Eminem Drops Surprise Album ‘Kamikaze’ and Fans Can’t Handle It (Audio)

This is not a drill: Eminem dropped a surprise album overnight and fans can’t handle the news — or the lyrics on “Kamikaze.” Imagine how the emcees Slim Shady calls out across 13 tracks must feel about this angry response to the unfavorable reception of Marshall Mathers’ previous release “Revival”?

Pretty much no one is safe on this one — and that danger zone extends beyond his fellow rappers and all the way to Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump, among plenty of other on-wax victims.

Below are some of the choice Twitter reactions to “Kamikaze” (that are clean enough for us to share). The album is currently for sale on iTunes for $9.99.

Our readers can listen to Track No. 3, “Lucky You” (feat. Joyner Lucas) by clicking “Play” above. We’ve got another new song for you at the bottom of this post.

Nobody wants to come at Eminem cause it’s the rap equivalent of euthanizing a dog you grew up with

"All I know is I wrote every single word of everything I ever murdered
Time to separate the sheep from goats
And I got no faith in your writers, I don't believe in ghosts."

Thank you Eminem.

Yes, that cover art is an homage to fellow white rapper the Beastie Boys’ 1986 release, “Licensed to Ill.” See that one here:
