Jul 13, 2024 The album is supposed to be in REVERSE! Or, it works in reverse as well, hear me out. Houdini, one last trick, he promised us Magic. And this is the trick. Somebody Save Me: Marshall apoligizing Guess who’s back: Ken kaniff, guess who’s back Tobey: same Em mad about not being called the goat Bad One: talking about his accomplishments, people copying him, says he wants to throw jabs at MGK, refers to jelly roll Temporary: a song ”if I die” Head Honcho: Em being Em, spirals at the end the beat starts reversing at 3.19. Slim entering the chat? ”You taming me aint happening” Guilty Conscience 2: Em vs Slim, here he says he wants to squash it with MGK and the rest. Why would he say that and THEN go and say he wants to throw jabs at MGK later? In this order it makes sense. slim sedates marshall. ends with him waking up calling Paul,(actually not waking up, he just entered the dream) ”You not going to believe this, had this dream of old me took over new me” Breaking news: ”I’m about to show you something” Houdini: Paul calling back to Em, your on your own. Slim enters the Portal. Ends ”just like that I’m back” Road rage: immediately being controversial, Slim taking control. ”what you doing? Dying our hair” Fuel: going harder, Antichrist: slim , ends with bizarre Lucifer: talking about the coup de Grâce Em mentioned in GC2, ends with saying Dre is the producer of AntiChrist (slim shady) the fact that Dre is Indeed not the producer of the song Antichrist also speaks for this. All you got: ”how many time you try to k--- me, I always come back, I am all you got” Evil: starts with wanting to start a feud with Dre. Ends with ”obvious im not like other people” Brand new dance: obvious old slim, a song clearly noone else could make, ends with Em waking up. So Em have been dreaming the Slim stuff since he thought he ”woke up” after GC2 Trouble: begins with Em just woke up for real, now it’s no longer a dream. He gets forced to drink something. It’s kind of a continous of the end of GC2. And they start verbally fighting again just like in GC2. ”You thought you were dreaming huh?” Habits: ”take This or I put a bullet between ur eyes (coup de Grâce)” song about addicted to Slim. And that they need eachother. Marshall without Slim is cringe and boring. Slim without Marshall is just obvious controversial with no point. That’s why they split the pill. Renaissance: spits on the grave and The perfect balance grows back.. not Marshall, not slim. But Eminem. The eminem show vibe. Next album will continue from Renaissance. The Eminem Show 2. The Eminem Final. just a theory!! but before you knock it off, listen to it in that order and tell me it doesnt make perfect sense. I made a Playlist, The rebirth of Eminem, where it is in that order, try it out. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0oCV3uwQsvmodmtPXLtFRh?si=rZEhM62vQX2InvoEaArung&pi=e-SqaYp30ZRwiM
Jul 13, 2024 yes!!! 100% agree ... i knew there was more to it, because it goes through his periods of style. I agree with this dude. well done. It starts with the end, 100%.
Jul 13, 2024 that's why it feels like filler at the end too ... looking at the songs in reverse now, genius.
Jul 13, 2024 right? I mean what would be the point to make a whole album to k--- slim just to end with songs that sounds exactly like what he been producing lately, with Tobey, somebody save me, etc. Maybe it will be that as a listener you get to decide. Either you listen to it chronologically, getting an ending where Marshall wins, and it’s just like Bruce banner with no Hulk. Or in reverse and we get the ending where Bruce Banner can control when he needs hulk
Jul 13, 2024 yeah, check the Playlist I made, I listened to it in reverse once and now I can’t listen to it in any other order.
Jul 13, 2024 He even says on Somebody Save Me. Something like : In an alternative reality, turn it around...
Jul 13, 2024 I agree and I think tracks 13 to 11 are key, here is my interpretation 13. Guilty Conscience 2 Marshall (Eminem) attempts to k--- his bad side (Shady) in a murder-suicide. He wakes up thinking he succeeded, but Shady's laughter reveals Shady still controls him, emphasized by the "Breaking News" skit. 12. Breaking News – Skit A news segment reveals Shady has "kidnapped" Eminem, signifying Shady's full control and his plan to release an album to cancel Eminem, using the very culture Eminem thought would destroy Shady. 11. Houdini Opens with the iconic "Guess Who's Back" line, marking Shady's complete takeover. He is now in full control, and the audience sees the extent of his power and influence. Eminem is trapped, unable to break free from the persona he created. The album’s theme is captured in the line: “Cause you’re never gon’ see me, caught sleepin and see the kidnappin never did happen, like Sherri Papini, Harry Houdini, I vanish into the thin air as I’m leaving”. It has multiple interpretations: Disappearance: Referencing Houdini, the master escape artist, symbolizes Shady's ability to disappear and reappear at will. Shady can never truly be eliminated, always returning to influence Eminem. Illusion and Deception: The mention of Sherri Papini's hoax and Houdini's escapism suggests themes of illusion and deception. Shady's presence is like a trick that Eminem cannot get rid off. Ultimate Control: Shady's ability to evade capture signifies his control over Eminem. No matter how hard Eminem tries to escape Shady, he remains a powerful force, ready to exert his influence and jeopardize Eminem’s career. 1. Renaissance In the final chapter, Eminem believes he has defeated Shady. However, Shady redirects cancel culture onto Eminem, revealing his last trick. Despite thinking Shady is dead, Eminem faces a new battle against public perception. The "Renaissance" signifies a rebirth through adversity as Eminem seeks to reclaim his identity and legacy.
Jul 13, 2024 Tyler the creator liked this post, I’m just going to live in denial that it was the real Tyler.
Jul 13, 2024 I saw someone post that shipping doesnt start until Sep 13. And it was odd. is it a clue? Sep 13 is a friday, for no reason would you start shipping on a friday. Also, friday the 13th. Is part 2 or the second album coming friday the 13th? Jason mask!
Jul 13, 2024 Another Clue: head Honcho + tobey, both having Em with the last verse, feels a bit reversed, usually you start.
Jul 13, 2024 Tobeys melody bleeds into guess who’s back though? And happens on other tracks too. Still a great theory.
Jul 13, 2024 I see people are only now catching up with the "play it backwards" thing. 12 hours before the album even dropped I wrote a post where I speculated about it but nobody replied or anything lol. @jankland is a real one tho!
