    What did you think of the rollout, imo this was the worst one I've seen from any artist.

    I'm trying hard to like it. But get so bored from river until second verse of framed. Then 3rd verse of framed to castle.

    22 minute mark. It's an episode from yesterday. He went in on shady records and he confirmed in short what I thought even way before he said it in this episode. This album was a pure marketing ploy based on the situation in america. It's a half finished product used to sell records with an Eminem stamp on it.

    yeah, lets take heat for example, its hard for me to defend it, but i love it...it sounds VERRRRY different than eminem regular song, and it shocked me at first, but im telling you, we will come to love it years from now cuz of how different it sounds

    I think the best rap album is the one with the 14 tracks carried out over wax

    I'm not saying that I agree or that I don't, we"ll have to see how it ages. But calling Castle/Arose a better concept than Stan is big

    yo Koolo i like you but this album is f---ing garbage. this is the most messy rap album ive heard in years, his lyrics are cringe as f--- alot of the times, his word play is terrible here, the flow is just off

    i would say production was good but honestly it just wasn't outside like 3 tracks

    the songwriting here is just not there and almost every hook Eminem does on here by himself is garbage (except for the hook on Framed which i found entertaining)

    honestly outside Walk On Water, the on song i can see myself coming back to is Framed

    f---ing 1/10 album i cant even

    i dont know why he insist on making long albums, he is the only one that does it, an album with 13 songs woulda been amazing
