For a large majority of 2017, all eyes have been on Eminem.
The Detroit rapper, who is gearing up to break his four-year hiatus in between albums this Friday (Dec. 15), has been expertly rolling out his highly anticipated ninth studio project, Revival. Unfortunately, there has been a bit of a change in plans, with the album leaking online two days before its long-awaited release.
While fans have been speculative since learning of the album’s curious track listing, one that is relatively heavy on the R&B and pop-leaning collaborations, reactions to the leaked material are just as torn.
Regardless of whether or not you were hoping for a double album—a theory that since has been debunked by Slaughterhouse’s KXNG Crooked—or you are totally hype over Beyoncé’s involvement with the veteran rapper, it’s clear that Em’s Revival has got everyone talking. Not only that, but that there are a lot of unrealistic expectations thrown in the mix as well.
Now that the music has arrived, with some Eminem stans waiting for the official release date to digest their first listens, the season for passionate commentary has officially opened, with fans taking to Twitter to discuss the 45-year-old’s latest material. May the debates begin.
