Content
Overall, the song finds Eminem's alter ego, Slim Shady, lambasting political correctness,[1] particularly attacking Generation Z[2][3] and the surrounding "woke" cultural climate,[2][3][4] saying he wishes for society to return to its ways in 2003.[4] He also addresses the controversies related to his music ("Who else is as pitiless, actually witty and crass / Hideous, ghastly and insidious as me?").[3] In the second verse, he references the video of Diddy physically assaulting his former partner Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016 (although censoring Cassie's name),[1] threatening to hurt his critics in the same manner.[5]

Critical reception
The song received generally positive reviews from critics, with Eminem's wordplay, humor and use of homophones in particular being praised.
Karan Singh of HipHopDX deemed the lyrics that refer to Diddy to be one of the "celebrity references made in poor taste" on The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).[5] Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop described the rhyme schemes on the song as among the "Comically crude, wildly impressive, and deep moments" in the album.[6] Sy Shackleford of RapReviews commented the song "has a playful beat and shows Em's mastery of wordplay, homophones, and flow, particularly on the third verse".[7]
