Description
2020, 2×12″ LP, Interscope/Aftermath Entertainment. ‘Black Ice’ colored vinyl.
Whether you appreciate the man himself, or even his music, there is no denying that Eminem’s enduring ability to lay down the tightest wordplay and most cutting bars is second to none, even decades after he first shocked the world. His eleventh studio album – realised digitally back in January – shows off more of his technical skills and explores plenty of interesting ideas. The mood, as if often the case with this nasal rapper from Detroit, is defiant, and takes aim at critics as well as making superb use of a hook from Q-Tip, collaborating with 27-year-old Young M.A and plenty more besides. – Juno
