The end of an era is upon us, and it is filled with weirdness, sadness, and death. Eminem returns to put an end to a crucial part of his career: Slim Shady. Eminem is here to give the mad persona one last spin before burying him for good. In this last episode, Shady is going all in on tearing everyone apart, including disabled people, little people, Gen Z, and the trans community, in his usual fashion. At times, it feels like he is going overboard and being overzealous, like on tracks like “Brand New Dance” or “Antichrist.”. However, when we get to “guilty conscience 2," you can see the overall narrative circle back on itself as Marshall and Slim battle it out, and Emem is showing how he is trying to profess and be a better person. The whole Death of Slim Shady concept is pretty interesting here and is cohesive on this album. He is delivering the solid and fast bars that he is known for throughout the album. Even when things slow down, he is still able to work his magic, make some interesting word rhymes, and have a good flow. At the start of the album, his vocals are kind of low in the mix and sound weird, but they get more turned up on the rest of the album. Most of the features add a lot to the songs and give them some fresh feelings. “Brand New Dance” and “Head Hounco” are the only songs that seem to suffer from the features being too weird or hard to understand. Then he has songs like “temporary” and “someone save me,” where he is saying his last goodbye to his kids in a touching and heartfelt way. The production choices for the songs all have a good sound to them for the most part. A few tracks recycle old beats or use weird beats that kind of throw off the vibe of the album. It feels like a good send-off to a character that has been a big part of his career. R.I.P. slim shady!
