LISTEN: Eminem Takes On Trump & Harvey Weinstein In New Album ‘Kamikaze’

A post shared by Marshall Mathers (@eminem) on

Eminem just dropped a surprise album called Kamikaze, teasing the release on Twitter by flicking off the camera and writing, “Tried not 2 overthink this 1… enjoy.” It’s his second full-length album in eight months. The 10th in his whole career.

Kamikaze has 13 tracks — including the song “Venom,” written for the upcoming Tom Hardy-led supervillain movie of the same name. Interpolations include Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble,” and L.L. Cool J’s “I’m Bad,” among others.

The first track, “The Ringer,” sets the tone with lyrics like, “I feel like I wanna punch the world in the f—ing face right now.” Then goes after Trump with lyrics like, “I empathize with the people this evil serpent sold the dream to that he’s deserted.”

There are also shots at Vice President Mike Pence, Harvey Weinstein, Machine Gun Kelly, Joe Budden, Tyler, the Creator, and young rappers like Lil Pump, Lil Xan and Lil Yachty, whom Eminem slams by asking, “Do you have any idea how much I hate this choppy flow everyone copies?”

He also goes deep with “Stepping Stone,” the LP’s most autobiographical track, as he reflects on his personal demons — including the death of his former D12 bandmate Proof: “Imma wash away my sins / Imma rinse away this dirt,” he sings. “I forgot to make amends / To all the friends I may have hurt.”
