It's a solid 7. Aside from KND, nothing really blew me away, but nothing really disappointed me either.
Raw was probably the biggest letdown and that's because Eminem just straight up wasted an opportunity.

Right now, everyone rides on Kendrick... That's it. Kendrick
says "She eyeing me like a [...] don't exist, girl I know you want
this d-ck" and it's an amazing line according to social media. Em
says "I'm the butt police and I'm looking at your REAR, REAR,
REAR!" and the 'hip hop heads' say he fell off and how it was
such a terrible line. Kendrick works with Taylor Swift, a country
singer transitioning to pop, and it's known to be such a great
duo. Em works with Rihanna, an R&B singer known to work with
hip-hop artists like Jay and Yeezy, and he's known to be a
washed up poppy sellout by, once again, the annoying social
media.
Kendrick makes an album about the struggles that black people
have to go through every day and the hardships they've
overcame, something he hasn't personally gone through but
rather the previous generations as well as the masses today,
then brings out the hip-hop legend who has gone through those
challenges (Tupac) at the end of his album and it has an
immense amount of respect. Em's last two albums had him
speak about overcoming a drug addiction that nearly killed him;
shared how losing his best friend crushed him; talked about how
he truly feels about his high-school sweetheart / love of his life;
created a sequel to Stan and linked the story with his real life
and the dilemmas and battles with his inner conscience he
always has to deal with; closed the chapter and made an
endeavor to heal the damaged relationship between himself and
his mother. What is the mass reception from the hip-hop fans?
"He needs dre to produce his beats lulz dey suk" "why he always
yelling nao" "he need 2 go bak on drugz n den rap" "y he workin
wid nate reuss n rihanna tf".
It truly is a tragedy because he has memory loss due to the
aftermath of his long battle with drug addiction and he's
forgotten his work ethic before his hiatus and how he achieved
those accolades. Imagine if you did something you love doing a
lot and became really famous due to the tremendous work ethic
you implement into that thing, then you lose your memory about
all of that and you remember you love that thing so much but
you have to relearn how to do it again and people give you
respect for the person you don't remember being rather than the
person you are now. The only way people would give you that
same respect is if you started doing the thing you love by going
back to what nearly killed you and made you lose your memory.
People assume if Em rapped in the same style for 15-16 years,
they'd admire it greatly. What they don't realize is his age /
maturity and how that correlates to his older material. I'm a high
school graduate (not gonna say the year) and I said a lot of s---
I regret in my early teens. For example, I had a huge problem
with swearing and I couldn't form a sentence without one cuss
word. Surprisingly, that was when I listened to Drake a lot and
that stopped when I started listening to Em again. Anyway, just
reading old conversations I had makes me cringe very much.
Like, I'd take my personal problems up to social media and
show such childish angst towards the matter, calling so-and-so
"a motherfucking stupid gay ugly a--- cocksucking fa---- prick
a--- b----". If someone ever told me to get angry like that again,
I'd say "no" in a heartbeat. So, I can kinda get the gist of the
dilemma Em is faced with . . . Whether to rap more maturely or
go back to his roots. I just hope one day people will stop
comparing him to his older stuff and treat him like a new artist
that came into this game in 2009, albeit whilst acknowledging
and respecting his accolades he reached throughout his whole
career in the back of their heads.

Rated it a 5 because, I only listened to the Bad meets Evil tracks and Em solo. Slaughterhouse RNS.. finished it once and never played it again.
