😂
Pretty bad reaction. Should’ve done some research. Missed the entire point of the last song.
‘Boy is Bruce generous’ Em’s middle name is Bruce😭 That’s crazy
Smoke with Lamar is about Lamar Odom. He’s taken a few digs at khloe and Lamar over the years. Save me is in the view of old Eminem if he hadn’t gotten his life together and overdosed. Because he recently walked Haley down the isle at her wedding
You guys really need to go back and listen to some old Eminem tracks. Y’all are really missing out on a lot of the best rapping you’ll ever hear. I gotta hella recommendations if you need some help lol 🤝🏽
His last song is from the perspective of if he overdosed. Its not from current times.
“Smoke with Lamar bro” Lamar Odom used to smoke hard/coke
you both need to listen to my darling, as an addict his album is a masterpiece. He is 16 years sober
The fact y’all haven’t heard the original guilty conscience is wild!
I paid 3 dollars to see your guys reaction and you skipp half of each song? Is there copyright on pateron?
Lol I don't think so they just being extra careful
The last song for Hailey is from the perspective of him being dead. The idea is he's happy he didn't die from his addiction because it's easier to deal with people mad at shady while living than to be dead and leave behind the people that really matter to him. He can't kill slim shady because he would have killed himself, if he killed himself his daughters don't have a father ect. It's a bed time story for the persona that brought him fortune, fame, and misery.
that last track “somebody save me” i think is him speaking from the perspective of him looking down on his family if he would’ve died to drugs back when he wasn’t sober
Also when you guys were talking about Lamar bar where you said he was dissing he was referring to Lamar Odom but good reach tho
I use to be a big Eminem fan and they do a great job explaining art
"thats crazy" at 8 minutes is like oh shit they dont even know lmao
Stop reaching y’all get this white man dick out y’all mouths. Pause
Point of the last track is to rap in the perspective if slim shady had won and taken over his personal life, he woulda overdosed and chosen drugs over his kids. In Em’s real life he got clean and was there for his kids (he walked Hailie down the altar earlier this year,) last track is in the perspective of Slim who represents the worse version of himself
Dam Terrance missed the whole point of Somebody save me? He missed the whole LP
Bro wtf he did walk his daughters to the altar 😂😂 That’s a what if song 🙌🤘
The point of the album I think was missed a little. Everyone was talking about how they wanted shady back, but shady doesn’t speak good things about people, so he was proving to people that shady isn’t a good thing, he is capable of rapping this way without being offensive. And temporary and somebody save me was written in the perspective if he didn’t turn it around, he’s been clean for almost 12 years. Great album though, his best since mmlp2
Em has been sober for 10+ years 🌚 the song was written as if he didn’t get sober ..
Idk if it’s a stretch but the “smoke with Lamar bro” line on Lucifer is a double entendre cuz it could also be referring to Lamar Odom smoking crack which “isn’t smart” going back to the line before
Icl… this album is lowkey fire. Best Eminem album in years. The rapping is mad. Not really a fan of Eminem, just always respected his rapping.. but this project is moving mad
suggestion : bad cameo
Ya that last song was him if he had died the time he overdosed and missed everything he got to experience being now sober.
The song temporary fits the theme more than you guys realize - after Marshall kills slim shady in Guilty Conscience 2 the album changes, and your left with just Eminem, and the mess left behind by slim, also the album is called “the death of slim shady” and the song “Temporary” is a message to Hailie after he’s dead. The way he killed slim shady was a murder suicide. Then the last song somebody save me is Eminem being put in the casket and lowered into the grave. It’s like an alternate universe where Eminem died from his drug overdose in 2007 (which really happened because of what slim shady made him become) The CRAZY part is, if you play the album backwards it tells a different story of slim shady surviving after Eminem’s near death from drug overdose in 2007 and how slim shady ends up tying Marshall up and taking over, which seems like what actually happened because he made this album as slim shady and brought that entire persona back. And with the first song “Renaissance” being the last song in the reverse order, the very last thing that happens is Slim Shady spits on Marshall’s grave “Hawk tuah!” it’s a fire concept for an album🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ngl the wordplay is crazy… gotta respect the rapping ability
Last two songs were a letter from the perspective of slim shady dying back then and his daughters growing up without a father and not being able to be there for them when they accomplished something. So that being said, his daughters are now married and he walked both of them down the aisle. 🙏🏽
The comment above me from Nick nailed it, the last track is from his perspective if he had not been able to "kill off shady" and get clean. The album is the death of slim shady, conceptual track too
Hey man, wait until you have your daughter in September, your life will change and listening to temporary will have a total different effect. I cried and heard alot of people the same.
I can see where you got that take from with your wrap up with the final song, as you guys aren't big Em fans and followed his story etc. He been sober like 2008, after he nearly OD'd. That last song was taking the perspective of what would have happened if "slim shady" won 20 years ago, and he continued to spiral. He's been there for his kids since he suppressed that side of him - deep shit.
I’d love to see y’all React to the Old albums of Em like MMLP and Eminem show
You guys need to listen to the album in reverse then talk about it on the next pod
'I didnt like the beat so I hate it, might delete later / hated might delete later' as in when people hate the beat of a song and might delete it later, but also actually hating the Cole album
Album terrible
Gay
Anyone else tear up on the song temporary???
Mount Manashmore is crazy
Dopest flip was the juvenile flip rapping like juvenile because his raps are “ juvenile” or childish
Y’all gotta listen to the album backwards. Eminem is a genius.
Difference between hate speech and free speech
“how do we feel about a white boy saying that” 😂😂😂
He was definitely talking about Lamarr as in Jermaine Lamarr Cole
you gotta give tron a full reaction
Eminem been clean for over a decade lol so that last song was him saying if he wasn’t sober lol come on now do the googles
not listening to this bullshit
Yea cuz you'd rather listen to Yeat...beat his meat..
Didn't need Terrance's high horse take on Eminem's shortcomings as a father.
Which were completely false. But I understand, they're ignorant to a lot of Eminem's history so 🤷🏾 I can't be mad at them.
Really good album. Refreshing
Yall misunderstood the last track. He's BEEN sober for like 15 yrs. That track is if he let drugs take over and kill him. Yall don't know cus like yall said, yall don't know Eminem lore, but he's ALWAYS been a great dad to his kids.
Eminem is the Mick Foley of rap and i only mean that by he has alter egos that his fans get excited to see him go back to, like when Mick comes out as Cactus Jack or Dude Love. Its cool to see people still love Slim shady which is a very dark side of him or maybe who he really is at the core
I don’t see yall replaying any of these tracks again … this album seems like his version of Mr Morale or Therapy trying to kill off his bad conscience.
Ok I forgot about track “ Tobey“ is hard that’s a repeat for sure my bad
Completely agreed with the thoughts about “Temporary”. I didn’t need that on this album at all
Def skipping to 42:22 then replaying the whole video after lol
Their reaction to the outro further shows how this album is meant to be listened from front to back and in reverse. In reverse being the darker version cause if Somebody Save Me is the intro, Em is in a dark place trying to reconcile his past mistakes to who he is now and further into the reverse of the album you go, as he tries to end Shady, on Guilty Conscience 2, the song ends with Shady laughing after he supposedly just died. But that’s the trick hence Houdini, then you go down and Shady has taken over entirely again and the outro is Renaissance.
all the people saying “this shit so cringe bro this album so corny no one even tryna cancel him” y’all really missed the whole point. the whole album is em getting in the bag EVERYONE WANTED from him. people been saying “go back to the slim shady shit” for YEARS, and hes basically saying “that shit is dumb, immature, and would not hit,” while managing to make it sound good anyways and still have bars.
Making a cringe album to make a point is sick work
As others have said, the final track on the album IS an alternate reality where Em failed to give up substance abuse and died, missing the chance to be there for his kids' weddings. The reality is that he DID overcome addiction, and has been clean for 15 years! He DID walk his daughters to the altar. He IS still alive to be a better father to Stevie, to hold Nate's kids, etc. So Terrance was really off at the end there, BUT at the same time hella on point: a lot of ppl have interpreted the way he did, in that the final track represents what "having Slim Shady" REALLY means. It's not just the edgy bars and the piss-you-off songs, it's also all the drugs and alcohol that comes with it, and thus, his impending death like when he OD'd in 07. That's why I think SSM is a beautiful track. And why I honestly wasn't mad at Terrance for not knowing and misinterpreting. That anger Terrance had about Em is exactly the kind of anger Em must have had to Shady when he wrote this song. Em knows the difference between a good father and a bad one, and for as imperfect as he was as a father then, he should be relieved that he's a decent father now. Because he DIDN'T choose drugs over his kids It ties the whole album together to say that Slim Shady is dead because not only would he not work in 2024, but that he wouldn't work with being a good father, either Also, GC2 is actually where Shady explicitly dies, hence why all the tracks after aren't nearly as offensive. It's either tracks of modern Em just rapping like he raps, with two powerfully emotional tracks about his kids, whom are more important to him than anything Besides that, awesome reaction as always and yall 100% were on it with many of the bars, some I didn't even catch. One of the best TDOSS reactions I've seen and I can't say I'm surprised. Fair critiques but also worthy flowers being given to Em throughout this. The way yall were just swept in enjoying how maniacal Shady was but still acknowledging the shit he was saying was still uncalled for, and catching on that a lot of it really is satirical. Way better than other reviewers who couldn't get over his offensive lyrics for the wrong reasons (both those who were annoyed by the lyrics and those who unironically agreed with the lyrics)
Well said!
Christopher Reeves was OG Superman. He had a fall off a horse one day and became disabled and wheelchair bound. That's what he's referencing. "Get up, Chris"
I fucking lost it when I heard the horse sound, like no he didn't just do that😂
Can you pleassssse mix it up, we need some R&B and something for the ladies.
I think the reason for the song for his kids is bc the album is the DEATH of slim shady so it’s for when he’s gone
Thank you !!!! So happy to get this reaction !!
Yo “is there guilty conscience 1?” Is wild! Need y’all to hear that. Don’t even have to record it
nah fr guilty conscience is up there in terms of all time creative hip hop songs
I also think the Lamar line refers to Lamar Odom. He’s had well known struggles with addiction, cocaine being one.
My favorite part in tobey is yall literally earlier mention “if somebody says em’s in my top 5, im not mad at it” and he literally says he doesnt think how anybody can be above him “yet here i sit on your list though at 5” that was so crazy to me
Y'all gotta try this. I copied this from FB A fan theory suggests that Eminem's album "TDOSS" tells a different story when listened to in reverse order. The theory breaks down as follows: ‼️‼️‼️‼️ 1. Somebody Save Me: Foreshadows Marshall’s death. 2. Guess Who’s Back: Signals the return of Slim Shady. 3. Tobey: Slim Shady shows up when things don't go as planned. 4. Bad One: Suggests Marshall's job is done and he disappears. 5. Temporary: A letter to Hailie before he dies. 6. Head Hancho: References the story of Ezekiel and Slim Shady's creation. 7. Guilty Conscience 2: Slim Shady laughs after Paul hangs up, indicating it wasn’t a dream. 8. Breaking News: Slim Shady shows Marshall the chaos he's started. 9. Houdini: Paul wishes Marshall luck, thinking he's on a tangent. 10. Road Rage: Slim dyes Marshall’s hair blonde again. 11. Fuel: Indicates the reaper is coming for Marshall. 12. Antichrist: Mentions Kurt Cobain and hints at Marshall's end. 13. Lucifer: Sets up the finale with a switch between Marshall and Slim. 14. All You Got: Slim asserts his dominance over Marshall. 15. Evil: Foreshadows Slim's complete takeover. 16. Brand New Dance: Slim shows his evil by mocking Reeves. 17. Trouble Skit: Slim drugs and ties up Marshall. 18. Habits: Marshall struggles while Slim forces him to take a pill. 19. Renaissance: Slim buries Marshall and spits his first solo track without him, hinting at the unleashing of Slim Shady in Side B. The theory encourages listeners to play the album in reverse order to experience this narrative.
Thought terrells shirt said BUSS looool
Eminem gotta start taking himself more seriously as an artist. Just nothing of importance to say for a decade+. It's almost like he realized punching down at trans folks for an hour would come off obsessive so he threw in blind folks and little people (those aren't even hot button issues lol). Nobodys coming to cancel you. You're just boring dawg
Thank you
Yes. About face was a double entendre. Maybe triple. Room for the literal face as in looks, but he meant if you’re not about head turn away from in as in the military move.
I paused at the same moments,with the rope and hanging, hard r, and the Candace Owens shots. They get strong side eyes, but also, I think it’s the point.
He also points out how much of a hypocrite he is talking about how he’ll say anything offensive but won’t ever go as far as black stuff. “Pretending not to care but he really does” because if he really didn’t care he would be saying the “hardER”. Also everything he said about Candace Owens is right and deserved lol
so yall did this one but not Meg the Stallion
ts was ass lowkey and i love meg
Not my favorite project from him. But it’s some of the best rapping I’ve heard Em ever do. He literally had me shook a couple times with the flows and stylistic choices he made.
(nobel like the peace prize) no bail like the peace prys🔥
Eminem has been sober for 10+ years so the ending is just part of the concept of the album
I seen a lot of reactors missed this after guilty conscious 2 the death of Slim Shady album is officially done now we’re getting to Marshall Mathers and that’s where the songs like Temporary comes in so everything after guilty conscious is Marshall Mathers
Y’all should definitely check out Slim Shady LP
10-15 years sober I think he just saying shit from the past
Em been sober the song was rapping in the perspective if he did die when he had an overdosed in 2007
He killed shady at the end of guilty conscience 2 then marshal started rapping about his daughters and the last song he wrote from the perspective of him never beating his drug addiction
I like 9 tracks
"wonder if there's a guilty conscious 1" damn I though everyone knows that song even if you're not an Em fan. Em was going back and forth with Dre in the first one.
And the video was great.
Terrence thinking Em is still on pills and currently apologizing you are so lost.
❗️❗️❗️
You could never deny this fool talent.. I was around to know slim shady I was in 7th grade when he came out so it’s on him he part of era that ain’t finna change which means his pen ain’t either. 🤷🏾♀️
The moment at 33:46 when they start jumping at the same time without looking at each other is peak twin connection
best review everrrrr
i didn’t like how yall were kinda judging in the beginning but i saw how you’ll were getting it on “Habits” like it’s the death of SlimShady he’s saying all this crazy shit as Slim and on guilty conscience2 he’s talking to himself as Marshall
I never really fucked with Em, not my type of artist. But I really enjoyed watching this review
BabyTron had the best verse on the album too 🔥
“ we get it ” 🤣
If they have never heard guilty conscience 1 I think that would be a fire flashback reaction bc that song is fucking nuts lol
Yes they need to do this, especially since theyve never listened to it.
Definitely think the sad songs were from the perspective of Slim Shady cz Hallie already has a podcast so he's kinda saying if he was still Slim Shady he wouldn't have even made it to this point due to addiction. N I think her podcast started like a year or 2 ago
The last song for Hailie isn’t about him now in 2024, it’s him singing from the grave if he had died after overdosing when proof died. The doctors said he would’ve died if he arrived to the hospital 10 minutes later. So this is from that perspective had he not made it
I think the ending (and really the concept of the album) was a hypothetical in which Eminem didn't survive his drug addiction and both he and Slim had died due to some form of drug overdose, hence the "death" of Slim Shady. I also think the concept centers much around drugs, as drugs are mentioned and sprinkled throughout the album. I would even argue "Brand New Dance" is a song about benzodiazipine/alcohol withdrawal, as seizures and comas are symptoms of that type of withdrawal. Even though Eminem thought he defeated Slim, he reappears at the second-to-last song, indicating that Slim never truly died, and Em was stuck in a cycle of drugs. The album therefore is a concept in which Eminem never truly survived his opioid addiction, reminiscent of much of JuiceWrld's projects towards the end of his life. Knowing Eminem was a big fan of JW, I would be remiss if I did not mention that simple fact. Em also respects J Cole, who also made an album called "KOD" or "Kids on Drugs." These facts helps point to the direction in which Eminem wanted to paint this concept for his album, which is simply, the hypothetical situation in which Eminem died rather than having survived his opioid addiction. Considering opiods are still a huge problem within our communities, Eminem thus is making not only a project about rejecting wokeness, but he dovetails that idea with a more tangible problem of opioid misuse.
It’s not y’all’s fault cause as you said you’re not that clued up with Em’s history but in 2007 he nearly died from an overdose. Somebody save me is written from the perspective of a Marshall that died in 2007. He is a great dad by all accounts now, loved the vid👍🏻
Them last two songs (Temporary, Somebody Save Me) for Hailie and his family…man, it’s hard to muster up a single emotion for those tracks cuz he’s made those SAME songs like 100 times in the past and done them WAY better (Mockingbird, Going Through Changes, When I’m Gone, Castle, Arose, Deja Vu, etc)
An hour and 20? This bout to be a treat lol
I took Somebody Save Me as still being in the concept album. Looks like its a song to apologize for Slim Shady and how it affects hid kids life since he just killed Slim. I dont think thats something he's dealing with now. Every song after GC 2 seemd like he was trying to right any wrongs Slim caused.
I think yall so used to the heavy hitters yall be hating on the baby bars 😂
He’s not on drugs now Terrance, he’s apologizing for how he used to be, everyone knows he’s been sober for over a decade now
So I went and listened to his first albums after listening the this joint….he was WAY crazier back then, but more entertaining, like 97’ Bonnie and Clyde alone is a wild song but really good and story telling. Crazy good. I was like yall, not a Eminem fan like that but after taking the last few days actually listening to his first 2-3 albums. Makes since. Also P.S. his earlier albums seemed more hip hop than recently, it’s like he went pop/commercial rap
icl this reaction is a tough watch SIMPLY because of how lame i think this project is 😭 it's such a boring way to do the concepts he wanted to do imo. all the jenner bars, genz genz bars, cancel me bars, transgender bars, fat bars, disability bars like yoo we get it man lmfaooo no one is canceling you, no one cares about you being "offensive," it's just BORING man. it aint enough to rap your ass off because we already know you can do that, you just rapping boring shit lol something like guilty conscience 2 is actually an interesting way to explore the concept but it takes like 13 songs to get there
They were definitely trying to cancel him on tik tok wym? And honestly, the Jenner bars are hilarious because she supposed to be the face of transgenders and she’s killed someone and doesn’t even support her own ideologies. She straight up said she doesn’t support transgender people.
Not even gonna lie , only people I’m waiting on to review music.
The last track is from another perspective not how he is now, he already walked Hailie down the aile, love the reaction
Last song is about “if” he didn’t get it together. No way yall thinking he’s still popping pills lmao
sometimes im like "mallory bros are genius's" and other times im like "damn mallory bros are dummies"
The last song is from the perspective of if he didn’t get it together. All those things he rapped about he should’ve done, he actually did do
need that Pulp fiction Tshirt, where can i get it bro
Glad yall was speaking to how difficult of a project this would be to create. Shit was mind blowing
"Might delete later, the drake joint" ??? Cmon Terrell 😂
I'm only 20 minutes into your reaction but I'm glad to see you guys giving it an honest listen. I'm not an Eminem fan, but I've heard too many reviewers writing it off as garbage without giving it any fair analysis. I've only listened to half of the album so far, but the penmanship on the songs that I've heard are worthy of some respect.
Finally got the financials for realest 9 perfect timing
I think we need to elaborate more on that p did he DID HE PUT THE HIT OUT ON PAC AND BIGGIE YES And Cassie 👀 we need to start bashing diddy no cap he a fucking weirdo
The last song is about if he died from his overdose and couldn't make it to those events he is mentioning. He is rapping as if he died in 2007 when he overdosed.
He did that same exact concept better with Arose like 7 years ago
To be fair with the "Look for smoke with Lamar bro", is exactly what Kenny said to Drake "You better off spinnning again on him before you think about spinnin on me". I dont think its shade. No way you can tell me Kendrick was throwing shade at Push
SA = “Sexual Assault”
“So I hated might delete later” “ The drake joint” 😂😂😂
Terrance is being a little bitch and I’m only 4 songs in
Tbh I thought he was trolling like satire for ppl who actually say shit like that
That part when yall talked about Em poking at Kendrick, Kendrick kind of did the same thing when he said ‘ you better spinning on him before you thinking about pushing me” so should pusha take that as a slight as well?
Was about to comment the same thing. Definitely not a diss if you ask me. Unless something has changed, Em has already made it public that he think Dot is one of the best of this generation
I would like to remind everyone that Mariah Carey bodied that nigga Eminem in a beef lol
Not even close
babytronnnn mention let’s go😮💨
I shouldn't have laughed when brand new dance came on but I did
Brand New Dance is insane when you catch everything 😂 the horse sounds is crazy😂😂😂
Finalllyyyyy we here
Man where did that Pulp Fiction T come from
There’s no arguing bro can rap..but this “anti-woke” angle is so tired.
you must be Gen Z... makes sense.
Even worse than mtbmb in my opinion
Yo! Y’all need to try and level out the audio between the music and your commentary, the music is quite a bit louder. Kinda feels like when commercials are loud af for no reason. Keep up the good work 🤞🏼
Side note: I can do it for y’all if you need 🙏🏼
LETS GO
WE HERE
This album is entertainingly bad 😂
Ayeeeeee
Fire
Let's go!!!
this the only way im listening to eminem in 2024
Whole 9 back on!!!
Finally ! Back to the bar reviews
Color grading on this tuff🔥 (shoutout whoever, dont wanna assume😂)
Been waiting on this!! This is actually the first Eminem project I anticipated and went above and beyond my expectations! The concept of what if Slim came through a portal from 2002 and saw how the world is and wanted to bring that 2002 energy into today’s society…love it!!!
WE HERE REALEST 9
LETS FUCKING GO 9
