Jun 1, 2024 Had no internet for the last 36 hours so only just listened to this for the first time. It's f---ing horrible being 24hrs behind the rest of the world for this! I was hoping he would actually go back to the old formula and it would be a light-hearted, funny song and that's exactly what we got. I think it's brilliant! But just like TRSS, Without Me etc, it will get old fast and become a skip on the album. But I'm ok with that for now as we're seeing the same formula that made him great in the first place. Bring on the album!
Jun 1, 2024 Spot on man. This roll out highlights again how badly they f----- up Revival's roll out. I hope someone got fired for that s---.
Jun 1, 2024 Eminem really got the Streets feeling like it’s 2002 again. I wonder if this will get as big as Not like us. Aftermath really is owning the summer
Jun 1, 2024 It’s probably a few million more than that. Cause YouTube takes time to process views to make sure it’s not invalid traffic. Can take up to 48 hours. It’s closer to 17 million or more in real time.
Jun 1, 2024 Does everyman have a stage of life where they discover they can grow a beard and just decide to go with the look of a homeless for a year or so?
Jun 1, 2024 This is probably the most insightful and even-handed review I’ve seen: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/eddiefrb/album/970891-houdini/ My only critique of the review is that this track is far from earth-shattering. There’s a clear progression from the bitterness of Kamikaze, to the brief glimpses of self-awareness (and self-confidence) on MTMB (more pronounced on the B-side tracks), to the more recent Ez Mil and Juice WRLD (x2) features. I only have one question for people surprised by the quality of the music we’re about to get… …Do you fools listen to music, or do you just skim through it…?
Jun 1, 2024 "Last week an ex-fan mailed me a copy of the Mathers LP to tell me to study it, it'll help me to get back to myself and she'll love me..." Looks like she finally got through to him.
Jun 1, 2024 100%, focus on his label and producing. Might do features here and there. Doubt we will get another album from a 54-55 year old Eminem.
Jun 1, 2024 Very good review indeed. Also, one of the comments below the review: Imagine thinking Eminem's greatness is due to MTV.
