Eminem just pulled one over on his fans on Thursday night (August 30) when he released Kamikaze with absolutely no warning whatsoever.
The 13-track album features Joyner Lucas and Royce Da 5’9 and addresses topics such as the negative reactions to his last album Revival, the dissolution of D12 and his opinions on mumble rap.
The cover art itself pays homage to Beastie Boys’ seminal rap album, 1986’s License To Ill.
Of course, Twitter exploded with a range of emotions — from excitement and disbelief to confusion and shock. But, evidently Shady is back.
Check out some of the best reactions below.
Damn @Eminem was like fuck y’all niggas. I ain’t saying shit. I’m just bout to punch niggas in the mouth.
