A Purported Concept Album The Death Of Slim Shady Falls Short Of Expectations

Eminem's "The Death of Slim Shady": A Disjointed and Incoherent Clump of Non-Sequiturs

A purported concept album, "The Death of Slim Shady" falls short of expectations.

Eminem's alter ego has been trying to offend us for 25 years now.

Much of "The Death of Slim Shady" resembles a Telegraph op-ed, with its ham-fisted mashing of people's buttons and blethering about the PC police. For 25 years now, Slim Shady has been trying to offend us, and Eminem's loudest alter ego has kept partying like it's 1999 even while his relevance has waned.

The purported concept album "The Death of Slim Shady Coup de Grâce" is in fact a disjointed and incoherent clump of non-sequiturs. In short, "The Death of Slim Shady Coupe De Grace" is the best record Eminem has done since "The Marshall Mathers LP2".
