    Eminem is the best and always he will best for his fans, no matter how much his album earn and what position his album gets in by rating...you Kayne and Drake fans think you can beat stans by rating low with multiple accounts, that's what you learn from your idols but we are stans our idol is Rap god him self and he never told a us to cheat. Peace..

    This is Em’s 4th classic. The production is infectious and the rhymes are the best of his career. So much to unpack here. Darkness is by far top 5 written song of Eminem’s career.

    Everything I hope for in an Eminem album, and then some! There are a couple tracks I don't like as much, but I still don't change the song if my player is set to shuffle and one of them comes on, either. I listened to Darkness before I knew it had an accompanying video, and holy **** I was not expecting a gut punched right in the feel's like that.

    Eminem is literally doing lyrical acrobatic rhymes in the entire album! Love the beats, he seems to be having fun with new producers and beats. Eminem is evolving ! I do not get the hate on Em, it’s as if hating on Em is the popular thing now a days. Amazing album in a good direction!

    He clearly cares about his output, but “Music To Be Murdered By” is, unfortunately, another mixed bag of tricks, propped up by lyrical acrobatics and underwhelming production.

    If they look hard enough, any artist could find criticism of their work online. That’s sort of the curse of the Information Age. But not everyone overreacts quite as much as Eminem does. But if his fears grow tiring, his lyrical ability can still give you something to admire, even if the album is somewhat uneven.

    It is not, strictly speaking, a good record—Eminem hasn’t made one of those in a decade—but it boasts enough technical command and generates just enough arresting ideas to hold your attention.
