Hip-hop artists D-Sisive and Ian Kamau, and music critic Maura Johnston discuss the legacy of Eminem, and the controversial cultural debates that the Detroit emcee has sparked over the decades.
: The idea of Eminem trying to put to bed this Jungian shadow that you mentioned in this album, Maura, that's the concept of the new album. Marshall Mathers is going to battle. He's been kidnapped by Slim Shady, they're going to battle it out and only one of them can survive. There is a lot of juvenilia around this album, but also there's a lot of like, "Do I really need to be doing this? I'm 52 years old, you know?" on this album as well.
