he's always been big on things being reversed. From playing I'm slim shady in reverse, to lyrics about reversing words to make a new meaning, remarks on the old rumors of playing the Beatles backwards, hell straight back to his logo. It does in theory make sense of true
This is what I immediately thought of when I first saw this theory, because if you think about it in the normal order the first few tracks it's almost mostly Shady, then at the middle part it's a combination of the 2, and then the last few songs are mostly Em. Then the cherry on top for me was someone pointed out the Em tweet about listening to it in the correct order, but he never said anything about what order it should be in...
@1100MC It is probably a reach, but in reverse, trouble is the 17th track number, where slim feeds em a pill it seems. Which reversing our time line by years 1 year = 1 track, would put us in 2007 when he od'd
Something you didn’t mention so might not know, in Houdini’s music video slim is wearing white sneakers and marshal is in black. In the renaissance video of slim spitting on the grave it’s the same white shoes suggesting it’s actually marshal in the grave and slims alive.
I love this because every songs title made sense with the songs, yet Renaissance is just Renaissance, and it's Slim going off. It adds so much more to this theory. This was just Slims rebirth!
I never understood why "Houdini" was so late in the track listing when it starts with "Guess who's back?" aka the classic Slim Shady intro. But in reverse order, Houdini is one of the first songs to feature Shady..
Well CG2 is a dream. Houdini is the aftermath of the dream where shady comes back in real life. Because after Houdini in reverse order is Road Rage. Which in the video for Houdini, it ends with Pete Davidson driving crazy.
What I thought was amazing about save me that I haven't heard anyone touch on is the closing and lowering of the casket and how the music/chorus gets distant and sounds as if you'd be in a casket or anywhere enclosed, it's like echoing and muted compared to the beginning of the track only way I can explain it. Stay blessed 👊🏼
I agree. I actually noticed on the download for the digital album that Somebody Save Me was listed first before the others for some reason. I thought it was a glitch. I've been saying it's a lowering of the casket back into the first song where the grave gets spit on. Then Shady comes alive again. 🤷🏼♀️
@whatisnikkidoing I have the 2 with the bonus tracks. It was most likely a glitch, but it made me try it. People restart albums all the time, so it's fitting anyway intentionally or not.
The loop theory makes more sense. 1. Houdini was released first and for a reason. It points out that "what you thought you saw ain't what you saw" and "the kidnappin' never did happen", like magic and the real Houdini, it's an illusion. The skits where Shady kidnapped Em, never happened and is all in Em's head. 2. Em keeps having dream sequences, and when he wakes up after Guilty Conscience 2, you hear an shady laugh at the end, which means shady is still alive. Just like Houdini says "what you thought you saw ain't what you saw" 3. After Somebody Save Me, when you start back at the beginning and play Renaissance, Em spits on Shady's grave, and Shady comes back to life. This to me, means that suppressing Shady is a never ending cycle, he's a part of Em and can never truly die. I predict there will be a Side B.
@@user-ir6tb4is1jaye I don't get the concept of side B. Is it an alternative to an album? Why call it side B or deluxe editon when they can just drop the damn album

The actual 'conspiracy theory' is, because the album is heavily inspired by the South Park episode 'Joining the Panderverse', that it was actually Eminem who died in GC2, not Slim Shady and Slim Shady now commits 'identity theft' masquerading as Eminem. The South Park episode deals with topics like Cartman being plagued by dreams of himself from another universe, PC culture, multiversal portal jumping and mistaken identity. Seem familiar? Remember, Eminem set up the South Park connection in Habits, asking you if his rhymes would be ok if South Park did them.
What solidifies the Reverse concept and there being more is the fact that this concept was inspired by the Superman comic series. There’s a THREE part Superman series that was made from 1991-1993. Guess what the first comic was titled? “THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN”. 2nd was titled “The world without Superman”. And the 3rd was titled “The Return of Superman”. Take that, all of you stubborn/LAME Eminem “fans” who sadly lost their fun and creative Minds. 😏
Damn, I just can’t stop listening to this album. Tried it in reverse. Masterpiece. People can say what they want about EMINEM. He talks his shit, is honest, weaves intricate stories and does it all better than any other rapper. Period. The man’s a legend in his own time. 🔥
What I've realized is that there are no coincidences when it comes to Em. If people found out something in his songs/albums, he thought about it already.
Don’t forget, this album is AT LEAST 4 years in the making. Nothing is out limits. There is a reason why posters say “shady missing” and not ‘dead’. And why there is a skit OUTSIDE of the album. Now, I’m not sure about the backwards order (still need to listen to that), but side b, is almost certain. There are confirmed feature that are not out. (Royce, Dre, and another I forgot)
There are no coincidences when it comes to Eminem. There’s WAY too many clues and hints and the story told starting from “somebody save me” is way too obvious when you take the time to connect the puzzle. If you know the big magic trick that he pulled, please inform all of us because Slim Shady making us think that he’s dead is the only magic trick that I see and the only one that makes any sense at all after realizing there was a puzzle. And since it is a concept album that’s supposed to make sense by playing it in order, explain why in “renaissance” it’s only Slim Shady rapping without it being a “dream/nightmare” explanation. Explain why “Houdini” was track #11. It ONLY being Slim Shady on Renaissance without it being a dream ONLY makes sense if you listen to the story starting with “somebody save me”. You will notice that once you make it to “Habits”, Slim has completely taken over Marshall by forcing him to relapse back into his “addiction”. Guilty Conscience 2 was a NIGHTMARE that makes you think Marshall killed Slim, but he didn’t. That call to Paul was STILL part of Marshall dreaming, he actually didn’t wake up yet (like you see in a lot of movies/shows) and it wasn’t Marshall making the call, it was Shady (hints the laugh at the end) Then guess what’s after that if you go to the next track backwards? “Breaking news” (skit) and then “Houdini” starts with Marshall REALLY waking up in his bed when he receives the call from Dr. Dre letting him know that “we have a problem”, which he shows Slim Shady step out of the portal in real life. I could explain the whole story starting from “somebody save me” but there’s just too much to type. Hopefully I gave you a good enough idea of how to solve the puzzle lol. Trust me though!
If you listen to it in the normal order, it almost comes off like a tribute to the career of Eminem with him going from a gimmick that was Slim Shady to being regarded as one of the all time greats. If you listen to it in reverse, you get him relapsing back into Slim Shady.
May be a stretch to support the loop theory, but... Head Honcho ends with the sound of rain, and both Temporary & Guilty Conscience 2 start with the sound of rain .
SSLP2 is on the way. No fucking joke. It makes too much sense and there are WAY too many clues that hint towards it. Shady is the one who is pulling this “Houdini” TRICK that was mentioned during the album roll out. People are stupid if they believe that just dropping TDOSS album was the trick 🤦♂️ cmon now, Eminem is WAY more clever and detailed than that. Stay tuned 🤫
Nope, no sense, the end of Guilty with the dead of Shady make no sense for the skit and Houdini The beginning of Evil make no sens with the end of Lucifer and the end of trouble The end of Lucifer for antichrist make no sense if we listen it reverse Just be logic
@@burdman1333no man, Eminem want to say with TDSS Shady can't rap today because is not mature, because he have 51 years old, not 25/30 anymore, Eminem is mature now, his evolution like a man make he can't be Shady who are immature
If you listen to it backwards this line in Houdini makes more sense. "Sometimes I wonder what the old me would say if he could see the way shit is today". This makes sense backwards because shady hasn't made all those songs yet but if you listen to it in the presented order this sounds odd because shady has had several songs calling out the way things are currently.
Houdini placement didn't make sense to me when the tracklist came out. Very first lead single and put so many promos into it and it ends up towards the end of the album. Em puts too much effort into everything he does. Jesus Christ he's been throwing hints towards this album for years. It it that crazy to think that he made the whole album a double.
I love how nobody is entertaining the idea that maybe the story just isn't as tightly woven as people expected, and everybody is scrambling in order to fix it. Makes a million times less sense in reverse, but people find the idea of it so compelling that they'll find any patterns possible to justify it.
In guilty conscience 2 at the end he calls Paul to tell him about his dream, but on TROUBLE towards the end slim tells EM 'Yeah you thought you were dreaming huh'😵💫
another theory i’ve seen is that Slim kills Marshall on GC2, and then the rest of the album is Slim PRETENDING to be Marshall, Temporary is after GC2 because Marshall actually did die, and on Somebody Save Me, it’s actually Slim rapping about missing out on his family growing up because post Recovery (2010), Marshall put Shady away
The laugh at the end of the Guilty Conscience skit stood out to me so much; it didn't feel like it fit with the story of the album when listened to in order, but in reverse it makes so much sense.
Em lets you pick who wins. Whichever way you choose to listen to the album. That's one of the dopest concepts and what makes this a top tier Eminem album.🐐
I believe this to be true. But I also want to believe that he meant for the front to back to be a "trick". He's pretty obvious about comparing Slim and the Devil in this album, and there's a saying "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world he doesn't exist". Basically this was plausible deniability, if listened front to back. The only way Em can exist in this day and age is without slim, but the only way Slim can exist is to be Em, so he's playing facade, it's his last trick
@@cornball3448not really……… you think… Eminem… one of the best wordsmiths of this generation…. Didn’t play, or plan, his own album… backwards…. You’re the idiot here…….. I’m conceptually doing shit nobody will get unless I literally say it. Yes this theory, was thought of… by Eminem, in the booth…. Months ago…. And he did make it so it could be played both front and back. Lil Wayne did something similar with FUNERAL album. In the letters FUNERAL, upside down, it spells LIL WAYNE.
Guilty conscience 2 is about Eminem outgrowing slim shady, he’s sick of it, it’s the final battle. Him laughing at the end of the call is just him insinuating that slim will always be apart of him like he is slim inside but he clearly wants the character out of his life
Listen to the lyrics of GC2… “It’s like a dream up inside a dream, I’m trapped and it’s worse than I could’ve imagined, it’s madness. Can’t wake up, try my damnedest, but old habits are coming back and transgenders attack us, frontwards and backwards” Notice how he mentions a dream within a dream. A reference to “frontwards and backwards” And a reference to the song habits too
I just re-listened to a playlist I made sequenced so I didn’t have to skip tracks and not only did it work but the last thing he says on renaissance is “you ain’t gonna get em until your funeral……wait” and renaissance is a French word meaning rebirth👀😱🤯
“Public service announcement: the ‘death of slim shady’ is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense,” he wrote. “Enjoy.”
You made mention about Tobey and how it fits, but remember at the end of the video Marshall gets hit with a belt and then chainsawed in multiple pieces. So that too fits the reverse order plot twist.
Personally, I find entire sequences of song transitions to be perfect when listening to the album in the reverse order: Tobey - Bad One, then everything from Head Honcho to Antichrist or even Lucifer (especially Road Rage - Fuel, where it sounds like the key remains the same in the beginning of the second song!), then everything from Evil to Renaissance (the part from Brand New Dance to the end being especially narratively pleasing and coherent). Honestly, the only transition I find to be completely jarring is Lucifer - All You Got, and that should say something.
This actually makes perfect sense and explains the end of the tobey video as well where slim in the hockey mask takes out Marshall and cuts off the arm he writes with.
It is coming! there weren't any features from Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, or Royce da 5'9". 50 Cent and Dre confirmed they have features on Eminem's album during their appearance on Jimmy Kimmel.
Backwards works really well and the story becomes Marshall's decent into madness starting at GC2. And every song from there gets increasingly darker until Renaissance and shady has fully taken over. I will be listening to it this way from now on, its a fun ride. To me its like, a concept album played start to finish. But played backwards its like a true eminem album. In reverse, it really feels like a MMLP 3 or a SSLP 2. These are my thoughts!
In Guilty Conscience 2, slim voice doesn't sound right at all during that song. But as you listen to the album backward, you notice slim, shady, voice getting better throughout the album until the very last or first song when it's just slim shady rapping, and it sound like how he was in the old days. Meaning he has fully taken over.
Speaking of guilty conscience 2.. When I first listen to the album one thing did bother me. In GC 2 he 'makes peace'(if you can call it that) with everyone who he had beef with, including the likes of a certain MGK, but then later on Bad One he throws another shot at him. There's a plot hole somewhere. So listening to the album backwards made it make more sense to me. But I dunno, I'm just a gen z who knows nothing about hip hop 🙃
The ending of the tobey video never really made sense to me where it shows jason mask shady knocking out and sawing marshall, but isn't shady supposed to be dead already from GC2? In reverse order though this actually makes sense.
you forgot 1 thing... at the end of antichrist you get "wanna dance with the devil" "wanna dance with the devil" "wanna dance with the devil" repeated and bizarre leads you into lucifer!
I have a theory Houdini is actually the first song on the album, and then you listen in either order from there. It's like a loop and the beginning of the loop is Houdini hence why it dropped first
Now that I thik about it. It makes so much sense. In reverse order after guilty consciensce where hes arguing with slim he wakes up. After the skit comes huodini and ij the video slim and marshall fuses together. Every song that comes afterward the two are rapping about the same things while going back and forth until he takes over completely in renaissance. If this theory we are talkong about is true then its brilliant work from eminem.
In one song earlier in the album (can't remember which song), the portal Slim comes out of was mentioned before Houdini, the song in which Slim enters the modern world. Wouldn't make sense if that was mentioned when it was. Especially for an album you should listen to in order if the event didn't happen yet.
Eminem's album "TDOSS" tells a different story when listened to in reverse order. The theory breaks down as follows: 1. Somebody Save Me: Foreshadows Marshall’s death. 2. Guess Who’s Back: Signals the return of Slim Shady. 3. Tobey: Slim Shady shows up when things don't go as planned. 4. Bad One: Suggests Marshall's job is done and he disappears. 5. Temporary: A letter to Hailie before he dies. 6. Head Hancho: References the story of Ezekiel and Slim Shady's creation. 7. Guilty Conscience 2: Slim Shady laughs after Paul hangs up, indicating it wasn’t a dream. 8. Breaking News: Slim Shady shows Marshall the chaos he's started. 9. Houdini: Paul wishes Marshall luck, thinking he's on a tangent. 10. Road Rage: Slim dyes Marshall’s hair blonde again. 11. Fuel: Indicates the reaper is coming for Marshall. 12. Antichrist: Mentions Kurt Cobain and hints at Marshall's end. 13. Lucifer: Sets up the finale with a switch between Marshall and Slim. 14. All You Got: Slim asserts his dominance over Marshall. 15. Evil: Foreshadows Slim's complete takeover. 16. Brand New Dance: Slim shows his evil by mocking Reeves. 17. Trouble Skit: Slim drugs and ties up Marshall. 18. Habits: Marshall struggles while Slim forces him to take a pill. 19. Renaissance: Slim buries Marshall and spits his first solo track without him, hinting at the unleashing of Slim Shady in Side B.
When you hear Guilty Conscience 2 first it doesn't make sense at all. They're literally talking about the previous songs in the intro. If you listen to it in reverse the intro makes no sense at all. Also why is slim still rapping like Marshall would in Renaissance? Makes no sense at all.
Okay, I have already listened to the full album at least 7/8 times, and after I finished your video I rushed to listen in reverse, just finished and just... HOLY FUCK! On the ending of 'Renaissance' he goes: "So you can wait for your flowers until you're blue in the face Stupid, you ain't gonna get'em until your funeral, wait" And at 'Somedoby Save Me' IS more or so ABOUT HIS funeral So basically goes in a loop that can tie the story on both ends If he really estrutured his album like this with the 2 distincts narratives in mind(and at this point, I already belive he did), than he really is the FUCKING GOAT PERIOD Btw love the content, lov u from Brazil Crypt
I'm also sceptical about it. But I did listen to it in reverse, and I liked it a lot, and must admit it makes some sense. In an alternativ universe where Marshall never overcame his addiction. Somebody Save Me - Marshalls cry for help, he cannot escape his addiction to drugs, and he fears Shady's return. Guess Who's Back - Shady is coming back. Tobey - Marshall song. Bad One - Marshall song. Temporary - Marshalls last goodbye, because he's about to battle Shady and might lose(die) to Shady. Head Honcho - Marshall song. Guilty Conscience 2 - Marshalls battling Shady and he's also drinking alcohol again. (which means Shady is winning) Breaking News - Shady is taken more controll over Marshall. Houdini - Marshall tries to battle Shady again. Road Rage - Marshall vs Shady, but ends with Shady dyeing Marshalls hair blonde. From here on Shady is way more present on songs. Fuel - Eminem vs Shady Antichrist - Eminem vs Shady Lucifer - Eminem vs Shady All You Got - Shady tells Marshall he cannot win. Evil - Eminem vs Shady Brand New Dance - Shady (Marshall would never release this, it's from the vault, but Shady did, because he is evil.) Trouble - Shady is taking even more control and has Marshall drinking alcohol again. Habits - Shady has Marshall both drinking alcohol and taking drugs, now Shady is in full control and therefor Marshall "dies". Renaissance - Slim Shady song.
Damm!!!! That's interesting. I was confused when Slim laughed after Paul hung up on him. If Side B rumors are true with all slim shady rapping. The whole society is gonna lose its mind LoL 🤣.
That's probably why the songs were uploaded in reverse order on CZcams. The assumption was to have the songs listed in order, but every other album didn't do this if I remember correctly.
Oh my god, this makes so much more sense than it needs to. What really scared me is that with the context of White Gold's Bad Habits chorus being one of the last songs, it's more Shady saying some final words to Marshall. Which leads onto Renaissance: "Next Time I'll Be In Your Veins" makes so much sense since the song is entirely Slim Shady. While listening to this, I was also wondering if that promotional video of a hand popping out from the cemetery will ever be followed up on, because the closest song that references that is Somebody Save Me. What if Marshall really is being buried, and this album takes place while he's in his coffin, with Shady fighting to take control throughout the album to escape the coffin and dig his way out. The Eminem walking away after spitting on the grave could either attempt to be taken literally or as it's playing on inside his head. Marshall may have buried Shady mentally at first, but the reverse listen happens and eventually, Shady gets a single hand on Marshall and starts taking him back. I love this theory, and makes me love the album even more, weather or not it's true.
In Houdini or guilty conscious 2 he asks why they took that song off the encore album and slim is upset about it. For reverse theory I take it as he’s upset it got cut and argues about it and as he gains control he eventually releases it like he wanted to
it's becaue it's like a remake of My Band, cuz if you compare them they sound almost the exact same, and brand new dance talking about christopher reeves cuz he can't dance, but also the new shady of today if that makes sense, cuz its new for today's standards so i think that's what he means
I took it like this: Em had nightmares about Shady returning. Em wakes up from the nightmare, has a voicemail from Dre, saying they got a problem. Slim made an album and sent it to Paul and the rest of the label while Em was sleeping, hence why Em wakes up from a call from Paul about the album, after calling him in a dream. At this point, Shady is fighting to come back, and during GC2, Slim randomly brings up the Christopher Reeves song to prove to Em he's soft without him. As he gains control further and further into the album, he puts the song on the album, as an act of defiance.
It's kind of funny how you get Lucifer then Antichris on the orig order, but Antichrist ends with Bizarre asking if 'you want to dance with the Devil?' It's sort of a subliminal suggesting the alternate order.
The skit after Houdini goes into Houdini. You may mention that in this, that's just the most obvious transition when played in reverse. I also think I know the release date for the other side. Counting up to the skit & Houdini gives you track #8 & track #9. August 9th IS a friday. I just want my credit IF I'm right 😭
I saw a tweet that said Sherri Papini was missing for 3 weeks, and the plane said Slim Shady is missing. so the release date for side B might be 3 weeks after the release of the album, which would be August 2nd..
@@AnAccounteven that. I definitely don't think it's gonna be too long considering it does continue a story. MTBMBs Side A & B were damn near a year apart. I think 3 weeks to a month is fair. Also, Vinyls aren't shipping until October so I would think you'd wanna have it out before then
What’s really interesting is that in “my name is” on slim shady LP he says “I’m scared to die you’ll have to drag me to a graveyard and bury me alive” made me think of the hand coming out of the grave
Well since Houdini was the first song that he put out, then followed by Tobey this might be a better way to listen to it. All in all this album is a masterpiece!
Have you listened to the extra track (#20) Kyrie & Luka? I bought the digital download so I could get the extra song. Just listened to it again after watching this video, and if I had to guess, I’d say it’s Slim Shady singing. Would love to know your thoughts.

There is so many ways to read this album, now somebody tell me a better album than this?!
The actual 'conspiracy theory' is, because the album is heavily inspired by the South Park episode 'Joining the Panderverse', that it was actually Eminem who died in GC2, not Slim Shady and Slim Shady now commits 'identity theft' masquerading as Eminem.
The South Park episode deals with topics like Cartman being plagued by dreams of himself from another universe, PC culture, multiversal portal jumping and mistaken identity.
Seem familiar?
Remember, Eminem set up the South Park connection in Habits, asking you if his rhymes would be ok if South Park did them.
What solidifies the Reverse concept and there being more is the fact that this concept was inspired by the Superman comic series. There’s a THREE part Superman series that was made from 1991-1993. Guess what the first comic was titled? “THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN”. 2nd was titled “The world without Superman”. And the 3rd was titled “The Return of Superman”. Take that, all of you stubborn/LAME Eminem “fans” who sadly lost their fun and creative
Minds. 😏
@@burdman1333interesting take. Eminem even states in his lyrics he was a comic book nerd. 😮
Damn, I just can’t stop listening to this album. Tried it in reverse. Masterpiece. People can say what they want about EMINEM. He talks his shit, is honest, weaves intricate stories and does it all better than any other rapper. Period. The man’s a legend in his own time. 🔥
If this is legit, Eminem is a damn genius.
What I've realized is that there are no coincidences when it comes to Em. If people found out something in his songs/albums, he thought about it already.
Don’t forget, this album is AT LEAST 4 years in the making.
Nothing is out limits.
There is a reason why posters say “shady missing” and not ‘dead’. And why there is a skit OUTSIDE of the album.
Now, I’m not sure about the backwards order (still need to listen to that), but side b, is almost certain. There are confirmed feature that are not out. (Royce, Dre, and another I forgot)
This was a shady album and he will put out a Eminem album soon.
@@FiryaFYI another feature may be Ed Sheeran
He's been a Genius! Lol. The Goat!!!
Eminem watching this be like - what the fuck guys....
True
Then he hears shady's laugh as it was his plan all along.
Honestly Eminem could totally pull off something like this. I wouldn't be surprised.
@@AnAccountI woulndt be surprised if we also over think it as well. I woulndt be surprised either way
There are no coincidences when it comes to Eminem. There’s WAY too many clues and hints and the story told starting from “somebody save me” is way too obvious when you take the time to connect the puzzle. If you know the big magic trick that he pulled, please inform all of us because Slim Shady making us think that he’s dead is the only magic trick that I see and the only one that makes any sense at all after realizing there was a puzzle. And since it is a concept album that’s supposed to make sense by playing it in order, explain why in “renaissance” it’s only Slim Shady rapping without it being a “dream/nightmare” explanation. Explain why “Houdini” was track #11. It ONLY being Slim Shady on Renaissance without it being a dream ONLY makes sense if you listen to the story starting with “somebody save me”. You will notice that once you make it to “Habits”, Slim has completely taken over Marshall by forcing him to relapse back into his “addiction”. Guilty Conscience 2 was a NIGHTMARE that makes you think Marshall killed Slim, but he didn’t. That call to Paul was STILL part of Marshall dreaming, he actually didn’t wake up yet (like you see in a lot of movies/shows) and it wasn’t Marshall making the call, it was Shady (hints the laugh at the end) Then guess what’s after that if you go to the next track backwards? “Breaking news” (skit) and then “Houdini” starts with Marshall REALLY waking up in his bed when he receives the call from Dr. Dre letting him know that “we have a problem”, which he shows Slim Shady step out of the portal in real life. I could explain the whole story starting from “somebody save me” but there’s just too much to type. Hopefully I gave you a good enough idea of how to solve the puzzle lol. Trust me though!
If you listen to it in the normal order, it almost comes off like a tribute to the career of Eminem with him going from a gimmick that was Slim Shady to being regarded as one of the all time greats.
If you listen to it in reverse, you get him relapsing back into Slim Shady.
May be a stretch to support the loop theory, but... Head Honcho ends with the sound of rain, and both Temporary & Guilty Conscience 2 start with the sound of rain .
when he calls Paul he says "I woke up but it was like I was still dreaming" and then you can hear slim laugh
Good take❤
He's still with us! He is just missing at the moment 😂
I was wondering why noone caught on that 🎉
Also when I'm gone is playing in the background in one of the skits
But there is a reason why Shady didn't die. Its because none of this is real!
Bizarre feature makes more sense in reverse order
It really does. The whole album almost makes more sense backwards
This makes sense listening to the album in reverse, because even when it was uploaded on CZcams it was uploaded in reverse on Eminem's channel.
Agree. I was like why the songs were uploaded the other way around
Imagine it was suppose to be listened backwards and that slim shady has come back and he releases another album following year
Or next month.
halloween
SSLP2 is on the way. No fucking joke. It makes too much sense and there are WAY too many clues that hint towards it. Shady is the one who is pulling this “Houdini” TRICK that was mentioned during the album roll out. People are stupid if they believe that just dropping TDOSS album was the trick 🤦♂️ cmon now, Eminem is WAY more clever and detailed than that. Stay tuned 🤫
Nope, no sense, the end of Guilty with the dead of Shady make no sense for the skit and Houdini
The beginning of Evil make no sens with the end of Lucifer and the end of trouble
The end of Lucifer for antichrist make no sense if we listen it reverse
Just be logic
@@burdman1333no man, Eminem want to say with TDSS Shady can't rap today because is not mature, because he have 51 years old, not 25/30 anymore, Eminem is mature now, his evolution like a man make he can't be Shady who are immature
If you listen to it backwards this line in Houdini makes more sense. "Sometimes I wonder what the old me would say if he could see the way shit is today". This makes sense backwards because shady hasn't made all those songs yet but if you listen to it in the presented order this sounds odd because shady has had several songs calling out the way things are currently.
Exactly
Houdini placement didn't make sense to me when the tracklist came out. Very first lead single and put so many promos into it and it ends up towards the end of the album. Em puts too much effort into everything he does. Jesus Christ he's been throwing hints towards this album for years. It it that crazy to think that he made the whole album a double.
Especially cuz slim pops his head out an says “if what?” Like this reverse theorys got my gears spinning this is 🔥
I love how nobody is entertaining the idea that maybe the story just isn't as tightly woven as people expected, and everybody is scrambling in order to fix it. Makes a million times less sense in reverse, but people find the idea of it so compelling that they'll find any patterns possible to justify it.
@@Yohoatmake it not make sense in reverse 😂
The fact that this theory exists proves just how good Eminem is with writing and storytelling
In guilty conscience 2 at the end he calls Paul to tell him about his dream, but on TROUBLE towards the end slim tells EM 'Yeah you thought you were dreaming huh'😵💫
another theory i’ve seen is that Slim kills Marshall on GC2, and then the rest of the album is Slim PRETENDING to be Marshall, Temporary is after GC2 because Marshall actually did die, and on Somebody Save Me, it’s actually Slim rapping about missing out on his family growing up because post Recovery (2010), Marshall put Shady away
That makes sence
@@xaviersoulmusic thats a big reach buddy
@@steverioux5610 ay don’t shoot the messenger
I love how far these theories can go because you never know what’s exactly right or wrong and it’s all apart of the fun
Well slim killed Marshall in the tobey vid
I still think it'd be a cool concept that if each song played in different orders created different stories.
Maybe that's what marshall ment by saying " I never said witch order" that would be sick tho

The laugh at the end of the Guilty Conscience skit stood out to me so much; it didn't feel like it fit with the story of the album when listened to in order, but in reverse it makes so much sense.
Em lets you pick who wins. Whichever way you choose to listen to the album. That's one of the dopest concepts and what makes this a top tier Eminem album.🐐
I believe this to be true. But I also want to believe that he meant for the front to back to be a "trick". He's pretty obvious about comparing Slim and the Devil in this album, and there's a saying "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world he doesn't exist". Basically this was plausible deniability, if listened front to back. The only way Em can exist in this day and age is without slim, but the only way Slim can exist is to be Em, so he's playing facade, it's his last trick
THE ONLY MF WHOSE GOT THE CONCEPT NOW
It’s a hell of a reach
@@cornball3448not really……… you think… Eminem… one of the best wordsmiths of this generation…. Didn’t play, or plan, his own album… backwards…. You’re the idiot here…….. I’m conceptually doing shit nobody will get unless I literally say it.
Yes this theory, was thought of… by Eminem, in the booth…. Months ago…. And he did make it so it could be played both front and back.
Lil Wayne did something similar with FUNERAL album.
In the letters FUNERAL, upside down, it spells LIL WAYNE.
Guilty conscience doesn’t lead into breaking news well at all tho, and head honcho doesn’t lead into guilty conscience well at all either
@@JamesBaccy also marshall doesnt die at any point
Guilty conscience 2 is about Eminem outgrowing slim shady, he’s sick of it, it’s the final battle. Him laughing at the end of the call is just him insinuating that slim will always be apart of him like he is slim inside but he clearly wants the character out of his life
i was kind of wondering why Houdini came near the end, even though the video implies that it should come in the beginning
I was really hoping Crypt would get messages about this n I'm happy 😎
Listen to the lyrics of GC2… “It’s like a dream up inside a dream, I’m trapped and it’s worse than I could’ve imagined, it’s madness. Can’t wake up, try my damnedest, but old habits are coming back and transgenders attack us, frontwards and backwards”
Notice how he mentions a dream within a dream.
A reference to “frontwards and backwards”
And a reference to the song habits too
Eminems youtube channel released the tracks in reverse order. Could be something?
That’s big, it’s always usually released in the order of the track list, then put in a playlist in order
@@Ian_nimmouse121not always actually, YT often uploads tracklists backwards lol
@@user-hh8jh7cj4h oh really? I’ve never seen that personally
Ya. I listened to the whole CD backwards the first time without even knowing any of this
well they have to to make it actually be in the front to back order
I just re-listened to a playlist I made sequenced so I didn’t have to skip tracks and not only did it work but the last thing he says on renaissance is “you ain’t gonna get em until your funeral……wait” and renaissance is a French word meaning rebirth👀😱🤯
That's how I first listened to it because that's the order it was uploaded in on youtube.
I feel like the wake up bits are a call back to Bad Guy from MMLP2 at the end when he says "I'm the nightmare that you woke up still in"
“Public service announcement: the ‘death of slim shady’ is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense,” he wrote. “Enjoy.”
You made mention about Tobey and how it fits, but remember at the end of the video Marshall gets hit with a belt and then chainsawed in multiple pieces. So that too fits the reverse order plot twist.
in Evil before the chorus starts he says "guess i just choose to stay evil" which could point to him doing just that
Twin whoes so evil so evil
Reminds me of “cuz love is evil, spell it backwards I’ll show ya”
Thats Shady taking over by the end of the album(Start of the album, reverse)
Evil-Live😮
This makes sense because Shady is opening his eyes in the bodybag, hinting at him not being dead.
"I don't wanna go it's too scary to die I'll have to be carried to the cemetery and buried alive"

@@user-ir6tb4is1j Yeah. It was one of his magic tricks
Personally, I find entire sequences of song transitions to be perfect when listening to the album in the reverse order: Tobey - Bad One, then everything from Head Honcho to Antichrist or even Lucifer (especially Road Rage - Fuel, where it sounds like the key remains the same in the beginning of the second song!), then everything from Evil to Renaissance (the part from Brand New Dance to the end being especially narratively pleasing and coherent).
Honestly, the only transition I find to be completely jarring is Lucifer - All You Got, and that should say something.
The fact that this all makes so much sense only further solidifies this album’s immediate classic status. What a ride.
Marshall's a genius...it's mind-blowing, the album.
"For my next trick"

DAMN. So the whole album is a double!! Only M..
Great break down Crypt..
And this is why I sub to Crypt. Articulate and done his homework. Def one of the top 3 reactors! Good job Bro, loving your work.
He did say listen to the album in order but he never specified which way.
Oh
Oh Shit!
Exactly
Yup. And the album was released in reverse order on youtube. I could bring up more points that tie into that but I can t be bothered to type that much
@ericbelander2319 I, wouldn't type a book either. We can leave the theories and explanations to someone else.
How did you all forget the song “my darling” it’s a continuation, the entire album is, you all need to go and listen back to “my darling”

Don’t forget in the Tobey MV Slim kills Em… I think there might be something to this theory. 🤔

You wish😂
Hell
I WISH 😅
That’s the CATCH. It is side B. It’s a second story.
It is coming! there weren't any features from Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, or Royce da 5'9". 50 Cent and Dre confirmed they have features on Eminem's album during their appearance on Jimmy Kimmel.
@@SoullessBeats.Dr Dre was the only one that said he’s on it and he is. He produced Lucifer and Road Rage

Missed the 2 bonus tracks
Crypt isn't pregnant, but he always delivers
Underrated comment 🤣
Ha!. Bars

BARS!
Now that’s a new one.
That album is fire
Backwards works really well and the story becomes Marshall's decent into madness starting at GC2. And every song from there gets increasingly darker until Renaissance and shady has fully taken over. I will be listening to it this way from now on, its a fun ride. To me its like, a concept album played start to finish. But played backwards its like a true eminem album. In reverse, it really feels like a MMLP 3 or a SSLP 2. These are my thoughts!
Proper order: Good Ending
Reverse order: Bad Ending
You have to listen to Bonus Track #2 - Like My Sh*t. Shady delivering
You forget the fact that In Guilty conscience 2 Slim shady laughs in the ends AFTER Paul hangs up
In Guilty Conscience 2, slim voice doesn't sound right at all during that song. But as you listen to the album backward, you notice slim, shady, voice getting better throughout the album until the very last or first song when it's just slim shady rapping, and it sound like how he was in the old days.
Meaning he has fully taken over.
Speaking of guilty conscience 2..
When I first listen to the album one thing did bother me.
In GC 2 he 'makes peace'(if you can call it that) with everyone who he had beef with, including the likes of a certain MGK, but then later on Bad One he throws another shot at him. There's a plot hole somewhere. So listening to the album backwards made it make more sense to me. But I dunno, I'm just a gen z who knows nothing about hip hop 🙃
Just got to the part where crypt says the same thing I said lol
Makes the part where they mix the voices together even more cool
thats why i flipped over the title of the song, “renaissance” literally means the revival of art
At Minute 3 on GC2 Slims Voice comes to the force.
I also saw that Spotify updated the art for the real slim shady with a missing person poster of shady
The ending of the tobey video never really made sense to me where it shows jason mask shady knocking out and sawing marshall, but isn't shady supposed to be dead already from GC2? In reverse order though this actually makes sense.
Also on guilty conscience, after Paul hangs up shady laughs. Which could also show that it’s shady
you forgot 1 thing... at the end of antichrist you get "wanna dance with the devil" "wanna dance with the devil" "wanna dance with the devil" repeated and bizarre leads you into lucifer!
The greatest trick the devil pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist.
And at the lucifer, the final word is antichrist, directly before antichrist plays.
Almost like forwards is the correct way!
@@Yohoat antichrist was mentioned to tell everyone dre was on the beat!!!
@@Yohoatur fun at parties huh bud
@@Yohoatem says I’m Lucifer and dre is the producer for the antichrist. could’ve gone either way.
What if the correct order is neither front or back and we just dont have the map to which way it should be played yet
I have a theory Houdini is actually the first song on the album, and then you listen in either order from there. It's like a loop and the beginning of the loop is Houdini hence why it dropped first
That would be a very eminem thing to do. Make the songs link into eachother from top to bottom but have the actual order be bottom to top.
We need an interview with shady /eminem /Marshall to figure out and put this shit to bed
It's like a thriller movie and rap at the same time
Now that I thik about it. It makes so much sense. In reverse order after guilty consciensce where hes arguing with slim he wakes up. After the skit comes huodini and ij the video slim and marshall fuses together. Every song that comes afterward the two are rapping about the same things while going back and forth until he takes over completely in renaissance. If this theory we are talkong about is true then its brilliant work from eminem.
In one song earlier in the album (can't remember which song), the portal Slim comes out of was mentioned before Houdini, the song in which Slim enters the modern world. Wouldn't make sense if that was mentioned when it was. Especially for an album you should listen to in order if the event didn't happen yet.
Eminem's album "TDOSS" tells a different story when listened to in reverse order. The theory breaks down as follows:
1. Somebody Save Me: Foreshadows Marshall’s death.
2. Guess Who’s Back: Signals the return of Slim Shady.
3. Tobey: Slim Shady shows up when things don't go as planned.
4. Bad One: Suggests Marshall's job is done and he disappears.
5. Temporary: A letter to Hailie before he dies.
6. Head Hancho: References the story of Ezekiel and Slim Shady's creation.
7. Guilty Conscience 2: Slim Shady laughs after Paul hangs up, indicating it wasn’t a dream.
8. Breaking News: Slim Shady shows Marshall the chaos he's started.
9. Houdini: Paul wishes Marshall luck, thinking he's on a tangent.
10. Road Rage: Slim dyes Marshall’s hair blonde again.
11. Fuel: Indicates the reaper is coming for Marshall.
12. Antichrist: Mentions Kurt Cobain and hints at Marshall's end.
13. Lucifer: Sets up the finale with a switch between Marshall and Slim.
14. All You Got: Slim asserts his dominance over Marshall.
15. Evil: Foreshadows Slim's complete takeover.
16. Brand New Dance: Slim shows his evil by mocking Reeves.
17. Trouble Skit: Slim drugs and ties up Marshall.
18. Habits: Marshall struggles while Slim forces him to take a pill.
19. Renaissance: Slim buries Marshall and spits his first solo track without him, hinting at the unleashing of Slim Shady in Side B.
When you hear Guilty Conscience 2 first it doesn't make sense at all. They're literally talking about the previous songs in the intro. If you listen to it in reverse the intro makes no sense at all. Also why is slim still rapping like Marshall would in Renaissance? Makes no sense at all.
Awesome stuff, major DAMN. Vibes I love it
Okay, I have already listened to the full album at least 7/8 times, and after I finished your video I rushed to listen in reverse, just finished and just...
HOLY FUCK! On the ending of 'Renaissance' he goes:
"So you can wait for your flowers until you're blue in the face
Stupid, you ain't gonna get'em until your funeral, wait"
And at 'Somedoby Save Me' IS more or so ABOUT HIS funeral
So basically goes in a loop that can tie the story on both ends
If he really estrutured his album like this with the 2 distincts narratives in mind(and at this point, I already belive he did), than he really is the FUCKING GOAT PERIOD
Btw love the content, lov u from Brazil Crypt
I'm also sceptical about it. But I did listen to it in reverse, and I liked it a lot, and must admit it makes some sense.
In an alternativ universe where Marshall never overcame his addiction.
Somebody Save Me - Marshalls cry for help, he cannot escape his addiction to drugs, and he fears Shady's return.
Guess Who's Back - Shady is coming back.
Tobey - Marshall song.
Bad One - Marshall song.
Temporary - Marshalls last goodbye, because he's about to battle Shady and might lose(die) to Shady.
Head Honcho - Marshall song.
Guilty Conscience 2 - Marshalls battling Shady and he's also drinking alcohol again. (which means Shady is winning)
Breaking News - Shady is taken more controll over Marshall.
Houdini - Marshall tries to battle Shady again.
Road Rage - Marshall vs Shady, but ends with Shady dyeing Marshalls hair blonde. From here on Shady is way more present on songs.
Fuel - Eminem vs Shady
Antichrist - Eminem vs Shady
Lucifer - Eminem vs Shady
All You Got - Shady tells Marshall he cannot win.
Evil - Eminem vs Shady
Brand New Dance - Shady (Marshall would never release this, it's from the vault, but Shady did, because he is evil.)
Trouble - Shady is taking even more control and has Marshall drinking alcohol again.
Habits - Shady has Marshall both drinking alcohol and taking drugs, now Shady is in full control and therefor Marshall "dies".
Renaissance - Slim Shady song.
Damm!!!! That's interesting. I was confused when Slim laughed after Paul hung up on him. If Side B rumors are true with all slim shady rapping. The whole society is gonna lose its mind LoL 🤣.
Reverse makes way more sense. And for a guy that makes a whole song that’s a double. I wouldn’t put it past him.
I mean I don't think it makes that much sense since I don't understand how Lucifer transitions to all you got(skit)
That's probably why the songs were uploaded in reverse order on CZcams. The assumption was to have the songs listed in order, but every other album didn't do this if I remember correctly.
Oh my god, this makes so much more sense than it needs to. What really scared me is that with the context of White Gold's Bad Habits chorus being one of the last songs, it's more Shady saying some final words to Marshall. Which leads onto Renaissance: "Next Time I'll Be In Your Veins" makes so much sense since the song is entirely Slim Shady.
While listening to this, I was also wondering if that promotional video of a hand popping out from the cemetery will ever be followed up on, because the closest song that references that is Somebody Save Me. What if Marshall really is being buried, and this album takes place while he's in his coffin, with Shady fighting to take control throughout the album to escape the coffin and dig his way out. The Eminem walking away after spitting on the grave could either attempt to be taken literally or as it's playing on inside his head. Marshall may have buried Shady mentally at first, but the reverse listen happens and eventually, Shady gets a single hand on Marshall and starts taking him back.
I love this theory, and makes me love the album even more, weather or not it's true.
Damn that is crazy. I definitely am going to listen to it in reverse now.
He says "Feels so good to be..... DEAD"

@@chris4486I thought it was bad too

You're right! I heard him say Dead too, and still do. If you listen closely, Marshall quietly says bad, and Slim says pauses, then says, "dead".

I just heard it in reverse, and it definitely makes more sense now! Classic 10/10 album for me either way you hear it.
The thing that doesn’t make sense in reverse is Eminem talking about Brand New Dance in a later song.
In Houdini or guilty conscious 2 he asks why they took that song off the encore album and slim is upset about it. For reverse theory I take it as he’s upset it got cut and argues about it and as he gains control he eventually releases it like he wanted to
@@BeconBacontrue
it's becaue it's like a remake of My Band, cuz if you compare them they sound almost the exact same, and brand new dance talking about christopher reeves cuz he can't dance, but also the new shady of today if that makes sense, cuz its new for today's standards so i think that's what he means
My "theory" is that Brand New Dance is mentioned then Slim puts it on the album after he kills off Marshall.
I took it like this:
Em had nightmares about Shady returning. Em wakes up from the nightmare, has a voicemail from Dre, saying they got a problem. Slim made an album and sent it to Paul and the rest of the label while Em was sleeping, hence why Em wakes up from a call from Paul about the album, after calling him in a dream. At this point, Shady is fighting to come back, and during GC2, Slim randomly brings up the Christopher Reeves song to prove to Em he's soft without him. As he gains control further and further into the album, he puts the song on the album, as an act of defiance.
But in the end this is just a theory a music theory. Nah but for real this is pretty interesting.
Slim shady is like a venom symbiote man😂
The breaking point is the teaser with the tombstone, the white sneakers from houdini video are shady's, Em was wearing black sneakers
It's kind of funny how you get Lucifer then Antichris on the orig order, but Antichrist ends with Bizarre asking if 'you want to dance with the Devil?'
It's sort of a subliminal suggesting the alternate order.
The skit after Houdini goes into Houdini. You may mention that in this, that's just the most obvious transition when played in reverse. I also think I know the release date for the other side. Counting up to the skit & Houdini gives you track #8 & track #9. August 9th IS a friday. I just want my credit IF I'm right 😭
I saw a tweet that said Sherri Papini was missing for 3 weeks, and the plane said Slim Shady is missing. so the release date for side B might be 3 weeks after the release of the album, which would be August 2nd..

Well since Houdini was the first song that he put out, then followed by Tobey this might be a better way to listen to it. All in all this album is a masterpiece!
Somebody save me was uploaded on YT first, so it would make sense that it needs to be listened to in reverse.
Or that when you watch on CZcams the songs autoplay in the album order?
This is so dope 🔥🔥
Have you listened to the extra track (#20) Kyrie & Luka? I bought the digital download so I could get the extra song. Just listened to it again after watching this video, and if I had to guess, I’d say it’s Slim Shady singing. Would love to know your thoughts.
