Eminem - Kamikaze (Discussion Thread)

[Insensitive]

I said it already but

This shyt goes, some trips and slips here and there but overall hard as fukk.

"I ride till the wheels fall off, I'm working 'TIRElessly'!"

Seriously, fukk Eminem and his dad pun bars.

This coming from the dude who said Revival was good on Instagram when it first came out

I remember reading Bron was one of the highest paid social media endorsers. But you look at his social media and the only thing (aside from Nike and stuff that he already owns since it wouldn’t count paying yourself) he posts that can be endorsed it seems are wine and hip hop albums. I think he gets a bag for hyping up these albums

I’ll give Em props for straight up admitting he Took an L with that last bullshyt album.

 

[Insensitive]

Joyner Lucas brought that fire. Like for real.
Dude did his thing.
Actually was just as dope as Eminem on that track.

Best Eminem album since the Eminem show...

I actually want to replay it...

...Good shyt. With some different creative directions this could've even been better.

So far I have this as a top 15 album of the year.

Eminem and his cringe-worthy punchlines that he's used since Recovery are one of the biggest things I've grown to hate about his music but that line actually isn't bad

He took an L with this bullshyt album too

This album is going to be forgotten in less than a week.
Eminem is way too old to be dropping this kind of music. Look at 4:44 and life is good and compare this to those albums...eminem is still dissing for shock value like a teenager, still rapping for too long over bad beats
He was always a rapper whose best work was tied to him being young, and it shows when he’s older because he’s still immature and corny

For once, I have to disagree with this. He's answering people who criticized and/or disrespected.

Should shut up the "only disses pop stars" crowd up. He dissed a legend, and an elite level MC, especially in battles.

 

[ThiefyPoo]

Solid album

 

[Double J]

in fact he actually took an even bigger L this time since he responded to people's criticism of him dropping a garbage album by dropping another garbage album

what legend are we talking about here? Lil yachty, lil xan, machine gun kelly ? Or those half hearted ghostwriting jabs at drake that don’t even mention him by name

Dad pun bars.

That's exactly it.

Em's rap style involves a high attention span too. After this many years it's hard to be a casual Em fan. You either are a big fan and you hang onto every word, or you'd rather listen to something else.

If you fukk with Em you'll probably think this is his best album since TES or maybe Relapse if you're a part of his fan base that liked that album. Some loved it and some hated it.

If you aren't a big Eminem fan (like me) you'll appreciate this and think it's about the dopest thing he can make at his age this far into the game, but you still probably wob't run this back and spin it a lot. I'm not gonna bump it that much but I'm not mad at it. The only constructive criticism I could give Em at this point would be to do some scratch hooks or maybe no hooks at all, stick with slower or mid-tempo beats, and try out some production from cats you've got right there on your team like Alchemist. Maybe try an EP or something with one producer.

This album is a W that Eminem badly needed though. I can already tell critics will like this album and mainstream America will fukk with it. And most hip-hop heads will at least appreciate this project.

This album is good for Eminem in the tail end of his career.

Yep, he may never make the true classic we all want or collab with this MC or that producer like we want.

This might be as good as it gets for 40+ yr old Eminem in 2018. He listened to the feedback, and applied a lot of it to make his most concise and focused project in like 10 years

 

[HiiiPower]

Just finished, half of the tracks are pretty much better than anything on revival, the other half is just as bad as revival, what in the entire fukk are some of these beats that Em raps over, he has the pull to get any producer he wants. Flow is still sharp as fukk.
