He's one of these people who obviously 15 00:00:55,853 --> 00:00:58,453 Speaker 2: devise people in terms of his music. But I think 16 00:00:58,693 --> 00:01:00,733 Speaker 2: you'd have to be a pretty miserable person to listen 17 00:01:00,773 --> 00:01:03,693 Speaker 2: to Slim Shady and listen to Eminem and not agree 18 00:01:03,733 --> 00:01:05,293 Speaker 2: that he has a really profound talent. 19 00:01:06,653 --> 00:01:10,653 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, that's what is evident in this album. So 20 00:01:10,893 --> 00:01:13,333 Speaker 3: you've gone back to this place where you're like, WHOA 21 00:01:13,333 --> 00:01:16,893 Speaker 3: this dude can still do those rap belts that he 22 00:01:16,973 --> 00:01:19,613 Speaker 3: does where it's so fast you're like, where does he 23 00:01:19,653 --> 00:01:23,053 Speaker 3: even breathe? So he still has all of that going 24 00:01:23,093 --> 00:01:25,453 Speaker 3: on in here, and then he has those catchy like 25 00:01:25,493 --> 00:01:28,973 Speaker 3: that tune their brand new dance typical shady A like 26 00:01:29,013 --> 00:01:31,973 Speaker 3: it's catchy beat the Matlady. You're kind of getting taken 27 00:01:32,013 --> 00:01:34,013 Speaker 3: away with it and you're like, oh man, this is 28 00:01:34,093 --> 00:01:36,133 Speaker 3: kind of fun and it sounds innocent. 29 00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:38,933 Speaker 4: And then you're like he's just bagging Christopher Reeves again, 30 00:01:40,453 --> 00:01:43,373 Speaker 4: like oh my gosh, you're going to go back there, 31 00:01:43,453 --> 00:01:48,013 Speaker 4: but with some other I don't know, he has clever wordplay. 32 00:01:47,853 --> 00:01:50,693 Speaker 3: And so that's still very evidence in slim Shady as well. 33 00:01:50,773 --> 00:01:53,573 Speaker 3: And I think if you just revisit this, because this 34 00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,893 Speaker 3: is the whole chat about to day, like, ye, the 35 00:01:55,933 --> 00:01:59,133 Speaker 3: world is different since nineteen ninety nine, so can you 36 00:01:59,173 --> 00:02:02,533 Speaker 3: still say the same stuff and get away with it? 37 00:02:02,613 --> 00:02:04,813 Speaker 3: And then if you think slim Shady is an alter ego, 38 00:02:05,373 --> 00:02:08,733 Speaker 3: is that what then makes it okay to say some 39 00:02:08,853 --> 00:02:11,173 Speaker 3: of the stuff. So this is the final blow, right, 40 00:02:11,253 --> 00:02:13,733 Speaker 3: this is the album that's meant to take out slim Shady, 41 00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:16,133 Speaker 3: but it kind of leaves you going, does it. 42 00:02:17,733 --> 00:02:18,013 Speaker 4: For me? 43 00:02:18,093 --> 00:02:21,453 Speaker 3: Anyway? He has advised. Eminem has advised that you should 44 00:02:21,453 --> 00:02:24,013 Speaker 3: listen from start to finish. So since like, you know, 45 00:02:24,093 --> 00:02:26,173 Speaker 3: midnight last night when it finally came out. 46 00:02:28,093 --> 00:02:29,213 Speaker 2: You've been working hard. 47 00:02:29,413 --> 00:02:33,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing like went into your child goes to bed, 48 00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:34,333 Speaker 3: and then I'm like, wow, she's going to hear these 49 00:02:34,333 --> 00:02:37,973 Speaker 3: words eventually, so why not on a Saturday morning at 50 00:02:37,973 --> 00:02:38,413 Speaker 3: our house. 51 00:02:40,213 --> 00:02:40,413 Speaker 4: Yeah. 52 00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:43,053 Speaker 3: It's a real interesting listen for the fact that I 53 00:02:43,053 --> 00:02:45,453 Speaker 3: think you can innocently listen to it for all the 54 00:02:45,533 --> 00:02:49,453 Speaker 3: clever beats and you know, the production work where you're like, oh, 55 00:02:49,533 --> 00:02:53,373 Speaker 3: that's so catchy, and he uses threads from past music 56 00:02:53,413 --> 00:02:56,093 Speaker 3: and albums, so it's like got that nostalgia vibe about 57 00:02:56,133 --> 00:03:00,213 Speaker 3: it that brings you in. There's a track called Lucifer 58 00:03:00,373 --> 00:03:04,293 Speaker 3: and it's got like this little looped rhythm melody that's 59 00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:07,053 Speaker 3: going through it that sounds like you're my Greek wedding, 60 00:03:07,093 --> 00:03:08,293 Speaker 3: like something off the movie. 61 00:03:08,973 --> 00:03:11,333 Speaker 4: And so again you're like, oh gosh, this is so catchy. 62 00:03:11,453 --> 00:03:15,173 Speaker 3: And then he's just just sing on political commentator Kendice Owens. 63 00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:17,213 Speaker 4: And Mega. 64 00:03:17,293 --> 00:03:20,013 Speaker 3: So you know, like I think that's the thing about 65 00:03:20,053 --> 00:03:22,133 Speaker 3: Slim Shady. You kind of can delve a little deeper 66 00:03:22,173 --> 00:03:25,693 Speaker 3: every time you sort of listen to it. Who Deni 67 00:03:25,933 --> 00:03:28,493 Speaker 3: is one of the first singles he released in anticipation 68 00:03:28,613 --> 00:03:33,853 Speaker 3: of this album coming out. He incorporates Ebraca Debra, which 69 00:03:33,853 --> 00:03:35,413 Speaker 3: I think we're going to play some of from Steve 70 00:03:35,493 --> 00:03:37,813 Speaker 3: Miller games. And when I just say it like that, 71 00:03:37,933 --> 00:03:40,373 Speaker 3: you'll be like what. But as soon as you Abra 72 00:03:40,653 --> 00:03:45,013 Speaker 3: Cabra Na Nana and Steve Miller is all like, yes, 73 00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:48,493 Speaker 3: Eminem totally use one of my songs. He called them 74 00:03:48,493 --> 00:03:52,453 Speaker 3: one of those timeless originators who can take classics, put 75 00:03:52,453 --> 00:03:55,333 Speaker 3: their own spin on them and use them, but also 76 00:03:55,533 --> 00:03:58,093 Speaker 3: knows to credit the person who originally did it as 77 00:03:58,093 --> 00:04:02,413 Speaker 3: a post that it's ripping stuff off. Yeah, he's very aware, 78 00:04:02,453 --> 00:04:07,013 Speaker 3: isn't He likes Eminem slim shady Marshall methods. He's very 79 00:04:07,053 --> 00:04:11,973 Speaker 3: aware of what's socially around, what's politically around, what's going 80 00:04:11,973 --> 00:04:15,293 Speaker 3: on on TikTok, what's going on on social media, because 81 00:04:15,333 --> 00:04:17,133 Speaker 3: then he just puts it all in to his album 82 00:04:17,933 --> 00:04:20,213 Speaker 3: and then randomly, halfway through the album gets emotional about 83 00:04:20,213 --> 00:04:22,013 Speaker 3: his daughter and you go back to one of those 84 00:04:22,053 --> 00:04:22,893 Speaker 3: places you know where he. 85 00:04:22,893 --> 00:04:29,613 Speaker 2: Pens seems really like amazingly well rounded and normal. Is 86 00:04:29,653 --> 00:04:35,253 Speaker 2: that fair age another world yeah, where you're like, oh man, oh, 87 00:04:35,373 --> 00:04:38,613 Speaker 2: you know, Eminem's probably have had a pretty crazy life, 88 00:04:38,653 --> 00:04:39,893 Speaker 2: but she just seems really cool. 89 00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:43,733 Speaker 3: Well maybe she's just had some other really normal people 90 00:04:43,773 --> 00:04:47,373 Speaker 3: behind the scenes to help and guide the way. She's 91 00:04:47,413 --> 00:04:48,853 Speaker 3: been able to see her dad for who he is. 92 00:04:49,013 --> 00:04:50,853 Speaker 3: I think that's the other thing, though. He's never shied 93 00:04:50,893 --> 00:04:52,973 Speaker 3: away from who he is totally, and he's given that 94 00:04:53,013 --> 00:04:55,653 Speaker 3: exactly to his kids, and he apologizes it for it 95 00:04:55,693 --> 00:04:59,573 Speaker 3: profusely in nearly every single album. Yeah, but it's funny, 96 00:04:59,653 --> 00:05:01,213 Speaker 3: right because he's getting taken away with some of these 97 00:05:01,213 --> 00:05:04,253 Speaker 3: real big slams and then suddenly you get all emotional 98 00:05:04,253 --> 00:05:06,573 Speaker 3: and this vulnerable layer comes out. And he finished the 99 00:05:06,613 --> 00:05:08,453 Speaker 3: album like that as well, which I think is supposed 100 00:05:08,493 --> 00:05:13,133 Speaker 3: to be that final see your latest Sliming, But I 101 00:05:13,173 --> 00:05:15,573 Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, this is just an album where 102 00:05:15,573 --> 00:05:19,413 Speaker 3: he's like, he's just spitting out stuff about you know, 103 00:05:19,533 --> 00:05:23,733 Speaker 3: the woke society, and there's so many references about Caitlyn 104 00:05:23,813 --> 00:05:27,453 Speaker 3: Jenner and also being gay, and I'm like, I don't 105 00:05:27,533 --> 00:05:32,453 Speaker 3: what's the thing with Tena and yeah and the whole 106 00:05:32,493 --> 00:05:34,373 Speaker 3: I'm willing to accept people, but do we have to 107 00:05:34,413 --> 00:05:37,973 Speaker 3: be so woke about it with all the different pronouns 108 00:05:37,973 --> 00:05:39,613 Speaker 3: and things like that. And then I'm like that again, 109 00:05:39,693 --> 00:05:41,213 Speaker 3: is that just because Slim Shady can get away of 110 00:05:41,213 --> 00:05:44,853 Speaker 3: saying that he has arguments with himself in the album Eminem? 111 00:05:44,893 --> 00:05:48,013 Speaker 2: It sounds at the very least like it's like worth 112 00:05:48,053 --> 00:05:50,093 Speaker 2: listening just from that kind of conceptual perspective. So what 113 00:05:50,373 --> 00:05:50,893 Speaker 2: did you give it? 114 00:05:51,533 --> 00:05:53,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm giving it a seven out of ten. Some 115 00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:56,533 Speaker 3: are saying his best album ever. I'm not quite there. Yeah, 116 00:05:56,573 --> 00:05:59,253 Speaker 3: I think I still love nineteen ninety nine slim Shady, 117 00:05:59,453 --> 00:06:02,413 Speaker 3: but he's still clever, and he's still incredible with the 118 00:06:02,493 --> 00:06:04,373 Speaker 3: co labs and the work that he does. And I think, 119 00:06:04,973 --> 00:06:06,733 Speaker 3: just out of social interest, you want to hear it, 120 00:06:06,773 --> 00:06:07,093 Speaker 3: you know. 121 00:06:07,093 --> 00:06:09,173 Speaker 2: And even if it's the death of slim Shady, he 122 00:06:09,253 --> 00:06:13,013 Speaker 2: can still release music at Eminem, right because. 123 00:06:12,693 --> 00:06:16,373 Speaker 3: It caricature, that's right, And it's a caricature your alter ego, Like, 124 00:06:16,453 --> 00:06:19,013 Speaker 3: don't mean, can I want to just escapism? Yeah, So 125 00:06:19,053 --> 00:06:21,653 Speaker 3: we shouldn't take it so seriously, like there's always that 126 00:06:21,773 --> 00:06:23,853 Speaker 3: thing for me. Is he being serious or has he 127 00:06:23,973 --> 00:06:25,933 Speaker 3: just been so tongue in shit provocative? 128 00:06:26,373 --> 00:06:28,293 Speaker 4: Yeah? Okay, he wants to poke. 129 00:06:28,413 --> 00:06:30,213 Speaker 3: He wants to poke the beer. He's poking the beer 130 00:06:30,253 --> 00:06:31,773 Speaker 3: as a seven out of ten, very. 131 00:06:31,573 --> 00:06:35,213 Speaker 2: Good, Thank you so much.
