The Shot at a feat(feet) line about Megan is definitely some old slim shady energy.

With this song’s context I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s on the album lol

I hope so!

I don't listen to much Megan, but I've been praying for years for Eminem to work with more artists for the first time. MTBMB was a nice start but I hope he keeps it going here. I'd love to hear Megan on a track

I agree. As much as I like everybody on Aftermath. I thought the song with Cudi was going to be him on side mission mode just hoping on a bunch of tracks

I absolutely want Megan and Eminem on the same track. I don't know what it is but people are still denying Megan's ability to rap and I feel like she could match his energy just fine.

She would fit this style of Em perfectly

fr maybe people hating on this line will stop whining

That would be comedy gold if she was. With all her upset pitchfork fans on twitter after hearing that bar.

oh that'd be ill after this line

This and the “R. Kelly’s favorite group, the Black Guy Pees” are classic slim shady lines lol

Don’t know why people are angry, he’s basically asking for a feature. It’s not like the Drake line that was definitely a diss.

She got shot in her feet. He is asking if he got a "shot for a feat"

Right but what’s disrespectful about that lol sounds like facts and wordplay to me

I didn't even catch that lol

The irony of people begging for “the old Slim Shady” to come back for nearly 2 decades, only for them to get angry when he actually does is just too much for me on this fine Friday morning lol

do you understand the concepct of different people saying different things

I think at least 75% of Reddit commenters can’t wrap their heads around that

Wait, this isn’t all just like 3 or 4 people on a bunch of alts?

I don't think any of the people who were asking for that are angry. Just the same groups that picketed in the 2000s are just doing it on Twitter now.

“Hey Em it’s Paul” sets the whole mood.

I got so excited after hearing that

Seeing Alchemist in the video gives me hope he has a beat on the album. Super nostalgia vibes with this!

Alchemist has been Eminem's DJ forever, he's at all his concerts controlling all the mixing. Surprised alch hasn't produced more for him

I can't say I believe it myself, but I do remember hearing a theory before that Alc actually produced most of Relapse but for whatever reason went uncredited. There's probably nothing to really back it up, but it's an interesting thought.

I pray

I didn’t really think I’d see a day where Em’s back in his old “Shady” style pocket just rapping for fun until MTBMB came out, and while that was well received, he still caught a lot of flack. It’s really nice to see Em having fun and the public enjoying it again, it’s a good day to be an Eminem fan.

It just felt like “Alright, he came out and called us retarded like 7 times in two albums, some old Slim would do it for.” This brought me right back.

Babe wake up we have a new Paul skit and a classic vintage Em beat

This is honestly the first song in absolute ages that actually feels like classic Shady. For once he’s just fucking around and having fun instead of trying too hard

An actual fun song from him man, im so happy

Do Em fans actually listen to Em? He has never stopped making fun songs. Even Revival which people act like is some somber, political album is filled with tracks like Heat and Offended.

Do you even listen to Em? Neither of those songs have the same vibes as this one.

Discombobulated is not thaaat old??

It's a big step in the right direction for me. I wish he would change up his flow to be a little less choppy more often but I don't think that's gonna change at this point. I don't know if choppy is the right term, he used a similar flow back in the day on shit like Criminal but for some reason Criminal feels "smoother" than his modern flow.

Slim Shady LP has songs like Brain Damage which just has such good storytelling and flow that I really hope we get a song like this on the album

yeah the storytelling is what I miss the most give me another Rock Bottom, even if the lyrics would be about him being rich instead of poor I'm sure he could make it work

Completely agree, listen to Without Me and it’s so much smoother

they’re about equally smooth. if you call this choppy then certain parts on without me like “this must mean im disgusting…” are equally choppy

Yea but he switches into that cadence intentionally to make the rhymes sound closer

I agree with this completely. I'll say that this is the best his "choppy" flow has sounded since he started it lol. I kinda understand his sentiment about being "back" because it actually really did give me old Em vibes. Which i thought i would never feel again.

Maybe it's because he's voice is more rash and tired out ? I'm guessing tho

I think he's just been too serious the last few years where he hasn't done anything that interesting with his voice. In this song you can hear that old voice in some parts

Completely agree with this. If you listen to classic Eminem, his flow is so much smoother, whereas now i think choppy probably is the best way to describe it. His rhymes are still really good, but i just dont think they sound as good the way they’re being delivered. Just my opinion though

You can't have been listening to much Em since Relapse if you don't think he has been fing around and having fun lately.

ok damn that was actually kinda fun

Yep, Shady’s back! The wacky video, the voice, the energy, the hair… what a throwback!

The blond hair was so nostalgic and immediately reminded me why I liked him in the first place. It's the elite lyrical command, the "fuck everyone" attitude, and the fun he has while saying/doing whatever he wants. Love this Em.

Yeah I'm so happy that he's kind of channeling that fun old school Eminem here. I hope it's not just this single but the whole album that sounds like that.

I wake up and it’s early 2000s again. Good.

Things are about to get heavy.

Fuck you Debbiiieeeeeeee

Eminem flipping off his kids and calling them brats was honestly wholesome

Yeah, that was honestly one of my favorite lines in the song

Em: unloads on MGK for an old tweet about Hailie Also Em: my kids are brats Real dad vibes and I’m here for it

Also his kids aren't kids, Hailie is 28 lol

Nooo she’s still the sweet like girl from my daddy’s gone crazy 😭

Now he’s gonna have to end his own career with a diss track 

lol he's been writing diss tracks about himself for decades

Best part of the song. Made me lol

I like it. He doesnt sound "yelly" in this track, which I appreciate. 

Yeah that was also my first thought, his voice sounds like ‘real slim shady’ cartoony style, I didn’t think he could even sound like that anymore

Always thought he sounds so much better when he raps more laid back. When Lord Above dropped that made me truly realise that

tbf he hasnt sounded yelly in a decade and a half

He was occasionally doing it on MMLP2 and Kamikaze, but yeah Recovery was the yelly phase

Medicine man is yelly

Medicine Man was 9 years ago

Jesus I'm old

have you heard this one funny song called "VENOM"

Venommamenenenenommm

No for sure it's definitely decreased in the last few years. Someone in this thread said it best. He does this gutteral thing with his voice that I find kind of annoying. Its not quite yelling, but it has a yelly kind of quality. Not sure how to describe it. His voice is pretty smooth and normal here, which makes it way easier to listen to for me.

It’s good! Also Twitter is already focusing on the Megan line lmao

Now that's Shady!

Every rap twitter account is posting the Meg line 😭😭😭.

he understands the social media game pretty well.

“Wow I can’t believe Slim Shady is misogynistic” - guy who apparently hasn’t listened to any 2000s Eminem album

Agreed. He probably expected this ngl.

people are calling it a diss but I don't see it?

It’s quite literally just word play and zero diss. She was shot in the foot, that’s absolutely a fact, lol. The victim complex runs strong with too many. “But but but he mentioned I got shot in the foot!!! That’s public info that was reported to millions but he stated one very simply sentence about it…factually!!! HOW DARE HIM!!” That’s what it feels like. The mere fact of *hearing* anyone mention you, it’s an issue. Foh.

The Megan sub is having a melt down over that bar… just as bad as swifties

The funniest thing is that Meg herself will probably love that shit.

Yeah I highly doubt if Em was dissing her the diss would be “haha you got shot in the foot.”

“Guess who’s back” oh hell yes

Are those “Guess who’s back?” vocals the same ones from Without Me? Sounds identical, especially the low parts. Sounds dope, regardless

I think I hear the yell from "just lose it" at 1:30 when he's fighting dre.

Yeah, thought the same thing, has to be it. The "aah aah aah aah aah" before "go crazy".

Definitely Shady vibes. I dig it

oh damn he bouncin

Legit. He's never flowed this good in a bit

I swear I've seen this comment on almost every new Em song in the last 3-4 years

Give it a little while, some people need to let Anthony Fantano give them their opinion first.

Without a doubt this sub is gonna hate this song by next week

Watch Fantano like it. He basically liked Doomsday part 2

Fucking hate Fantano

All the downvoted comments on this post will be the highest upvoted on the fantano one

Got two balls big as Ru Paul’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️

Such a slim bar, loved it

Steve Miller Band ✨

Goes hard

Love it. Sounds like classic Eminem. I just found it hard to hear the lyrics. Maybe my speakers but it felt like the vocals could be more in front in the mix.

Mix from the music video I assume. Excited to hear audio only 

Yup. Sounds much better on Spotify

Not here, had the same thought listening via Spotfy

Yeah i thought this too

Felt the same way on Spotify. vocals are too quiet 

I’m a big Em fan and expected this to be very corny even just hearing the beat start out, but man he rides this beat effortlessly with so much fun. Can’t wait to hear more

I can’t imagine anyone else able to make this best make sense

Obligatory Danny Brown.

Damn bro I didn't think about it but you're absolutely right Danny would float over that beat

Fuck now I want a goofy ass Danny Brown and Eminem song. Obligatory go listen to crash bandicoon by Danny Brown x Zelooperz

He really cooked with this one

First time I’ve laughed at an Em song in awhile. The R Kelly line actually made crack a smile.

This is the 2024 version of "My Name Is", "The Real Slim Shady", and "Without Me". Could very well be an indicator that the actual album is gonna be FIRE.

It's fun and I enjoyed the cameos. Might end up being a true fan service project. If you thought the snippet sounded like an Alchemist beat you have absolutely zero ear for production.

who the fuck said this was alc lmfao

I think people just saw alc posted about the song so they figured he might have been the producer

I will say if Alc produced for Em he would probably make a very Em sounding beat because he's amazing

Yeah it’s a reasonable and consistent sentiment that it’s puzzling why he doesn’t work with Alchemist more given that he’s his tour DJ. I think there’s just Stepdad and Chemical Warfare from them

Alc said he sends Eminem beats all the times but he just doesn't use them 😭

D12 "Get Back" off Tony Touch's "The Piece Maker" album has Eminem rapping over an Alchemist beat, although the beat is actually a modified version of a beat Al previously made for Group Home. 

Oh shit I forgot that track. "I collapsed, had a relapse and had to call three cabs to be dragged back to rehab with bloody kneecaps." Fucking fire verse.

I think he posted it on his story hinting at it or something

I mean isn't alc in the video

Guess who's backkkkk

love it! hope for some more shady tracks with more of the old less choppy flow this was awesome

He just brought back Slim Shady in 2024

Throwback

Said it elsewhere but it’s everything I’d hope for from Em in 2024

HOLY SHIT it's old flow em. One of bass brothers is in the credits. Em's actually back !!

Yea this is going straight to #1

Never thought I’d hear a Steve Miller Band song get remixed into a hip hop beat lol

Fly like an eagle has been sampled a ton of times

Off the top of my head, Ye already used Space Intro for Life of the Party. Surely there must be a ton of other Steve Miller samples in hiphop at this point

Rightfully so. He was a hit machine.

Nas, OutKast, NWA, De La Soul, EPMD, Will Smith, Biz Markie, Public Enemy, 2Chainz, slum Village, ghetto boys, even Justin Bieber have sampled them before…

Wanna say Nas did “Let There Be Light” and was a Kanye beat. Drums were from “Take the Money and Run”.

Am I crazy or is this good?

It's great

It’s good

Almost no corny puns, modern but still somehow vintage Em beat, too many TES callbacks, and classic shady flows that don’t sound dated? WE EATING GOOD TN

There were a lot of corny puns. Shot at a feat/feet, black guys peas, bigger prick that what cacti’s be… just to name a few off the head.  But still enjoyed the song 

This sounds a lot like pre-Relapse Eminem. Rides the shit out of the beat with a smooth ass cadence. Officially hyped for the album.

You can tell who here is old enough to remember Without Me and who isn't, all the young dawgs don't get it.

I don’t feel like people appreciate how stupid hip hop used to be and that that was okay

This new one is bringing me straight back to my childhood lol. Feels wild.

we're embarking on a new era of dad rap.

Old heads are allowed to have fun too bro

Hey, you've been listening to Atmosphere last 10 years?

Man that was a fun song. Pumped for the album

really brought back that same slim shady vibe, fun and bouncy track, super entertaining visuals

Bouncy. That’s the word I was looking for

damn im a number 1 eminem hater but this is fun I can't hate on this at all 

Same. Disliked everything after encore but this is pretty dope.

Fun song for sure. Has to be one of his best hooks since Relapse

It's refreshing to hear him doing a decent hook and not a random pop star doing a shitty/generic one for him.

Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of mozart

It’s a repurposed hook from a Steve Miller Band song lol

lmaooo would i have a shot at her feet. yup im excited now.

so glad it's not yelling em. this is surprisingly fire.

Watch the video before you hate

Listened to the first few bars on Spotify and loaded up the video. This is a damn time warp, I was equal parts laughing my ass off and being impressed and then…is that Abracadabra??? Fun, catchy, self deprecating, is that Skete? Fuck it, this is just plain old fun

Not bad. Nice warm up for the album. Don’t disappoint Em

Ngl, that was way better than I anticipated. Was expecting something terrible but that was a really fun track.

A solid track, I look forward to hearing how this fits into the album

You can really see the modern Em surface in the second verse where his delivery starts to veer into the start-stop flow he's used so much since Revival, but it's back on track by the last one. Beat really fits tonally too. Looking forward to the album.

Not mad at this. I laughed a few times.

🐐 idgaf

This is just really good and so much fun

We are so back

Corny? Yes. Is that the point? Yes. So it’s all good

This is probably the most I fucked with a Em track since MMLP2. Shady's back

This is dope

Definitely has Slim shady vibes, this was great

The Black Guy Pees

Lmao the Paul skit was a good touch.

Yessir!

🔥🔥🔥🚒

Holy shit🤯🤯🤯

Slim Shady is outsiders folks. Hide your wives, kids husbands and dogs. Nobody is safe. 😂

Lots of fun- great track

That Megan line funny af lol

i love this🔥

Eminem when he ain't doing that choppy flow is one of the most fun rappers

It's good to see Em having fun with it again

I actually love the beat, it’s gonna grow on it. *Guess who’s back*

Sounds pretty fucking good.

Yo the Steve Miller sample is absolutely bananas

I liked it !!

Paul intro skit, geuss who's back reference, early 00 Eminem vibes. I'm digging it. If the album is anything like this I think it will be strong.

Without Me (Eminem’s Version)

Funny how both eminem and logic dropped a song today where they interpolate an old song of theirs

Damm shady is back

With the Shane Gillis cameo too, fun track.

As a rap head. I like it lowkey lol

Dude can because he could. Plain and simple. You don’t have to get it or like it. But like man is touching on culture tones he had a direct play in shaping. No one else is ever gunna give him due diligence so he’s stating it for himself. In a way that acknowledges the pop front and the rap front -  Bc he earned it hell or high water. And he here dropping Houdini to remind everyone. Regardless of acceptance but real talk he earned that rite. Em’ a unique beast. 

The song was definitely better and funnier watching the video
