    1. **Early Success of Slim Shady**: Eminem's alter ego Slim Shady emerged in the late 1990s with his second studio album, "The Slim Shady LP," which gained widespread attention for its provocative lyrics and dark humor.

    2. **Controversies and Criticisms**: Slim Shady's persona often courted controversy due to his explicit lyrics and themes of violence, drug use, and misogyny. Critics and social commentators have raised concerns about the impact of Slim Shady's character on impressionable audiences.

    3. **Personal Growth and Evolution**: Over the years, Eminem has undergone personal growth and transformation, publicly addressing his struggles with addiction, mental health, and maturing as an artist and individual.

    4. **Mature Artistic Output**: Eminem's later albums, such as "Recovery" and "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," showcased a more mature and introspective side of the artist, with less reliance on the Slim Shady persona.

    5. **Changing Cultural Landscape**: As societal norms evolve and conversations around mental health, social justice, and responsible media representation gain prominence, the shock value and edginess associated with Slim Shady may no longer resonate with audiences in the same way.

    6. **Legacy Considerations**: Eminem's legacy as an artist and cultural figure may benefit from a deliberate transition away from the Slim Shady persona, allowing him to be remembered for his entire body of work and contributions to hip-hop, rather than just one facet of his career.

    7. **Opportunities for New Artistic Exploration**: Ending the Slim Shady persona could open up new avenues for Eminem to explore creatively and experiment with different themes, styles, and collaborations that may not align with the character's established persona.

    8. **Personal Well-being**: Eminem's continued association with the Slim Shady persona may also have personal implications for his mental health and well-being, as maintaining such an intense and controversial alter ego can be emotionally taxing over time.

    By considering these factors, Eminem may find it worthwhile to contemplate retiring the Slim Shady persona in favor of embracing new artistic directions and personal growth.

    all those others are lying for sure but @Dope Edit is legit. Believe it or not.
    He released unreleased instrumentals with extended outros and also gave info on songs that have been long in the making like Stepping Stone or Careful what you wish for.
    h---, there's even been an earlier version of it as an instrumental on his YouTube channel.

    A reminder: it's happening, the concept seems exciting, his team is actually doing a promo, everybody seems very confident about this album and I can't believe all of this!
