I think him discovering that he doesnt need to do a two month roll out to be successful or have a single on the radio to have a successful album now a days is the best thing that ever happened to him. I think it kind of woke him up and is like oh shit!! I can do whatever I want. Interscope basically lets him get away with anything...and now he can release shit anytime he wants and be as dark as he wants
Plus he seems to have a renewed confidence that's been lacking for a while. I am excited for the future
I had been waiting a long time for him to drop a kamikaze album. I love hip-hop, I said many times that I wanted a regular Eminem album with no pop features (to appeal to a larger audience) and just hip-hop beat. I even hoped for a Infinite kind of album but Em needs a focus like you guys already said. Trump, MGK, Budden, etc. I am so glad he answered back and I love angry Eminem, "Im the best fuck yall" mood
That's probably why I didn't like the freestyle because I saw Kamikaze as a step forward! Finally. But that freestyle is a step back to me. I feel like Em often does that lol. I should be excited for the future as Kamikaze is probably my fave album since TES jesus christ that is something!! But the pop singers dropping name were a little bit too backwards, to me it's like is insecure himself coming back to old formula...And interviews with him and Sway made me believe he really matured on a couple of subjects but I guess it's a question of percepetion.
Anyway, still love Em, don't like the freestyle but it's just a freestyle!
Budden was like "I don't get why he did this freestyle..." and its like "well....b/c he raps and was promoting a movie.." why does it have to be so deep? Its not a new album. Anyway I get it. People (including myself) always want the best from him because we are fans -and want to see him be successful. But after this year I come to realize maybe I should just enjoy things as they come. I mean yeah his albums I will critique but I just don't want to label things as a step backwards when, like u said, it was just a freestyle. Maybe its also because he is 46 and who knows how long he is gonna release music. And I just don't want to fight enjoying him-especially when he drops such good projects like Kamikaze.
I hope I make sense haha
