Warning: the tracks on the “death of slim shady” may not make sense if listened to in the wrong sequence since the album is conceptual. Have fun.
They say you should play the new album in reverse to hear Slim Shady’s resurrection rather than his death, as it would make the record about something else entirely.
While I remain uncertain, it seems that a Twitter user going by the handle @Pecora_boy123, who is an ardent Eminem fan, has the facts all worked out in their head.
It seems that the last track of the album, “Somebody Save Me,” is now a premonition of Eminem’s demise; then Slim Shady appears, and he gains control when Marshall Mathers leaves.
When played backwards, the album’s tracks flip positions, and “Renaissance”—a rebirth for Slim S This has caused some to believe that the album may include a “side B” that expands on this concept and releases further music to disprove Slim Shady’s demise.
