Are we gonna act like this isn't a marketing strategy from Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/TDE ?

Are we gonna act like they didn't use the hottest rapper right now (Kendrick) for some Eminem promotion ? I'm not saying that Em needs promotion but this is way more effective than a tweet from Paul, that verse is even making headlines in the newspapers lmao.

Are we gonna act like Eminem isn't going to rap his freestyle over this same beat ? I'm talking about his freestyles that usually lead to the release of his albums.

Are we gonna act like the first rapper to respond isn't someone from Shady Records ? Are we gonna act like that shady records artist isn't getting played on the radio right now ? They only play the songs from Interscope on the radio

Are we gonna act like The Game didn't delete a tweet where he said that Kendrick was going to ether a lot of rappers with a final diss track ?

Are we gonna act like this diss track won't feature Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock in order to get Schoolboy Q more buzz because his new single flopped ?

Are we gonna act like Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/TDE didn't win ?

It's really not all that farfetched for the shyt to be true.

With the climate being less about lyrics (and Kendrick being the closest MAINSTREAM artist to Eminem in terms of style, flow, and ability), if Em drops without "Control" ever coming out and causing the stir it did, Em dropping an album might not be a good look. Of course he's bound to sell decently because he's Eminem, but this is a new era in terms of record sales. A scary one, to artists AND labels. And after Relapse and Recovery, and the current climate being less about lyrics than swag, anything short of a good release from Interscope's Jesus would be a huge loss, after his last two albums.

With the mainstream focus now back on lyricism and battling for the moment, what better time to put out Em's new shyt than now. They're labelmates, friends, and Em can't diss anybody (which is his forte) without getting looked at like a hater. Dissing nikkas isn't what's hot obviously. Especially dissing someone successful. A lot of fans would eat him alive, clown him on Twitter, etc being the fickle and "spur of the moment" dikkriders they are...Imagine Em coming at Wayne circa 2007. TELL me nikkas wouldn't be on some fukk Eminem shyt...I thought so.

We already know on Recovery that Em wasn't feeling Ye or Weezy & wanted to come at their necks. Now, that's possible as well as any other rappers he wants to get at, with the focus being where it is now. It's more "welcoming" to an artist like Em to hop back in and somehow come back in epic fashion.

If you nikkas are paying attention, and ain't sleep just cuz he dropped two wack albums...if the last BET cipher was any proof, he still has shyt left in the tank. To be honest, the balls in his court now, and he has a chance to shed the cornball image/bars of recent past and make a HELL of a comeback. Watch what I say. And I ain't no stan or none of that shyt. Don't put it past these labels, execs, and labelmate rappers to sit and strategize all this. In the end it's more money, fame, and good music coming to and from the same source, which equals $$$.

In theory, in a few short months, the trap subgenre and nikkas like Keef, Gucci, Wayne etc could be done for good. Not done making music, but done being what's hot in the mainstream eye. This is the type of shyt most hip-hop fans & 80s babies been waiting for, and to be honest, it just may start to bring record sales back if the consumer now KNOWS that mainstream rap albums for the most part is substance-filled, lyric, reality & metaphor laden works of art artists are taking their time with. Even though technology played a part, it's no coincidence that once snap music and a bunch of other wack subgenres came out, record sales dwindled.

I wouldn't even be surprised if this schemes been in the works for years, you seen the money Interscope put behind Kendrick. Suddenly thrust into the stratosphere, best selling record of the year, all over the BET awards a year ago, etc...THINK, nikkas. In essence, Kendrick just set the table for Em to eat.....better.
