Em dropped the "Death of Slim Shady" yesterday. One of his better albums in a long time imo.
But 1 track really stood out to me, and that would be "Somebody Save Me" cover of Jelly Rolls song. I don't know what it is exactly, but it just hits different to me. Not the typical Em song, but it might be the most meaningful song he's ever put out. His music always hit close to home for me, but this is different, it speaks to me in a way his other music never did. Never really listened to Jelly Roll, but dude can sing! The 2 of them together really is something special.
If you haven't heard it yet it's posted below, give it a listen and let me know your thoughts.
If you've heard it already, what's your thoughts?

 
I've heard nothing but good things from everybody but @Da Speeit.
I listened to a bit and had to change it.
Absolutely horrible. He doesnt make songs anymore just:

ranting and chanting the rambles of an ant in hill running from bill…oriley, my smile emoji sent to Laken Riley mustve pissed off the migrant who shanked her in the back of a Navigator with the navigation sent to Candance Owen’s plantation

Fucking dumb edgelord bullshit, terrible beats.
 
Good god this song es no bueno.

Like imagine dragons took a shit on Eminem’s face while Sam Smith watched in a dark corner. If this is the single, they chose the wrong one. Just mishmash of trends
 
Good lord it's terrible. Kill it with fire.

Eminem was always massively overrated, but he did have some absolute monsters. This is not one of them.

1) I'm glad hip hop has finally come to a point where the entire genre isn't 4/4 time.

6/8 and other Triplet based Meters hit a little different and allow access to different music emotions. A LOT of top 40 from the 1950s and 60s was in 6/8 (at least relative to more recent eras) and I think it naturally offers a more sentimental feel.

2) the song makes me appreciate that I was able to do ridiculous amounts of drugs and honestly fairly easily just toe the line without ever fucking people over or having my life fall apart. I did my drugs but still showed up at work or school or whatever and it seems like a LOT of people have a hard time doing that.
Makes me appreciate my wife and my support structure, family, friends that I am sure played a part in me keeping the train on the tracks when it seems so many others crashed.
 
One of my favorite modern fake country songs. This version is terrible.

Em just sounds different dont know if it's rhe writing or him trying to sound like the monotone rappers of today.
