Still Bezerk: The Eminem Retrospective Part 2 - RPC Jukebox #8

December 22, 2021 by Joshua Lozano in Music, Musings, RPC Jukebox


Previously on RPC Jukebox: Captain Kaye was joined by Nick and Haley to discuss the long and winding road that is Eminem's career. And now, they lose themselves in the later half of his discography.

How’s it going, fellow Renegades? It’s THE DIRECTOR back to bring you the thrilling conclusion of our crew discussing the Real Slim Shady. If you recall, he started off with relative promise with his mixtapes before absolutely EXPLODING onto the music scene with his lewd, crude and rude lyrics that made him absolutely dynamic!

The thing is… how is the rest of his career? Did he fly too close to the sun too early in his career? Or is he like a phoenix rising from the ashes to show he’s not afraid of the modern music scene?

Well, I can’t tell you… you’ll have to listen to find out!

That’ll do it for this episode! Special thanks to Jacob for editing this episode! Hang the lights high on your houses, and ready yourselves to have a new podcast episode shimmy down your chimney real soon…
