Slim Shady or Eminem? This song is dedicated to each and has a revealing ending.
The song also has a similar purpose to Criminal, the closing song of MMLP1. On Criminal, Eminem states that he doesn’t mean what he says in his lyrics, then proceeds to be offensive. On this song, Eminem stops blaming those lyrics on “Slim Shady” and takes responsibility for those lyrics. That doesn’t mean he’s sorry though. Eminem also takes up the crusade that Kendrick Lamar started on Control by stating he plans to call out the rappers that are copying Kanye West, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, and Drake.
This is one of Eminem’s most complex, subtle, and underrated songs. Pay attention, or you’ll miss a lot of the above.
