    Of course I do.....

    what does that have to do with my post??

    So interscope/UMG/Marvel/whoever has paid for some adverts that you had to watch?

    Ok. That's pretty s--- if you don't like em but still, not sure about the relevance of that there.

    Because you trying to make out I am hearing the album everywhere because everyone is liking the album & i can't escape it lol.

    It has done well on the charts but I have not heard anyone playing the album in general life.
    It has no songs to play at a gym,radio or anywhere really.

    What's weird about discussing Eminem in 2018 is: in one camp, Eminem can do no wrong. (These people likely have mental issues.) In another, Eminem can do no right. (Some legitimacy here, but also some try-hards who approach the Em hate fashionably.)

    In the middle there's me. The only honest mf

    I don't think much of them, tbh. I probably haven't played the album in a month and have only listened 5 or so times

    Based on memory...

    I thought the first three overall were...pretty solid. The best bunch on the album. I could nitpick (that Greatest hook gets on my nerves), but overall, I think this run of songs really oversells the rest of the album

    Already spoke on Normal. He isn't good at writing these songs and really should consider abandoning them. There's nothing new or interesting here.

    I thought we were done with skits

    Stepping Stone - spoke on this earlier too. The most interesting song on the album lyrically. He really opened up and it sounds genuine. Unfortunately nothing about it makes me want to come back to it musically. So as I said - good song, but little replay value

    Not Alike - pretty corny, as I said earlier. I don't hate it by any means, but I do think his obsession with tearing down "mumble rap" is really unbecoming and comes off as bitter and out-of-touch. You can find that sort of bitterness all over the album but as I recall this was one of the worst offenders

    Kamikaze - this is the one where he samples Fack, right? lol I hate this

    Fall - one of the better ones on the record, probably my favorite! I'm a big Justin Vernon fan so I was glad to see him here.

    Nice Guy/Good Guy - could do without, particularly the first one. That "s--- my d-ck" part is unbearable. Similar critique to Normal. He just comes off as desperately misogynistic and immature on these kinds of songs, imho. Idk what he thinks he's accomplishing here that he hasn't already accomplished elsewhere?

    Venom - forced movie tie-in. Thought it was decent at first but grew tiresome quickly

    please picture me as Daniel Day-Lewis in Phantom Thread while reading this post

    Calling out Eminem for rapping his a--- off is like calling out a sports player for playing a sport really well. TLOP f---ing bangs hard but rapping on that album is painfully average besides a few songs.

    Music is art not a sport.

    Eminem should leave the rap battle stuff for Bodied or freestyles & try and make songs that sound good. Rapping all the fast all the time as well very annoying especially with a voice the sounds shot.

    I think if we're being honest, TLOP is better than Kamikaze, but Kamikaze is better than Ye...

    Also, as much as I've criticized Em's music post 2002, I'd easily choose a newer album from him than a Kanye album where he spouts baseless right wing talking points, Candace Owens, and slavery being a choice.

    I have been saying this for years lol. And even in this very thread. Both sides are cringe even if the latter is 'more' right I guess. But rating kami 1/10 and saying its the worst album of the year is equally lame as rating it 10/10
