Yeah I just saw this too.  Seems with digital media now Em’s gone the opposite extreme... the old system of building anticipation months before the album with like street single (“Just Don’t Give A Fuck”) then radio single (“My Name Is”) magazine features, promo shows, street teams etc all building a buzz for a big release date—has been replaced with—surprise releases.

Which is cool I mean he doesn’t have much of a choice, so it’s an interesting way to go about it.  I remember being depressed my Freshman year of high school 96-97 sitting in Math class—after Pac had died, Suge locked up, Snoop bricked with Doggfather and to pass the time in Math class I would invent releases in my head, like a Kurupt solo or some shit like that and imagine they’d just shocked the game and released it on a Tuesday without any promotion.  I’d imagine the sound and impact of it, sales, and so on.   

(As a side note Kuruption was released like nearly two years later on a label other than Death Row And aside from lead single and a few bangers it was largely disappointing considering I’d already over-hyped it in my head long before)

I guess Em felt he was victim to unrealistic expectations and prefers surprise releases

Eminem Surprise-Releases New Album ‘Music to Be Murdered By’

Rapper releases anti-gun violence clip for new single “Darkness” channeling Las Vegas Route 91 shooting



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHQC4fAhcbU&feature=emb_title


Eminem surprise-released his 11th album on midnight Thursday, ending weeks of rumors and speculation on when the rapper would unveil the follow-up to 2018’s Kamikaze.

The 20-song album features guest appearances by Ed Sheeran, Black Thought, Q-Tip, Royce Da 5’9″, Anderson .Paak, Young M.A. and a posthumous appearance by Juice WRLD. The album also finds the rapper enlisting three-quarters of the Em-affillated supergroup Slaughterhouse with “I Will,” featuring Royce, Joell Ortiz and Kxng Crooked.

To accompany the album’s release, the rapper unveiled the anti-gun violence video for “Darkness,” in which a sparse piano ballad and minimalist drums anchor the quiet track. What starts off as a song about loneliness and the crushing weight of solitude builds to a tale of a man murdering people with guns as his outlet. The clip channels the 2017 Route 91 Harvest music festival shooting in Las Vegas, where a gunman opened fire from his hotel room and killed 58 people before killing himself.

The clip ends with a montage of various actual other mass shootings in America with the message, “When will this end? When enough people care. Register to vote at Vote.gov. Make your voice heard and help change gun laws in America.” The video also links to a new website with information and links to various anti-gun violence organizations such as Everytown for Gun Safety and Sandy Hook Promise.

Eminem announced the album on Twitter by sharing its cover art and writing, “It’s your funeral…” The rapper also wrote that the album was inspired by filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, which is reflected in the LP title and photo used in the album art he tweeted. The interlude “Alfred” features a clip from Hitchcock introducing his sole album release, 1958’s Music to Be Murdered By.

To the surprise of the world, Eminem just dropped an album out of nowhere called Music To Be Murdered By. You can stream it here. It came with no forewarning just like Kamikaze in 2018, however in the past couple of months there have been rumours about a megastar putting out an album that many assumed to be Em.

In our exclusive interview with S1 a week back, he mentioned that he’d been working with Em “quite a bit” lately and that the camp is very secretive.

Unfortunately his name does not appear on any of the credits, but many big names do. There are frequent collaborators like Mr. Porter and Dr. Dre (he did as many as 7 songs) and then some producers that will surprise people, like d.a. got that dope and Ricky Racks.

Music to Be Murdered By is the eleventh studio album by legendary Detroit rapper Eminem. The surprise album serves as a follow-up to Kamikaze and is the rapper’s first endeavor of 2020. The project is a double-album, including two labeled introductions and one labeled outro.

The double-album was seemingly inspired by Sir Alfred Hitchcock (August 13, 1899 – April 29, 1980), one of the most influential and prominent directors and filmmakers of all time, who also titled his debut 1958 album, Music to Be Murdered By. Throughout the course of Em’s project he references Hitchcock numerous times, including on the secondary cover art, “Alfred (Interlude),” “Little Engine” and “Alfred (Outro).”

The album features 12 artists across eight songs, including a third collaboration with Ed Sheeran, a track with the late Juice WRLD and three tracks with frequent collaborator, Royce da 5'9".

Producers The Alchemist, Andre Brissett, D.A. Doman & 14 more
Writers The Alchemist, Alex Villasana, Anderson .Paak & 48 more
Additional Keyboards Focus…, Fredwreck & Luis Resto
Additional Producer Luis Resto

That Kam track is raw.
Seems like the concept on Em's new album originated from the Alfred Hitchcock sample on that song.

11. Stepdad (Intro)
Produced by Dr. Dre
Mixed by Dr. Dre

^ Those whacks, beats by Dre   ;D

Yay Yay - Q-Tip seems to be enjoying his recent role as a hook master, Em ripped his verse.

I Will - Liveliest hip-hop beat on the album, Em throwing props to the ol skool whilst mopping the floor with Lord Jamar at the same time. Em's whole verse was ill...

Now this will probably be the most illest shyt that I've ever said
God bless the dead and let Biggie possess the pencil lead
They called me a sped and said that I had a messed up head
'Cause I said motherfukk school and instead went to special ed
Sippin' Bacardi and lime I start to recollect on the time
That I startled my mom and had her scared to death
Word to Method Man
She heard some Wu-Tang coming from towards the patio
She was like, "What the heck was that?"
She went to check on the noise and go inspect the deck
Then I jumped out with a sword and yelled, "Protect your neck"
Now bow to the Lord, hold up, no, better yet, kneel
Better yet, get down on all fours and take a vow to always
Rejoice in the sound of my voice, bytch, you don't have a choice
Just a third of my will will overpower yours
Using about a fourth to create the amount of force
It'll take to knock out a horse like a tranq full of Tylen— or
Enter my house of whores with a thousand floors
Got a crown of thorns, but it won't fit around the horns
But I'ma keep it a buck like a dollar store
I'm more than you bargained for and I am far more worse
Than a fourty-some bar Lord Jamar verse
Nothing means more than respect, so when I curse
You could say I swore to protect
My image I have zero time or regard for
I never was, been claiming rap when it's not yours
If it was anyone's house G Rap and Rakim would be havin' you mop floors
Run-DMC would be havin' you cleanin' sinks
Yeah, your group was off the chain, but you were the weakest link

Rest of these youngins of mine
Time to start throwing some shade, this time I'm shutting the blinds
'Cause when I'm looking at y'all, shyt, it's no wonder it's why
I need a visor, 'cause y'all are just suns in my eyes
Born a cynic and more demented than an orphanage with a morgue up in it
Next door to an abortion clinic
Newborn infants tortured and tormented
With their foreheads dented when they drop 'cause the floor's cemented
Their corpses get ornamented
The corner where the store has been rented
To store them in and the torsos of forty women reported missin'
Distorted, twisted, this isn't no storybook ending
This is only the beginning
So Lord forgive me, Im hearing voices
I can't ignore them anymore, they're winning


As expected...

Eminem faces backlash after comparing himself to Manchester Arena bomber

Relatives hit back at ‘disrespectful’ rapper over lyrics referring to terror attack

Eminem has been criticised after comparing himself to the Manchester Arena suicide bomber.

His track Unaccommodating, taken from his new album Music to Be Murdered By, includes controversial lyrics that appear to make light of the 2017 terror attack. Twenty-two people were murdered as they left an Ariana Grande concert after Salman Abedi detonated a bomb in the foyer of the music venue.

In the track, the star raps: “But I’m contemplating yelling ‘bombs away’ on the game / Like I’m outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting.”

Hours after its release, the musician faced a backlash on social media. The mother of 15-year-old Charlotte Hodgson, who died in the attack, called the track “disgusting” and “disrespectful”.

Meanwhile, Figen Murray, whose 29-year-old son Martyn Hett died in the attack, called the song “pointless”.

“Feels like he is piggybacking on the fame of Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber and says distasteful things about other celebrities,” she wrote on Twitter. “Not clever. Totally pointless. And before all Eminem fans pounce on me, I am not interested and will not engage.”

Murray has campaigned for the introduction of Martyn’s Law, which would require venues to introduce more stringent security checks.

Elkan Abrahamson, a solicitor for several of the bereaved families, said: “Eminem is a traitor to his talent; this is disrespectful, unwarranted and needlessly cruel.”

Others agreed, with many Twitter users saying they were disgusted by the lyrics and that it was “a pathetic attempt to get attention”.

“I am disgusted how did he or his team think this was okay? He’s trash,” one user wrote. Another said: “The fact that Eminem made a joke about the Manchester attack in his song makes me sick. He can’t get out of this one. He fully said her name and can’t deny it at all. Disgusting. How insensitive do you have to be to say something like this.”

One user called on the rapper to show some respect to those who had died and been injured: “This is so messed up! Many people (mostly children) were injured at this concert and some even lost their lives, and he thinks it’s OK to put this lyric in a song? @Eminem maybe try and have a little respect, and don’t use a terrorist attack to gain clout.”

The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said: “This is unnecessarily hurtful and deeply disrespectful to the families and all those affected.”

It is the second time the rapper has referenced the Manchester arena bombing in his lyrics. In a 2018 freestyle battle rap, with a spoken caveat at the beginning that “nothing’s off limits” to get a reaction from the crowd, he rapped:

    “Squashed in between a brainwashing machine

    Like an Islamic regime, a jihadist extreme radical

    Suicide bomber that’s seeing

    Ariana Grande sing her last song of the evening

    And as the audience from the damn concert is leaving

    Detonates the device strapped to his abdominal region

    I’m not gonna finish that, for obvious reasons”

Elsewhere in Unaccommodating, he compares himself to Saddam Hussein and Ayatollah Khomeini, and also references the September 11 attacks.

The album is the musician’s 11th full-length release, and his third album in three years. It features guest stars including Ed Sheeran, Q-Tip and late rapper Juice WRLD, who died aged 21 in December.

I’m sorry but I know these young kids are impressed by how fast Em can rap but doesn’t matter to me.  Em has pretty much done all he can do, it’s a miracle he pulled off MMLP2 so late in his career and cuts like “guts over fear” but now he’s gained a new generation of fans cause I think they are awed by his skill I guess... but maybe it’s hard for older fans to be awed cause he’s done everything he can do in the game

Starts off well but ended up being another Revival. I didn’t like the Kamikazee album either, btw

No way it’s better than MMLP2.  Not as good as Recovery.  And belongs among the worst or second to worst of career.  I forced myself to listen to Lost Tapes 2 in denial for a week I’m not forcing this one... I gave it one serious listen and it’s already out of my rotation.

Your only hurting yourself with that stubbornness. It’s actually a quality album. When did he ever make a track like Stepdad on Recovery? It sounds like a track right off SSLP. Don’t listen to it if you don’t want to....maybe you’re meant to appreciate in 20 years like all the 90s albums lol

i thought u said lost tapes 2 was a classic tho

that’s a pretty big jump, from being classic to now sucking

i almost agree all that you wrote, except Kamikaze. it was a good one. ringer, lucky you, stepping stone,
venom were jointz for old fans.

mmlp2 was also an album which satisfied both old and new fans.

but music to be murdered by sounds like another revival.

and dre is not able to push artist to next level. he even does opposite, he pulls the potential down... thats what happened on Oxnard with Paak. thats why he wanted to relase another album so quick and didnt let dre involved in it. yeah i mean Ventura. Kendrick also doesnt let Dre to pull him down. everybody is waiting for a Kendrick album produced by Dr. Dre but it would be a big disapointment and kendrick knows it, smart boy.

dem jointz and focus might be good musicians and geniuses but their and dre's chemistry didnt fit each other.

this is misinformation

oxnard and ventura were planned like that ahead of time

oxnard was to be the rap album and ventura the soul album

because paak is not a natural rapper, oxnard didn’t come out as good (tho it was not a bad project)

but it had absolutely nothin to do with dres production and everything to do wit paak bein naturally more of a singer than a rapper

Really?  You’re holding up “Stepdad” as a great track?  A rapper pushing 50 whining about his “stepdad” and “you put your dick in my mom”.  Isn’t Em a little old for that?  And hey, I’m not policing em’s music if the track was dope and had heart I’d still bump it like I did similar narratives like “Revelations” on D12 first album or “Sing For the Moment” on Eminem show but “Stepdad” hardly compares.

As for me discovering the greatness of this album 20 years from now you are forgetting one thing—I’ve always been ahead of the curve when it came to Em, not behind.  I was supporting Em summer of 98’ when all I knew was he was a white rapper from Detroit who signed with Dre—and I was bumpin “Just Don’t Give A Fuck” on repeat months before “My Name Is” ever came out and I met Eminem at a small arena concert way back in Spring 99’ when I had to go to the concert by myself cause all my friends thought he was gonna be a one hit wonder Vanilla Ice.

And it’s also not just a case of me being tied to his 99-2002 prime—because I loved and supported MMLP2 and consider “Guts Over Fear” to be one of his greatest tracks ever.

Could I be wrong? Yes.  Because apparently a lot of headz are still givin props to Kamikaze and after all I am — Infinite Trapped in 1996 — which means I am admittedly stuck in the past so fucc it, it is what it iz... but I ain’t the one havin’ orgasms at U-2 concerts or abandoning hiphop for periods of my life to go fishing and listen to Dave Mathews Band with frat boys

If dre was involved in venture, it was going to fail somehow. Without dre, paak is able to put his potential on ventura. Paak knew it. Kendrick knows it.

I’m sorry but I know these young kids are impressed by how fast Em can rap but doesn’t matter to me.  Em has pretty much done all he can do, it’s a miracle he pulled off MMLP2 so late in his career and cuts like “guts over fear” but now he’s gained a new generation of fans cause I think they are awed by his skill I guess... but maybe it’s hard for older fans to be awed cause he’s done everything he can do in the game

Starts off well but ended up being another Revival. I didn’t like the Kamikazee album either, btw

i almost agree all that you wrote, except Kamikaze. it was a good one. ringer, lucky you, stepping stone,
venom were jointz for old fans.

mmlp2 was also an album which satisfied both old and new fans.

but music to be murdered by sounds like another revival.

and dre is not able to push artist to next level. he even does opposite, he pulls the potential down... thats what happened on Oxnard with Paak. thats why he wanted to relase another album so quick and didnt let dre involved in it. yeah i mean Ventura. Kendrick also doesnt let Dre to pull him down. everybody is waiting for a Kendrick album produced by Dr. Dre but it would be a big disapointment and kendrick knows it, smart boy.

dem jointz and focus might be good musicians and geniuses but their and dre's chemistry didnt fit each other.

this is misinformation

oxnard and ventura were planned like that ahead of time

oxnard was to be the rap album and ventura the soul album

because paak is not a natural rapper, oxnard didn’t come out as good (tho it was not a bad project)

but it had absolutely nothin to do with dres production and everything to do wit paak bein naturally more of a singer than a rapper

Paak said that he told dre he wants to executive produce his next album with his own way and dre answered "ok you are ready to fly on your own wings lets see what you can do".

you literally have no idea what u talkin bout

it was planned like that from the beginning .. one rap album by dre and one soul album by paak

Just looking at the production credits and theme of the album I'm getting a more mature 'Relapse' vibe from this project before actually delving in and listening to it fully (wasn't Dewaun Parker heavily involved in producing Relapse alongside Dr. Dre?).  However, some of the features give me the impression that the album could be a continuation of Revival in sound as well as the hardness of Kamikaze.

I can't wait to hear.

you can hear Dre's touch on Ventura in a less obvious way, it's a great album and agree much better than Oxnard side for a few joints (ie Tints, Cheers).

this new Eminem i'm not feeling but that's hardly surprising. some interesting ideas on the production and it's great to hear D. Park back in the mix as that guy is truly talented. more of him would have elevated this project for sure.

Music To Be Murdered By track by track review: Eminem takes fans on controversial rap rollercoaster

Eminem surprised fans by dropping a surprise album on us all, as well as new single Unaccommodating. And, as usual, his new releases came with a whole heap of controversy, as the first single from Music To Be Murdered By referenced the Manchester terror attack, leaving listeners reeling. But can we expect the same level of controversy from the other 19 tracks? Here’s a quick look at Slim Shady’s latest offering.

1. Premonition (Intro) Evidently still seething from the bad reviews he received for his 2018 album Revival, Em has a lot to say to his critics on the opener to his new album. Setting Slim Shady free after digging him up out of his grave, the rapper’s crazed alter ego goes HAM on the world attacking the jugulars of his haters over a sea of haunting synths etched into the beat. The only thing missing? A sample of Adrian in Rocky telling her husband, ‘You can’t win!’ Quotable: ‘Only way that you’re ahead of me’s alphabetically/ ‘Cause if you diss me I’m coming after you like the letter V.’

2. Unaccommodating
Feat. Young M.A. Many are in uproar about Em’s controversial lyrics relating to Ariana Grande and the Manchester Arena attack, but would you expect anything else from the guy who poked fun at Columbine High School massacre, the death of Gianni Versace and who fantasised about killing his wife? Getting his lyrical guns off over a beat he produced alongside Tim Suby, Em sounds sharper than he has for quite some time. He even takes a moment to forgive Machine Gun Kelly for their public spat. Quotable: ‘But when they ask me is the war finished with MGK? Of course it is/ I cleansed him of his mortal sins, I’m God and the Lord forgives, even the devil worshippers.’

3. You Gon’ Learn Feat. Royce Da 5’9” & White Gold A lesson in resilience, Em is joined by frequent rhyme partner, Royce Da 5’9”, who, aside from being one of only a handful of people on wax who can keep up with the Detroit MC, also produced the record. As Em puffs his chest out and channels his inner superhero – even if he doesn’t have it completely together (‘I just tripped over my cape’) – he lets off a few shots that could be aimed in the direction of Tee Grizzly (who dissed Eminem on his track No Talkin) and Nick Cannon, someone he’s had a longstanding feud with. Quotable: ‘I am too volatile and too grizzly to bear/ Yeah, s**t is gettin’ to where I can barely even sit in a chair/ I bust my ass for this s**t and I swear/ It ain’t even worth dissing someone so offbeat/ That they can’t even figure out where their words/ Should hit the kick and the snare.’ It’s your funeral…

4. Alfred (Interlude) Music to Be Murdered By is inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s album of the same name. Here, Em samples the famous filmmaker’s voice to set the mood for the rest of the violently eerie album.

5. Those Kinda Nights Feat. Ed Sheeran & Bizarre Ed Sheeran joins Eminem for a drug and alcohol-fuelled zany night out on the town. Undeniably catchy, when you pair the comedic storytelling with the song’s obvious commercial potential you’d not be laughed at for thinking it was a D12 record, especially after the group’s main jokester, Bizarre makes a cameo on the intro. Quotable: ‘Drivin’ around, I said, ‘Let’s pull over,’ she said, ‘No problemo/ Windows are dark tint, roll up the car windows’/ Monte Carlo in park, bumpin’ Bizarre’s demo/ Gettin’ head in the bucket, Marshmello.’

6. In Too Deep Like a rap version of Usher’s One Day You’ll Be Mine, Em slows things down as he dives deep into infidelity, the confusion of being in love with two women and how uncomfortable relationships can sometimes become. As the grass looks greener on the other side, Em recognises his singing voice and delivers an unexpectedly strong hook as his and Tim Suby’s low-tempo drum-driven backdrop scores the pain. Quotable: ‘But it’s been a couple years since we been doin’ dirt/ You or my girl, don’t wanna see either of you get hurt/ But now the lines are getting super blurred/ Can’t tell if I’m cheating on her with you or cheating on you with her.’

7. Godzilla Feat. Juice WRLD Featuring Juice WRLD’s first posthumous verse since his death back in December, the pair get wild and witty on what could so easily be pitched as a sequel to Kanye West’s 2010 hit, Monster. The beat sounds like it was made using the demonstration button on a Casio keyboard, but there’s no need to focus on the instrumental once Em goes full-on Rap God spitting at light speed and taking listeners off into another dimension. Stick with it until the end and you’ll hear comedian Chris ‘d elia gets a look in. Quotable: ‘I’m just a product of Slick Rick and Onyx, told ’em lick the balls/ Had ’em just appalled at so many things that p****d ’em off/ It’s impossible to list ’em all/ And in the midst of all this/ I’m in a mental hospital with a crystal ball/ Tryna see, will I still be like this tomorrow?’

8. Darkness Hard-hitting from the very first few lines, Eminem takes on the perspective of Las Vegas festival shooter, Stephen Paddock. While it could also be a metaphor for his own anxiety issues, Em’s poignant lyrics are more about shining a light on America’s ongoing gun problems than anything else. Not always the bad guy, as some might think, Em brings awareness to an issue long debated in courts all over the United States while Royce Da 5’ 9” flips Simon & Garfunkel’s The Sounds of Silence for the backdrop. Quotable: ‘But it’s only the opening act, it’s early, don’t overreact/ Then something told me relax/ And just hope for the show to be packed/ Don’t wanna hit the stage before they fill each row to the max/ ‘Cause that’d be totally wack/ You can’t murder a show nobody’s at.’

9. Leaving Heaven Feat Skylar Grey Not the strongest track on the album, it does however have a stadium feel to it which might help with its shelf life – thanks mostly to Skylar Grey’s soaring vocals on the chorus. Acting more like a therapy for Em as he takes shots at his deceased father, he also revisits his run-ins with high school bully Di Angelo Bailey over a clunky backdrop that sounds like it could come to a raging halt at any moment, making it a tough listen for fans. Quotable: ‘Five dozen, flies buzzin’ over your head/ Call me the Grim Reaper, sleep is my cousin/ You’re dead to me now and I’ma be the last face you see/ ‘Fore you die cussin’ (Yep).

10. Yah Yah Feat. Royce Da 5’9”, Black Thought, Q-Tip & Denaun Porter Em takes it back to the 90s this time around. Assembling an Avengers-type posse, he recruits some of the best spitters in the game to attack the neck-snapping beat. As each MC goes bar for bar, this is one of those moments where the rewind button comes in handy in order to assess who had the best verse. Verdict? Black Thought won by a landslide. An alien on the mic, he deserves all the props he can get for what he did to this one. It’s a shame that Busta Rhymes didn’t get a call being Denaun flipped his 1996 Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check for the instrumental. Quotable: ‘Live at the edge of darkness and light/ One phone call, my youngins takin’ flight/ You a bark b***h, and never bite, long kiss goodnight/ I stay heated, my people in the place needed/ If you ain’t standin’ up for yourself, then stay seated.’

11. Step Dad (Intro) Acting as a break between the first and second half of the album, listeners are subject to a child (presumably a young Eminem) being beaten by their stepdad. It also acts as an introduction for the next track.

12. Step Dad Em has never been one to hold back when addressing his family life, although he and his mother appear to have called a truce as of late, so it’s no surprise to hear him on an Alchemist beat offloading a ton of anger and resentment aimed at his stepfather. Once again sounding like a dose of therapy, it’s hard to tell which accounts are fact and which are fiction being that Em obviously has a fantasy about killing his stepfather. No doubt this, like much of his early work, will speak to those kids who are experiencing issues with their own step-parents. Quotable: ‘I’m talkin’ euthanasia, like kids in Taiwan/ This f****n’ s**t’s like Saigon (Saigon)/ Neighbours called police on him/ So many battery charges, this dude’s like lithium ion.’

13. Marsh Adopting the alter ego of an otherworldly being, this extraterrestrial rapid-fire banger hears Em take a leaf out of Lil Wayne’s book, the self-proclaimed E.T.. While it’s nothing too special sonically, it does hear Em have a swipe at Travis Scott on the hook mimicking his ‘It’s lit’ catchphrase as a layer of autotune is added to his voice. He also takes time to salute some legends: ‘I’m a stan of Redman, X-Clan and I’m a Treach fan”. Quotable: ‘Puddles are forming, I hear somebody’s voice/ In my head, say it’s still a dream/ Then he said kill emcees/ Trippie Redd, with pills and lean/ Sipping meds in the limousine/ Getting head, guillotine.’

14. Never Love Again Probably one of the album’s main highlights, this clever take on Common’s I Used To Love H.E.R. hears Em, over an oddly soothing slice of Dr Dre-led production, switch his love interest metaphor from Hip Hop to drugs. But he’s fighting to get rid of her, he can’t do it anymore. Having now been sober for 11 years, he doesn’t want to love the thing that was once killing him. Could it also be about ex-wife Kim or another potential love interest? Sure, it could be that too, but it’s made apparent at the end that the main focal point are the drugs when he flushes them down the toilet. Quotable: ‘I can only take so much of you all at one time/ Because too much of you’s just too much to swallow sometimes/ Gotta take you in doses, but when you’re not at my side/ I shake in convulsions, separation anxiety ’cause we may be the closest.’

15. Little Engine Opening with another Alfred Hitchcock sample, this is one of the more twisted records on the album. Jam-packed with shock and awe moments, listeners are invited into the dark side of Em’s brain. As he maneuvers his way through the contorted wails of the beat, one minute he’s heard talking to who he thinks is God, the next he’s referencing the Manson murders and the murder of Sharon Tate. You might need to take a motion sickness pill before listening to this one. Quotable: ‘Much as I fight to restrain/ I have the right to remain violent/ Any rhyme that I say can and will be used against you/ Icicle veins, mics will get slain/ Life it will strangle you with bicycle chain/ You’re gonna have to come identify the remains.’ Fans have been divided by the album so far

16. Lock It Up Feat. Anderson .Paak Truth be told this sounds like a record made for Anderson .Paak’s album and Em decided to highjack it. Walking with a newfound swag, Em’s self-confidence is at an all-time high as he feels he’s better than the rest of the competition. As he steps close to the edge of obscurity he’s reminded of why he raps and swiftly regains his footing, and as quickly as the stumble turns into a walk, the walk turns into a strut and you get exactly what you hope for from an Eminem record produced by Dr. Dre featuring Anderson .Paak. Quotable: ‘And I put the game on the pill (Yeah)/ Now my Shady babies are all stillborns/ Meaning abortions that live ’cause they were still born/ I can heal ’em with Neosporin.’

17. Farewell A car wreck from the moment it first comes on, whoever told Eminem it would be a good idea for him to sample Serani’s No Games needs to be shown the door. Throwing the album off by going so far left that ends up sounding like it was cut for Revival, the title couldn’t be more fitting if it tried. Goodbye! Quotable: ‘Yeah, but we’re so insane about each other/ May take the same route and way out as Junior Seau/ Break out Berettas lay down in bed and blow our brains out together/ Who knows how it’s gonna play out?’

18. No Regrets Feat. Don Toliver Arguably the most retrospective moment on the album, Em admits that his ego sometimes gets the better of him, especially when it comes to beefing with other rappers. Addressing past feuds with Tyler the Creator, Machine Gun Kelly and Nick Cannon, as well as his own upbringing and the things that make him who he is, Em sits comfortably in pocket as the guitar riff gently kisses the D.A. Doman beat and Don Toliver delivers an affecting hook. Quotable: ‘They talk about my daughters hopin’ I fly off of the handle/ ‘Cause my first thought is to trample and write a thousand bars/ But sometimes it’s like dropping’ an anvil on a house of cards.’

19. I Will Feat. Royce Da 5’9”, KXNG Crooked & Joell Ortiz An explosive lesson in lyricism, Slaughterhouse – minus Joe Budden who Em famously had beef with – join the rapper for an all-out lyrical assault that demands you use that rewind button once more. Whether it’s Royce, KXNG Crooked, Joell Ortiz or Em, each of them go for the gut with their sharp tongues and powerful wit. Em has a dig at Lord Jamar (‘I’m more than you bargained for and I am far more worse/ Than a fourty-some bar Lord Jamar verse’) while Royce cleverly highlights how long he’s been studying Hip Hop (‘Student of the game pre-Kane, you n***** Post Malone’). Quotable: ‘Word to Method Man/ She heard some Wu-Tang coming from towards the patio/ She was like, ‘What the heck was that?’/ She went to check on the noise and go inspect the deck/ Then I jumped out with a sword and yelled, “Protect your neck”).’

20. Alfred (Outro) Sampling Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Hour of Parting’, this creepy outro ties up the album, telling listeners: ‘If you haven’t been murdered, I can only say/ Better luck next time.

It's a decent album after listening to it a couple of times.  It's almost like a compilation album of tracks that could have appeared on all of Eminem's previous albums.
Not as concise as Kamikaze, and probably could have done with dropping a few weaker tracks from the tracklist, but overall another good effort from Eminem.

Horrible video... only good thing about this is Mike Tyson and Dre in it... puking for shock value means you have ran out of ideas...

Reminds me of Xzibits “What U See Is What’s U Get” except that video was actually a good one for a good song and this is a horrible video for a below average song

That is a very good question. Maybe the introtune (same as murder them murderers from 2006) is part 1 and the actual beat is part 2. But then Niki grier is credited on part 1 and she is singing on the actual beat.

The beat has some changes, but they are repeated a few times. So I see no clear part 1 and 2.

It sounds more like Dre and Mark Batson etc provided the piano loop (from the 2006 beat) which you can hear softly in the background and Eminem and Luis Restondid the drums and other arrangements.

Still sick beat.

good catch bro' Niki credited for part 1 only and she sings on the actual beat...

main loop of the beat is a remake of the same melody from Kam's song (murder dem murderers).

Really no clear.

But its dope song. I loved the beat and rap.
