Just when we though Eminem is done with addressing his critics by releasing surprise album Kamikaze, the rapper decided to strike again. This time Em took a full-page advert in The Hollywood Reporter and mocked the critics and their negative reviews of his latest albums.

The advert consists of Kamikaze artwork on which there are written review quotes containing not-so-pleasant opinions about the album. As this Eminem’s move wasn’t cool enough, the advert also contains part of THR’s own review which called the record “…the work of an aging artist trying and failing to remain relevant …”

Also are included reviews from Noisey, who labeled Kamikaze ” …a stale misfire…,” Pitchfork who called Em’s effort “…yet another empty, intermittently tone-deaf onslaught,” and others.

After calling out Eminem’s critics, cheeky advert finishes with delivering album’s impressive numbers: “#1 in 103 countries and 434,000 equivalent album units in the US first week” and “Thanks for the support, a***holes!” message.

You can check it out below.

Without any previous announcement, Eminem released his tenth studio Kamikaze on August 31, 2018. Although it received mixed reviews from the critics, the album went on to be a massive hit with the audience. It ended up topping the US Billboard 200 charts while all eleven songs entered the Billboard Hot 100. And, as Em’ told you in the advert, it conquered 102 more countries as well.

Eminem – Kamikaze Review: The Real Slim Shady Just Stood Up https://hotpoptoday.com/eminem-kamikaze-review-the-real-slim-shady-just-stood-up/ Sun, 09 Sep 2018 06:00:49 +0000 https://hotpoptoday.com/?p=1990 On August 31st, Eminem dropped a surprise album titled Kamikaze.

On August 31st, Eminem dropped a surprise album titled Kamikaze. Listening to the release was also a surprise. The 13-song worth collection features several guests including Royce Da 5’9, Joyner Lucas, Jessie Reyez and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon while Eminem’s longtime manager Paul Rosenberg also made an appearance in two skits.

On one of those skits, Rosenberg can be heard saying that Eminem just can’t reply to everyone who disliked his last record, 2017’s Revival. It turns out; he can. Simply put, Kamikaze is the album with whom Em punches back.

Recent years have not been easy for Eminem. Numerous critics were coming after him, bashing his latest releases and saying that it’s his time to retire. Eminem surprisingly remained silent and took notes before finally saying everything he has to say with Kamikaze. From the title to the tracks, the whole album is about a crash course in rapping and attack on all of those who thought Eminem faded from the rap scene in the past few years.

The album opens up with “The Ringer,” in which he drops quite a few names and mocks the current state of rap including the current culture of mumble rapping and randomly throwing words that rhyme onto a beat.

On song called “Fall,” he admits last year wasn’t one of his best, while on track called “Lucky You”, which features Joyner Lucas, he admits that he was hurt with negative reactions on Revival: “I took an L when I dropped my last album/ It hurt me like hell but I’m back on these rappers.” Eminem delivered some of his best rhymes on this one, but truth be told, Joyner Lucas brought his A-game as well. On the title track “Kamikaze,” Em brought the old Slim Shady who is just having fun while displaying incredible wordplay and lyricism.

This release isn’t all about anger since Em is also true with other emotions and delivers an apology to his rap group D12 in the song “Stepping Stone.”

Don’t get us wrong. This isn’t a perfect album since there are few songs that just feel like they don’t belong here, including “Normal” and “Nice Guy.” They are not extremely bad but are not on par with the rest of the album. Also, you get the feeling that Eminem maybe tried too much to respond to all of his critics, that he got a bit lost in the process.

That being said, Kamikaze is a badly needed refreshment in today’s hip-hop, and it hints that the real Slim Shady just stood up.

In a move no one expected, Eminem has released a new album. Titled Kamikaze, the record dropped on Apple Music and Spotify unannounced and presented his second full release in eight months.

The 13-song worth effort is produced by Eminem and Dr. Dre with the likes of Ronny J, Jeremy Miller, Jahaan Sweet, Tay Keith, Tim Suby, and Fred Ball also leaving their fingerprints on the Kamikaze. It also features guest appearances by Joyner Lucas, Royce da 5’9″ and Jessie Reyez, and Justin Vernon.

The rapper himself didn’t get into the details of the album and just tweeted its cover alongside an intriguing message.

Eminem shared two songs, “Kamikaze” and “Lucky You” with Joyner Lucas, on YouTube. You can check out these songs and the entire album on Spotify below.

Kamikaze suspiciously looks like Eminem wanted to quickly make up for 2017’s Revival, which is widely considered as a weak effort. The critics were divided about the album, while the longtime fans of the 45-year-old rapper hated it.

Things might be different with Kamikaze, at least according to the first reactions. The critics are calling it his best efforts in a while and already have it as “a fitting end to rap’s underwhelming summer.” You can be a judge of that by yourself, but it looks like Shady is back.
