Eight months after releasing his eighth studio album, Revival, Eminem has returned with a surprise new album. The album is called Kamikaze and he dropped it out of nowhere on Thursday, August 31st.
The album features 13 new tracks from the legendary rapper and appearances from Royce 5’9″, Joyner Lucas, and Jessie Reyez. What makes Kamikaze an interesting album is that it is a response to the negative reaction that his last album received. On Kamikaze, Eminem takes shots at Joe Budden, Tyler, the Creator,Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Yachty, Lord Jamar, and more.

On the opening track, Em has some dismissive words for Lil Yachty:
“Not Alike” features Royce da 5'9" and production from Tay Keith and Ronny J. On the song he takes shots at Machine Gun Kelly:
Get this fuckin' audio out my audio, adios
I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though
Not even dissin', it just ain't for me
All I am simply is just an MC
On "Fall," Em aims at Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks, rapping:
But next time you don't gotta use Tech N9ne if you wanna come at me with a sub-machine gun
And I'm talking to you but you already know who the fuck you are, Kelly
I don't use sublims and sure as fuck don't sneak-diss
