Eminem dropped a surprise new album, and the internet can’t deal

Eminem dropped his latest surprise album at midnight and it has sent the internet into a frenzy.

Titled Kamikaze, the 13 track album is very much a long, angry rant about various social and political issues, particularly in the rap industry. It also directly calls out a significant number of popular rappers, including Drake.

“…if you ain’t Joyner/If you ain’t Kendrick or Cole/Or Sean then you’re a goner”, says the rapper in the first track on the album, “The Ringer”.

Eminem announced Kamikaze’s release on his Twitter account, saying, “Tried not 2 overthink this 1… enjoy.”

The album started trending on Twitter across South Africa and globally within an hour as fans went wild, completely caught by surprise.

Let’s be honest , after listening to #Eminem #KAMIKAZE . The only person capable of out rapping #Eminem is #Eminem himself. Argue with your ancestors.

I feel like #Eminem has been feeling like someone needed to just fucking school EVERYONE, and nobody was doing it, so he was like, cool. Guess it’s up to me.
