Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) ALBUM REVIEW 

if eminem was white you would’ve given this a 10

Tobey got bit by a spider but Tony got bit by a melon

If it was named “To Slim a Shady” he would’ve gave it a 10/10

If this had a sexy redd feature it would have been a 10

Fully expected him to give it a 3 or lower

You only gave it a 5 because that’s your opinion on the album

a 5/10 review from fantano is basically a 9/10 on the fanfano-eminem curve

If this was named "Good Slim, Mad Shady" you would have gave it a 10/10

lowkey a shock to not see a red flannel on the thumbnail

Cal is just Anthony's Slim Shady, how did it take me years to realize

Are you gonna rank me yeah? Anthony Fantano me Bruh?

You would give it a 9 if Gen Y wasn’t trying to cancel Christopher Reeves.

its so funny that eminem over the years with all the references eventually made everyone believe that christopher reeve had an S at the end of his name

If this was Eminem, you would have given it a Decent 5

I understand the confusion about whether Shady is dead or not, but I think people aren’t catching onto the fact that after Em shoots him, he wakes up & realizes that it was a dream. He calls Paul and trolls him by saying “I dreamed that the old me took over the new me, I was making fun of midgets, deaf people, cripples…and then I woke up and it was like I was still dreaming. Haha!” Aside from him offhandedly telling us that him killing Slim was a dream, he pretty much lets us know in the Houdini video that Em & Shady have become a singular being. I thought it was obvious that it isn’t his actual death.

I loved the part when Anthony said he's not gonna quote any bars and then started quoting bars. It reminded me of when Kanye said he wasn't gonna say what kind of people the doctor was and then said it a second later

Fantano gave me a five (yeah) Like his hairline (yeah) Five lines (Fine lines) Wind chimes (wind chimes)

The album cover in the background looks like eminem is shocked at Fantano the entire review

If this was called Kids see Slims It would've been 100/10

You keep criticizing music like some kind of music critic. Who do you think you are bub?

Now you need to drop an album called “The Death of Cal Chuchesta” and Em can give it a 5 😂

if it was named "the death of a butterfly pimp" you would have given it 11/10

Slim Shady? shit sounds like a fable to me, till he jumps out the fuckin toilet when you're takin a pee

Eminem making Fantano like a song off Encore by releasing it two fucking decades after the album is going to be low-key my favorite milestone this year.

i can’t believe gen z is trying to cancel fantano 😢😢

Eminem every 20 seconds on the album: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="865">14:25</a>

at this point you are not a critic but a hater

I dont think I've heard a review of this album that was able to understand the album so well and yet at the same time not understand the album whatsoever. Someone who was so unoffended yet clearly offended at the same time. Truly incredible review, 5/10 review for sure.

If you factor in the -5 debuff Fantano puts on all Em projects, this is a 10/10 for him.

JID killed it. Man cannot miss recently.

Fantano gave Sexxy Red 8/10. From that point on everything he says in worthless.

Every time this guy gives an album a bad review I know I'm in for a good album

“I been frank (Ben Frank) with ya, hope ya see ya “lightning”, im “striking” unfortunately, that’s bars

surprised you didn’t mention renaissance. i thought it was great as an intro track and was one of my favorite cuts.

Sexy redd above Eminem is wild 😭

The man is cursed - an incredible rapper with nothing to say.

millennials talking about "GenZ trying to cancel eminem" is the biggest mass schizoposting event of the year. (Edit: I'm a millennial lol)

Ngl, I thought his shirt said ‘Nazis’ at first glance.

Eminem killing Slim is straight out of Jungian psych, killing your shadow. When you kill your shadow, you're supposed to absorb the aspects of your shadow that arent completely useless, which might be what is going on in Em's head on Bad One

Why is scru face Jean the only reactor I've seen actually get the point of the album

I can’t believe Fantano killed Eminem just for a review, smh

After watching the initial reaction I was fully expecting this to score way lower lol

Let's not forget he gave sexy redd's album an 8/10

ngl I wouldn't be able to enjoy listening to music anymore if i'd review everything like this

This dude would find something wrong with 36 Chambers

How is sexy redd an 8 and eminem is a 5... Tf

On stream, you say that Brand New Dance is the worst song you could come up with in a dream, and that it's horrible... and here you say you like it?

Eminem isint gotta let you hit it Tony

Me, an evil GenZ, on my way to the Eminem cancellation meeting. Get ‘em Fantano!

I like that you didn't get bogged down dissecting lyrics. There's no need. To you asking why he would revisit the provocative instead of relatable, broke Slim Shady, there is commentary in the album on the commercial success that the character brought. That's one reason he revisits this. Even if Encore was his worst album at the time (I strongly agree) it still made him even more famous. So he's conflicted. Can/should he drop the Slim Shady persona, or does he owe it some credit? Ngl, I was expecting Fantano to mindlessly hate on Eminem, but he raises a lot of good points. The narrative is messy as hell. I wonder if a concept album was too ambitious for Eminem? As you said, once he shoots Slim Shady, where do we go from there? I feel like the remaining tracks should have documented the result, such a track about his freedom without Slim, or even being lost, or a suggestion of where he goes next. I do think he still wanted to tick some boxes on this album, ie. get in his features, his sedimental songs, certain beats, certain puns, certain verses, jabs all at the expense of the concept. If he had gone all in on telling a story, it would have worked better. And he could have too, because he's so big it would have been a commercial success no matter what.

“What made Eminem dig from that point of his career” Drugs, Anthony. Slim shady is meant to be Eminem’s “drug addict side” that’s why he is battling the “encore” version at times.

The Melly Mel thing is definitely a stretch with regards to straying from the concept. He didn't even diss him , all he said was "the man is a legend, bitch so am I". Considering how he usually responds to disses, that was extremely tame. Sounded more like Marshall than anything.

You’re taking this album way too serious.

Why does this guys opinion matter again?

after seeing his live reaction i thought he was gonna give this a strong 2/10

Em really put on some glasses and game his own album a five. Truly as humble as j Cole.

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO “MY DARLING” FROM RELAPSE! “YOU COULDN’T KILL ME IF YOU TRIED TO”

The Em haters are on fire since the album came out yet neutral fans and Em fans actually like this album. And i love how Ems haters always speek from a point as if they like him. Saying something like "Eminem is a great rapper with nothing to say" is an example. They pretend to like him in one part of a sentence then the hate comes out in the second part of the sentence. Hate will always show up no matter whar you're saying.

A decent 5 is a positive review for eminem standards.

Nah this Fantano impersonator gotta be another guest, there’s no way the real Anthony would give Eminem anything higher than a 2

Disappointed by this album. Maybe 3 good songs out of all 19 tracks. The lyrics are very elementary, him talking about Instagram and Twitter etc and he hates deaf and blind people just cheapens him. We know hes a great writer and usually when he says something provocative theres some kind of comedic touch to it and it seem that magic is gone on this album..he just randomly saying "cancel culture " type of things and it comes off lame and cheap.. expected more from a man of his talent, probably because his past work speaks for itself and i know he can write and make great music ,but all those original qualities that made everyone take notice and become fans of his are definitely missing from this album...

What a terrible review, jesus. You barely didn't go into any artistic aspect of the album, just talked about what the storyline was/wasn't

JID on fuel was crazy good

idk I feel like starting a track with "FUCK BLIND PEOPLE" made it pretty clear that this version of Slim Shady is more of a caricaturized villain. Unless Marshall really does just hate blind people and needed that Oscar Wilde mask just one more time?

If you liked it more you would’ve given it a higher score.

It's Reeve not Reeves. Review 2/10

Kinda weird how you said "Eminem, white power, forever" at the end, since that isn't the name of the album, but other than that good review

call this album me because it came out recently and was met with criticism

Fantano review rating is a 0

I've been following Eminem's releases closely since Revival (of course I listened to his stuff before but I mean in real time & listening to them as full projects), and it's so interesting to me to hear him swing between wanting to talk about things but then feeling like he has to walk it back or try to explain himself. I actually really like him though, and it's been fun to watch his albums get more and more conceptual and theatrical. I think he's at the point in his career -- and he's said this many times before -- where he can't go any higher, so I like to see him doing the crazy stuff

It’s hilarious that you liked Brand New Dance ngl

Cal dropping the hardest bars of the year. Still waiting for the next album, Cal.

This clown went from bragging about Eminem for years to now calling Shady an "edgelord", which is clearly not a compliment. Just cause you didn't like Revival shouldn't change how you felt about the earlier work that you have said got you into this field. Shady caused congressional hearings & was attacked by Tipper Gore & Lynn Cheney. That's not being an edgelord. He did his own thing.

"I’m sick, quick-witted, for every lyric spitted There's a critic who waits for me to slip with it" -eminem on fantano

Referring to him as “Marshall” is crazy lmao imagine nonchalantly referring to 50 cent as “Curtis”

Don’t care what anyone says, I enjoyed the album and that’s all that matters to me

Slim and Marshall Creates Eminem He's the fusion of both of them

This guy is the worst at rating shit

Anybody else got "Why Hip-Hop Doesn't Respect Anthony Fantano" video in their recommended on the side?

If Sexyy Red made this. it would be an 8

look who’s talkin dawg, like brian from family guy

I really liked this album, I feel like since kamikaze every album has gotten better

See how butt hurt he is? knowing that TDOSS is Top 1 Album Globally LOL

If it was called "The pimp of a butterfly" you would've given this a 10

This is the highest review I've seen this album get outside of stans

Em has even convinced Anthony to say Reeves instead of Reeve😂

Eminem needs to retire

Anthony “Edge Lord” Fantano

If it was 'The Death of Butterfly' you would've gave it a 10

5/10 actually ain't that bad, I'll take it

The biggest goof I have seen doing a reaction. Cringe levels getting dangerously high

I think this album will grow on everyone once they know the concept.

If this album was called To Pimp a Slim Shady you would still given it a 5 because it doesn't change the music.

I am positively shocked that out of all songs he picked Houdini as the worst. I think that has the best hook on the album

old man yells at cloud ahh album

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="13">0:13</a> Meet The Grahams but why? 😅

I was listening to this last night and literally thought, "this is so good there's no way Fantano likes it"

Oh so when Eminem drops an album you give him a 5, but when Eminem drops you give him a 5?? Unacceptable Anthony

I don’t think giving this album a 0 because he’s white is a good reason melon
