Solid album but I predict at least 3-5 more projects dropping that will be up to par
Name them, so I can check for em...
Of course not.
The talk in here is insulting. Em's actual record is the undisputed album of the year. I notice the reaction in here are not even discussing the fact that on one of the songs on this album, he apologized to his mother in a sincere heartfelt record.
Just like my Street King Immortal, it has elements in it that reflect deeper storytelling. Em is conscious of the music he makes and I think he would no better than to go by what members on a hip hop forum believe.
The opinion of the general public is what truly matters. Already the actual release is getting rave reviews in various outlets and contractually Jimmy is currently working on extending Em's Interscope contract deal.
Couldn't make it any further than this, sorry.
I'm guessing by general public you mean people who are/aren't avid Hip-Hop fans. The typical Eminem/Nelly/Wayne/Drake album purchasers, consisting of white teens, suburbanites, and the top 40 crowd. Not that it makes their opinion on Hip-Hop comparisons invalid, but it's definitely something to
about. Not only did Pusha's album get exactly what you're mentioning in various outlets, but he didn't have the "popular rapper, platinum albums before, being white = easily getting white fans to buy millions of albums" angle working for him, and still got various rave reviews for AOTY. Agree to disagree though. I hear you, fam.
