Eminem has released his tenth album called Kamikaze, which is available now.

 

From Twitter:

Tried not 2 overthink this 1... enjoy. 🖕

 

#KAMIKAZE Out Now - http://shady.sr/Kamikaze

Can't wait to continue the perpetual saga of 'maybe this one will be good though?' with every new Eminem album this decade (well TMMLP2 was decent).

wait what

1000000x better than Revival (and I liked Revival)

New album out of the blue?? Am I reading that right?

Eminem bingo: only took him 3 minutes to use the word 'r*tarded'! Will we get a 'f*ggot' or two by the 10-minute mark? :thinking:

 

(Pretty good flow and beats so far though)

 

Edit: I like 'Paul (Skit)'

Hey Em, It's Paul. Umm, I listened to the new album. Umm, are you really gonna just reply to everybody who you don't like what they have to say, uh, about you or the stuff you're working on? I mean, I don't know if that's really a great idea; its-its like, what's next? Kamikaze 2, the album where you reply to everybody who didn't like the album that you made replying to everybody that didn't like the previous album. It's a slippery slope. I-I don't know if it's a really good idea. Uh, anyway, hit me back

Surprisingly it takes until Fall (track 10!) for him to say it!

Surprisingly it was in good taste this time, it was a diss/reference to Tyler, The Creator who famously got banned from the UK for saying 'f*****' consistently in his old music.

It's as if he's realised his double standards through seeing what happened to Tyler and now he makes sure he doesn't say it!

"Fall" and "Kamikaze" are switched on Apple Music and Spotify... "Fall" is 3:36 / track 9 on Apple Music and 4:22 / track 10 on Spotify; "Kamikaze" is 3:36 / track 9 on Spotify and 4:22 / track 10 on Apple Music. CONFUSED.COM which one is which? :unsure:

There’s no sign of when this will get a physical release

The first two tracks are really, really good.

this is really unlistenable, you can see why he's underperformed so much lately, especially in the US, he's stuck in 2002 (like Anne Marie) ;)

Nevermind that the sound of this album is completely different to 'Revival' and a return to his older sound that his fans have been wanting for years...

Don't think he's underperformed tbh, a #1 album and #1 single is good for any artist in this climate.

But it’s still a contemporary Eminem song, meaning it’s full of chillingly bad lines, none more reckless than his homophobic dart aimed at Tyler, The Creator—an artist who often went to bat for 2009’s Relapse, a record that not many others defended. He then proceeds to call Earl Sweatshirt “Earl the Hooded Sweater,” painfully asserts his accolades to make sure we know he’s not washed, and, of course, drops a metaphor involving his ballsack. (He also doesn’t hold Pitchfork in higher regard, apparently.) The song is just a catalog of cringe, one that cements Eminem’s status a rusting relic from rap’s past.

(He also doesn’t hold Pitchfork in higher regard, apparently.)

 

Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver, featured on the song) has also said he wants to 'kill' it:

Now, Vernon has taken to Twitter to address the song. “Was not in the studio for the Eminem track,” he wrote, responding to a fan. “Came from a session with BJ Burton and Mike Will. Not a fan of the message, it’s tired. Asked them to change the track, wouldn’t do it.”

 

In subsequent tweets, Vernon wrote that while he thinks Eminem is one of the best rappers of all time, “This is not the time to criticize youth, it’s the time to listen. To act. It is certainly not the time for slurs.” He then went on to say, “I was wrong and we are gonna kill this track.”

This album went over my head on first listen. Though I haven't enjoyed a whole body of work from Eminem in a decade and a half!

And you call it Kamikaze despite the fact that it's obviously License To Ill.
