19. Somebody Save Me

The songs have had me laugh, reminisce and even cry. With the hardest songs are "Temporary" featuring Skylar Grey and Jellyroll's "Somebody Save Me" mix with Eminem was a beautiful ending to an fantastical album. The back and forth of Slim and Marshall in Guilty Conscience 2 was well done. You can hear the separation of the two and when they were mixing. The rhyme schemes are phenomenal in all the songs.

There is little doubt in my mind that this album will do swimmingly. Whether this is Eminem’s last album is to be seen. The fan in me hopes that there is still more albums left in Eminem to do, however the way that the album is,probably not. Even though I’d even venture a bet that there is an album that would be set up for when Marshall Mathers eventually leaves his mortal coil. A posthumous album called “The Death of...” either Eminem or Marshall Mathers to balance with this album. Even if that isn’t the case and this is the last album, he did amazing with it. The fact that it was done so the listener has to listen from the first track to the last is reminiscent from vinyl albums. The concept from start to finish is amazing. What he has done for hip-hop is beyond words.
