    The flat voice and bland delivery most of all killed any chance of that impression for me. In Deja Vu his detached approach to a very serious subject was much better executed, back when he naturally used his voice almost as a musical instrument in itself. In Black Magic (and in most Side B songs) he's basically just talking in this almost mumbling, monotone drone, and I don't find him convincing at all. The Colin Kaepernick line is another problem. Even if I try to look past the dryness of his vocals it immediately takes me right out of the song. He did the same thing in Little Engine, which came so close to being a decent nod to Encore and Relapse weirdness until he just had to go and ruin it by shouting out that pampered pube-headed little brat.

    But who the f--- wants a plain Eminem? He's not that great without shady I don't think anyway, I hope he could do more but time will tell

    I fear that the whole killing shady thing is just shock value that will amount to nothing, hopefully not but he never was good at following a concept all the way through

    Yeah there’s been quite a few. I’ve lost count now but there was a couple that were just revised versions of the same clone, like the one from 2002-2007.

    The current one was first seen in 2020.

    That’s always going to be the case now I’m afraid with the references, similes etc. because he thinks he’s in the middle of a rap battle no matter the subject-matter. I still think he did a good job in the circumstances, especially compared to Guns Blazing where he sounds like an actual AI program.

    He hasn’t been able to pull of the Shady gimmick since 2009 anyway so good riddance I say, it may actually allow him to focus on what’s ahead instead of always looking to the past.

    85% chance you’re right, but the references to this album have been circling around for years now with the whole “Eminem vs Slim Shady” ordeal so there is actual evidence he’s been working on it with the concept in mind for a long time rather than slapping it on in the end.
