This is his magnum opus. A lyrical masterclass. Eminem simply views vocabulary in a different manner. Packed with an overwhelming amount of "wow" moments, whether it be technique or subject matter.
There's something for everyone. Stans, hip hop enthusiasts, and a plethora of snippets for those who will post them on social media without context.
The narrative is a journey of Eminem struggling with his own addiction to his alter ego's incessant need to poke the hornets nest on a variety of controversial topics. While in turn, acknowledging Slim Shady cannot exists without the support of the public, and our own addiction to hear what he has to say.
The story continues until the climax in "guilty conscience 2" where eminem and slim finally confront each other with an epic tale of honesty and self-reflection.
Now that the seal is open, the narrative continues with Eminems reflection on the toll his addiction to both controversy and substance abuse has caused in his relationships with those closest to him.
Many will see the things they want to see in this album, whether good or bad. Eminem is not for the faint of spirit. Start to finish, this album is a quality piece of American art.
