Well look what we have here Out of nowhere, Eminem decides to come through and surprise fans with the release of a new album called Kamikaze, which is executive produced by Dr. For all his moral chiaroscuro, this underdog can still give tongue like few others. Perhaps it’s for good – he hasn’t read the Twitter notification about about phrases such as “raping the language”, and Bon Iver has distanced himself from his guest spot on Fall because of a homophobic slur.īut perhaps it’s for ill too: Mathers is right about Yachty. Hip-hop has moved on from Mathers’s high-speed, foul-mouthed wit. How riveting all this finger-wagging is probably depends upon your birth date. In contrast to his previous, more thoughtful outing, Revival, Kamikaze finds Marshall Mathers revelling in his Slim Shady rabid underdog role, fulminating at critics, boggling at Lil Yachty, and sneering at the Migos flow on Not Alike. But one of the most amusing byproducts of a genre more than 30 years on from its inception is a fortysomething lyrical ninja like Eminem taking aim at the current crop of laid-back, mumbling, Xanax-ed MCs.
