Eminem

that's so weird

i expect there will be some people who would ordinarily never bother checking out an eminem album in 2017, myself included, who will at least give the album a cursory listen/stream just to see if he delves further in the direction hinted by this promo appearance. not to say that that would necessarily push the needle significantly, but merely to point out that commercial risk was far from not the only possibility to consider when weighing the decision to do this. given the proximity to his forthcoming album release (it's likely coming out in about a month) i would guess that his label felt the ~buzz~ would be beneficial.

i don't expect a large sales decline whatsoever.

*far from the only possibility

White rural America still buy physical albums.

Lol

his cutesy sing-rap collabo w/ fellow white sing-rapper (and incidental trump supporter) p!nk is out today via the latter's album release. it's misogynistic but ~cute~ about it this time so white liberals will look the other way as usual

this already feels like twice the punchline it was on arrival

his cutesy sing-rap collabo w/ fellow white sing-rapper (and incidental trump supporter)

she's.... not http://www.vulture.com/2017/10/pink-on-lashing-out-at-trump-dr-luke-and-her-new-album.html

lol

I was thinking "P!nk, Trump Supporter" sounded very Bizarro-world but then again Donald Trump is actually our President so right now any stupid thing is possible

i'm kinda kidding about the trump supporter part. just like she's probably kidding about "So I’m going for a rap Grammy, and I’d like to take you along with me."

(i would die laughing if they actually got nominated for said grammy)

What is "kinda kidding"?

idk i thought i saw some magazine scan where she says something like "we elected him and that's gotta mean something" but i can't find it now so i was probably just trolled

I assume Eminem is a Trump supporter because I keep seeing all these headlines that contains the words "Trump" and "Eminem"

same

after 27 years of doubts about rap I am now a fan. https://t.co/vJXhqzUkp8

New Eminem single feat. Beyonce, "Walk On Water":

https://open.spotify.com/album/2Omgx7vrxKAy0LmCYllHCk

An actual couplet from the song:

So I scrap these
As pressure increases like khakis

Our boy has finally gone full Macklemore, y'all.

this is the most ridiculous song

"So I scrap these
As pressure increases like khakis"

Eminem feat. Eric Clapton - "Dockers Boner"

what does "as pressure increases like khakis" mean?

good lord this song is awful

poop tried to warn us

what does "as pressure increases like khakis" mean?

see post above

I wish he'd dropped in a sample of "Too Close" at that line

haha this is so bad

in before the inevitable whiney stanning

never liked Em anyway, couldn't make it passed the halfway point on this one.

such a bizarre release. preemptively noting in the verses that it might(/will) get completely eviscerated doesn't mean it's any less deserving of such. it just... doesn't really go anywhere and is already pretty well-trodden territory for him thematically. a meandering mess.

beyoncé was an appropriate choice for the chorus given the untouchable persona she embodies in her media image. but unlike her own recent work that provides just enough of a glimpse to feel personal and soul-bearing, on this she still seems very much behind the barrier, and the simplistic tune doesn't give her voice enough room to redeem it. (on that note: the industry needs to acknowledge that it is no longer 2011 and no one wants rap music packaged with skylar grey choruses. they literally are currently trying, and failing, to make that happen with macklemore too.)

that khakis line is absolutely horrendous oh my god

what are keith olbermann's thoughts

the going theory is that the pun is

"pressure increases [in creases] like khakis"

instead of a boner joke

should have gone with the boner joke IMO

we're still using the word "retarded" as an adjective i see
"there was a time i had the world by the balls, eating out of my palm" is an interesting choice of mixed metaphors
this poor guy's breath control is shot huh
"Bitch I wrote Stan"?
this is bad

"Bitch I wrote Stan"?

lmao

Goddamn, Eminem is 45? He old.

This is beyond terrible

I've never been into slam poetry, or even heard any of it properly, but Em's new delivery sounds like my mind's conception of what it would sound like.

haha otm

lol

woof

lol still going with skylar grey huh.

lol @ bad husband featuring x ambassadors

Genuinely looking forward to hearing that Sheeran collabo once and only once

He needs to be stopped

new song is dreadful, not even going to link it

very surprised to see that Stan is apparently not among his 10 most popular songs on neither Spotify or Youtube - wtf?? actually 50% or more of his top hits seem to be off albums after Eminem Show which is iirc clearly where he fell off
