Eminem this week released his Death of Slim Shady album and it’s divided people across the world.

Some calling for Eminem to be cancelled after lyrics consisting of disabled people and transgender rights send the woke mob into a shivering frenzy but those who are giving Death of Slim Shady a bad review are just further proving the reaction Shady wanted.
Eminem wanted this album to divide, the whole concept of the album is the death of Slim Shady, a give no f**ks rapper who wouldn’t be able to get away with his no-filter approach in modern times. It’s throughout the album that Eminem (modern time) and Slim Shady (a simpler time) do battle and Guilty Conscience 2 is the perfect track to highlight this back and forth.
But whilst that’s the surface-level approach the Death of Slim Shady album is Eminem at battle with himself using his Slim Shady persona to reflect his inner demons and this constant battle with himself throughout the album as his drug struggles are highlighted throughout the song it culminates in a love letter to his family in ‘Somebody Save Me’. 
Those who getting offended at this album are the same idiots moaning and bitching over things they’ll never change. There’s no intended disrespect woven within the words, it’s a comedy reflection similar to that of a Ricky Gervais standup, they’re just words, it isn’t that deep.
In a world where people are scared to say just about anything nowadays Eminem has taken the mic and dropped an anti-snowflake album that we have so desperately been calling out for.
From movies to TV and music especially everything is now censored and toned down to pander to this watered-down generation of soft people.
Eminem says f**k that and delivers this incredible album that whilst throws the toys out of the pram and putting a middle finger up to today’s society he knows that Slim Shady is no more, this one last outing, this one last goodbye as Slim Shady lyrics sadly can’t stay afloat for long in today’s generation.
Taking one on the chin for all the outspoken people of the world The Death of Slim Shady is a beautiful album with many winks and nods to albums of old.
Easter eggs within music videos such as Houdini to ‘When I’m Gone’ wink and nods scattered within a song or two.
Em is the greatest rapper of all time, the way he delivers his lyrics more often than not having multiple double entendres is just so smart. No rapper alive nowadays even comes close and I don’t care if you disagree or not, I know in my heart I’m not wrong.
Whilst this may very well be Em’s last album he salutes and says goodbye to Slim Shady in what feels like more than an album, but a tribute and a memory of a better time in my own life. An easier time.
It seems like we’ve now met the real Slim Shady, it’s just a shame that now the Slim Shady we notoriously know for standing up is now sitting down.
