From upcoming new album -

 

[Soodanim]

Nice to see him trying to have fun again. Getting stuck in the mix of serious and extremely technical style made his recent stuff boring. The video makes this what it is, too. It wouldn't be the same without it.

 

[eddie4]

I feel like this album is about to piss a lot of people off, and I'm here for it.

 

[Rockondevil]

I enjoyed that. It's got parts of a few of his bangers, with the bonus of Steve Miller Band.

i already read some twitter threads about the Megan thee stallion line.
Gen Z is already crying lol

 

[AJUMP23]

Trying very hard.

 

[ManaByte]

Gen Z is already crying lol

Traumatize them.

 

[ahtlas7]

 

[SJRB]

The track itself is whack as fuck but his lyrics are always cool and the video is oldschool goofy.

You love to see it.

I hope Em is back on his older shit, didn't like his latest releases.

 

[Thaedolus]

That was fun, I like fun Eminem

 

[Chuck Berry]

Not a fan at all. Never liked his goofy stuff and it sounds like it belongs back in 2002-2003.

 

[Represent.]

What a fucking horrendous beat. My god. So corny.

He can rap his ass off, but the beat makes this unlistenable.

 

[Dacvak]

I liked it! Always fun to get a new Eminem track.

 

[DosGamer]

I love how people are upset that he had a line about Megan Thee Stallion (can I just say, i hate the fucking name) and how he shouldnt make fun of her, yet she literally sings a song about WAP... lmao....
You create or sing on a song like that, then all bets are off and anything is on the table.

Sounds like he's back to doing his job.

 

[casnix]

Love it. Nostalgic as fuck.

 

[Mr Hyde]

It was fun and nostalgic to see him go back to his earlier works, but the track itself was really bad. Felt like a b-side leftover to some of his corniest songs, like Just lose it or We made you.

 

[KyoZz]

LOVED IT! Shady is back

So many references to old tracks, can't wait for the full alum.

 

[Kacho]

His new music lacks something, can’t quite quantify that. Sounds very phoned in.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Anger. Old Eminem was fueled by anger and that's what made his debut so incredible. He's rich and famous now, nothing to fuel that fire. He is talented but he says a whole load of nothing.

 

[KyoZz]

he says a whole load of nothing

Ok, you can think his latest album was mid but he says nothing? Maybe take a look at some analysis because damn, his latest album is one of his best. One example:

 

[Woggleman]

I don't find it offensive but it is just corny. His most popular songs are Lose Yourself and Stan which are not shack value songs so why does he insist on doing this yawn inducing crap?

 

[Tams]

Not a fan at all. Never liked his goofy stuff and it sounds like it belongs back in 2002-2003.

Aka, when music was still good.

 

[TGO]

Finally!

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

I really liked it. Second play thru hit.

 

[OverHeat]

This track is pure fire!

 

[TheShocker]

Snapped me right back to 2003, watching TRL. Now I just need Fred Durst to show up in a red Yankees hat.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Man, if he rocks the Slim Shady style this whole album, I’m am 100% with it. He’s tried to be way too serious and technical with his lyrics since he got sober. I’m glad he is, but I miss his music for then, it was so much better.

Sorry, he’s actually with Carson Daly right now.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Truism, however it was also prime goofy Em era

 

[Cattlyst]

I enjoyed it. The world has gotten too serious so it’s good to see Eminem back again to poke fun and not give a shit. Total nostalgia hit too. Man I miss the early 2000s…

 

[eddie4]

Sorry, he’s actually with Carson Daly right now.

I assume they're arguing who got head first?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

So much plastic is put on Eminem's Face... it seems like he hasn't aged.

But his time of glory has passed.

The peak of Eminem was the album the marshall mathers lp

and this song was the best .

 

[jufonuk]

I liked it.

 

[Macattk15]

Not bad. Not bad.

 

[TGO]

The fact he said his next trick is making his career disappear kinda hints that he ain't gonna hold back, I think he has been holding his tongue for a while and now he's saying fuck it.
They're always looking to my pass for a reason to cancel me despite me, might as well not hide it anymore
It's who I am, I'm gonna start saying what I actually think and anyone that don't like it can...

I used to think MMLP was the best one, but over the years I've found that I'd rather listen to Slim Shady LP for the hungry Eminem that told better stories or The Eminem Show for what I think is his peak (perhaps he agrees, as the video says 2002 and that's when TES was released).

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Fuck all the armchair cynics. This was better than expected. I'm waiting for the badasses here to drop their own track 1/100th the quality of this.

 

[ItsGreat]

I love goofy not give a fuck Eminem.

I always felt the guest rappers on the Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LPs didn't get the humour. Their verses seemed a bit to try hard toughness.

 

[Urban]

Beat was weak tho

 

[daffyduck]

Beat was weak tho

I like it better than the song it's based on.

He also merges his current self with his old self in the clip, so hopefully that means his other songs will be more fun and less boring political ones.

Yeah I was wondering what he meant by the album title The Death of Slim Shady.
And there it is, a fusion of both.
Although his style is definitely more Slim
Should be interesting, but this is the fun upbeat track and I can't wait to see what else he got on the Album.
We needed this, he needed to do this and the world looks like it agrees.

 

[gow3isben]

Shit was fire yo

 

[Melon Husk]

Very easy on the ears, that is my backhanded compliment

 

[MastAndo]

I'm not a fan of most of Eminem's campy, goofy stuff, so I'll sit this one out. I'm sure the album will have a few tracks on there for me though.

 

[TGO]

He summed it up perfectly

 

[Bridges]

Not a fan of the track unfortunately but I like that he's at least trying to go back to his older style. He's had a good song here and there on the newer records but overall he hasn't been able to touch his early work.

I hope the other songs retain the old style without being so self-referential. I like Em quite a bit but he pulls from the nostalgia well too often imo without ever actually replicating the the fun and catchiness of his early music
