Eminem released his new album Music To Be Murdered By on January 17, 2020. This new album brings a lot of great things by Eminem, from guest features to a world record in “Godzilla”. This album is mostly about Eminem’s past from his parents to his unfaithful relationships. It generally goes through his life and shares like he is in a Narcotics Anonymous meeting.
This album is great and features a lot more collaboration than Eminem has ever done. I recommend this album to anyone who likes rap from deep to mumble rap. There is a little of everything for everyone.

Track 1: Premonition
The intro to the album, “Premonition”, starts out with a talking intro and then Nikki Grier sings the chorus. This song is about people having premonitions toward Eminem and how he is dealing with the problems he is facing.

Track 2: Unaccommodating(feat.Young M.A)
“Unaccommodating” shows the difference between new rap and old rap by starting out with Young M.A rapping about girls, guns, and money. With no transitions, it shifts straight into Eminem rapping about his past diss tracks on other people, namely Machine Gun Kelly.

Track 3: You Gon’ Learn(feat.Royce Da 5’9” & White Gold)
“You Gon’ Learn” feels like the slowest song on this album. The song starts out with White Gold singing the chorus. It goes to Royce Da 5’9” singing the first verse. The second verse is by Eminem rapping about his past.

Track 4:Those kinda nights(feat. Ed Sheeran)
“Those Kinda Nights” is a great party song that you can really chill to and have a good time with. This song features Ed Sheeran who has worked with Eminem before in “River” this song takes a lighter side with one of the most creative Eminem lines in a while, “Seriously though, jokes aside, how you doin’? You straight?” She said, “No, I’m bi” She said, “Are you drunk?,” I said, “No, I’m high I’m checkin’ out the chick,” she said, “So am I”.”

Track 5: In Too Deep
“In Too Deep” is about a secret relationship where he realizes that he really loves the girl that he is hiding from the world and isn’t sure who he wants to go with. You can tell Eminem is really conflicted about what to do, “But now the lines are getting super blurred. Can’t tell if I’m cheating on her with you or cheating on you with her.”.
Track 6: Godzilla(feat. Juice WRLD)
“Godzilla” is the fastest song on this album, actually breaking a world record with 224 words or 330 syllables in 31 seconds (7.23 words per second). This is also Eminem’s first posthumous feature.

Track 7: Darkness
“Darkness” is about the struggle people have with anxiety and drug abuse which cause shootings in schools and public places. Eminem raps about how the people who do mass shootings are just lonely and need someone to talk to. Eminem really gets in touch with the type of people who do mass shootings.

Track 8: Leaving Heaven(feat. Skylar Grey)
“Leaving Heaven” is about Eminem’s upbringing and getting out of that awful life. With a throwback to another song of his (Toy Soldiers) this track goes in deep and lets us look through Eminem’s life.

Track 9: Yah Yah (feat. Royce Da 5’9”, Black Thought, Q-tip, & Denaun)
“Yah Yah” is a fast upbeat song without a real meaning that sounds like bragging. It is still the kind of song you would want to listen to with a very catchy chorus. All of the musicians come together and bring along their style of raping and quotes from legends like Ice Cube and Wu-Tang.

Track 10: Stepdad
“Stepdad” is a song that gets straight to the point with it being about how much he hates his stepdad. Chorus: “I, I, hate My, my stepdad (Stepdad) So tonight I’m sayin’, Bye-bye stepdad (Stepdad)”. This song covered all the things that his stepdad did to him and his fantasy of killing his stepdad.

Track 11: Marsh
“Marsh” is about how Eminem feels like he doesn’t belong anywhere. He also talks about people’s opinions of him, not releasing albums in the past but releasing more in these past few years.

Track 12: Never Love Again
In “Never Love Again” Eminem raps about a relationship he misses and wants back. It is also an apology to his ex. I don’t like this song that much because it makes Eminem seem really selfish

Track 13: Little Engine
“Little Engine” starts with an introduction by Alfred Hitchcock. Eminem then moves onto rapping about how someone from a small upbringing can go big and how there are plenty of people who do.

Track 14: Lock It Up(feat. Anderson .Paak)
“Lock It Up” is a song about “hood” life. It starts with a nice beat and has a nice introduction. I like this song because it makes me think of an old rap style from Eminem again the only problem is the song really doesn’t have a meaning with it.

Track 15: Farewell
In “Farewell” Eminem raps about leaving a relationship where he really doesn’t want to be with the woman anymore. Eminem comes in with a catchy chorus saying goodbye to her. He keeps calling her names and really is the worst song on this album.

Track 16: No Regrets(feat. Don Toliver)
“No Regrets” starts out with Don Toliver on the chorus, then Eminem rapping about things he has done and that he doesn’t regret it. This song has a nice hook with a deep bass boosted sounding beat.

Track 17: I Will(feat. Royce da 5’9”, KXNG Crooked, Joell Ortiz)
“I Will” starts with Eminem speaking the intro then singing the chorus. The song then goes to Royce Da 5’9” singing the first verse talking about “mumble rappers”. Then it goes to the second verse with KXNG Crooked rapping about killing people. Then Joell Ortiz and Eminem finishing up the album.
