Detroit got a special surprise when Eminem lit up the city with a projection of his Revival album’s cover art. A video of the scene was uploaded to Slim Shady’s official YouTube channel on Thursday (December 7).
The latest reveal is the final piece of the puzzle before Eminem drops his much-anticipated album on December 15. Although the double LP theory has been debunked, Marshall Mathers is looking to create some excitement with the release of a new song titled “Untouchable.”
Stream “Untouchable” and check out the Revival cover art below.

After weeks of anticipation, the tracklist for Eminem’s ninth studio album Revival has been revealed. Eminem took to Instagram to unveil the news on Tuesday (December 5) with a simple caption that read: “12/15.”
Boasting 19 tracks, the album features guest spots from Beyoncé, Phresher, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, X Ambassadors, Skylar Grey, Kehlani and P!nk.
Lead single “Walk On Water” featuring Queen Bey yielded mixed reactions and there has yet to be a second single from the project. Revival serves as Em’s first album since 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 and ushers in the 45-year-old version of the Detroit rap god.
During a recent appearance on Rick Rubin’s new podcast, Broken Record, Em told the Def Jam Recordings co-founder about the meaning behind “Walk On Water” and explained it was about “not being superman.” The pressure he feels to be a flawless MC is one of many topics he explores on the new 19-track effort.
The rollout for the album has been intense. After a blistering attack on President Donald Trump in a video cypher for the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards, Em and his team started cryptically teasing the album through a mysterious Instagram post from manager Paul Rosenberg and a fake prescription drug ad for Revival. The campaign for the project has kept Em fans busy trying to piece together everything from the release date to guest spots.
Eminem recently picked up an award for Best Hip Hop Artist at the MTV EMAs in London and released new limited edition “Stan” merch on his website.
Revival is expected to arrive on December 15, which Dr. Dre and Eminem confirmed last week.
Check out the tracklist above.
One shouldn’t worry about the features. I’m sure this will be a really good album. My guess it will be better than mmlp2. I’m just praying there is 1 Dr. Dre beat. Just 1!!!
Please reread your comment and slap yourself. Then bring your hand back for the backhand slap.
Em sold out along time ago, used to be dope, needs to get back on the drugs, old ass white boy
Whole album full of features!
I haven’t seen this much pop on a rap album since the last one Flo-Rida made. Jesus fucking Christ.
Hmm. Wheres that recorded track with LL Cool J. I love Em, and he goes on about some of the guys he grew up listening to, people who aspired him so i dont understand why he doesnt colab with them. Is there never going to be another Jay Z track due to how good Renegade was? Never understood why there was no Ice Cube track. This album is surely a 2 disk set cus all these features are pop artists, are they not? No Yela, Dre, Royce, Slaughter, Tech or Kendrick. Hmm. interesting.
the beyonce featured macklemore song… pink… skylar grey… ughhh. not looking forward to this at all. if it turns out to be good, itll be a pleasant surprise. I hope before em hangs it up for good, he makes a solid HIP-HOP album, void of any cornball pop hooks and beats. let alchemist produce all or most of it.
Perfect album for SJWs and liberals everywhere.
keep crying cause your former idol eminem spoke out against your current idol donny tiny hands.. go hop on kid rock’s knob, he likes trump
Kehlani, Pink and the ginger dude that jacks old school r and b music? My anticipation for the album has dropped. Wtf Em???
Bloated with songs and pop features. Prediction: This is going to be his worst album. Worse than MMLP2 which is hard to do, worse than ENCORE, worse than Relapse.
Man… Don’t know why some of these comments so retarded. Even if you not a fan, damn the hate real!
Album full of Features???… He not a struggling rapper anymore, why would he be doing his own hooks on every track.
Album going to be POP as hell???.. Just because the beat don’t have classic drums don’t make it POP.
Album going to be trash???… Ahhh album… has … not … been …heard …. ………..OK
Looking forward to the album. And anyone that know his albums, he’s never had many rappers on his tracks. If you listen to his music, you will know why he doesn’t!
Lol. So much hip-hop talent in Detroit and he comes up with a pop christmass album tracklist. Lol
Jesus, late contender for the worst album of the year right there and what’s looking like the worst album of his career
Hate to agree with you, but I think I have to. Still copping it though, stans must stan.
You’re a f a g g o t then?
This dude is so out of touch nowadays….
He’s out of touch with what? If dude makes an album that pertains to his experience then he’s not out of touch. You’re welcome
lol “you’re welcome” for what?
Hahahaha you Eminem stans are in for a pop album
Everyone says Drake is a pop artist and Eminem is some real hiphop ….dude got Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran and Pink on his album. Even Drake would never do this lol
Yeah but Drake is a Beyonce, Pink and Ed Sheeran himself. He dont need to feat them to sound queer and Pop. If Em wouldnt feature pop artist he’d be Hip Hop. Drake is Pop on an Album with no feats.
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!! CO-SIGN. All these real hiphop nerds is like Drake is some pop artist, and this is their savior? Are you kidding me? I like Eminem but this a very predictable digestable pop album. Drake takes way more risks and is more innovative. Eminem sounds very dated on this album and the pop songs sounds Macklemore corny-ish
This looks worse than expected. My expactation level was very low but damn this looks not good.
Whats so bad? We got a lot of solo tracks and great vocalists on this album
Are you on Crack?? This gonna be a Pop/Rap Album mixed with a couple Rap God type of Songs.
where the detroit mc’s at? can’t even get any features from his old crew
There gonna be 2-3 Rap God type of Banger. Untouchable sounds like he gonna spaz but the rest will have the same Recovery, MMLP2 flavour. Melodic Piano beats with Pop Singing Hooks. I’ll pass on that
Where’s the 2 chainz track lol?
Eminem’s on a noble mission to make a Hip Hop album for the kids
It’s a pop music album !
looking at that track list I’m concerned it doesn’t look appealing it looks like its going to be an album full of “I love the way Lie” type singles. I don’t like judging a book by its cover but I don’t like any of his features and this doesn’t look good.
Haters gonna hate
and dickriders gonna ride
speaking of which… wheres the taylor swift collabo!?!? Shake It
If he was smart he would have put walk on water as a bonus for a delux edition. I’m also concerned with the features. Shoot haven’t heard a full Eminem album since recovery lol
Worst features EVER!!!
No Royce, D12, etc. Only wack singing features. Em is getting worse and worse. We are far from the “I just don’t give a f*ck” guy I used to like.
With those features, he can keep this garbage. So much for a Hip Hop album from Em.
When Em dropped that Trump Cypher where he had that “I draw in the Sand a Line” Bar I had a bad feeling the album gonna be trash. This seems to be a common Strategy by the liberals nowaday “Support or be labeled racist”. Macklemore did the same. when his last Album flopped he said it was because of the White privilege Song and that his fans are racist and not because the Album was trash. Same with the all female Ghostbusters Movie, if you didnt like it you were labeled sexist and rasist.
Eminem is a pop star who’s music sux. None of his albums are hip hop, all his shit sounds the same.
His first three albums were something else, in a good way. Not traditional hiphop, but also not quite pop.
Every album after has inched more and more towards being heavily pop motivated. He already know that he has lost the true Hip-Hop crowd years ago (over 10 years ago) and now it’s one last album to make the most money he could of ever made (hence the Ed Sheran track, beyonce and Alica Keys…not going to pretend Pink is good, she has always been a bit crap)
Wtf no ja rule collab not happy at all
My man has completely sold out. It’s all about the money now. I thought M loved hip hop music but he really doesn’t. It took him over 20 years to show the real M. He is just a fraud that can rap. That’s why i don’t listen to the radio or pop rap. Pop rappers are willing to do anything to sell records because they don’t love the music. I listen only to underground hip-hop artist because they love it. Although, they won’t get paid like M. Hip hop artist love making records for the streets not just for the radio. Hip hop and jazz artist want to create good music. Pop rap and smooth jazz are poor imitations of the real art and so is M.
No 2CHAINZ!!! WHY GOD!??? WHYYYYY!!!
At least he made 1 right decision with this album..
The G:O:A:T IS BACKK OMG
ALICIA AUUUUU
Yep he’s sold out and gone pop.
He just did some shit with Missy so now he thinks he’s too big to do shit with MC Get Busy
Yo Em, G-Eazy called, he wants his fucking tracklist back
Lmao!!!
Nah, Em stole my tracklist for my next album.
My rule of thumb: never judge an album before it comes out based on the names of the songs or the tracklist.
1. Not an Eminem fan.
2. While not being a fan, I can still acknowledge when Em spits a dope verse.
3. The album is still more solo cuts than features. It’s a 50-50 divide between collabs and solo cuts, and damn near 20 songs.
4. All that being said, the worst song structure Eminem can go with on the features is verse, hook, verse, hook, bridge, verse, hook. That song structure gets repetitive, and will only show that Em got those feats because he didn’t want to write his own hooks, sing his own hooks, was afraid he couldn’t carry the lp on his own.
5. We haven’t heard the songs yet. Chill out until the album drops, yall.
You fucking freaks haven’t even heard the album yet. Chill the fuck out, holy shit.
Eminem has been a pop artist since the Eminem show. At least he is honest about it and doesnt try to hide it. Just wait for the fckng album..
The current trend for “bigger” rappers is to release introspective albums. You can’t really go wrong with a full album of introspection. The replay value lasts longer than a party album, or a punchline album.
Based on the tracklist, if I had to guess, I would say this is going to be Em’s most introspective album, a la Jay’s 4:44.
I agree introspective albums replay value lasts longer…but it still gotta be good, I haven’t had a desire to listen to 4:44 since 2 weeks after it dropped. There’s a thin line between a good introspective album and a boring album. And if you can’t go wrong with an introspective album cuz they “last longer” then it really isn’t a trend, it’s the formula. Bottom line is…regardless of trends or whatever, Em is just not as good a rapper as he used to be, no shame in that he made his contributions to hiphop…but this shit is gonna be wack, we all know it and some will find ways to justify it. They’ve been justifying that lullaby Walk on Water for weeks now…he should’ve called that track “Ambien”
We can go back and forth on this. I prefer introspective albums, even before this recent wave of “big name” artists doing them. You’re half-right, half-wrong on introspection being borderline boring. I prefer the softer melodies, more conducive to contemplation. That’s just my preference. I’d rather listen to an artist really sorting through his or her feelings over mellow production spanning 12, 13 tracks. That much, at least, I prefer over an album full of “bangers.” As for Jay-Z’s 4:44 being boring, I don’t agree or disagree. I pointed to his album not because of its critical acclaim, but more to highlight how, as of late, a lot of these rappers have figured it’s better to make an album full of soul-searching joints. It’s whatever… I get what you’re saying, and not agreeing or disagreeing. What you call the “lullaby” quality of “Walk on Water” is a style of songwriting I’ve employed for the past 10 years. My own music is extremely mellow, and some would say boring… But at least I’m covering topics on my LPs that will never grow old, and add layers of more depth to my discography than, say, a Gucci Mane or 21 Savage, for example.
Tell that to “in da club”, “up in here”, “99 problems”, “California love”, etc.
What introspective hiphop song from over a decade ago is still played frequently? The party anthems lasted much longer.
Boasting 19 terrible tracks where Eminem screams and rants, the album features guest spots from 40 year old mother of 3 Beyoncé, a guy no one has ever heard of “Phresher” , Ed Sheeran a guy whos main audience is 13 year old girls, Feminist Alicia Keys, some more guys you have never heard of “X Ambassadors”, Em’s side chick Skylar Grey, some other side chick named Kehlani and who could forget P!nk from the year 2000.
I want to hear NONE of these people.
So if you’ve really never heard of these artists are we to assume you simply don’t listen to music? If that’s the case your opinion is relevant and not needed. Thanks for trying though.
You know the features are trash, stop being contrary…Em went from dissing pop stars to having multiple features from them on his album…and he doesn’t need them!!! He’s Eminem for Christ sake….Corny ish!!!
Omfg I lmao’d so hard reading that. This comment sums up the perfect description of how disappointing this garbage will be.
What’s with all the chick features? Smh. I hope I’m wrong but I think this album is gonna be his worst one.
The track list reads like a Liberal, political correct wet dream. At least Ellen Degenereres will love. It’s actually sad to see what has become of Eminem. This is the guy who’s first three albums were classics.
Wait, wait, wait a minute
Wait, wait, wait a minute
One G*d damn minute
Hold up wait a minute…
86 this cornball *deuces*
What a joke,Ems career died with Proof. Corny ass bullshit
Sounds like a white girls dream
pathetic
rip em. you need to shelf this album and move on from the whole relapse recovery revive tired and beaten concept. sad for an artist that has an unlimited budget.
More pop features than Ja Rule in 2002, what the actual fuck.
1. MMLP
2. Infinite
3. Emine show
4. SSLP
5. Encore
6. Recovery
7. Relapse
8. MMLP 2
9. Revival (prediction)
How can you morons judge this album off a tracklist? You guys are idiots. Eminem never disappoints, go listen to a different rapper, you wack as motherfuckers
uuuhm maybe because of the the features on the Tracklist?!
Nah you are some pop rapper listening M.F thinking Eminem never disappoints, every album after The Eminem Show has got wacker and wacker. Now he is releasing what looks like a Pop Album, something Eminem would of ripped to shreds in his day.
Again, “something that looks like a pop album”. Have you heard it?? No, you’re judging a book by its cover. Ima be laughing when Em murders every song like he typically does. Stop pushing a legend out of the rap game, that still kills every verse he touches. You don’t know shit about rap, go listen to Uzi Vert with that wack ass knowledge, no bar structure knowing motherfuckers. Get outta here with that dumb shit.
I agree with you! Next time a Miley Cyrus album drops, don’t judge before you listen to it! It COULD be better than Tupac in his prime! ….
So I assume the Taylor Swift and Adele joint didnt make the cut?!
the biggest case of inverted racism, you know when somebody is held back just for being black, in this case this guy is over praised just for being white
black mediocrity defines hip hop and black business and nobody complains about it
Then why has Asher Roth, Mac Miller, and Macklemore not received the same praise? You’re an idiot. Eminem is the best rapper in a black man’s game and Tiger Woods is the best golfer in a white man’s game. Deal with it
No pure hip hop artist makes silly tracks about women and celebrities, chainsawing your mom, queefing, etc. I cant even take dude seriously. Now he makes Pop records trying to speed rap? I’m straight. Lyrically dude is more than gifted, but putting songs together? Nah.
G.O.A.T
Judging from these comments lol
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
I’d rather wait for the album to place judgement
Did you just watch Batman and feel a dying need to write this Harvey quote “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”??
As it has NO relevance what so ever on his terrible track listing.
Sit done kid.
i would have preferred these features MF DOOM, Redman, ChanceTheRapper, Nas, 2Chainz and maybe Drake….but lets wait and see(hear) coz i knw Em will never dissapoint…#GOAT #AFRICASTANDUP
I have zero expectation for this shit.
mwahahaaha
I can picture white chicks in their car singin to this shit like it’s a britney spears album or somethin !
Pop God
I just want the Slaughterhouse records, don’t care how old it is.
The ghost of bill clinton has fulfilled the prophecy. Just look at that photo, my god, what happened to this guy? Hes only in his 40s right? The soul suckers got ahold of him apparently, just look at these features….Skyler Gray, Beyonce, Pink, Ed Sheren, my goodness this looks like the tracklist for a taylor swift album. So this guy built his name on being controversial and original, now he has become essentially a stereotype of the people and ideals he once lampooned. Sellout? (yes, look at the tracklist) Soul Sucked (yes, just look at this fragile, pale, white, albino looking creature pitured above…and his freestyles are written by Hilary Clinton)….sad
“Soul suckers” is codeword for jevvs who worship in the synagogue of satan
This shi gonna B garbage….. Nobody from Slaughter House…. Nobody from Detroit….. Just whole bunch of Pop artist…..
Bro, how could you NOT complain lol? What kind of man wants to here a “hiphop” album from one of the GOATS that features beyonce, pink, Alicia keys, and skylar grey? Like da fukkk?
That’s like saying you shouldn’t judge a Jonas brothers album before it comes out lmao
Eminem is getting too much hate right now. Especially since no one has even heard a song off the album other than walk on water. And this whole thing about him working with pop artists is stupid. He has always worked with pop artists. Arguably one of his bests songs ever created was Stan featuring DIDO, yes, Dido. So…. now he can’t make songs with pop artists? And I am personally glad there aren’t a bunch of rappers featured on the cd. I like to hear the artist making the cd, not other people. If I want to hear Kendrick, I will go listen to Kendrick. If I want to hear Cole I will go hear Cole. You people need to sit down and relax. Just don’t listen to the CD if you don’t want to. I personally will go and buy a copy and show my support for Em. He definitely isn’t the GOAT in my eyes, but he is easily top 10. Thanks for listening and not giving a fuck what I have to say. Peace out ya’ll
That’s the problem! “Stan” was Eminem’s first giant commercial success, however it was already a number one song before Eminem jumped on the track. The original song is called “Thankyou” by Dido.
That song was No.1 in 11 countries. So it made a truck load of money.
His label seem to have now forced him to try and re-create that song over, and over, and over again with shitty female features, and it makes money as young teenage girls froth over songs like that.
But I personally don’t want to hear “Stan” or a “A sky full of Lighters” or “I need a Doctor” or “Walk on Water” These song are pop trash.
I am confident the album will be a steaming pile of shit. It am surprised they didn’t put Bieber on this album with the woeful track listing.
Stan was wack af
Covers dope as fuck though. If it was the 90s I would’ve bought that shit on the strength of its cover. And probably been let down. Off topic I bought Music to Drive-By in like early 93 off its cover and was NOT disappointed. Just sayin cause I’m listening to it right now.
got a feeling Em will shut everyone up… again lol
What?
Wtf is with all these gay features? Pink? Ed f.aggot Sheeran???? Em done fucked his fans in the mouth and sold out. Dude is just a joke now, a laughingstock. Hope he gets permanently disabled and is a quadriplegic. Fuck you Em.
This is Em’s real nail in the coffin career wise and legacy wise. Even tho 50. fell off musically at least he stayed authentic. Em is a fucking disgrace for this shit right here. Goodbye.
50 shitting on the game right now doing more streams and sales with only a distribution deal than whoever you playing. His music highly relevant now as well. You obviously arent very music savvy. Probly a Hopsin/MGk/Logic fanboy.
Em has nothing to prove to any of you. Props to him for doing this. This is the only type of album he’s never made.
Glad to see an American flag on the cover, too.
MAGA
this looks eminem show worthy but that walk on water track is garbo
Em did the same thing with MMLP2, I remember 4 years ago before it came out that nobody was talking about the lack of hip hop features the way they are with this one, they were saying how high a standard it had to live up to with it being named after his magnum opus. Even though the only actual named feature on that one was Rihanna and Skylar Grey (on “Monster” and “Asshole”), there were also singers on “Bad Guy”, “Legacy”, and “survival”, but since they weren’t famous chicks singing, they weren’t part of the tracklist and nobody cared when the tracklist was released. I wonder if his hardcore hip hop fans are just fed up with waiting now in a way that they weren’t back in 2013 (only 2 years prior he had done the Bad Meets Evil ish and nobody can say that wasn’t fire hip hop, notwithstanding the Bruno Mars feature), and think that one of these days he will reconnect with Pacewon and Young Zee and do an album with production by DJ Premier. I am no longer holding my breath, personally I’ve waited years for my favorite producer (Alcemist) to do a song with my favorite rapper (Em) and somehow even though ALC is his tour DJ iit still hasn’t happened. Even Dre hasn’t contributed shit to a Em album in 8 years.
Alchemist is a dirty jevv.
Alc and Eminem did a track on “Chemical Warfare” album.
Yeah, but that was more of a freestyle, I think the song was not even 3 minutes long, and it was during his accent phase, it came out the same year as Relapse. I want a full song with a chorus and everything.

Em continues to have the worst delivery in Hip-Hop.. How far he has fallen is historic.
So it sounds like hip-hop. Can we say it’s a hip-hop album again? Good.
You gonna realize the majority was correct on December 15th North Side Dick Ride Gangsta hahah
1st half of the song is absolute dogshit then a real beat drops and em slay it. I like the concept and his flow on the beat..fuck rick Rubin
This was so cringey!
First part is garbage then a new beat came and Marshall killed it.
This is like guilty conscience… The first part is a cop, thus the rock beat. The perspective changes when the beat does… The cop even chimes in towards the end a few times
Untouchable is dope.
Untouchable is a song for us it’s a track for the culture. To have the biggest rap artist the world has ever seen to talk about the struggles we face on a song is a monumental moment in the Black lives matter movement.
The concept was cool to to rap from the perspective of a white cop to go to the perspective of a black man is crazy.
I’ve not been a fan off Em since relapse believe it or not lyrically that was an insane album. And if this is what to expect this will be to
You know someone is such a wanna-be Stan when they’re boasting about how great the relapse album was. It was terrible and em hasn’t been the same since. Get over it.
Flow is wack, hook is cringey.
Suge and 2pac thought they was Untouchable 2…look what happened…only they truly had their feet in the street…not like this phony. Is this Dr Dre jocking Above The Law again? They dropped the single Untouchable back in 1990 and it sounds better than this trash.
I think you’re retarded. Did you even listen to Em’s song?
Retards are inspirational people…f@#k Eminem…most annoying rapper in history and the ”song” is crap. Stay off DR’s nutz.
Straight basura. I guess big sean is the king of Detroit now.
After double trouble I think he should just retire tbh… trash album. I used to be and still am a huge fan of I Decided but sean lost me with this album man
Em rapping about 2 thinga that he has 0 experience being; a cop & a black man. Trying too hard to be down….
Black people: “we need powerful white men to join the movement or else we will never see change”
Eminem: “Trump freestyle” “Untouchable”
People (all races): “you’re trying too hard”
GTFOH, nothing will make you happy
there’s no pleasing you crying bitches is there lol
Omg, I didnt think it was possible for Eminem to make an even worse song than walk on water. The only reason anyone could like this is if they are a STAN
Don´t worry, with time you will understand quality music. Until then relax, smoke a blunt, put on some lil peep and go back to fucking your neighbors dog…
Exactly! Quality music, especially quality lyrics, being that MC Sponegebob, Lil Weedhead, Lil 40 oz., Lil Xanny Lil Tranny and Lil Bitch can’t spit for spit cuz their brains are too fried from drugs, lean and brainwashed from oversaturated wack ass garbage mumble no skill having music, which you can’t even call it that
Why do you think walk on water and this song was bad?? I thought the beat for the first half of untouchable was bad but it redeemed itself in the second verse. Are you capable of bringing up good and valid points? If not then dont even argue. Em has been and always will be the best lyricist in rap. His story telling is on-par with pac’s but his wordplay and rhymes are way more complex. I fail to see how you can call those songs trash, and as far as I can see only because of the beat, if u wanna convince me that these arent good songs, feel free to. Im open minded (unlike you bc u cant formulate ur own opinions)
He is the best lyricist to you
lol
Oh wow, now a Black Lives Matter propaganda song called “Untouchable”? Em has just been taking losses left and right. I listened to it just hoping this one would be good, he always has at least a few good songs, but its a song about white guilt, he literally says its embarrassing to be a white boy in the song. His album is gonna flop spectacularly the way he keeps splitting the market.
Only disappointed that the e isn’t backwards ?
What’s up with his flow? Hell, he sounded more comfortable on a beat on Encore – his worst album. Sounds like the beat for ‘Untouchable’ was later added over Em’s vocals.
Maybe he’s gotten to a point where he’s so lyrical that certain beats are eaten up by his flow.
LMFAO. Please tell me you dont believe th sh*t you say, Lance
Why did he keep saying “WE”? Is this man back on drugs again? Oh I see what he did! Speaking for both sides so he doesn’t look like a racist. Great lyricism, but shit song overall. He’s been waiting years for an idea for an album and now this is it: POLITICS & RACIAL AGENDAS. I didn’t want to jump the gun after Campaign Speech, but after that anti-trump freestyle I knew it would come to this. Thank god it’s not a double album 😀
SHIT IS WHACK. SUCKS HOMIE WOULD JUST BITE ON THE NARRATIVE THAT IS ALREADY PUSHED ON AMERICANS EVERYDAY. EM USED TO BE REAL AND SPEAK FROM HIS OWN HEAD AND HEART, TRULY SAD TO SEE HIM LIKE THIS. THE TRULY POWERFUL PEOPLE THAT MAKE ALL THE WORLD’S DECISIONS TRY TO SEPERATE US BY GENDER, “RACE”, AND OTHER DENOMINATIONS, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IF WE ALL CAME TOGETHER, THAT’S WHEN TRUE CHANGE WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN. THEY PUSH THESE NARRATIVES OUT THERE TO DIVIDE US AND CLOUD OUR FOCUS, AND SADLY IT WORKS ON MOST OF US. THE FAT CATS SIT BACK AND LAUGH LIGHTING CUBANS WITH HUNDOS GETTING SUCKED ON BY STRAIGHT DIMES LAUGHING AT US FOR CONTINUING TO FIGHT AMONGST OURSELVES OVER THE SAME OVERPLAYED/PLAYED OUT ISSUES. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
How is what he’s saying dividing people? It seems like when people tell the truth. If the truth doesn’t fit a certain person narrative that person says they’re either causing division or dividing people. The issues Em talked about in this song have never been confronted in our society. People have always tried to move past it without discussing the issues and finding a solution. It seems like the people who run the world would rather have the masses be content with the problems they have without confronting them. Keeping them in a fishbowl matrix so their life will never change and they will never reach a higher state of consciousness. The opposite of what you’re saying. There’s nothing wrong with people coming together, but it shouldn’t be done under false pretenses. That would only lead to disaster. Real unity can only happen when people only come together for higher principles. Not when one group has the upper hand or ignores certain issues. When we solve our issue then we can truly come together.
You are eating out of their hand bro. The people with the upper hand have the upper hand due to socioeconomic reasons (mainly wealth), and these people are of all genders and “races”. Your ignorance is sad but quite common, due to the narratives that are pumped into your life and the lives of most Americans. See through the artificial haze,look deeper than what is taught to you.
I had some heat for you, but I’m being censored. If you deny certain things than your eating out of their hands yourself. I don’t view the world through rose-colored glasses. All this hippy dippy we should come together shit can never happen if the issues aren’t addressed and solved.
Oh some heat? Lol snap. It’s hilarious how you are one of the sheep that these narratives created and don’t even realize it. You probably consider yourself “woke”, huh? Lol foh dummy.
your both mostly right and slightly wrong too
I’m the sheep. No, you might be the real sheep. You don’t know what books I read or what I have studied. I know what type of cat you are based on your responses to me. Plus woke is a cliche term used by fake deep people. You probably consider yourself “woke”. I can tell you things I know about this world that would cause you to have fear. I’m the dummy, but you’re the one throwing insults. I see you have fans from the number of likes you have. Dx is a biased site that will let racist about the most derogatory things, but If someone says some truth their post is deleted. That should tell you something about the people who run this site.
the G.O.A.T. is back negrosss
What makes him the GOAT in your opinion?
because he’s literally the greatest rapper of all time….maybe not as good today as he once was but nobody can outrap eminem, thats why nobody has ever called him out or try to other than ja rule and benzino or nick cannon….and u see where those dumbasses landed
U need to listen hip hop music not rap. M can rap but i heard better mcs over my years. In my opinion, your just talking about pop rappers not underground artists like Celph Titled. Plus, i don’t want hear an album with a dope mc with sell out or wack beats. To be a great hip hip artist you have both banging beats and hype rhymes. M just has lyrics.
Untouchable dope track. I’m feeling it.
YO WHERE THE FARTING NOISES AT B. THIS AINT MUSIC
I was wondering who was gonna use that fire guitar riff from Cheech & Chong :O Anyone else remember Cheech in a pink tutu? lmao
yooo untouchable is actually dope…. im convinced some of you muthafuckaz will bitch about anything…
Fact!… thank u
Hilarious that people are gonna actually say this album is dope…2nd track I’ve heard and it looks like this album is exactly what I thought it was gonna be. Only good part of the song is the Cheech sample and that’s just cuz its funny and nostalgic. Oh how the mighty have fallen
Untouchable sounds good. The hook is definitely corny though
em stop trying to be kendrick lamar and shit rapping about shit u know nothing about being black u sound like a little bitch. u black cock riding f*ggit go back to rapping about shit that’s relevant to u instead of trying to suck up to black people . 0 for 2 two songs out and there both trash so f*ck Em and that wack ass album he putting out . ur a annoying little bitch just retire already
I knew there would be comments like this. Would you like it one way or the other? People have criticised him for not speaking out on racial issues and now that he does it’s a problem. At least he took the effort to address it and it didn’t seem forced like he knows what he’s talking about. How is being aware of something sucking up?
It definitely sounds forced.
It sounds like he’s just desperate to be relevant again so he’s just jumping on the train of current issues to try and be trendy.
Dude is so insecure.
He’s just using it to boost his status and attention the same way he would use a popstar
why so much hatred?
What Da f*ck.. that untouchable song is wack as hell just like that walk on water bullshit…Dude needs to get back in the studio with D12 and put out that banging shit cause all this other shit he putting out is wack as f*ck .
Em u dont know a damn thing about what goes on in da streets u living in ur big ass back woods Masion up in da rich parts of Michigan. U aint nothing but a bitch ass puppet and a undercover homo with Elton john. U bitch boy
You should watch 8 mile ya dummy
This is actually a decent track. Em not talking about his mum, he’s not slagging off easy celeb targets, he’s actually talking about something with some substance and he’s doing it really well! Albeit it’s not a particularly groundbreaking look at things, this has been covered many times over, but it’s refreshing to see Em tackling a different topic to his usual go tos.
dude some of the lines he delivered are corny as shit, it sounds like a high school teacher trying to fit in and be cool. When he is like “mi-nori-ties” and “african-ameri-can-are-trea-ted-like-shit” just sounds wack as fuck.
There’s no passion in this. This is him being desperate to be relevant and get attention and jump on the trending train.
I do agree his normal shit has no substance, and it’s nice to see an attempt to have an actual message in this song, but unfortunately I think his motivation is to be accepted and tag along with a group because he’s insecure and just wants to fit in. He sounds like a real loser. I feel as if he’s taken no time to actually research or study the shit he’s trying to spread….and for fu-=ck’s sake Rodney King was 25 years ago.
How many years ago Rodney King was is irrelevant you’re dumb as fuck! Lol its about shedding light on 1 of the best examples of. Blatnat injustices. Trying to fit in???? You’re extra stupid aren’t you, lol if he wanted to fit in hed make songs for the clubs over trap beats for Hip Hops watered down fans. I love ignorant comments like yours, just goes to show you how ppl can talk with such conviction and believe there own bullshit . extra flawed ass assesment of the entire song. Wrong wrong wrong not even halfway right. Jackass
Revival album. Otherwise known as the “I hate Donald Trump LP” It’s so much more to rap about
I could tell it’s another failed attempt at Eminems first masterpiece. Too many female singing features that Em loves. Headed to pop territory bullshit. Untouchable is dope then it’s downhill from there.
Eminem has gone full communist globalist.
Please kill yourself, you anti-Semitic shit-heel.
The h-i-s-p-a-n-i,c u-n,e-m,p,l,o,y,m,e,n-t ra-te has dropped to the lowest in American history, overall u-n=e,m,p,l,o,y,m,e,n=t ra-te is at the lowest it has been in 17 years, 219,000+ new j-o=b,s in november and 2.1 mil=lion+ new j,o=b-s overall since the elec=tion in 2016. Viva El Trump!
please excuse all the -=, signs, they don’t allow you to post the words in which these signs have been inserted because of all the butthurt snowflakes
Yeah Oh Boy they don’t like when you bring up all the Trump/America victories…. but even the mainstream bias media has been forced to admit that Trump has/is delivering on his campaign promises. Just check out the cnn article tracking his promises/achievements. Yes America is becoming great again! Although I am not Hispanic, I will gladly hop on the Viva El Trump Wagon!
All you Trump supporters with this fake winning, always got the Donald’s C0ck in ya mouth!
Hey lets not forget about GDP almost +4%, tax cuts, enhanced vetting procedures for those traveling from countries with high terrorist activity, 27% drop in illegal immigration, over 4,000 human trafficking arrests, the withdraw from TPP, Paris Climate Agreement, and almost there with NAFTA, the elimination of the mandate by Obama that everyone must have health insurance or they will be fined/penalized, the stock market is consistently setting new records as stocks soar, consumer optimism is at a 13 year high………..and there are just so many more wins. Sounds like you are already tired of winning Matt, but the Pro-America movement will never get tired of winning. VIVA EL TRUMP!
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE WITH THAT BULL SHIT FUCK YOU AND DONALD TRUMP AND FUCK ALL YOU RACIST ASSHOLES WHO LIKE THIS DEPRESSED NO GETTING PUSSY MOTHER FUCKER.
Stop all the the bullshits and lets groove-on with HIPHOP DX, EM and PrinceO Worldwide in ONE LOVE worldwide.
The beginning of untouchable really sucks, but once that beat flips to the drums Em really gets into it. Like I said, Em is slippin haha this album is gonna annoy some people like logic and everybody!
QUOTES Rakim= em is nasty
Jay z= em in my top 5 of GOATS
Kool G Rap= em is the last artist to impress me phenomenal
Come up with every excuse u want, lol hes gon die a legend. And album is gon do numbers as always. Don’t like it cover your ears. And p.s. Eminem don’t give a Fuck what yall think!!!!! #justSaying MACKLEMORE mack miller, yelawolf, mgk, and Paul wall are white, never had or will have the impact of a Marshall Mathers so don’t gimme that its cuz hes white bullshit. What u got to say now??? Ok im done here Dec 15th REVIVAL
No one is hating on dude we just hate the album. Let’s keep it about the music not this pride/who’s the greatest bullshit. Nothing you’re saying is subjective compared to anyone else commenting.
The ghost of Bill Clinton has risen and is begging for relevance. Ok, you have no-hip-hop artists as features….ok your tracks released so far are terrible, ok it sounds like you are going to go full anti-america and put music behind the lunatic, racist, liberal and fascist ideals of antifa, hillary clinton, and he fake/mainstream media..
this album is going to fucking suck
This may be worse than Encore. Production is horrendous and his delivery continues to be hard to listen to. It used to be a mystery what happened to Snoop’s flow after “Doggystyle”, but Em is a bigger mystery now and has clearly forgotten how to ride a beat. Maybe 4 redeeming songs on this album. If he would just let Dre and some a actual emceez and Hip-Hop heads back in the studio with him, he may be able to put out one more good album. But this certainly isn’t it.
I like Believe. It’s my favorite song on the album. It’s probably asking a lot, but I hope Eminem drops another album within a year.
Em should have named this THE F**K CUCKSERVATIVES LP PT. 1
Lmaoo!!!
The Great Old Pedophile Party is out in full strength in the comments
Sweet Home Alabama!!! lol
Oh forgot yall couldnt even win Alabama anymore LMAOO!!!
SAD!!!!
I never thought the day would come, where I would have to force myself to finish an eminem album…
This is fucking horrible, nothing but pop beats… whoever is telling em that this is the direction he needs to head in should kill themself.. worst eminem album of all..
Alex Da Kid and Rick Rubin will be the downfall of eminem..
He deserves one more chance lol if he keeps heading down this pop music road then like the doc said.. ITS A WRAP
Yo peep game hip hop heads*Ems lyrics are crazy but I’ve been said this since he first came out*dudes songs suck minus Some gems and they don’t have staying power*no reason a rap historian like shady should be dropping pop crap for the masses*its disgusting he’s labeled so highly*btw*jigga showed u how to rock a rick Rubin beat*but all I ever hear is slim killed him on renegade*one damn song*let’s be real folks*jay is light years ahead of the interscopoe darling*Facts*
This album is better than recovery in my opinion, lot of meaningful songs on the album got goose bumps from about all the songs on the album… classic
Making hits outta talking society and dropping bars to hot to handle hence making a statement in hip hop this cements his place in the top 5 Mc’s of all time. Calling him the GOAT is debateable but he just might be, people might wanna talk about the pop features but that’s what a great MC does fusing different genres in an album cuz its a collection of ideas if you can fuse rock hip hop, pop and RnB into one album I think your are an artist….. The album is a revival for those who doubted him cuz I’m trying to figure out one song on the album that’s not nice. Even though my on critic is he letting himself do all the rapping on the album. I miss Eminem and Royce sparing on a track woulda loved to see that on this album or crooked. album 8/10….
I was only able to vibe to Believe, Chloraseptic, Framed, and Offended…
Untouchable was not terrible either.
“Remind me” most peeps will claim wack on rock sample alone but he flipped that in a way only Shady could. The rest I skipped on pop sound alone-not exactly my cup of tea but Im sure I’ll give it a proper listen during work. Album is what it is-everyone too damn finicky. Overall, I appreciate we even get a new Eminem album still in almost 2018 considering I been listening since SSLP
Arise is a pretty cool album closer too
What the hecc happened to the three headed monster? How is Royce in the stu with Preemo while em spitting over alexthakid? Why Alchemist still on the sidelines and no Griselda?
This and other questions answered on Lupe Fiascos next album L-U-P eeend. Lol so stupid.
“Trash, trash, TERR-ASSSH”
where is the legendary eminem flow from MMLP and The Eminem Show? this shit is horrible, just like recovery and MMLP2.. horrible beats, horrible flow. hell i’d even go as far as saying recovery was better than this, fuck i’d rather listen to that horrible accent from relapse than this horse-shit flow
…on MMLP and The Eminem Show.
What about Encore?!
album is better than 99% of the trash released in the last 2 years. Really enjoying it.
decent, but expected more
4/5
You pop $hit, apologize wigga, just ask KISS!
He’s not able to transition well to new music market and sound. Few artists are able to do that
Hes actually trying on this album and it sounds fucking awful, he should have stuck to his own formula, like Cube & Ghost they have there own loyal fanbase.
total bantha fodder
Ahh Crucify him!!!!!
It should also mentioned that today is the 25th anniversary of The Chronic….
I love Em’ he’s a dope artist but this isn’t the Em I grown to love. His past 2 Albums Relapse and Recovery were better than this. Off the 2nd track believe Em is trying soo hard to fit in with the new generation he is starting to rap like the Trap flow perfect example of this is Lil Kim’s Took Us A Break check it out you will hear what I am talking about. I think Mr. Mather’s it is time to hang up the mic. 1.5/5
Chill. He’s had better bodies of work but it’s not the end of the world. Still a solid artist.. the rest of us will neither be a stan or a hater and just take the songs we like on our playlists and keep it pushing. It’s 2017, don’t have to have the whole album on repeat.
I haven’t heard the album yet, but the reception hasn’t been that great. In my opinion at this point in his career Em doesn’t even have to go the pop route anymore. If I was him I get a hot or good underground producer from Detroit or anywhere and just create a great album for the fans or people really into hip-hop. Forget making pop singles or radio-friendly records he doesn’t even have to hop on any waves. I’m sure he has the clout to release what he whatever type of project he wants to now. Without label interference. Experimental beats are ok, but only when your flow goes well with the beat. Not to compare him to jay, but he’s at the age where he needs his version of a 4.44
thank you Jason. This is the most competent comment I’ve ever read regarding Em and his career. It’s what I’ve been saying this whole time. His album will sell. Stop listening to these suits at interscope and get fucking rick rueben (however you spell that mfkers name) out of hip hop. This aint no hip hop album.
Nothing classic
I have heard the whole album yet, but the reception I’ve heard for the album hasn’t been so good. At this point in his career Em doesn’t have to go the pop route. I’m sure he has enough clout to release what type of project he wants without label interference. In my opinion, he needs to find a good underground producer from Detroit or anywhere and just release a straight hip-hop album. He needs to make an album for his core rap fans. Experimental and pop beats are ok, but only if your flow sounds good to them. There’s no need to chase waves, he needs to do him. Not to compare him to jay, but he’s at the age where he needs his version of a 444.
He had bars… BUT… Musically it was not good. No melodies, too much pop. The producers failed. I give it a 2/5. For the bars.
Album is great
What a body of work. This man has pushed himself even further. And the way he ends with arose was just tremendous
Too much mainstream rap, I think everyone would prefer a kind of album more focused on em’s rap skills and not this, but it isn’t that bad as i thought it would be. 2.5/5
214 comments on a dead hiphop site. Yeah, Em did his thing with this release. Other than the amazing marketing, the songs are MUSIC. Not that trash mumble rap everyone is into (Including me lol)
The song with Phresher makes sense. I can see why he kept it. The song with Alicia Keys is dope.
LMAO yeah bro he did his thing. I ended up keeping #1 and #19. If you like this bull then you probably liked relapse and encore. You probably like anything he puts out regardless of quality.
You can not like mumble rap and also not like this garbage. Time to stop being delusional and up your game in music taste. See Big Krit’s ablum or Big Sean/Metro. Stop being a stan and accept facts “tadbit”
Big Sean/Metro? You serious? Big Sean is beyond wack on that one, bro
Having listened to the whole album now, I’m not sure if I really like it that much. I give it another spin on my headphones later. But I’m sure he could’ve spend a few more dollars to get actually nice production; all the beats on this album suck! I mean, every single one. He even went as low as using trap beats and the “hiphop” beats suck too… Well, he’s still a good writer.
Yeah that has been my biggest knock on him too. Bring back those old school dre beats or let mr. porter produce the entire album.
Indeed.
Yes! That’s what I thought, too. No Dr. Dre (Beat) unbelieveable!!!
one of thye best of eminem rapgod
G.O.A.T.
Your a tool If you can honestly listen to this as a long time Eminem fan and say that shit. Get your head out of his ass, This is wack you know it and his crew knows it. This album is wack and so are you for trying to defend it.
Im a long time eminem fan and i think its a dope album too.
Overhyped pop trash.
M doesn’t care if the album sucks to hip-hop fans. He is a pop star now as long as his pop fans like it. I thought he loved hip hop but i was wrong. He’s just another elvis Presley. M used us and now doesn’t need us anymore. PUCK ASS M!
Mediocre pop music.
that’s 4 albums in a row that sound like shit…damn Em u need to get back in da studio and redo this shit cause this album is awful. get back with D12 or something damn!
Absolutely right! Agree 100%
Aight, I’m a fan of Em however I can’t deny that I’m disappointed. I’ll get to the album but I feel that Em was in a cave for the past 4 years and have not seen the reactions to MMLP2! Rick Rubin again?! Pop stars again?! You’re kidding man! Where the fack is the man that put you in the game?! Dr Dre?! Come on Em! Now regarding the album and keeping in mind that it’s out in 2017 where we have nothing but wack rappers… so compared to what’s out now I still believe the overall lyrical content is fire and if anyone denies that go listen to the garbage out there! I think Em needs to quickly (by next year) drop his 10th album (last album) with DRE as the executive producer then he will save his legendary status! Can’t believe now days if you want to hear a good beat then listen to wack rappers (if we can call them rappers) and if you want to hear good lyrics you need to listen to annoying senseless beats!!! RIP RAP!!!
No it’s RIP Rap I pretty sure on this site if you go listen to Black Thought on what he just did on Funk Flex you know its still breathing Just cuz Em sold out doesn’t mean rap is dead he’s just one man not the culture.
Man! You speak to me from the soul. Real Talk!
This album is Amazing! Em delivered more than I thought he could. The best songs are Believe, Chloraseptic, Bad Husband, Framed, Offended, In Your Head, Castle, and Arose. Fire album and you all know it.
You sir, are a mental.
Wow!!! What the Fuck happened to Eminem his new flow is wack and this album is pop I hardly recognized him. R.I.P Slim Shady, This new Eminem killed your memory. This is terrible. He fell off hard I never though I was say something like that when it pertains to Eminem. He needs to retire while he still has a legacy this is wow. This is just awful. I can’t believe his boys or team would let him put something like this out.
N.E.R.D is pop. This is a political hip-hop album. It’s still true hip-hop.
Its not even political like that. Its dope. Yall dont even listen to shit before saying shit its retarded
What’s dope about it? Serious question! A bunch of rehashed rock & roll records, Em yelling at the top pf his lugs again, awful Pop choruses, none of which sounds like Hip Hop. One of the corniest albums of the year. Gave it three full spins and permanently deleted it without looking back.
You were really able to sit through this shit all the way through 3 times? Good dope huh? I can totally relate. I did some really fire tweak once and sat on Porn Hub for 16 hours. Just stuck, jerking on limp dick. Ended up with some pretty bad jack burn. True story.
If the production isn’t hip hop, and it has a pop singer as a feature, It’s a pop song. That’s how it works my guy. It might be political, but some of these tracks aren’t hip hop.
Relax, It’s just an early April Fool’s joke album.
Dick Rubin is a fucking Richard.
*Richtard*
I am fucking disgusted.
This album is a abomination….I rather listen to young thug..(IM NOT TROLLING )….this year rap has dominated the charts and Grammy…so I don’t understand why he decided drop a country/rock album….and the bars are putrid…in some songs he rhymes words just for the sake of it….the million dollar question is who was in the studio with em him telling him this album was good to go….in the song not afraid he apologized for making relapse….will he make a entire album apologized to us for making this dumpster music….
The only white boy I would fuck
Straight trash.
He’s just trolling… (whatever that means).
His new album comes out on Christmas Day (for kids that have been good). This is just for the bad kids that get a black cross on their doors.
It’s just a sick joke, before the real album drops.
Man, lyrically and storytelling wise, this is one of his most personal. Beat wise, it leave a lot to be desired. But as far as what will sell, he’s definitely smart and hip to what the public likes. Khelani? Ed Sheeran? P!nk? Even Alicia Keys is a top tier pop artist. Look at what Jay did on “NY State of Mind”. Every rapper whose been in the game this long is doing it, has been doing it and will do it. Just wait. Even Kanye put Post Malone on his album. Remember when everyone was making fun of Futurr during his XXL freshmen freestyle? Now he’s one of the biggest artists out. Just wait, you’re all victims of the media and the hype as well and have y’alls own guilty pleasures. This Em album ain’t his greatest but it’s better than Encore and MMLP2. Sad thing is, nothing will make fans happy these days. Even y’all bugging on 4:44 because Jay-Z gets too emotional or lame because he admits his faults and infidelities. This is hip-hop. This is what all artists his age do. Let go and enjoy the music. Whatever music y’all listen to. Pz!
Anytime Eminem drops an album there’s so much anticipation and everyone has an opinion on everything involved with the release. There’s endless debates on track lists, features, album covers, the rollout, the singles, the performance of those singles.
But now the album is there. I’m not a Stan. I’m a fan though. I rate each album on it’s own merits. I liked the touching ‘Walk on water’ and ever since hearing the initial single I was wondering about the follow up track hinted at on the end of the track. A superb opening. What did I want from Eminem? An album where he would be sincere and speaks from his heart. And that’s what we get.
Maybe at one point I’ve been Stan, rating Eminem as the ultimate MC, black or white. I now have more understanding of why not everyone can relate to Em, as he’s quite a flawed ( but real ) individual. The fact that I can relate to so much on this ( and previous albums ) might say something about my mental health and issues. I was moved by many of the tracks especially when he is honest about his part in relationships, mistakes made and self-doubts. I’m not American and in general I fear nationalism. However, the positive and reinforcing Like Home feels like a track that’s needed in America, and other parts of the world where leadership is questionable and the future uncertain. It feels sincere.
There are definitely some Pop rap anthems that some may question if this is real hip hop. Personally I never really look forward to these tracks, however most of them seem to work and although maybe formulaic, Em has perfected the art. What is real hip hop in 2017 anyway? Without judgement there are many forms of hip hop now that all are a complete different sound than was heard in the 90’s/00’s.
Besides the anthems, so called pop songs, there are plenty of boisterous Eminem tracks to be heard on Revival. My personal favourites being chloraseptic, framed and offended. The first one to me is shredding today’s mumble rap in to pieces in a way only can be done by Eminem. Framed is a murder fantasy as we’ve heard before..but even in a track like this we can hear that he has matured.
Overall Eminem raps his ass of on every track and showcases he’s one of the best. As an album I’ve enjoyed more than 75 percent of the content, which is a rarity and it will be on rotation for quite a while.
It almost feels as if the lacklustre rollout and the overall negative perception of it was intended, to only make this album sound even more as a victory than it already is.
As expected, I didn’t care for the album. Although I was open to being surprised. But I’m not a fan of the beats (Where the fuck are The Bass Brothers by the way?) and I’ve been pissed for years about this crappy flow Eminem’s been using since 2010 or so. That being said, the song ‘Castle’ is EXACTLY what we mean when we say “We miss the old Eminem”.
1. He’s using his effortless flow reminiscent to the one on ‘The Eminem Show’.
2. He’s not cramming a bunch of words into his bars and slipping all over the track like a God damn wet baby seal. Though with our luck, it might’ve been recorded years ago and he’s placing it on this album now.
Simply put, us former “Stans” are not here telling Em what to rap about. We’re simply asking the man to rap that shit right, which he clearly does on ‘Castle’ and in some places on the song ‘Untouchable’ after the beat switches up. On one and a half songs the real Slim Shady stood up.
100% Better than what your listening to right now #MumbleCrap #Lyrics4days… Eminem Thumbs Up bro for trying something different!!
He always could write, but god damn – he has lost his ear for beats completely now. The album has sub-par production, not even the high-end mastering could make up for that fact.
You think? Cause I just got done listening to The Realness by Mega and I think I might get into either Death Certificate or some Ras Kass. So I wouldn’t say “better” but there sure as fuck ain’t no mumbling
I lied I would say better and I’m listening to Prince Among Thieves. Look at me name dropping like Game. And I’m really bumpin 6ix9ine sad face
I opened up iTunes and the headline banner was “New Eminem Album, Featuring Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran & P!nk”
Who would of thought they’d see the day?
So dissapointed in my favourite rapper. I would rather he released nothing at all tbh. His legacy wouldn’t be tarnished.
Actually listen to the album. In one complete session, while smoking a blunt or cleaning up the house, or working out. Etc… This is an album for self. Not something you would bump in a car full of people heading to out to party. The Song with Ed is resonates if you ever cheated on a chick that u cared about. The song with Skylar was good to. I was honestly expecting a more Pop/Rock type of beat, Framed is more your Slim Shady/Eminem your used too. The album has skippable tracks, but it’s not what people make it out to be. It’s definitely not a party album (obviously) and the end of the day it’s music
Well folks this is just an embarrassment of an album. Such a disappointment, its just disgraceful. This guy makes snoop dogg look good and that’s saying something. Snoop used to be good, but he fell off around the same time as Eminem, around 2004 or so. Just sad…
Well its official…out of all the older cats that dropped this year …BONE THUGS ..NEW WAVES ALBUM is the best…..and that’s on my momma bone never falls off… bizzy and krayzie remain at the top and are sicker than they used to be
More idiotic crap…
Garbage ..and if you say oh its different and fire…your fucking lying to yourself
this shit is meh. Better than relapse(which isn’t sayin much)MMLP2 and encore. Nowhere near slim shady, marshall mathers and eminem show. Just a notch below recovery. Even if he drops average albums the rest of his career, Em is still top 5 DOA regardless..
Worst part of this album is the production tbh. Content and lyrical skill is still there tho. He needs to get back at producing his own shit again, Bass Brothers and Dr Dre included!! And tho he makes these awkward unasked for features work I’d prefer he get back to his hip hop roots and feature D12, 50 Cent, Dr Dre, Xzibit, Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf, etc..kinda keep it in house like he use to. If he made an album like he did with the bonus tracks ‘Don’t Front’ off MMLP2 or even ‘Ridaz’ off Recovery, I think we’d all be completely satisfied
Eminem facepalming on the cover matches the album’s end results very well. Disappointing!
