I think kamikaze gets both overrated and overhated itt as always w eminem.
Obviously its miles ahead of Revival lol. The production alone is a lot better.
The Ringer was a great opening song, but to me its more of a statement than a song I still listen to. Very well done but not a song I go back to a lot.
Greatest is nice. The fast s--- doesn't annoy me here.
Nice guy sucks
Normal has a cool beat but I'm sick and tired of his fantasy relationship songs
Good guy is nice despite the boring content
Stepping stone is great
Venom is nice, it grew on me later on
Lucky you is pretty good
Fall is great
Kamikaze is kinda corny but still better than most of his 'goofy' songs.
Not alike , liking the shots at mgk and royce does a good job. Nothing that special though.
So yeah , people calling it bad are really overreacting , same w people calling it top 10 this decade lol. But again, this is nothing new.
He can't continue this though. Caterpillar was ok and rainy days was also a nice song (mostly because of boogie) but the whole 'haha new rappers s---' stuff is not gonna last
Kamikaze is the closest thing to a real Eminem album that I've heard since 2002. It was a solid release, but if it was released after The Eminem Show, people would think he fell off.
Honestly, I rated it at like a 6/10, and I'm pretty comfortable with that rating, considering everything since Eminem Show was about a 4 or lower for me.
Still though, for what it was, I really appreciated it from Eminem. I don't think it was a classic, but it definitely sits at number 4 for me.
It was the first time that it felt like he was being himself on an album or even a song. It didn't seem like he was overthinking anything, and he just let off.
But, in saying that, I don't think he'll ever top it, but I'm totally OK with that now.
I'm definitely interested to hear what he has in store, but I might be even more shocked than I was during Kamikaze if he can pull it off again.
Kamikaze was really dope. He definitely has the talent to top it. It’ll be interesting to see if he can actually do it though.
I just wish he would stop doing the fast flow. Miraculously he pulled it off and somehow made it sound good on the Chlora remix and on kamikaze. But I think he needs to stop that s---.
I thought it was definitely a step up from Revival but still the songs are not pleasing to the ear to me. Probably I'm just bored of Eminem's aggressive delivery in every single song and its been a long time since he's had a redeemable chorus. Also, all the songs beyond the critical rebuttals are unlistenable to me (good guy, bad guy, normal). Some of the beats are pretty good though.
