timeline when Slim Shady and side by side his drug addiction was at its peak and imagines himself not being able to witness his loved ones do well in life.

    To the ones who want the "Old Eminem", "Dark demented Slim Shady", he is showing them "Hey little f---ers. This was really the old Eminem, struggling for his life and on verge of losing everything he had worked for."
    With this, he proves he has his reasons to cause the "Death of Slim Shady".
    He struggles with this guilt/shame and question of bringing the "old Eminem" back and this is him trying to move on. And when you connect it with the starting track, this is him being trapped in a loop, feeling guilty about what Slim Shady/addiction caused him but yet bringing that s--- over and over again in his music just to please his fans.

    That would be waste of 4 years of album waiting, he can just deliver that kinda album in few months as a compilation but nobody would be satisfied with that kinda studio album after 4 years.

    The trailer's goal was just to introduce the title to us in some creative way. You read into it way too much.

    No one mentioned sales, he did all that could be done with this project and I bet we will get more performances. Nothing else can be done with this album, it’s good but far from great.

    Now stop hating over a video lol talking bout Jelly Roll, he stood there singing his part, f--- else did you want him to do :hoplease:


    Dude released 3 singles, shot 3 videos, interviewed himself, performed, and s--- still mad, this s--- brazy.

    Not mad at all. I don’t like the song or video. You just want Eminem to do things as you get some satisfaction if he is active, which is completely weird by the way for a grown man to be obsessed about someone doing interviews and being active. Mental even.
