Some jokes write themselves; others come true in ways they weren’t intended by virtue of oblivion.
Fixated on being the center of attention even half a century into his life, Eminem’s insecurities about his place in Hip Hop have resurfaced following back-to-back-to-back albums with little to no cultural impact. In an effort to generate a buzz on the same wavelength as The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013), he has once again put together a project alluding to his younger self. Reaching even further back for glory, however, only illustrates how little the Detroit rap legend has to offer as the person he claims to have evolved into.
A purported concept album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is in fact a disjointed and incoherent clump of non-sequiturs, loosely held together by infantile wordplay, forced goading and desperate attempts at one final hurrah in celebration of a past that seems suspiciously indistinguishable from the present.
Though the 19-cut package is centered on what is widely accepted as the MC’s alter ego, it is important to note that the lines between Slim Shady, Eminem and Marshall Mathers have always been blurry regardless of what Reddit may otherwise point to. The fact that he released “The Real Slim Shady” as Eminem on The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) is a testament to that.
Considering he pioneered incel rap long before Childish Gambino decided to use the internet to his advantage, it was in his best interest to preface his latest full-length release with a distinction between who he is in real life and the person immortalized on platinum albums trivializing sexual assault, violence against women and resentment toward queer folk.
At 51 years of age, Eminem is back to pushing as many buttons as his fingers permit as he embarks on what is arguably one of the most washed and unoriginal quests of the contemporary entertainment circuit: multi-millionaires trying to prove that they can’t be “canceled” despite never having come even close to having their hands tied.
With that in mind, he almost seems desperate to stir the pot while trying his hardest to emulate Dave Chappelle and South Park instead of formulating enticing art. There really isn’t much else to the aforementioned “concept,” which essentially comes across as an excuse for him to air out his frustrations at accountability, cloaking them as closure for a bygone era.
From early in the tracklist, Em begins poking fun at (and complaining about) political correctness, feminists, the #MeToo movement, pronouns and Gen-Z while foisting it all off as the deranged antics of Slim Shady. His obsession with the late Christopher Reeve’s disability and Caitlyn Jenner’s gender transition throughout the LP adds to a long list of celebrity references made in poor taste, such as downplaying Megan The Stallion being shot by Tory Lanez on “Houdini” or promising to hurt his critics like Diddy did Cassie on “Antichrist.”
Notwithstanding this façade of defiance, it’s amusing that the self-proclaimed Rap God lacks the courage of his convictions as the words he spits belie the quirky character he’s trying so hard to play. When it comes to what others think of him, he is quite evidently just as sensitive as the marginalized groups he belittles on the project. This has been clear ever since Tyler, The Creator and Earl Sweatshirt upset him by simply stating that they didn’t enjoy the second phase of his career.
In that spirit, Eminem repeatedly feels the need to spoon-feed the implications of his lyrics to clarify where he’s coming from. Scattered between the countless provocations are explanations designed to make dim people feel smart and slow ones feel quick-witted as he seems to be under the impression that his childish bars might fly over his listeners’ heads.
On “Evil,” for example, he refers to “the good kind of gay” as “two men who fuck each other” in an attempt to invigorate the age-old defense that using the word “gay” negatively doesn’t necessarily refer to homosexuals. A few tracks later, on “Fuel,” he acts on his decades-old urge to make light of rape while literally spelling out how clever he thinks he is: “I’m like an R-A-P-E-R, got so many SAs [sexual assaults]/ Wait, he didn’t just spell the word ‘rapper’ and leave out a P, did he [P. Diddy]?” Likewise, on the “Breaking News” skit, a reporter states: “Eminem, in a stunning move, is releasing an album in which he is actually trying to cancel himself.”
These not-so-subtle ploys establish a stipulation of sorts that allows him to go into great detail on “Road Rage” about why he takes issue with obese and transgender people, while playing it off as a bit. However, lines such as “Call me a transphobe ’cause I just can’t cope” and “I gotta participate for us to co-exist?” sound too sincere given the turbulence of sociopolitical discourse today. To that point, the fragility of his ego is most apparent on “Lucifer,” on which he raps: “When you reach these heights, freedom of speech dies/ With every line that I recite, them PC police try to throw me in jail with no bail.”
In crossing the line over and over again, Eminem makes it clear that he’s still mindful of the endless controversies attached to his name as he flirts with words, terms and sentiments that could potentially get him blackballed. Even though audacity is central to the album, he only works it into his songs per the convenience of his brand. If he were to honestly bring up the off-limit words he’s previously used in this seemingly relentless pursuit of humor, surely he would’ve at least made reference to the first letter of every slur he’s used over his 20-plus years in the music business, rather than just R and F.
It turns out Slim Shady is PR trained when it comes to being non-PC.
Eminem’s 12th studio album contains some of his best beat selections since the long-drawn-out slump that began with Revival back in 2017. Even then, the nostalgia evoked by the menacing “Guilty Conscience 2” or the bouncy rappity-rap of “Brand New Dance” fails to pair well with the ill-fitting introspection of “Temporary” or a standout guest verse from JID.
The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is severely lacking in lyrical finesse because the person in charge seems to have a skewed idea of authoritarianism. Instead of mocking those atop the social structure, he has chosen to target those at the bottom of it. The musical equivalent of comedians who do Donald Trump impressions, Eminem’s excruciating lack of self-awareness has made him proud of picking low-hanging fruit without realizing it’s all he can reach since he stopped growing years ago.
This red-pilled extravaganza, unfortunately, will only encourage the likes of Tom MacDonald and Ben Shapiro to keep rapping, while the larger Hip Hop community moves on to bigger and better things.

Wow review is sensitive much? Lol definitely from new generation aha
Whoever wrote this needs to quit their job in music and go work as a bathroom cleaner somewhere. You suck ass at reviews. Fuck shit article
I didn’t like it either. It’s a goofy album. It’s just one big joke. I’m sorry but this was trash. If anybody but Eminem put out this gimmicky comedy album I doubt anyone would listen to that artist again.
@Junior Fuel, Lucifer, Temporary, Bad One, Tobey, Somebody Save Me are far from goofy or a big joke. Clean out ur ears
You have no taste
100
Lmao. To all the Stan’s saying the article sucks. Might be true, but their rating isn’t far off the community rating….based on over 150 view points. Eminem has been mid for a long time, accept it.
@Midinem Eminem has millions and millions of listeners throughout the world. The vast majority of fans love the album. This website comment section has always had Em fans but also Em haters too.. many of them are jealous that he outsells their favorite (like Drake fans). So I’ll take the word of the millions of fans over 150 reviews on this lame ass site
He’s right. Y’all are only hyping this because white kids need to feel like they have a place in hip hop, so y’all have no choice but to push Eminem.
Or you can form your own opinion and not give a shit about anyone else thinks, regardless of who they are.
f*ckwit
f*ckwit.
@Nahhe’sright- keep that race baiting bullshit to yourself, little guy. It’s old and played out, like your mothers coochie
Junior is a f*ckwit
Only thing missing from this album is a Westside Boogie feature. I cant believe Em couldnt find a spot for him.
And 50
This critic needs a band air, bandages & platers
How did they allow your to even write a review on here? I have a feeling you did those for attention and clicks. You must have been sleeping while listening to this album, or you’re simply not smart enough to understand the level of depth in some of the songs. One thing is clear now, this site is not worth coming to for Hip Hop album reviews.
It smart enough to what? Hear him say the exact lame shit for 20 tracks straight… lyrically it’s alright but content wise it’s super repetitive and stale
@Sorry opinions are like assholes.. and so are you.
dude obviously isnt into hip hop and just somebody probably paid $50 tp write an article. he has 283 followers on x. all props to the American dream but none of his tweets are about rap OR anything American and probably just outsourced from out of country.
good album but a little underwhelming at the same time….not a fan of generic choruses like White Gold & Sly Pyper. Not a fan of EZ mill. Wish he has Royce & Dr Dre featured. Other than that no other complaints
This critic needs to go back to listening to his mumble rap.

So this website stops doing new reviews for months, but returns just to post this “review”? Fuck this site, I will be going elsewhere for my hip hop news.
Most journalists hate this dude.
Give it a rest Ovo, Drake isn’t going to bang you.
Didn’t even bring up drake’s name and you’re hating ass shows up anyway. Eminem album sucks even if drake never existed
“Didn’t even bring up drakes name”. Your username is Ovo, you absolute moron 😂 This album is better than anything your favorite pop singer has done in the past 5 years. You are such an idiot lol
Drake ain’t the first to use OVO. He popularized it. And he’s a hiphop r&b artist. He doesn’t pander to pop the way the culture vulture, eminem does
Calls Eminem a culture vulture but defends drake, the biggest culture vulture the world has ever seen. Jesus, you’re painfully retarded and need to be put down immediately.
@Ovo stop acting like you’re not on Drake’s nutsack. Do you think that people forgot who you are? You’d legit eat his ass if he let you, fatgirl
“Drake doesn’t pander to pop culture”…..how do you not hear how stupid this makes you sound lol
We CAN’T be mad at this review. I mean, did we expect anything different from this new age gay site. The old gays r cool. The new gays r FUCKED UP AND DEVIL INFUSED, so this makes review makes sense. I will tell you this though. I’m done with this site. FUCK THIS JAY AND BEY TYPE AGENDA. HA!
U
Album was dope. I’m impressed.
What a fucking douchebag
What a fucking douchebag
This is the fastest way to get Eminem to write a diss track about you!! Lol cant wait to hear Eminem’s new song “whodafuck is ksingh?” Haha
Great read and interesting points. Don’t know if I agree with all of them but eminem is from a past era and I only knew he came out with a new album because of this article.
I was a kid when Em first came up. I never really listened to him, was always into more “underground” shit. That said, I checked the album and even I know this review is on some BS.
I have a question. Is this Benzino doing these reviews? Just wondering whoever did this review is a idiot please stop I’m done with this so called journalism
Nobody on this shit staff is a real journalist. NOBODY. Stop confusing these severely below average amateur bloggers for real journalists. They are all freelancing broke bum ass bloggers who everyone laughs at.
Stop crying like a bitch. If you don’t like what is said, go make your own review.
@Branden Stop crying. If you don’t like what is said, go make your own post. Btw branden is a straight bitch name 😂
Out of touch reviewer…
Feel like this reviewer just didn’t wanna like it already & couldn’t relate to earlier sensibilities & didnt appreciate the concept & thinks EM finding a creative way to let his alter ego say controversial stuff is a BAD thing…..
Even when he clearly shows he knows these jokes are in poor taste & tongue is in cheek & meant to be a throwback.
Conceptually The IDGAF shady was out to get him canceled,

I should have known that Karan “Gringe Worthy” Singer wrote this article. Once again not a clue in the world. Carry on!!!
His most well structured album since Eminem Show. The point is he revisited various styles so something kind of goofy and cringe like Brand New Dance is intentionally done to emulate Encore. It’s his best offering since Kamikazee. His rhyming is insane and honestly someone needed to start taking a stand against how overly PC things have become. Doesn’t need or deserve a perfect 5 but this rating is straight bullshit.
Agreed 3/5 my opinion as a stan. But the 5’s are TES SSLP MMLP.
Another reviewer who completely misses the point.

This is a really good album. I’m 4 listens in and comfortably say this album is between a 4-4.5. Probably a top 3 Em project. This is a well produced album.
Don’t care about the sensitive woke ears that can’t feel Eminem’s lyrical masterpiece here. I’m giving this a 5, even though it’s closer to a 4.

Dope album
Stone cold classic
Last time I come to this site. I know HipHop and I enjoyed listening to this album today. 3.5 or 4 outta 5. BS! I’m done with this site.
Probably some hipster wannabe hip hop listener wrote this. This album is crazy but he wouldn’t know because he didn’t dig deep enough. If he would have done his research and listened to the I’m shady lp he would know what Eminem was going for. This is the same person who would turn around and call the slim shady lp a classic. Stay off the articles and let some real hip hop journalists write the reviews. This cat probably has drake on his playlist and calls him hip hop. Clown

Em still thinks he’s the underground’s king but he a pop star with a fanbase comparable the beehive. He’s still great wordsmith but these attempts to stay hip don’t feel genuine and come off dated. You can’t always be mad at the “haters” and not some of the responsibilities for being stagnant. You’re too successful to be the bitter Emcee.

Is this his best album ever absolutely not. Is this a decent to Listen to ?yes. This review I agree someone was looking for attention and again it’s their opinion, but their opinion is way off base. not saying Eminem is the best rapper ever either. I’m just saying that this review needs a review of itself, this is probably a GenZ person who took offense to topics that are over sensitive for them. Should I ask the reviewer what their pronoun is to because god forbid if I get that wrong and try to cancel me

This entire article focused on being upset over his lyrics like he hasn’t done this before…..fire this chick
Lollll at chick. Karenn the cringe Singh is a pathetic Indlan Immigrant male but he’s gay af so he’s most likely transitioning soon. He’s a complete waste of space his mom should have swallowed him.
Hey relax man.
This is such satire I’d think shady records paid for it
“EMINEM BURIES ANY REMAINING PROSPECTS OF HIS LONGEVITY ON ‘THE DEATH OF SLIM SHADY’” You reveal your ignorance with this title alone. He is in the same conversations as The Beatles, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Queen when it comes to numbers. There’s very little in the ways of people not knowing who he is. He can still attract a crowd of 20k+ after not having done a live show in YEARS. His effect on Hip Hop, whether you like it or not, is never going away. He keeps discussing it in his songs because dumbasses like YOU refuse to just tell the truth and want to fuck around about him simply because he’s white and you don’t like it. Whoever allowed you to post this abomination of an opinion should be fired after firing you. Simply off the blatant lie your title was.

Eminem articles are half of this sites bread and butter, what are you doing!?!?
“Hey Karen, go fuck yourself.”

Might be the worst retire of all time. The album is 4.5 mics. Please. Quit immediately. Whoever this is should be fired, rehired just to fire again.

Album was so boring and garbage. Eminem fans need to find a fan with some rope. Like if you seriously deep down in your heart thought that this is going to get any play ever on the radio or have any influence. Seriously you are not a rap music fan you are just simply an Eminem fan.
You call yourself Ben Dover? What a f@g lol

Reviewer with questionable taste buds for hip-hop music
The fuck does this guy know about the culture or claiming this album does nothing for the culture. This critics bio says his interests are in Indian music. Enough said.
This album is for the hip hop heads. Newer generation may not get it, but they love the no talent mumble raps and recycled trap beats.
Article sounds like it was written by an illiterate gen z retard. An awful review by someone who most definitely listens to watered down mumble rap.
Shame on you as a supposed reputable site for looking for click bate with this. I am not a “Stan” just a genuine fan of hip hop and very disappointed to see this

Horrible take. There’s a deep undercurrent of dislike for the artist in this review. Ergo the link provided.
Do not take this review seriously. It was going to be hated on by this blogger no matter how it sounded
Hire actual people who loves and understands Hip Hop, Karan Singh is a fucking moron.
More booty cheek raps from Em. His time to retire has come and passed twice already. Ain’t nobody checking for him anymore.
Just tell us you hate Eminem or Dr Umar did this review smh
The album is fire. Fuel, Bad One, Somebody Save Me, Lucifer, Guilty Conscience 2, etc are all vintage Em. I loved it, F the haters
Drake doesn’t even need to kill his career. Eminem did that himself with at least half of the album consisting of encore rejects.
The reviewer 100000000% slobbing on Benzinos knob.
All jokes aside you’re clearly lacking the mental capacity to write a review just based on what we all read above. You’re in the wrong industry fam.

What a bullshit review – you can tell this was written by one of the exact people Slim’s new record was meant to trigger. Mission accomplished Marshall!!!

L review from a nerd journalist 🤓 read the comments on social media. People love the album. It’s only the usual Em haters who are crying about it like they do with all his albums
This was clearly written by a midget…
Hahaha. Wow, this shits funny. No reviews for months and Boom! Ema album comes out and theres one up hours later. FOH. Youre hater side is showing bad.

I’m glad people like you feel emptiness in their souls after listening to great modern art… not even a stan… but this review is out of line.. anyway…
how much do ropes and stools cost babe ?
The reviewer is literally a Karen lol Appropriate name for such a lame review.
Lot of Stans in the comment section. This album was ass. I haven’t like Em since I was like 12. I thought Em’s last decent album was the marshal Mathers LP 2. That song headlights on that album actually made me cry and feel something. This album was straight up cheeks. a lot of whiggers and or people who only listen to a few mainstream rap arts are glazing in the comments. Em is overrated. I would not put him above Black thought, Big L, Big Pun, Method man, Redman, Black thought, Common, Ice Cube, Jay-z(Renegade was a tie for me, Em’s 1st verse was better than Jay’s first but Jay’s second verse was better than both em verses) Andre 3k, Logic(before he got corny), Joey Badass, Paul Wall, Rome Streetz, Jcole, Kendrick ect. The song about Hailey, people are saying is the best song, is garbage and Eminem sounds like a rapping robot. There is no soul to Em’s music anymore and there hasn’t been for a long time. Chris D’elia’s impression of Em rapping is so accurate especially new em. In short, the album is garbage and I went in to it with an open mind and Em has become mediocre.

Yet if Beyonce literally shit on a peice of papper it would get 5/5 everytime .. what a fkn joke this trash website is
Gen z review
This might be one of the worst reviews that i’ve ever read in my life. This review is purely subjective and not objective at all. This should never be allowed on any hip hop platform……smh
reviews by nature are subjective just sayin
What a trash review. This album is fire.
Opinions are fine but this review was the exact reason em made this album. Definitely done with this site after over a decade.
Its by no means great but honestly, his bars are still better than 90% of mc’s just on the flows/delivery/cadence and occasionally dope punchlines (and occasionally cringe in equal measure)
BUT the other half is his ‘ear for beats’ aka why Nas fell off then cameback outta NOWHERE when he teamed up with Hitboy for 6 albums in 3yrs and got a bunch of Grammys/nominations for them at over 50yrs old
But the beats are better here, the minimal but smaller features are better here, there’s ONE beat I had to skip but first listen id say this is, only cuz of the fall off after The Eminem SHow, his best album since the MMLP2 but I only had one listen…its 100x better than Revival and didn’t y’all rate that higher?
its a 7 first listen, I’ll take it

Your review is on point. Eminem is a rapper with no substance, that has become famous for talking trash about the relevant pop figures of the moment. In his latest album he uses the same ol’ tricks to generate ‘controversy’, but sound pathetic.
Who let this 13 year old looking clown write a critique ? This album is being absolutely loved by everyone and it’s his best work since recovery
Karenn the cringe Singh is a pathetic Indlan Immigrant with LESS THAN ZERO CREDIBILITY. HE’S A FRUITCAKE DRAKE GROUPIE WHO SPENDS HIS WHOLE WORTHLESS LIFE POSTING IRRELEVANT AZZ N3WS ABOUT HIS HEROES BLUEF@CE, CHRlSE@N ROCK, L@TTO, ICE SPlCE, BUM MI@MI AND THE SHlTTY GIRLS AND A BUNCH OF OTHER CORNY AF, TRASH AF TALENTLESS TRASH CANS.

Album is trash. Just like everything Eminem released after 2002’s The Eminem Show
Your life is trash
Whoever wrote this article needs to just end it all and take themselves out of their misery.
You don’t deserve to write about Hiphop. You don’t know Hiphop. Don’t get stole on Karan
This article is total garbage and so is the person who wrote it. Eminem slays on the new album. I wasn’t really a huge fan of the last 3,4 or even 5 albums – but this one is waaaaaayyyy better. The douche who wrote this has no taste and is obviously a lame wokster.
whole article talking shit jus do your job and report on shit

I haven’t heard the album yet, and I haven’t liked his last several, so this isn’t ‘defending’ Eminem, but I hate when critics give reviews of movies or albums, and the reasons they give for not liking it is because they don’t agree with the moral views of the music or film. That’s an unprofessional and rather childish way of critiquing art. You should be able to be objective about the quality of the music regardless of whether you take the same moral stances as the artist or not.
Wow, please stop listening to rap. Find a new genre. You should not work for a hip hop site at all. Wow, so so bad.

This is the Em I like. A lot of bangers and great lyricism. A lot of bars made me chuckle like in the old days. Only reason album doesnt get a 5 from me is because he once again left off a 2 Chainz collab (he killed his verse) and I am flabbergasted that Em couldnt find a spot for Westside Boogie on this project. Other than that, top notch effort from the GOAT.

What a fucking douchebag
I agree Eminem sucks these days.. he’s a washed up has-been who has been irrelevant for 20 years now..
Great Review. No politics
This isn’t Sonic Youth Karan Singh. You’re bad at your job.

Wtf, ok, album not the best, em is oldish, we know his voice and style is dif but album def is above avarage. I would replace few songs and it could be classic
Who the fuck wrote this? This is exactly who the albums aimed at lol. God, I wouldn’t put my name on this shit if I wrote it either.

Funny how there’s a line about “being sensitive” yet the word filter is so cryptic and aggressive that it’s almost impossible to post a comment longer than one sentence. Literally every criticism cited was addressed in Guilty Conscience 2. I guess Karan was too busy being a Karen to notice.
People’s opinions are like arseholes.
This one’s full of shit.
Best album of all the year!!
They hate on anything white!!!

This has to be one of the worst reviews I have ever read . I’m sorry but the person who wrote this has not a single clue what this album is about and it’s actually embarrassing to think this is your job. This is prob the same people who think future or playboi carti are rappers. Get a new job or learn to properly listen!
Deserving of the title coup de grâce
Beat selection weak sauce. As usual. Rhyming all style and no substance. As usual. Goofy playground/recess humor. As usual. Typical Pop Tart Charts stuff that White folks and their wannabes will “stan” for. As usual. So, I’ll pass. As usual.
It really is bad. The thing that makes it worse he dissed Ye and Candace Owens but said nothing about Ben Shapiro or Tom MacDonald that who he should have put down instead of attacking people who said nothing to him. Candace was right he’s just 51 year old man who thinks he’s 10. I hope more black people wake up and finally call him out. He even thinks he’s better than Nas, Nas needs to check him Dr Umar is right.
He cooked Nas on EPMD 2…. im just sayin
Very bad album. A total flop. Eminem should retire already. Should have two decades ago.
Nowadays we lay bacc smoke some good weed and bump Larry June he don’t be making noise like your favourite rapper
Wow this is what you call journalism? Ha. One of the worst album reviews I’ve ever been forced to read. Quit, now.
Regardless of whether this album is good or not, questioning Eminem’s longevity is daft. Hes more than 25 years into an insanely successful career and his first three albums alone fully cemented his longevity decades ago.
Going out with a wank
One thing to say on this review. Shut up midget. Sorry you know I’m playin’
It was a good album. This girl knows nothing.
All you have to do is watch the numerous reaction videos on YouTube praising the album. Or the majority of people praising it on social media. People love the Death of Slim Shady. The only people saying it was bad are the usual Em haters on here and “offended” millennials with thin skin (like this lame ass journalist who reviewed it here)
Reviewer must be some butthurt Connie. I’m not even an Eminem fan, I think he is a great rapper overrated by white people and asians, but this album is his best in a veery long time.
idk if the album is good or bad, what I do know is the reviewer loves the sort of political correctness that Eminem, South Park, and Chappelle disrespect for 25 years, and the butthurt shines all over the article LMAO
The person who wrote this, their name is Karan. Enough said.
Singh is a Sikh last name. This person is from India, or at least his/her parents are. Kind of idiotic they’re talking about “the culture.” LOL.
This isn’t an album review it’s a petty political rant. You barely actually said anything about the music. Personally I thought it was his best album in a long time, nobody should be looking for Eminem to reinvent the wheel now, he did that 25 years ago, now it’s just about making good music with the style he made for himself, and he did that far better here than he has for a long time.

Karan Singh must be Gen-Z. Sounds like she’s a little offended 🤣🤣
“This red-pilled extravaganza, unfortunately, will only encourage the likes of Tom MacDonald and Ben Shapiro to keep rapping, while the larger Hip Hop community moves on to bigger and better things.”
Huh? Eminem dissed Candace Owens and MAGA; how is he red-pilled?
On a serious note, I’ve been criticizing Em for a while for his corny shit. But this album ain’t it. I’ve just realized that Em is done. I will not take away from the classics he had in the early 2000s. But this album ain’t it. I came to this conclusion after Revival. But too be fair after Relapse and Recovery I still had some believe. I heard Common & Pete Rock album and compare that to this album. The instrumentals are horrible. Yeah I’ve heard here and there a few good songs that are enjoyable. But album wise I don’t know but Eminem has been putting out mediocre stuff since Encore..
This is just cringe and he cannot cope with the fact that the culture does not feel him like his own Stan base does. This was a cheap attempt to try to bring back the old Eminem just like he tried it on mmlp2. When you force these things it gets worse and then he will be complaining about ”people want the old Em, people want the new Em”. This just isn’t it man. A lot of the hooks are horrible and these Skylar Grey features are lame.
A lot of Stans will ride for him, but Eminem has become mediocre. His modern music is horrible with zero replay value. That Houdini is one of the most corniest songs and attempt from him. Whatever he was trying with this, even his so called controversial stuff here is just corny and I doubt if people care to ”cancel” him. It just sounds too forced and attempt of him trying to be his older self from 2000 when people were butt hurt.
His voice is annoying, the beats are mostly wack, the hooks, he does know how to rhyme obviously, says a lot of stupid shxt, and this whole thing of ”I will cancel myself” by saying dumbshxt didn’t work.
Fire

Easily his best since Eminem show

Dope review. Em needs to grow up.
You clearly didn’t get the idea of the album. It’s showing how Eminem has changed his views as an artist now versus when he was younger as Shady. The first half of the album is Marshall trying to kill Shady while Shady is trying to be as controversial as he can. The second half is after Marshall finally killed Shady he moves onto more mature content like if he never gave up his addiction. If you don’t actually listen to lyrics then you won’t get the album. All the “crude” and “offensive” jokes are to show how immature Eminem was back in the day versus how he’s matured now. Love this album and what it represents. He gave fans exactly what they wanted. Mature content and also gave us wacky verses. Production was dope and he told stories again plus the features were cool. It’s just a trend to hate Eminem now so of course people aren’t going to enjoy it. No matter what he puts out, even if he does what “fans” ask him they still won’t enjoy it.

This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. Says Eminem has been irrelevant for years yet this magazine gave Kamizake a 3.9/5, MTBMB a 3.8/5, and Revival a 3.2/5. Just an oversensitive individual who shouldn’t be writing reviews because his feelings got hurt. His P Diddy disses are on the mark and the Lizzo diss is a honest reality check in a society where more health issues are arising yet we are doing nothing about it. Slim Shady or Marshall, sometimes the stuff needs to be said. Review the music and leave your feelings out of it.
Sorry but when listened to from start to finish, this album is art. 10/10

This is just another review in a long line of terrible, “missed the mark” reviews.
What kind of review is this, it’s nothing but poltical talking points. Just because it hurt your feelings doesn’t mean it’s that bad. Could be better.
I’m surprised they let this clown review something
i knew as soon as I saw “incel” that this reviewer went in with a ton of bias.
Best his flow has been in awhile tho there’s still traces on the robot flow. Beats are mostly pretty nice, but the concept ain’t that deep. Somebody save me is moving and his verse on fuel is spotless, but a lot of this content is just eye rolling. Em needs to get off Twitter for real. Who’s trying to cancel Em?? I haven’t seen anyone outraged about this album or his recent albums (other than the trash can known as revival). The Slim Shady character was really making good points in the early 2000’s surrounding free speech and the white middle/upper class,but now Slim is no longer relevant. Eminem just sounds like a rich white guy rapping with a victim complex surrounding gen-z and getting canceled of all things. Since kamikaze his insecurities have been on full display. Dude loves to dish shit out but can’t take it at all. He’s as sensitive as he’s thinks gen-z is. Eminem can do whatever he wants but I’m not feeling this. It’s sad to see where this is at. Full of “bad insensitive” lyrics to build hype. Hope he can find a way to make a new album without relying on Slim. Which is guess was the point but whatever.
These corny ass magazines trying to get attention using Eminem’s name, criticizing Eminem lyrically is crazy, i can imagine how the person who wrote this looks like, A phatazz bithx who looks like Peter Griffin F y’all Emine isthe most listened rapper in the world say what crap you wanna sag
What a load of rubbish. The album is a million times better than whichever sour puss wrote this article. This person should not be writing for a hip hop media outlet.

This site used to review hip hop. Now it cherry picks what they want to judge.. Yall haven’t reviewed anything in months. Can’t take it seriously. Not saying the album is great or trash but with no consistency in your reviews and the speed with which you hated this but overlooked Common and Pete Rock and several other dope releases I wouldn’t take your word on shit.

Album is hot garbage 🗑️ 🔥 Eminem fell off
Worst review I ever read over any platforms. But we have seen this before when it comes to Eminem, the worst ones really pop out like popcorn. Like this Karan Singh guy who wrote the article.
Hjj
Is it that or do you suck at your job. Sounds
Like you soft mushy person who probably like mumble crap, I mean mumble rap.
It being a concept album makes it better than most lazy hip hop albums now. It lacks severely in features and dre beats. Why no 50? Why not include “luka & kyrie”? Why no royce. It wasn’t really bad but i skipped only 2 songs w jelly & skylar. Hes held to a higher standard being a legend and top 5 rapper. Songs ill listen to probably for rest of my life are Tobey, Fuel, Antichrist, Head Honcho. I think Em can still drop a legendary verse and insane bars but personally as a stan it was underwhelming. He needed more creative features. Why not call redman? Why not call wayne? Idk i would have loved some fun features

you guys are the same site that gave Kamkize and MMLP2 bad reviews.you have no credibility anymore and have lost it long ago. It’s clear where you lie with the media with all this non hip hop circus trash you busy post daily.
Fuck this rigged voting in this bitch. Albums not the best but 1/5 is an insult
Whoever wrote this is trying their absolute hardest to use these disses to sound intelligent, when really they probably just 17 years old.
I guess i will give it a 5 to balance the score. Really it’d like a 3-3.5. Not sure how did you end up with 1.3, like there are some really trash rappers that put out an album you always give them a rating between 3-4 but ok.

The album is not close to prime em as some stans say but come on this is miles better than revival.
sorry for double post
Community rating is 100% false, its not possible gor it to be 1.9 with 70 x 5/5. Even if everyone else gave it a 1 (which is not true) it would still be over 2. It is almost certainly over 3.
Now that you say it’s easy to check, for sure it has to be much higher. Fuck this site.
This review is as bad as it is good. It’s actually really similar to the album it critiques. It thinks it’s smarter than it is.
Eminem word play is insane and he’s god level spitter, but he does worry about cancellation as he’s the biggest star in rap, he can’t be that stupid not to notice that contradiction.
Em is a hero, but he is so sensitive.
Hopefully, Slim is dead and Em makes more poignant music going forward where he does t need to fit a joke into every bar
wack album indeed
Wow. Easily Eminem’s worst album. And I love Eminem. It was beyond terrible. Smh.
This is one of Eminem’s best bodies of work. Whoever wrote this shit ass article buried all the few remaining prospects they had to be a good journalist. It’s probably a retarded transgender midget who wrote this

Best Em album of the decade
y’all mad, because all Eminem did, was hold the mirror back onto woke america.
and a lot of them cant handle the truth.
as the album says, the world isnt one big liberal campus
Karan Singh = Culture Vulture
Don’t quit your day job . . .
So we aint gon say nothing about dr Dre beats on this album🤔
He’s still better than the person who wrote this article lol
lol this shows how out of touch with hiphop this site has gotten. I am 40, been a fan of hiphop since the early 90’s and my nephews are in their early twenties and we both thought this album was amazing, best Eminem since album Encore.

This review really is just a hit piece that managed to completely miss the entire concept. You complain that Eminem doesn’t explicitly separate himself from the character yet that is what the entire album is about. I guess Karan didn’t get as far as Guilty Conscience 2 and missed all the build up before then. There is also an entire discography previous to this album. The uncel rap remark was ridiculous as well considering he dissed Candace Owens and the MAGA movement, just the same as he did on Revival. The whole album is a story about how out of place and ridiculous Slim Shady is in 2024 and how Eminem is killing him off. It’s also a response to people that keep saying they want the old Slim. It’s very meta and hilariously ironic that all of this went over Karans head, especially because he gave the album a bad review for not being woke. The beats, flows and wordplay mean that this is absolutely nowhere close to being a 1/5 but this review was based on Karen’s emotions rather than the music itself. Given that the fans mostly seem to love this album and it’s the critics are losing their minds, I’d say Eminem absolutely achieved what he wanted with this album, even if I personally don’t rate it as one of his best (still good though). And criticising the longevity someone with a career spanning three decades is beyond ignorant. And more than a little ironic considering that this review is so bad that people are walking away from your outlet.
The community rating feature appears to be broken. It doesn’t properly calculate the average ratings.
The album sounds better and makes way more sense if you listen to the album backwards (last track to first).
Listening to it that way…. it’s almost like Slim Shady is killing Eminem not the other way around.

The album is a concept album played out in dream sequences revolving around his alarm clock, and if you listen to it from back to front instead of front to back, Slim Shady lives and actually kills off Marshall Mathers. Infantile wordplay? Are you serious, do you even know what wordplay is? You sound like a triggered snowflake; let me see those liberal tears and don’t forget to salt yourself cupcake. You have no business reviewing the Hip-Hop genre or any music in general. Seriously, you can barely even write properly using grammatically correct sentences. Maybe you should off yourself when Trump wins in November, because you have no future doing this.
Seems like the album’s conceptual storytelling and hilarious/genius bars/delivery pointing out how fucking pathetic society has become really did go over this fools soft-spotted head. Seems like someone did something terrible to this sad boi, other than showing him what a true legend can do in the studio. If you don’t realize he’s pointing out hypocrisy while literally rapping as two different people, your attention span is likely just as tiny as your pathetic excuse for a cock. LOL big yikes to this website and Eminem haters

No reviews for months & then this. Screams desperation…
What a terrible review – I get it if you don’t like his non pc topics but this album has structure, great beats, super doubles / trebles, alliteration, cadences and flows. You really can’t give it less than a two unless you are just a pure hater. Listen to what rappers are saying….

As with any album, people can like or not like this album. The reviewer appears to have a an overly harsh negativity towards Eminem.
It’s a good album IMHO, and I haven’t liked Em’s music for a good few years now. As for the ‘content’, jeez.. the guy has always hit the same note – it’s who he is, and I personally love him for it, which is not to say I’d agree with the satire he’s pushing. It’s just that – satire. You laugh at the ‘wrong thing’ because in real life you know what the right thing is.
Obviously the reviewer doesn’t get it, and takes him/herself way too seriously. Chill out – it’s art with some fun, great beats, and still one of the most talented rappers out there in terms of flow.
As with any album, people can like or not like this album. The reviewer appears to have a an overly harsh negativity towards Eminem.
It’s a good album IMHO, and I haven’t liked Em’s music for a good few years now.

The last album you this site reviewed was Bryson Tiller. Go back to getting exclusives. Thought you all was going out of business.

They only reviewing this album for traffic and clickbait. They haven’t reviewed albums in months lol
I guess nobody understood the P.Diddy line in fuel. Got it. Lol this ain’t a review, just an opinionated hate piece
This is an amazing album, one of Em’s best too. I absolutely love the not-as-serious general tone of it, which was something I’ve been wanting from Em for a good while now. Not a perfect album, but deserves a strong 4.5 out of 5 it is. I give it a 5 here.
Production is excellent, beats are bangers, his voice sounds amazing, delivery is on point and the Slim-parts with the different voice are great additions! Featuring artists all perform very well, bonus points for a very good Bizarre performancel! “Temporary” made me cry while listening, a very emotional song – executed perfectly.
If one thing is to be negative about, it is that it’s quite tame. I get it that he’s grown up, but dude – come on, this style of an album should not hold back anything. This feels like it’s made to overly comply with the current trends of censoring. That’s not a good thing. Doesn’t make the album bad, but absolutely means it could never be a 5/5 album. Express yourself freely, Marshall.
Otherwise, I really have no major complaints. After a ton of listening; one hell of an album, even better than I could hope for, after hearing Houdini and Tobey.
Reviewer was unqualified to review this album and displayed ZERO journalistic integrity.
Great album

Whoever did this review needs to really take a look in the mirror. Check your bias and think if this is really the job for you.
This is the most trash take on Eminem I’ve ever read.

Em’s the Goat
How does this have a 1.3 rating when most of the ratings I see are 5 or 4 stars ?
Beats are wack except Renaissance and Tobey. Lyrics shit on everything in the Industry today because the man’s on another level lyrically. Not a classic album by any means, but the Kendricks of the Industry can’t do this. EVER💯
5/5
Everyone here is gay. Eminem’s album is 1000 times better than Drake
Great album
“severely lacking in lyrical finesse” 🤣 This review is severely lacking in objectivity. Talk about living in your feelings, Jesus Christ.

This article is str8 trash. This is by far EM’s best work. He’s unapologetically comical, but at the same time speak truth to our crazy societal American lost “way” of life. It’s one of my favorite albums of the year! I’m 45 year old New Yorican Hip-Hop head for life…
Whoever wrote this trash needs to be fired lol lame ass
Eminem pays bloggers and hiphop magazines to push the narrative that he is GOAT of urban and black culture. No wonder BOTS flood my feed to make him look like a GOAT because if you keep seeing something enough you start believing it. He ain’t in top 10 he’s whack
