MMLP, TES, 2001, Ready to Die were the first hip hop albums I dug into. And I already had a knack for it beforehand hearing 50 on the radio and popular rap tracks in the 2000s, but I didn’t know where to start

One of my favorite modern rappers along with Uzi. Kodak is an underrated spitter too. But Uzi and Juice’s knack for pop melodies combined with rapping is just up my alley.

I even enjoy Carti’s minimalist rap style but I feel like outside of him, no one pulls it off without coming off super pedestrian

Also shoutout to Weezy. Love watching his rhyme scheme breakdowns on YouTube. His Bloody Mary verse with Juelz over one of the greatest rap beats of the 90s

Lots of people missing the concept

I’m seeing online reviews and comments about the album but haven’t seen one which accurately described the concept I wanted to lay it out:

Marshall is older and matured. He had kids that graduated college and even an adopted non-binary child. He’s pretty progressive tbh.

His youth (Slim Shady) still is a part of him and he acknowledges that brought him fame. He’s inescapably tied to his past.

To allow himself to fully mature and put the past (Slim) to rest, Marshall devises a plan to use our current “cancel culture” to kill off Slim Shady, even if it destroys their combined career.

Throughout the album he “punches down” to achieve this goal, culminating in a confrontation between his two personas during Guilty Conscience 2. At the end of this song he accomplishes his goal and kills his old self, possibly taking himself down in the process.

After this song, his album lyrics become more grown up since Slim is dead. This is why he mentioned in social media "Some of the songs won't make sense if you listen out of order."

I haven’t seen anyone address his use of “cancel culture” as a weapon that he wields against his old persona. While he complains about it, he also sees it as a gift that allows him to shed his old persona and finally mature into the rapper/man who he wants to be.
