The 10th track on Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady featuring Dem Jointz and Sly Pyper is the rapper’s satirical take on modern society, addressing issues of identity, political correctness, and the current “beauty standards” as well as obesity. Sly Pyper’s chorus further voices the ensuing simmering aggression and the symbolic “road rage” that comes with this sociopolitical climate and the need to conform to these norms. The interlude also features an argument between Eminem and his alter ego, Slim Shady, which highlights the internal conflict between his reflective, socially aware side and the rebellious provocateur within.
