Aside from that and a handful of tracks, in four solo albums over an eight-year period, Eminem has rarely put out anything that goes beyond showing off his rap mechanics. On “Revival” and “Kamikaze,” Eminem brought up his masterpiece “Stan” to show how great he was/is, but when was the last time he crafted something even half as masterful in terms of substance? Maybe the “Stan” sequel, “Bad Guy” in 2013. ” Rather than receiving criticism and considering that there might be some truth behind it- or simply ignoring it- Shady doubles down with claims that listeners aren’t intelligent enough to comprehend his genius as he fires shots at many of today’s popular artists for mumble rapping. Eminem’s longtime manager Paul Rosenberg even voices his concerns on “ Paul (Skit). This isn’t anything new for Eminem critics have always been a motivational tool for him (e.g., “ The Way I Am”), but in this album, it’s more of a sad obsession. This is not a review of the album, but I will say my biggest issue with “Kamikaze” is how much time is dedicated to Shady detractors. His most notable jabs were aimed at Tyler, the Creator, Machine Gun Kelly, and Joe Budden. The album is laced with subliminals and disses aimed at just about anyone who has ever said anything the 45-year-old rapper didn’t like, including but not limited to music critics, Vince Staples, Donald Trump, Lil Yachty and other mumble rappers.
Eminem’s latest album “Kamikaze” has sparked discussion to say the least.
