The lead single, “Darkness,” is the peak of “Murdered By.” Eminem flashes his storytelling chops by taking us into the mind of the perpetrator of the 2017 Las Vegas Shooting, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. This man is a legend for a reason and this album has moments that show artistic growth, and its horrorcore concept is one of the most ambitious approaches of his career. It’s refreshing to hear that Eminem has moved on from his “Revival” phase.
That leads us to “Music to Be Murdered By.” From the sounds of a woman being stabbed on the first track, “Premonition (Intro),” and sampled narration from Alfred Hitchcock, it’s clear that Eminem is done throwing fits and is ready to deliver an experience.
His 2018 follow up, “Kamikaze,” is a pathetic temper tantrum he threw in response to the negative reaction to “Revival.” “Revival,” released in 2017, was a critical failure. His early releases are essential for any hip-hop fan.īut the train lost steam and crashed in magnificent fashion. Twenty years ago, there were few rappers who could find the balance of mainstream and critical success that Eminem did. But the album’s sophomoric and half-baked material is no surprise, even if it’s better than his last two releases. Rapper Eminem surprised the music world with the release of his 11th studio album, “Music to Be Murdered By,” on Jan. Photo obtained from Aftermath Entertainment, Interscope Records and Shady Records. Music to Be Murdered By is the eleventh studio album by Eminem, released on Jan.
