Eminem returned last night after a four-year hiatus with Revival.
His ninth album had leaked earlier in the week, and the initial reactions weren't that promising.
But perhaps his true Stans were waiting for the official drop because a scan of Twitter this morning found plenty of good reviews for the 19-track, highly-political project.
eminem really said "your booty is heavy duty like diarrhea" and people have the nerve to call him one the greatest rappers of all time

Finished #REVIVAL This album is one of Eminem's best. He mixes the playfulness of Shady w/ his maturity, thoughts on fame&being a father&the political-social status of the U.S. Addresses his history with depression&addiction. It is refreshing&relatable, empowering&emotional

Eminem really dropped an album full of NBA finals commercial break music

People hating on Eminem's #Revival album must have been born in the 2000s and jam out to Lil Pump and Lil Uzi Vert.

I'm not a hater. I'm just a Eminem fan since childhood who can no longer connect with one of his favorite rappers anymore..

This album is 0/10 please stop. Youโre my guy but youโre ruining your legacy @Eminem #Revival

#Revival examples of why Eminem is, arguably, the best lyricist ever.

1. I'm upscale now; guess it means I'm 'weigh' up in the sky.
2.I put you in your place like a realtor, boy; you still ain't in the building, boy.
3. My competition can't see me, cause I don't own a mirror.

Listening to Revival now. Itโs not the old Em, and I was never expecting it to be. But I still like it and can appreciate his new style, as long as heโs happy making his music and I rate it then Iโll bump it. On Like Home so far ๐

I can respect Revival lyrically, but sonically the album is complete garbage.

Anyone stunting for this new Eminem album canโt have actually heard it. It may be his worst project yet. Some of the worst beats heโs ever used, and that is saying a lot.

Damn. Eminem said โIโm swimming in that Egyptian river because Iโm in denialโ in 2017. Iโm not mad, just disappointed.
โ Trap Ketchum (@shofu) December 15, 2017
So I present a thread. I listened through #Revival and I've got to say.. I'm very disappointed. As an Eminem fan borderline Stan, I expected much more. I won't be talking about Walk On Water and Untouchable.. Just my general thoughts on the album

What do you think? Is Eminem still an A-List rapper?
