Reacting to "The Death of Slim Shady" by Eminem
At the very end, I do a reaction to the "Not Like Us" music video as well (see time stamp). I'll post that to YouTube as well though, so however you wish to watch that.
Wild ride, y'all. Enjoy!

You should listen to the full jelly roll song, it’s a great song
Please react to mmlp2 ! Alot more insight into his life there, and a bit easier to listen to. Deluxe version!!
You should definitely go back and listen to Eminem Show, Bob!
Hey Bob. When you were showing off the albums you owned of him, i realised you didn't have The Eminem Show. I think you should eventually check it out. I'm sure this is an album of his you'll actually like. Other than 1 (maybe 2 arguably) songs, there isn't any Slim Shady. He also doesn't rap fast in that album and approaches it with a much more steady and "slow" rhythmic flow. The production on that album is amazing and the lyrical content too, so I think you'll enjoy that album because it has what you're asking for : a lot less shock value and no "fast" rapping. There are also a few songs where you hear grit and anger in his voice which is a critique you've said you wished there was more of in rap. To entice you further, one of the songs has an Aerosmith sample and a guitar solo from one of their guitarists which I know you'll love.
Vocally he's more like a snare drum. Where I here Kendrick more like toms. With more inflection changes and space.
In terms of him maturing as an artist and as a human, he has. This is very different from any of his recent albums where he's not doing most of this. It's literally him bringing back his whole edgy persona from the 00's kind of in an attempt to show that it's outdated and doesn't really work anymore. He's mainly doing this for fan service for all the people saying he fell off and they miss the old Slim Shady version of Em. This isn't "just who Eminem is" at all
Hearing that you almost did 4eva is mighty long time and that it is probs coming soon AHHHHHH. I can't wait. It's never left my rotation since coming out in 2017 so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do
I like the album but I always respect if you don’t. But I do think you should get rid of the chat. Your audience has a tendency to try to sway your opinions which gets annoying.
Brand New Dance reaction was hilarious
Bob the world needs a babytron album reaction, itll be super out of your comfort zone and theres some lines that are much more creative then people give him credit for. Preferablly an older album like Bin Reaper 2 or megatron, theyre higher quality front to back.
Ur Spitting!
This is the most awesome dynamic of Bob The Pop Pop, reacting as a concerned Pop to an artist older than him. 😂Welcome to 2024! 😂
Lmao watching Bob fumble with trying to grasp the intention of the album and accidentally become the very person Em is making fun of is kind of hilarious. Like Bob is trying to wrestle with Em's "views" on transgender people the whole time without realizing none of this is how he feels at all and the whole thing is him resurrecting this outdated cringelord dinosaur of a persona specifically to show people why it doesn't work anymore. Bob clutching his pearls over it is so unintentionally funny.
Yeah, I've seen so many people think Em actually thinks this shit.
I would love to see an Eminem Show or Marshall Mathers LP reaction, classics in his discography.
I think this is a pretty good album in terms of production, flow and hooks. In fact, I really, really like it. But the cancel culture shit does get old after 3-4 songs, at which you are ready for Em to talk about something else. If you aren't completely sour on Em after this, do go back and listen to/revisit Eminem Show or Marshall Mathers LP. I think you will like them more than this. And yeah, the chat (which I was a part of) does get annoying at times. There is an overwhelming negativity towards everything that doesn't fall within very specific parameters. I think I like your non-live reactions better, as all the people yelling "THIS SUCKS" incessantly in the background kinda distracts from just taking in the music.
Yeah that chat was annoying lmao
My favorite part of the video is in the first song Bob wonders aloud why people click on things they hate and then proceeds to have a 2.5 hour video of people hating the album in chat the whole time.
shoulda listened to his discography in chronological order then you woulda loved it i promise. but that chance is gone, you prolly wont give him another chance and just hop on the comfortable hate train. thats just sad man. just know that your community is an echo chamber fyi.
Knowing what the concept is doesn't redeem the album, the hooks are still a low point and the beats are still unappealing (Brand New Dance deserves the criticism it got here). Listening to his eleven albums would not save this album, speaking as someone that's heard his discography. Hell Bob is better off not hearing some of those albums, Revival is significantly worse than this one.
Will you get back to Brockhampton soon? Everything until Roadrunner is amazing
It makes sense that you dont like the album as it doesnt really make sense if you dont get the self referential satire and -critique part of the album
It's a self referential album. A concept album that satirizes slim shady the character. you dont get it cause you dont know the guys catalogue and you completely misread his intention and angle
I would say this as an em fan, but no… he completely abandons the idea of the album for some reason. Though im not really surprised as this is ems first conceptual album, so it is what it is. 🫡
thanks for the vid bob. I think what someone in the chat said about Andre not rapping anymore because he doesn't have much to say at his age was a valid comparison to how i feel about Eminem's recent albums. His technical skill is obviously undeniable and he has a legendary three album run in his career, but still making Jenner jokes in 2024 is just a bit boring. Eminem can still give us some edge, and the one time I felt it was the punchline on Diddy beating Cassie, but he censored out Cassie's name?? How can you have an album where you're TRYING to get cancelled and the one thing that would actually PUSH that boundary is censored out?
He does have something to say on here though, it's satirical and meta. It's an album about the slim shady character.
The chat was insufferable the entire video. I completely understand this not being for everyone, but the whining and bitching the whole time. Weird to me people love to complain about shit they don’t like rather than just not listen
Preach
You even complained about Kendrick lmao Whole reaction is complaining Didn’t think you were this sensitive.
When did he complain about Kendrick lmao
