    Yeah, but I kind of meant execution of the concept rather than bringing shady back.

    I’ve posted this before but to all the people shi--ing on the stepdad hook listen to the original song. He could of had better lyrics but they fit the song, and how he sings it is just like the original.

    I already answered My Mom, but somehow went down a Relapse rabbit hole. Love or hate the accent, Stay Wide Awake remains one of his most technically impressive songs.

    Stepdad. It has an Alchemist beat, the other doesn't.
    Rapping is really hard, the storytelling, flows and delivery were 10/10. But the chorus was horrible but it didn't ruin the song as a whole at all.

    Spatula Relapse is a masterpiece

    but the song is from a child's perspective, hence the hook being childish and on the nose.

    Yeah, I definitely don't see Relapse-Eminem (or 'slim shady') being the same character as the cartoon world violence of the first three albums, or rly trying to be. Even if Dre's son gave that direction, Eminem is clearly trying something new. So I don't agree its simply a matter of him trying to 'recapture the old magic' and failing (like he does on We Made You). So it really does stand out as an outlier for better or worse, if you vibe w the arabic serial killer r--- raps stuff or not.

    My gut is he wanted to talk about his drug addiction, how the past several years crippled him, so him concocting silly, knowingly anti social feverscape s--- about like Lindsay Lohan is his way to trojan horse the subject matter in while also giving 'fans' the schlock they supposedly wanted. idk, i dont listen to it every day or every month lol, but its kind of a unique effort and has more artistic merit than 'OMG the accent!' takes gave it credit for.
