![]() ![]() My one-listen hot take is that Kamikaze is way more in line with what I expected after that BET freestyle, rather than Revival. Admittedly, that’s sort of what I’m doing here, with this very post. Part of Eminem’s beef with how Revival was received is that, in his view, critics seemed to just give the album a cursory listen before reviewing it. This (unintentional) crash landing is the origin story behind Kamikaze. What arrived instead, though, was Revival, an album that earned him some of the worst reviews of his entire career. After turning in his best performance in 15 years, expectations were sky-high for the album that followed a couple months later. To recap, the former Slim Shady captured the world’s attention last fall with an explosive anti-Trump freestyle on BET. By that point in the album, more than two-thirds in, you will be intimately familiar with how 2017 played out for Eminem. “Last year didn’t work out so well for me,” the rapper says at the top of the title track.
