True. The man is ridiculious with his double meanings and word plays. The Kamikaze album is basically just that, a mindfeck
Music Revival - Eminem Album | Also Kamikaze

Eminem's good... But he ain't got shit on Flo Rida or Pitbull
moms need rap, too
Amazing the difference one album has made. He'd slipped into irrelevancy for most people until kamikaze.
The "Lucky you" is my current favorite one. He is a beast in it
Kamikaze is a small step up from his usual terrible work these days.
You're talking haram bro, small step up ? You're hard to please
The Look Alive rip off is genuinely terrible.
It was impressive lyrically but really didn’t have that much else to it, in my opinion. Especially compared to the Eminem Show and MMLP. I don’t like Eminem when he’s not really saying anything of note.
Tbh he did say plenty of note to a lot of different people but I get you. I feel like we all know about his life and his history so there was no point to really talk about those subjects all over again.
I feel you, you're still a little harsh IMHO.
edit: I think you're incredibly harsh lolz

Really? I positevely can think of numerous albums that are better than Kamikaze. Each to their own, though. I respect your opinion and I'm a big Em fan.
"One of", meaning I can also think of others
Tbh, in terms of rap, french is where it's at for me.Eminem has the same birthday as me which is why my posts have such a natural
Did you pass out mid-sentence. Are you Ok?
Can confirm I am fine, don't remember doing that
Em spitting fire.
That was good. Really good.
Didn’t like the song he did with Ed Sheeran though.

There isn't a song that can top "Till I collapse" for me
Dropped a new album today (Music To Be Murdered By). Collabs with Royce Da 5'9" again, Ed Sheeran, Juice WRLD (love that), Anderson .Paak and others.
Gonna give it a listen later today.

I can’t stand that song.
This song is a piece of art.
Did Eminem just out-do Rap God on Godzilla? That was sick. Just listening through the album now, at Leaving Heaven as of writing, loving it so far.
Damn, I forgot my headset in the morning, got to wait till the evening to listen to this.
Well god dayum! Eminem answering his critics well and truly in the Intro song and always find him to be lyrically at his best with a point to prove. Which is laughable there even is one any more. Half the time I think he purposely sets up the corners he always seems backed into.
Very excited after the first track, premonition and will give the rest a listen after work, would welcome peoples opinons and their highlights.

His first 2 albums were great but he’s ‘of his time’ and has nothing of relevance to say anymore. Like a lot of artists and bands, great early material about their early lives but once rich, nothing more to say.
If hes ever going another tour. I have to go this time. Didn't come to Ireland last time which bummed me out. Even if he's in England, I'm still going hah.
Loving the album so far. Up to Darkness - that song is incredible.
Is he actually saying anything this time? I liked the last album due to his rap skills but there wasn't really any substance to the songs that would make go back and listen to it again.
I've finished it. No, he isn't saying anything.
It's just more mint lyricism, so its all down to how much you can get out of purely impressive lyrics and wordplay.
Got to about halfway on my way into work today, seems decent so far the first track Godzilla and Darkness the standouts so far. Mac Miller's posthumous album also dropped today so looking forward to that, I absolutely loved Swimming.
I'd completely forgotten Revival existed until I saw this thread bumped. Comfortably one of the worst albums I listened to in the last decade.
Enjoyed that. Lyrically he’s still excellent & it was nice to hear a few Dre beats.
Premonition, Godzilla, Darkness, Leaving Heaven were my favourites.

Darkness has a good message but it's not something that I'd keep bumping.
Yeah just had a listen, I think it's better than his last one, seems less bitter and gone back to his roots a bit. Although, I do think there is some more substance to this one, the songs about mass shootings, his mum and the step father song bring back memories of the old Shady. I'm quite pleasantly surprised actually, I will go back and listen again.
He's starting to look like that David Guest fella.
I've heard this comment before. Genuinely curious - what should he be saying? Rap/Hip-hop has had plenty of music with a deep message but just as much/if not more is about the MC showing their technical prowess. After 20+ years making music, Eminem has probably said as much as he can in terms of his life and the things he wanted to shine a light on, but I'm glad we get to hear his flow and word play now, when it's arguably at its peak. People said a track like Fall or The Ringer was just about disses, but it contains some of his best rhyming and word plays even without saying anything 'new'. I guess it feels like Eminem is held to a standard that most artists aren't, in that sense. Genuine comment, btw, not meant as a comment on you, 2mufc0!
And sorry, I just saw your follow up post... I get it, but not sure if taking on topics like mass shootings actually makes the end product any better, although of course it's quite wonderful to see someone with his platform and profile supporting gun control.
Not sure it will endure, but loved Darkness. Still got a few songs left to listen to
Dre did the intro (kinda) before
