FHD IS THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME. GOAT INTRO (f--- TUSCAN LEATHER). JAN 28TH THRU '03 ADOLESCENCE IS CLASSIC COLE (CHANNELLING NAS, KANYE & PAC). TWO CITIEZ AND FIRE SQUAD ARE NOTHING BUT THE REALEST BARS AND IMPECCIBLE FLOWS IN THE GAME. ST TROPEZ AND GOMD ARE MORE EXPERIMENTAL THAN PRINCE AND PAUL MCARTNEY SHARING LSD IN A STUDIO SESSION. NO ROLL MODELZ THRU APPARENTLY IS A SONIC AND NARITIVE PROGRESSION ONLY RIVALED BY A HYPOTHETICAL COMBINATION OF STEVIE WONDER AND ERNEST HEMMINGWAY. LOVE YOURZ IS THE MOST SENTIMENTAL HIP-HOP RECORD EVER MADE (f--- TO ZION). AND NOTE TO SELF IS SOME KIND OF RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE BLENDED WITH A STANDUP ROUTINE, LIKE COLE IS THE POPE JOHN PAUL MOONEY THE THIRD OF THE RAP GAME. COLE THE GUY IS THE SEVEN FIGURE n----- WITH THE GAME IN FIGURE FOUR. CHURCH.

The Death of Slim Shady Review

1. RENAISSANCE- 7.5/10
I love the horror movie vibe of the intro and beat, em comes out firing. The not give a f---, sell a bit line is awesome. Wish it was longer though by about a minute.

2. HABITS- 8/10
Great song, white gold kills the chrous. The production is awesome and eminem sounds great on this song. The south park stuff is a nice touch with the theme of the album.

3. TROUBLE- 8/10
I wish this was longer, so much longer.

4. BRAND NEW DANCE- 9/10
Quick note my dad and I used to listen to encore all the time, my dad loved that album especially the goofy s---. I sent him this song Friday morning and he loved it. This song is just pure nostalgia so I love it. Eminem sounds great on weird beats like this. The grand maul seizure line is stuck in my head for some reason lol

5. EVIL- 9/10
The chrous is awesome, this sounds like prime eminem for the most part. The part where he picks up speed is really good on here. Doesn't overdo it.

6. ALL YOU GOT- 7/10
Skit still cool though, how many times you try to k--- me?

7. LUCIFER 9.5/10
I first heard this song back in March 2023 when I changed my name to lucifier. My cousin Paul got mad at me though, so I changed my name when the option became available .
Anyways love the Alfred intro, the beat is awesome and eminem kills this song. In the trenches like the columbine shooters is a nice throwback to other lyrics he's made about it.
The amber heard line is hilarious too!

8. ANTICHRIST- 9/10
Em keeps cooking, the chrous on this is awesome. I laughed that people were praising bizarre on here, his Amityville verse is WAY better.

9. FUEL- 9/10
JID kills it, eminem continues killing it. The Diddy s--- on this song is awesome wordplay. My first listen at this point I was like holy f--- this albums amazing. Wasn't expecting it to be this good at the halfway point.

10. ROAD RAGE- 6.5/10
A minor speed bump, I think the content is funny I just don't know that I love the song or even really like it. I probably would have left this off or went a different direction for this one.

11. HOUDINI- 8/10
Catchy and fun, still really enjoy listening to it.

12. BREAKING NEWS- 7/10
I actually watched the Detroit4 news reporter talking about em getting him to do this. Says he's been in eminems studio 4 times over the past few years doing stuff for him and was happy this one got used.

13. GUILTY CONSCIENCE 2- 8.5/10
Crazy back and forth between em and slim, I feel like having dre in this argument might have made it a 10. Would have been fun having slim throw some shade at dre for the song that went too far. Could have thrown some insults at dre like on the original and em being like dre made us or some s---. Still a good song.

14. HEAD HONCHO- 7/10
Ez Mil held his own in my opinion, didn't like the different language stuff though. Seemed kinda forced. Ems verse is good though.

15. TEMPORARY- 8.5/10
Skylar kills it, I love the home recordings, I love the idea of this song. It's a really sweet song and a nice little change of pace. I'm hoping if shady is really gone em becomes more vulnerable on his albums and opens up about more things in his career besides family stuff.

16. BAD ONE- 7.5/10
The Beat is awesome and white gold kills it again. I feel like this song is the safest song on the album, just feels like em can make songs like this in his sleep.

17. TOBEY- 5/10
I don't like babytron, he's a---. He actually f---ing sucks, kids these days will accept anything, I'm better than babytron. Big Sean's verse and ems verses are good, this song just doesn't do much for me and the music video sucks.

18. GUESS WHOSE BACK- 6/10
Ken wasn't as creative as he could have been, still a nice touch

19. SOMEBODY SAVE ME- 7.5/10
The slurring home recording at the start makes me sad, it's crazy to think someone I grew up idolizing was that f----- up at one point.
I love jelly roll, he's got a great voice and was a big fan of "save me" when it came out.
Ems sorta covered this topic already with the end of revival but I still love how open and vulnerable he is on songs like this.

OVERALL RATING: 8.5/10

Really fun first listen and I've listened like 15 times now lol the one super underrated thing about this album is that every song bleeds into the other very impressively. Definitely hoping we get a side B or deluxe of sort because I do feel like for a 4.5 year hiatus it doesn't seem like a lot for some reason.

One random DMX memory I have is from high school. So it had to be 2001 or 2002, after The Great Depression dropped. I was in an elective class called Leadership. Teacher wanted us to pick a song, play it for the class. Of course I picked a Dilated Peoples song on some nerd s---. But this one autistic, Asian kid named Charles (if memory serves), picked “Who We Be” and he actually performed it in front of the class. N words and all, even the hook. Everyone was just flabbergasted and laughing.

Jul 7, 2024

Alright I've decided I'll go this week even though that f---ing a------ eminem is gonna ruin my week lol
Grew up on this album, I dunno how well received this album will be but im gonna throw it up there
I honestly feel like this album covers so many of the issues in society, it did back in the 90s when it was released and it still does today

The first punk album of album of the week

@AOTWClub

The Offspring- Americana



I will tally up Clairo same as usual on Tuesday

Hope you guys enjoy the album, was one of the first I bought as a kid and didn't understand the lyrics and now I'm like s--- so much of this is relatable

"Irv Gotti: When the album came out, he had a legendary show at the Apollo. He tore that s--- down, and he ended with “Prayer,” and started crying. And when he closes with the lines, “So if it takes for me to suffer, for my brother to see the light, give me pain ‘til I die, but please, Lord, treat him right,” and threw up the X with his arms, there was hood n----- and b------s in there crying. Every MFer in the Apollo had the X up with him and they were crying. He was like, “I love y’all n----. I love my n-----.” He’s telling everyone in the audience “I love y’all.” I was on stage behind him, and I was like, god man. That’s DMX, man. Artists don’t have a connection like that. He’s in your heart. He’s in your f---ing heart."

I understand he never came out and said the date it's coming out, but you would think he'd say something by now. He really looks like a D bag.
