I don't get why people complain about revival he's been in the hip hop world for so long. He wants to do different things and be his self, respect that.

[@javierflores1075]

True^

It's fine for him to do something different, but it just doesn't sound good. That's the issue we have.

This album was not what I expected, was disappointed at first but I get it now, I love it. So much fantastic wordplay, flows, concepts. They ain't ready for this!

Liked revival alot, favorites: Castle Arose Framed Believe Offended Tragic Endings River Untochable Big Em fan, dont really care about for pop mixes if it sounds good. Which what music should be, be looking forward to dre and em to be together again

Branden Newman Hip Hop has always been samples for Em, even with 'My Name Is' and 'The Real Slim Shady' etc... Stan's a sample, Sing For The Moment etc... Eminem has always been about samples.

[@stevielovesdrugs7575]

No matter what eminem puts out people just gonna say it's wack if you listen to today's rappers you can't judge real hip hop .

[@joycecat2263]

4 years ago and it's only gotten worse

[@spiridonrobert16]

​@@joycecat2263nah,kamikaze and mtbmb are good albums ,but if you re talking about hip hop you are right

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

Both Walk On Water and Believe in particular are vulnerable, honest, brave pieces of art. Tragically beautiful and soul wrenching. An artist reflecting over an illustrious long career. His shortcomings, inner most fears, losses and pain, rigid self inflicted torturerous search for an unattainable perfection competing with himself, questioning if his audience still believes in him, and human imperfections on full display. And where he goes from the top. And they sound incredible too. And people hated on honest vulnerability. WHAT A DISGUSTING CULTURE WE FIND OURSELVES IN NOW. But many important genuis artists' works were not revered in their own life time. Van Gogh died a pauper. His paintings are now considered priceless masterpieces. I think time will sort out and reflect the genius from the unwarrented hate.

[@karriegianni7022]

Eminem has saved my life several times, and for that, I’m forever grateful. I will love him until my last breath.

[@ToneOwns]

Revival was SICK! Loved it! It's funny how some of these people try to knock it and say that it sucked. But Eminem has critique coming in from Dr. Dre and other great artists wit honest opinions and they say it's great.

[@MVangelmx]

I love hearing him mess around, laughing, having a good time. I missed that.

[@HipHop-vg7cd]

This was a grown album for his more mature fans which truly showed growth, it's never good to stay in the same place in life or as an artist! So glad you shifted gears bc those were some very real and vulnerable lyrics on this album and that takes a lot of guts! I cried my eyes out to arose and had tears in my eyes on many other tracks, so damn good! It was a Fucking masterpiece and your true fans appreciate the hell out of MM for changing lanes and speaking from his heart and mind at the time! You can bring Shady out at anytime on another record, way too easy for you😉🐐 Always ahead of your time, the rest of the world will catch up years down the line and eventually appreciate all of your masterpieces when they either mature or grow older. You have too many fans aging from teenagers all the way up to 50 years old and beyond so there's no way to please them all. Do you ALWAYS bc I DO still believe!!! Much love always ❤️

[@pacewhit]

Revival is so fucking fantastic. My face is sore from listening to it at work and smiling all day.

"smiling all day" lmao cornball

[@pacewhit]

It's true. Those clever rhymes keep making me laugh, smile, shout, etc. I'm just feeling it, son!! Don't know why people get off on making fun of someome enjoying an album. But do as you like, shit doesn't phase me. I've been in too good of a mood since this album came out. I can't comprehend what haters are trippin on. I can only assume you were Eminem fans-turned-butthurt-trump-supporters cause he called all you dumbasses out. Y'all made your bed, now lie in it with the rest of us. Either way, supporter or not, entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine, and you can think I'm gay all day...doesn't negate the fact that my face IS actually a little sore because I literally chose to go into work on my day off because I knew I'd listen to it more while I'm working than at home. It just keeps getting better. I must have listened to most of it like 50 times. I just love it, love Em, and could really give a fuck what anybody thinks. Peace. One.

[@Pokerking4128]

Questions really show the quality of the album . Basically everyone asking about 4 songs - Offended, Framed, Castle and Arose. I really hope that EM will notice that too, and he will give us more tracks like these 4.

[@dylanbrown3090]

instead of just throwing away songs, he should put out B side albums or mixtapes with the songs the didn't make the album, just a waste if he's throwing away 30 songs per album

[@hi-fi8yr]

Dylan Brown he doesn’t throw them away he takes them back into the lab and he’ll perfect them or maybe use them for something else in a different way, whatever he has leftover basically he’ll keep it in his arsenal because eventually he will find a good way to use it and put it to good use

I love how Eminem always mentions naughty by nature. They are literally one of the most underrated hip pop groups especially treach, Ik they got famous songs like hip pop hooray and OPP but they are still criminally underrated.

[@beesssin]

i wish more people would listen to his interviews more. his interviews leading up to the album give hints on what hes trying w the album and this interview talks about the obvious. and for eminem who is who doesnt do a lot of interviews is great because for an artist of this magnitude to explain his work is a blessing...just listen to "why" and stop bitchin about the album.

[@michaelangst6078]

I thought it was fantastic for a mature rap album. Surprised we got so many people hating on it.. Most all be people in their early 20's or somethng. The Revival interlude track really needed to be put into a song and be the standout of the album

[@TheSilentGamer1200]

I think revival is a great album, just my opinion tho

[@hamar5908]

I'm the biggest hip hop head and I loved the album. Revival is the perfect title cus it's best em album since Eminem show.

[@hamar5908]

Rick Sanchez stfu I only listen to real hip hop. I'm a writer myself so I judge rap purely on skills as an emcee. I f***ing flipped when hes rhyming 6 syllables for like 8 bars straight. Even when telling a story he don't stop rhyming when it's literally a rule that you don't have to rhyme too much when storytelling. The album was fire. It's just yall don't appreciate bars anymore.

[@klasse4311]

MMLP2 and Relapse are million times better than this trash

My opinion it’s just great that Em stays real , a lot of music right now sounds so similar to everything else , like theres no more levels you know, Whatever though it’s just my opinion. Appreciate your talent Em straight up .

[@aceeoutlaw554]

[@aceeoutlaw554]

Rick Sanchez I bought every Eminem album when I was growing up.. so don't try Me bruh because of my opinion... I truly enjoyed this new Eminem and it's one of my favorite albums...

[@threepointshooter7454]

It can't be top 3 with MMLP, EMINEM SHOW and RECOVERY.

[@kltella]

To be honest, his album obviously isn't what most em fans were looking for. What i'm getting from this album is a story, he is trying to express himself, past and present. This album is about growth, clearly. As for the production, yes it could have been done differently. In recent interviews he talks about how he wanted Dre to produce a lot of the album but Dre had taken time off so he could only mix on some songs and thats exactly what he did. It seems like he needed to meet a 'timeline' so to speak to release the album. Needless to say, the 'trap' stuff on his album seems more like he is mocking rappers in the game, which is classic em. Also, people should expect him to bring a little bit of everything into this album; trap, politics, personal life. It has been four years. It is not his best, but it is not his worst either.

[@klasse4311]

k.e. l There's no story to Revival. A mess is what is sadly

[@Samantha_C1]

Yes!! Totally agree on Kendrick & JayZ 🔥💕

[@4LifeChriss]

Ya thanks for keeping me on hold y'all

[@groundhog7871]

Dear Stan, Maybe he tried to many different styles on the album. So it was to much for him. BUT he said that everybody can identify with the album and that everybody find one song that he likes. The instrumetals are awesome produced i think. Maybe some of the old samples aren't your style but in my opinion they are fitted well to the rap. I love the sample from I love rocknroll and how its mixed with the rap of the GOAT. So i think that the production from Rick Rubin and Dre was awesome. On the one hand it is not a album where the themes are connected with another, on the other hand I think that every single song for its own is something new and something awesome which i enjoy to listen to. Maybe some of the features (alicia keys and xambessedors) are to commercial but maybe its not my style and you can't say that it isn't well produced. So well to sum up every single for its own is good and something new, but they aren't connected in there topics and there style. Well this was my opinion. And by the way favourite songs are Believe, and Castle. I hope you get to read this letter...😉

[@julianorozaa]

Comparing the beats of Relapse to the ones in Revival really makes me miss Dre. Eminem rapping on MMLP2 level on those beats would've been eargasmic.

[@Justme42yay]

One thing that's awesome about eminem in my humble opinion is how he knew the anniversary of naughty by nature's first album release. Idk I just find it cool. Also I'd love to get a pair of one of em's fancy jordans lol.

[@leveyManUK]

As it's called revival i think he should of revived the old eminem vibe. Bring back slim shady in a couple songs, use Royce, 50, d12, dre more involved. Too much serious and emotional songs. Framed is the best song hands down

[@shadythebeast6616]

leveyManUK yeh cuz he was the real slim shady in that song

[@IceCTucsongaming]

50 was supposed to be on the album too

[@atlargethemc832]

SniperFFA I really hope there's a deluxe version

[@adoadolescent6815]

leveyManUK that's exactly what I thought especially with most of the song titles, I thought walk on water was probably more like a mature Eminem letting us know the growth he went through and what it takes to be on his level and where he's at now, I thought believe was going to be about how we should believe in the new Eminem being capable of bringing us the same quality of music. I figured Chloraseptic would be about dissing other rappers or something of that level. I thought Untouchable, before it was leaked, would have been how he was and or still is an untouchable lyricist. I figured remind me skit would be him and Paul Rosenberg going back and forth again maybe on how he's just not the first three albums and then the remind me song would be like the way I am sort of and reminding us as a fan what captured Us in the first place.

[@Mshagy02]

leveyManUK castle is the best song hands down

[@jimmysmith8663]

revival is eminems pop album I think he did very well considering but because how poppy most of it is it deff lacks compared to his other albums.. i really wish it had a deluxe version that balanced it ou. but i still appreciate it, just hope the next one isnt as pop. I think a new bad meets evil album would shut the haters up

[@notyou6336]

Veins there's like 2 or 3 rock beats? And I thought framed was his worst one

[@veins2820]

Forrest Hall Framed really reminded me of classic EM and he was very on Beat I personally loved it. Less Pop and Rock and more Hip Hop is what many of us would like .

[@kwmz85]

Funny how you bitch about the rock beat but don't say shit about the trap crap that ruined the album

[@notyou6336]

Veins your right tbh but the chorus made me cringe is all and the trap beats and Flo's? I loved them the album's such a mix of fun serious trap rock rap and pop something for everybody ey

[@veins2820]

Jimmy Yans I don't have an issue with Trap Beats in 2017 lol . There were 2 Trap Beats on Believe and Chloraseptic. I loved believe it's very aggresive and straight forward. I think it's kinda harsh to say it ruined the album, but i guess opinions are different.

[@eugeniaclavclav6638]

amazing!!!

Iam agree with em they are all my favorite would have a very hard time picking a favorite

If any of yall saying this cd sucks and havent listened to it more than once yall know nothing bout his legacy! I grew up on em when i listened to choraceptic and like home and belevive he sayig in those frist song where he at and where he at now and where im bout to got next and what the cd is about and where it bout to go to get him too the next track this dude a genius and in CHLORASEPTIC HE chypered-well i still have a few veiws in common with you Just not KZbin,cause... Wow!! now who really listens to eminem the king of rap and the next day he on his show he knew this was gona happened he always has been hated before it even came out!! The the best regardless!!! Great cd too not all the song what i want too be but ill listen to this abulm over and over again cause his shit so deep and complex the averange rap fan aint gona get it they gona be looking for away to say there favorite rapper is the best hmmm?

[@helenlind7483]
