Ok, so everyone here seems to agree Em wants to end the Slim Shady persona. It makes sense because
1). In Eminem Show, Without Me says "Cuz nobody wants to see Marshall no more, they want Shady..."
2). Encore has Just Lose It which has the same "Guess who's back back again"
3). Curtain Call has When I'm Gone having "Die Shady and pop it".
The beginning of the show, the return of the show again, and the ending bow for applause.
But I do have a few questions if Eminem is going to retire Slim Shady. One is...what is up with the FACK song? For those who have heard it...it seems very much Shady. My guess is that it's his last Shady Song, with definately a bit of Ken Kaniff involved, but if he wants to kill Shady, why did he come up with it?!
Another more important question I've always had is what is going to go on with D12? Is it going with D11 now, since there will no longer be a Slim Shady?
