such a bizarre release. preemptively noting in the verses that it might(/will) get completely eviscerated doesn't mean it's any less deserving of such. it just... doesn't really go anywhere and is already pretty well-trodden territory for him thematically. a meandering mess.
beyoncé was an appropriate choice for the chorus given the untouchable persona she embodies in her media image. but unlike her own recent work that provides just enough of a glimpse to feel personal and soul-bearing, on this she still seems very much behind the barrier, and the simplistic tune doesn't give her voice enough room to redeem it. (on that note: the industry needs to acknowledge that it is no longer 2011 and no one wants rap music packaged with skylar grey choruses. they literally are currently trying, and failing, to make that happen with macklemore too.)

the going theory is that the pun is
"pressure increases [in creases] like khakis"
instead of a boner joke

I've never been into slam poetry, or even heard any of it properly, but Em's new delivery sounds like my mind's conception of what it would sound like.

new song is dreadful, not even going to link it
very surprised to see that Stan is apparently not among his 10 most popular songs on neither Spotify or Youtube - wtf?? actually 50% or more of his top hits seem to be off albums after Eminem Show which is iirc clearly where he fell off

this take seems pretty OTM to me. a lot of my classmates were big into Em in the late 90's and I feel like nearly all of them turned into #MAGA ironybros.

Had rock bottom expectations for this one, but I'm loving it. My friends and I (all ex-Eminem fans who think everything he has done after 2005 is total garbage) have a WhatsApp group chat in which we're all unexpectedly losing it over this.

I'm not losing it but def the most inspired I've heard him since yes 2005 or smth

he gets instant points for the sub-75-minute running time and what seems to be a reduction in big syrupy chorus hooks

...but I got tuckered out around the fourth song. I can't deal with his voice/persona for more than 10 minutes at a time anymore and I re-remember this every time there's a new album.

Via Variety:
When Eminem dropped his surprise album “Kamikaze” late Thursday night, hip-hop fans of a certain age immediately noticed that the cover was both an homage to and a spoof of the Beastie Boys’ 1986 debut album, “Licensed to Ill.” A rep for the rapper confirmed that the homage was intentional; a rep for the Beasties said the group had not yet commented.
