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.

"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.

“Star Trek” cast members, producers and writers from all of the franchise’s series and movies have endorsed a new Facebook group called Trek Against Trump.

“Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump,” the group said in a statement on its Facebook page.

Will and Grace

In a recent video, the cast of the NBC sitcom reprise their characters to weigh in on the 2016 presidential election.

Will and Grace, of course, are voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, while Karen is committed to her close personal friend, Donald Trump. She helped him pick out Melania and everything.

"She's going to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will ensure your civil rights," said Grace.

Joss Whedon

The director launched the "Save The Day" campaign with a star-studded ad that encourages people to go out and vote. In conjunction, he released a star-studded video titled "Important" and although it doesn't mention either candidate by name, it does reference "a man whose signature move is firing someone," as well as describing one of the candidates as "a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society."

Tom Morello

The Prophets of Rage guitarist teamed with Ryan Harvey and Ani DiFranco to record "Old Man Trump."

The song was originally an unfinished Woody Guthrie protest piece intended for his landlord who happened to be Fred Trump, Donald's father.

Harvey told the Guardian: “You’ve got Donald Trump talking about making America great again ... and so here’s Woody Guthrie, one of the definers of American history, coming out after his death and saying ‘No, it wasn’t a great era and in fact your father was part of the problem.’”

Eminem

Eminem is known for not holding back when it comes to diss tracks, but this time he let it all out in a track titled "Campaign Speech" -- eight minutes of anti-Trump freestyle, among other topics like Trayvon Martin and Colin Kaepernick.

"A f---ing loose cannon, who's blunt with his hand on the button who doesn't have to answer to no one," raps Eminem. "Great idea."
