What are your predictions for the new album? I'm not talking about release date, number of YouTube views, billboard position, etc. I'm talking about your substantive predictions-- the bolder and more specific, the better. The type where you turn to your friend when the album drops and say "I fucking TOLD you! I called it."
With the resurrection of Slim Shady, I feel like the possibilities are endless. Houdini has been fodder for our nostalgia. The 00s track sampling, the superhero costume (complete with the stuffed crotch), the "creation of a monster", Paul being a downer...need I go on? Every time I listen to the song or watch the video, I pick up on something else.
What's the rest of this album gonna look like? With the name being the Death of Slim Shady and the first song being such a callback-- what say you? Call it now.
My predictions:
- There will be a PSA to open album (and another Paul skit probably)
- An updated song for Hailie
- Dr. Dre feature... maybe a nod to Guilty Conscience with older Em counseling younger Em too
- Britney Spears mentioned
- Makes fun of Ja Rule about Firefest
If you say it now, it's documented. Don't say "I knew it" next week!

I feel you...many albums let me down hard. Not even saying they were bad, just that they didn't hit for me the way the early ones did. But this is such a blatant callback that I can't help but be hopeful.
