“Shady’s back! Back again!” Last Friday, we got the release of a surprise Eminem album entitled Music to be Murdered By. The cover and theme draw on the work of Alfred Hitchcock. Dare I say, this is one of the best releases we’ve gotten from Eminem in years. There is crisp and interesting production that coincides well with Em’s brash, quick flow. Lyrically Em is back to form with potent wordplay and double entendres.
One of the best songs on the release is the track “Godzilla,” which featured the late JuiceWRLD. The track is a great example of the album overall. The production is hard-hitting yet light, allowing Em to float on top of the best with ease. He uses classic, fast-Eminem flow, rapping at lightning speed with skill and dexterity that only Em can deliver. You will likely have to look up the lyrics to see what he’s actually saying due to the speed at which he’s rapping.
Content-wise, it’s a classic “flex” song. Em is bragging about his lyrical skill and proclaiming himself to be a “monster” at what he does. Juice WRLD chimes in with a great, catchy, melodic hook that really brings you in and reminds you why he will be so missed.
There are also moments where Em explores the “monsters” within himself. He says, “I’m beginning to feel like I’m mentally ill.” It’s a small glimpse into the mind of a man who has made a career of being controversial and a shock-master. All in all, it’s a great track and a welcome return from one of the best to ever do it.
