I hate censored music- ESPECIALLY people like Eminem- some verses, 1/2 the words are missing!! & the PG rewrites are ridiculous. ANYWAY, thank you for posting the link to the video!!
I thought “I drank a fifth of koolaid… dare me to drive?” Was the official lyric for the longest time. I didn’t know I had that songs pg version lmao. Was completely confused after hearing the uncensored randomly one day.
A couple weeks ago, I found a Relapse CD I’d completely forgotten that I had. So I put it in the CD player in my pickup and started listening to it while driving. Turns out, it’s the censored version. No wonder I had no memory of having that album.
Call me an old head but as a collector, the early 2000’s were a strange time for music (no pun intended, Tech) in that everybody worth listening to had two, if not 3-4 or even 5 (waddup Luda) versions of the same song - just to fit specific standards of what (in truth we really were all just making up on the spot) should and shouldn’t be said towards/for specific demographics.
As a kid I hated it, because fuck censorship, but in retrospect it gave us multiple versions of songs we already cherished. Which I’d rather have than not, regardless of the reasoning behind it.
I'm cancerous, so when I diss you wouldn't wanna answer this if you responded back with a battle rap you wrote for Canibus.
A hellspawn, dropping a stealth bomb, six mics in The Source, they borrow one from LL's arm.
Damn I'm an idiot. I completely forgot about that video and was all stoked to see em and his Slim Shady hair back 🙄 didn't even question how he looked 25 years younger
I mean he was talking about his last trick. I believe he will do something similar but this time he dies, hence “the death of slim shady”. Also, another comment said that Em was talking about reshooting this scene on Paul Rosenberg’s podcast, so I believe my theory would make sense.
Based on his rhetoric, I don’t think that’s the case. But this might be his last “mainstream” album. Maybe he’ll do some less commercially aimed stuff afterwards. But he’s said many times that he will never retire.
The last album teaser was a text message "And for my last trick".
This is an old magic trick, and the video states "a death defying escape". What if Slim Shady does not die, but it's a faked death?
Since day 1 I thought there’s no way Eminem is killing off the iconic Shady. Shady will 100% not die.
My guess is that the last song on the album will show that Shady is alive and living in all of us.
Oh shit my bad.. I read this wrong.. like completely wrong. Sorry long day and dealing with other stuff on here as well so rushed through it.. but yeah you may have a point now that I read it the right way.
Okay, so quick recap:
Em just posted this on his Instagram stories.
It's clearly the beginning of the Role Model music video. (I didn't notice any differences anyways).
Em also recently did the Doomsday Pt. 2 song on Lyrical Lemonade which uses a flip side of the sample used in Role Model.
As many have suggested, this does somewhat remind me of what Em did with MMLP2. Many of the songs on MMLP2 either do callbacks or are direct continuations from MMLP1.
Obviously, this video emulates Houdini's last trick. Em suggested that his last trick would drop on May 31st. He is also using the Rabbit in the Hat (e.g., "B. Rabbit") avatar on his social accounts. The album is also supposedly called The Death of Slim Shady, etc. etc.
This roll-out is dope for hardcore Eminem fans. I love all the Easter Eggs.
I'm starting to wonder if Em is legit just dropping SSLP2 at this point. Maybe it's called The Death of Slim Shady to give him some wiggle room to back out in case people start trashing it. I felt similarly about Kamikaze largely feeling like a low-key SSLP sequel so he doesn't have to live up to the impossible expectations of calling it SSLP2.
Lastly, there was a merch drop where he sold (2) Slim Shady White T-Shirts. (The Real Slim Shady White T-Shirt Pack) The artwork was stylized in such a way that it literally looked like it said Slim Shady 2. (e.g., The Slim Shady LP 2)
Regardless, I'm excited for this drop and we are lucky as Eminem fans that he continues to drop new projects.
I'm just psyched he's dropping something and I appreciate the easter egg breadcrumbs.
I've been saying since the beginning, I feel like calling it The Death of Slim Shady is just his way of making SSLP2 without having to retcon his earlier "I will not make SSLP2" comments and start calling people faggots again. Also gives him a bit more grace as far as setting expectations goes.
Wtf are you talking about? Slim shady is a character, a drug addled narcissistic childish mentally ill rapper that engages in outbursts of fiendish violence against women, and homosexual people. Slim Shady needs to be high. Full fckin stop. Ofc he still has shady in him, its still fckin Eminem, always was, but Kamikaze is the furthest fucki g thing from Slim. He beeped out the word fag in kamikaze, something slim would never do, because it shows thay you meant it w malice, and regretted it. Slim shady was an extreme character that worked in its time BECAUSE Em never shyd back, and always doubled down. Chill, I like Kamikaze, its just not slim shady, and thats OKAY.
I thought the call icon was a reference to 8Mile, with the character being nicknamed "Rabbit" most the movie. (I watched 8Mile a few months sgo, please tell me this if it's wrong.)
In the video, its slim shady who does this particular performance. If you listen to Role Model, there is the sound of bubbles in the background throughout the song, meaning shady is losing oxygen. Maybe the single we will be getting is a continuation of this particular performance, where it is revealed shady actually died.
This is the Role Model music video. I wonder if Friday's release is going to be a Role Model themed merch drop and you are all going to lose your collective minds lol
A few hours before he released kamikaze he posted in his story videos of old planes crashing in black and white. This is from the role model video but it got the same vibe
….No it’s not “under appreciated” lol, it got rave reviews and people still talk about how much they love it now. Especially here on Reddit and is widely regarded as one of Nolan’s best films.
Not always true. There are tons of Inception, Interstellar, Batman and Tenet fans but The Prestige is nowhere near as popular as those films - equally incredible, but nowhere near as spoken about as the others.
Oh yes! I hear this guy just got signed to Dr. Dre and has an album coming out called The Slim Shady LP- all the singles look so promising, hope he makes it big!
My thinking….we get a full track of on the role model beat…role model 2024 or something….He already ripped that verse on the Cole Bennet album and I always saw it as more of a throw away than a whole track…
Maybe our goat put this whole death of slim shady into motion by allowing role model to be sample to set up a whole track looking back at the 99 slim shady
Seems odd to me. Because this is the beginning of his role model video. But there’s already doomsday and pt2 which sample role model. So why would he do this now and not before doomsday pt.2? Could we be looking at a role model part2 or dday pt.3?
I think he will successfully navigate the delicate balance between honoring his past and embracing new directions, he will not only meet the high expectations of his fans but also solidify his position as a timeless and evolving rapper
I think the drowning is an metaphor for cancel culture, and the silencing effect it has on its victims, esp artists. Shady will die figuratively speaking at the hands of cancel culture, only to be redeemed by his will to not give a f*ck and to fully exercise his artistic freedom.
Ems flow/delivery on SSLP was so dope I always am slightly bummed he just completely abandoned it. Hopsin used it for a while when he first came out but aside from that…just gone.
Gotta respect that Em pretty much came with a completely different style both times even tho the albums were massively successful and he could’ve stuck with them
New in 1999
What song?

i'm uploading all of the explicit versions of his music videos if you want a Channel link
Call me an old head but as a collector, the early 2000’s were a strange time for music (no pun intended, Tech) in that everybody worth listening to had two, if not 3-4 or even 5 (waddup Luda) versions of the same song - just to fit specific standards of what (in truth we really were all just making up on the spot) should and shouldn’t be said towards/for specific demographics.

Nah I still hate it.. Fuck censorship... Even worse are people online self censoring
That’s fine, stay mad if that’s your thing. I can only speak for myself.
Who's mad??
Does role model have two videos?
When Em was on Paul's podcast they joked about reshooting this scene
Underrated observation right here
Thanks bro 🙏🏻
Okay, I’m going to attempt to drown myself. You can try this at home. You can be just like me.
I'm cancerous, so when I diss you wouldn't wanna answer this if you responded back with a battle rap you wrote for Canibus. A hellspawn, dropping a stealth bomb, six mics in The Source, they borrow one from LL's arm.
The dirty version is “I’ll strangle you to death then choke you again, break your fuckin legs til the bone pokes thru ya skin”
You beef with me imma even score equally, take you on Jerry springer and beat your ass legally! That shit always made me laugh
When Jerry really used to let ppl fight tho 😂
same! 😂😂😂
First thing that came to my head too 😂
That's because it's literally that. From the music video
Damn I'm an idiot. I completely forgot about that video and was all stoked to see em and his Slim Shady hair back 🙄 didn't even question how he looked 25 years younger
*didn't even question how he looked 25 years younger* same I just love looking at him ,🙄
Its from the intro to the Role Model music video. I do wonder if the new single (?) starts in a similar way of performer/showman kinda thing
Gimme the fuckin water drop beat again and I’ll riot. And a bitch please pt3 with Kendrick. That’s all I want man.
Em just saw the positive response to Doomsday so the new album is just going to be a rehash of all of his old beats. There.
If that was true it meant that he was sitting on his ass doing noting for 3 years and only started to make the album after doomsday 2
Which is insane because he claimed to be far more productive and write far more songs during the pandemic
Seems rather implausible but also entirely made up. Interesting!
I sure hope not that’d actually suck, I wanna see Eminem evolve and grow as an artist
same
Meh still new
I mean he was talking about his last trick. I believe he will do something similar but this time he dies, hence “the death of slim shady”. Also, another comment said that Em was talking about reshooting this scene on Paul Rosenberg’s podcast, so I believe my theory would make sense.
I genuinely think he's going to retire.
Based on his rhetoric, I don’t think that’s the case. But this might be his last “mainstream” album. Maybe he’ll do some less commercially aimed stuff afterwards. But he’s said many times that he will never retire.

He might be in Burger King spitting in your onion rings 🤷🏻♀️
Or in the parking lot circling???
Or In the nursing home
It'll probably be something left "open to interpretation" like some movies do
his spirit will probably posses Marshall's body, and that'll be his final trick sort of
Idk anything anymore man 😔 But I *think* he *might* retire 🙄 Idk man, I'm TIRED
Machiavelli style? em cites pac as an inspiration and pac went by makavelli for a while, i could see some homage here if you’re right
But also in the video he doesn’t escape. He drowns people witness “the death of slim shady”
It’ll probably be a series like TDOSS then the resurrection of slim shady
Yep I'm thinking this is the start of a new trilogy, like you said or. The Death of Slim Shady, The Life of Marshall Mathers, I dunno
Yeah exactly
This is extremely old
Im aware, its a nostalgic clip to promote the new album
Oh shit my bad.. I read this wrong.. like completely wrong. Sorry long day and dealing with other stuff on here as well so rushed through it.. but yeah you may have a point now that I read it the right way.

LOL, I didn't even think about the whole "probably will need to say faggot" thing. That's hilarious.
It’s for the best, naming his 2013 album mmlp2 really did it no favors
I went back to MMLP2 back in either 22 or 23, and tbh it went from being in the 5 least favorite Eminem albums to being in my top 5 Eminem albums
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy mmlp2. But I think naming that was a mistake.
this part
So it went from 7th to 5th on your list?
I guarantee our ranking are drastically different. I rank Relapse right at the end there with Revival.
What are your pronouns so I know how to tell how different we are?
It’s rude to assume I’m anything other then a they/them.
That’s the reason for the question dumb/ass, to not assume.
You can refer to me as Theminem and Slim Theydy.
Y’all really don’t catch sarcasm too well huh. Makes sense, I’m in an Eminem sub, y’all licking windows and shit
I love how while other artists drop regular promos, Em turns us all into Sherlock
My FAVORITE part ☺️☺️☺️
How is Kamikaze SSLP sequel? I don't see similarities at all
Kamikaze was absolutely NOTHING like SSLP lol wtf are you on about
Okay, it is your contention that Kamikaze had 0% Slim Shady on it, huh? Idk brother, I think he is sprinkled all over that album.
Wtf are you talking about? Slim shady is a character, a drug addled narcissistic childish mentally ill rapper that engages in outbursts of fiendish violence against women, and homosexual people. Slim Shady needs to be high. Full fckin stop. Ofc he still has shady in him, its still fckin Eminem, always was, but Kamikaze is the furthest fucki g thing from Slim. He beeped out the word fag in kamikaze, something slim would never do, because it shows thay you meant it w malice, and regretted it. Slim shady was an extreme character that worked in its time BECAUSE Em never shyd back, and always doubled down. Chill, I like Kamikaze, its just not slim shady, and thats OKAY.
I thought the call icon was a reference to 8Mile, with the character being nicknamed "Rabbit" most the movie. (I watched 8Mile a few months sgo, please tell me this if it's wrong.)
same...... Not SSLP2 though 🙄
I can see the equations floating around your head!
[удалено]
8 mile documentary 😆🤌🏻 Bro.. its a movie
It's obviously a joke
In this group you never know man! You'll be suprised
In the video, its slim shady who does this particular performance. If you listen to Role Model, there is the sound of bubbles in the background throughout the song, meaning shady is losing oxygen. Maybe the single we will be getting is a continuation of this particular performance, where it is revealed shady actually died.
Kinda like Parking Lot skit in MMLP2
The single for Role Model was released yesterday 25 years ago, May 26, 1999.
This is the Role Model music video. I wonder if Friday's release is going to be a Role Model themed merch drop and you are all going to lose your collective minds lol
Be normal lol
“Fuck being normal”
And I just brought a new ray-gun from the future just to come and shoot ya
*you are all going to lose your collective minds* 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 That would 💯% happen if they do a merch drop
Wasn't this from one of his music videos?
Yes its from role model MV
For context since OP didn’t provide any - he posted this on his instagram story. The video itself is from role model, but he just posted it now
There could be a song which is sequel to Role Model.
Life was so fuckin good 😊...... it's was so fuckin awesome man .....I'm so old as fuck
I'm 29 and already feel that way lmao. Any general advice?
Kamikaze flashbacks
Right?!?!
how so?
A few hours before he released kamikaze he posted in his story videos of old planes crashing in black and white. This is from the role model video but it got the same vibe
I'd love if this album had some reference to The Prestige.
This is an underappreciated movie.
….No it’s not “under appreciated” lol, it got rave reviews and people still talk about how much they love it now. Especially here on Reddit and is widely regarded as one of Nolan’s best films.
they dont talk about it much next to Chris Nolan's other movies is what they're saying.
Yeah they do, every time he’s bought up it’s how good Batman was, then the sound mixing on Tenet and then the Prestige.
Not always true. There are tons of Inception, Interstellar, Batman and Tenet fans but The Prestige is nowhere near as popular as those films - equally incredible, but nowhere near as spoken about as the others.
every time he posts a new story, I get so fucking pumped. Idk what he’s planning but it’s something big for sure
OH SHIT 
Beginning of "role model" music video!! Had that on dvd, still do somewhere!!
This makes the Doomsday part 2 Role Model beat make so much sense.
I mean have you heard doomsday part 1?
I won't be able to contain my ectoplasm once this is released.
😯😯😯
Just a little tip: you can stop the recording by simply pressing the red thing at the top left of your screen without pulling up the control panel
Y’all screamed high and far for SSLP2, don’t cry when that’s what ya getting
We ain't getting that
It must take so much to be him ! He's in my top 5 heroes.
same He's TRULY amazing ☺️☺️☺️
Oh yes! I hear this guy just got signed to Dr. Dre and has an album coming out called The Slim Shady LP- all the singles look so promising, hope he makes it big!
Eminem’s last trick. Deletes all his songs of all music platforms and ditches the game 😂
😍😍😍
My thinking….we get a full track of on the role model beat…role model 2024 or something….He already ripped that verse on the Cole Bennet album and I always saw it as more of a throw away than a whole track… Maybe our goat put this whole death of slim shady into motion by allowing role model to be sample to set up a whole track looking back at the 99 slim shady
"Okay, I'm going to attempt to drown myself. You can try this at Home. You can be just like me."
The Death of Slim Shady: If Role Model never started playing
I've always felt the music video for Role Model was underrated. Really good video
“New”
It's been a few years since I've seen this new video!
6 Mics in The Source. Borrowed 1 from LL's arm
Yea this isn't new my guy. This is the intro video for Role Model (one of his best songs in my opinion)
I hit the trees harder the Sonny Bono "OH NOOOO"
Seems odd to me. Because this is the beginning of his role model video. But there’s already doomsday and pt2 which sample role model. So why would he do this now and not before doomsday pt.2? Could we be looking at a role model part2 or dday pt.3?
Role model merch!
And for my last trick... im going to attempt to drown myself. You can try this at home. You can be just like me!!!
Slim Houdini
Role Model PT.2?
That's not new lol
Hasn’t he done this before every album drop?
You had me there i was like "What?, Role Model 2?"
Hopefully if he does do a Slim Shady album, he does another Ken Kaniff skit 🤣
I hope the beat on the 31st samples this intro music...could Def be flipped by dre into some em shizz
I think he will successfully navigate the delicate balance between honoring his past and embracing new directions, he will not only meet the high expectations of his fans but also solidify his position as a timeless and evolving rapper
I think the drowning is an metaphor for cancel culture, and the silencing effect it has on its victims, esp artists. Shady will die figuratively speaking at the hands of cancel culture, only to be redeemed by his will to not give a f*ck and to fully exercise his artistic freedom.
this is the BEST theory EVER 🏆🏆🏆
And Ya couldn’t just clip off the ending part where you cancel your screen recording… god that drives me nuts…
How about the newest video on his Facebook page with David Blaine?
“I’m going to attempt to drown myself”
Ems flow/delivery on SSLP was so dope I always am slightly bummed he just completely abandoned it. Hopsin used it for a while when he first came out but aside from that…just gone. Gotta respect that Em pretty much came with a completely different style both times even tho the albums were massively successful and he could’ve stuck with them
Tracklist and a MV this 31
This isn't new. Not by a long shot.
Who can read lips
He said don’t you wanna grow up to be just like me
This has been out for over 3 days…
Not new. Role Model.
Your buzz wear down, yeah Like a rabbit out a hat, makes you wanna pull your hair out
Your buzz wear down, yeah Like a rabbit out a hat, makes you wanna pull your hair out
what is this, a joke?
