Eminem - Kamikaze (Discussion Thread)

[Methodical]

Because when Jimmy went to Apple to work with Dr. Dre that was a huge deal, so people didn't know whether he was gonna still run Interscope. He wound up leaving.

Besides, when any of these big labels that have a bunch of hip-hop artists on em, you wanna know who's the guy running it so you know who to blame if shyt doesn't work out with your favorite artist.

Knew about Apple with Dre but didn't know he left Interscope. Now it all make damn sense.

Best verse on this album ain't even Eminem's.

I'd say eminem is , but that would insinuate that eminem was good at one point.

Googled the chick on this album, she got a weird ugly but sexy look to her Dunno what it is..type of chick I'd see in a stomachlines thread

 

[BK The Great]

The intro alone is better than pretty much every song on the last album.

I'm hoping Em finally did what some Em fans here were hoping for and dropped a hip hop album with hip hop beats

Naw. I'd say it's pretty much on par with Offended and Chloroseptic which were the best two songs on Revival imo.

Can someone pass the mustard please?

 

[MIKE SPLEAN]

Yea

First time I've felt like re-listening to this shyt in YEARS.

Thats a success alone for Em.

So you are more for the sociallly conditioned implications of the situation rather than the music itself? because sonically and lyrically eminem's flow is better than his younger counterparts on this album. His art is simply superior here, are u for the art or some socially induced idea of things? Because that doesnt really have a place here and is not what you should be focused on. Which is better? Thats it.

Age has little to do with it, these people are not wack because they are young, they are wack bc they are wack. You people just accept it bc your friends do...lets be honest.

Well this is where we fundamentally disagree, because I don't find "You worship D12's balls, you're sacrilegious" to be superior art. I don't find it artful at all. In fact, I find it the exact opposite of art. It's trash.

Besides being one of the corniest punches Ive ever heard in my life, he's just coming off like a hypersensitive bytch. Dude can't handle anyone criticizing Revival even though he knows deep down Revival is ass juice...can't handle a dude saying his daughter is hot even though he spent an entire career taking about raping female pop stars. His hypocrisy is annoying AF...

Subject matter has always been Marshall's Achilles heel. He ain't got nothing of relevance to say, that's why he's spending a whole album whining that people didn't like his last album. This is why the Paul skits are always my favorite parts of Em's albums.

I'm all for battling in hip hop too but his reasons for dissing is just lame and born out of his own insecurity, unlike other disses and battles...sorry, this shyt right here is midlife crisis music

And you think Tyler, Earl and Budden are wack? Not saying they have catalogues of timeless classics, but they've all dropped heat at various points in their careers.

Actually I kinda fukk with his shots at Budden on the low tho lol...he kinda got at him nice

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Goddamn Kelly got bodied

 

[Cheech&Chong]

[ThirdAct]

[g-ice]

Also he ain't never said the name Vince Staples once

Wonder why

He got it too breh

If I press the issue just to get the anger out (brrr)
Full magazine could take Staples out
Savage but ain't thinkin' 'bout no bank account
But bytch, I'm off the chain like Kala Brown

 

[ThirdAct]

Oh word didn't catch that

Production is mad average. Basic ass trap type production that most everybody using nowadays. Are dudes trying to save they budget by buying average ass beats instead of real fire now? Case in point: The track with Lucas shoulda been crazy. Two MC's of that level shoulda got a real production master doing the track to hype them up and challenge them. Instead it was just that droning, monotonous type beat. Only track that stood out to me was Falling. It sounds "different" than everything else. Still kinda basic, but has multilayered production. Who produced that one? Lyrically Em on POINT tho. I hated the album on first listen, but on second go round it's growing on me. I had to lower my expectations for the production.
