Unless it's a Relapse Refill type situation idk if a part 2 would be a good idea tbh.

I'm guessing it will be like Refill.

Yes and no.

The way I see it it's a concept about Eminem as a rapper and his two characters that have formed him throughout the years coming at odds within Eminem's brain.

For the longest, Marshall (the good conscious) was able to surpress Shady (evil one) until Marshall became too comfortable and let Shady somewhat get ressurected on Renaissance. There he realizes where the game has gone and wants to take control of Eminem, the rapper, as a whole, because he was gone so long and doesn't like what everything has turned into (society, hiphop, Eminem's public perception and perception within the game) the last time he basically had the upper hand or was involved in the decision making, so to say.

So Habits is basically Eminem making a song but all of a sudden Shady comes back into light. The lines are starting to get blurred. I think here Shady is trying to insert himself back into Eminem's conscious and slowly starts taking the upper hand over the good conscious, Marshall. Both personas are prevelant on that track and at the end it's Shady taking over which then leads to Slim kidnapping Marshall. Mind you, this is all happening in Eminem's brain, so basicslly a story within a story, or a dream within a dream on some inception type of s***.

On Trouble, once Marshall is trapped by Shady, Shady basically tells Marshall why he is doing what he is doing. Trying to get Eminem cancelled by making a new album as retaliation for locking him far away within the brain and not letting him do his thing. He feels betrayed because he was the reason why Eminem became this popular in the first place.

The way I see it, Evil is actually a regular Eminem track where we jump out of the dream like state and Eminem starts to realize, or better think, that he might actually be an Evil person because Shady has inserted himself back into the fold.

Lucifer is then a full fleshed Shady track that leads into Antichrist where Shady is trying to shift the blame to Marshall so that Eminem, the complete person in that case, embraces Shady again instead of Marshall and locks him away.

Fuel and Road Rage is basically the lead up to the album, in real life, in which Shady is trying to get Eminem cancelled, that leads to Houdini dropping in this story as the lead single. It then leads into the skit where Shady is showing a tied up Marshall, the good conscious, that Shady won and Eminem really dropped the album. Remember, Marshall has been d***ged at the beginning by Shady which also indicates that, Marshall was in a dream like state. This is basically confirmed through the alarm sound several times during this album. Shady explains himself in detail on GC2 but gets too Cocky and thinks he is untouchable without realizing that while he was gone, Marshall became stronger than he was, contrary to the beginning of Eminem's career. The good side then kills Shady but there is another alarm where Eminem 'wakes up' and explains himself to Paul and he just hangs up which leaves several interpetations there, but mine is, that the album actually dropped in real life and Eminem as a whole was in a d*** like dreamy state because Shady took the upper hand over Eminems brain. It could also indicate that Eminem did infact relapse in real life and was trapped in a nightmare within a nightmare. You could also hear Shady laughing after GC2 indicating that his story might not be finished.

I think this is where the actual story ends and the last few tracks are filler to add some diversity to the album.

I think he put Temporary and the Outro there because revival was panned and thought that Castle and Arose didnt get enough love because they were on Revival and he was confident that this album would not get panned like the former. So he wanted people to hear these songs, even if they were rehashed concepts.

I might be looking too much into this too, but this is the way I understand it lmao

He already addressed game lmao

"All the envious rappers I'd torch if I'm on a joint with 'em/And that is the only retort is I'm not played in the clubs muthaf**ka put a cork in it/Only reason they still play your s**t in the clubs/(Why?) is 'cause you still perform in 'em,"

Would make sense considering them both being concept albums. Seems odd that he dropped those two bonus tracks already though, but I guess anything can happen

ABCDEF

Those bonus tracks don't really fit the theme of the album anyways. Pretty sure Like My S*** is just a Side B leftover (though it does say coup de grace so maybe third verse is newer)?

That’s not nearly enough

He lost to Game if that’s his response

This is where people got the number to call Steve Berman, btw.

Game prolly saying the same thing, mad af to not get the mention on a number one album after a clout chasing 10 minute diss for no reason that everyone laughed off

Huh?

One thing I like about these late career Eminem albums is that each album has improved from the previous one.

For example, "Kamikaze" was a solid project, but he improved on the next one with "Music To Be Murdered By", which was really good. And then he improved from that one with "The Death of Slim Shady", which is good as well.

At this point in his career, that's all I ask for from Eminem nowadays, just slowly improve upon the last project, step by step.

Nah that’s a cop out. The whole “I’m not giving someone attention for dissing me” is wack if you’re a supposed boogie man.

What really happened is Dre probably told Em not to acknowledge it and Em listened and that’s wack

Same way Jimmy told him that he could rap about midgets and trans and Puff but couldn’t talk about who actually runs the rap industry

I lost a lot of respect for Em on this album because it’s clear how much he held back. The higher ups told him he couldn’t say some things so he just kept repeating the midget blind stuff

He already responded to game with a single bar who has is fitting czu thst 10 minute diss made zero noise.

Unlike drake he don't feel the need to respond multiple times to the side characters
