Alright.
Trevor Anderson:
I think it's crazy that someone who's spent their entire life, you know, with all these kids doing it since they were teenagers, maybe even before, says when you get to a certain age, stop.
Damien Scott:
If you were to write down on a piece of paper what Big Sean's career is, it all equates to superstar.

In case you missed the message, The Death of Slim ShadyPreviously released singles “Houdini,” “Tobey” featuring BabyTron, Big Sean. Album packed with features: Jelly Roll, Skylar Grey, a familiar face, you know, known for cooking up great records with Em.
Damien Scott:
Went back.
Carl Lamarre:
Yeah.
Kyle Denis:
It was a welcome voice.
Carl Lamarre:
Lots of Dr. Dre production. I think Ex Mil, that's the artist that signed with Shady, was also on the record. First impressions of this album… What do you think?
Damien Scott:
I like it. We're talking about this in the office. I think my favorite album from Eminem's late stage is KamikazeIt's 12 tracks, very focused. He talks about his detractors, some personal things in his life, like the breakup of D12. And he's giving his final thoughts on his relationship with, I think, the mother of his baby. Great, amazing rap, good collaborations.
