Eminem has returned to the limelight after the recent surprise drop of his new album Kamikaze, a quick follow-up to his release of Revival in December last year. 

Now, in the first interview sicne the album was released, Em talks about why he kept the album a secret, about the criticism of his previous albums Revival, as well as his feelings on Recovery and Relapse AND his beef with Machine Gun Kelly.

FIRST, YOU CAN WATCH THE FIRST MUSIC VIDEO FROM THE NEW ALBUM 'FALL' RIGHT HERE:

View the lyrics
You know, everybody's been tellin' me
What they think about me for the last few months
(It's too loud)
Maybe it's time I tell 'em what I think about them
Can't hear it coming down the hallway stairs from the parking lot
It's too loud

Freeze my crown all up in it
Slow fire
Don't fall on my face
Don't fall on my faith, oh
Don't fall on my fate
Don't fall on my faith, oh
Don't fall on my fate
Don't fall on my

Gotta concentrate against the clock I race
Got no time to waste, I'm already late, I got a marathoner's pace
Went from addict to a workaholic, word to Dr. Dre in that first marijuana tape
Guess I got a chronic case
And I ain't just blowin' smoke, 'less it's in your mama's face
I know this time Paul and Dre, they won't tell me what not to say
And though me and my party days have all pretty much parted ways
You'd swear to God I've forgot I'm the guy that made "Not Afraid"
One last time for Charlemagne
If my response is late, it's just how long it takes
To hit my fuckin' radar, I'm so far away

These rappers are like Hunger Games
One minute, they're mocking Jay
Next minute, they get they style from Migos, then they copy Drake
Maybe I just don't know when to turn around and walk away
But all the hate I call it "Walk on Water" gate
I've had as much as I can tolerate
I'm sick and tired of waitin', I done lost my patience
I can take all of you motherfuckers on at once
You wanted, Shady? You got it!

Don't fall on my face (Yuh)
Don't fall on my faith, oh
Don't fall on my fate (Line 'em up!)
Don't fall on my faith, oh (Bbrrr)
Don't fall on my fate
Look

Somebody tell Budden before I snap, he better fasten it
Or have his body baggage zipped
The closest thing he's had to hits is smacking bitches
And don't make me have to give it back to Akademiks
Say this shit is trash again, I'll have you twisted like you had it
When you thought you had me slippin' at the telly
Even when I'm gettin' brain, you'll never catch me with a thot

Lacking with it, "He ain't spittin' like this in his last shit"
Hoe, you better go back and listen
You know me better, thinkin' I'll slow up, let up
Call it traps 'cause it's a total setup
Hopin' that you rappers fall in that
Dre said, "Hold your head up"
Kathy Griffin stackin' ammunition
Slap the clip and cock it back on competition
This is how I shot a head (Pew)

Gabby Giffords, my attack is viscous, jack the ripper, back in business
Tyler create nothing, I see why you called yourself a f-t, bitch
It's not just 'cause you lack attention
It's because you worship D12's balls, you're sac-rilegious
If you're gonna critique me, you better at least be as good or better
Get Earl, the Hooded Sweater, whatever his name is to help you
Put together some words, more than just two letters
The fans waited for this moment
Like the feature when I stole the show
Sorry if I took forever

Don't fall on my face (Yuh)
Don't fall on my faith, oh (I won't)
Don't fall on my fate (Line 'em up)
Don't fall on my faith, oh
Don't fall on my fate
It's too easy

Just remember, I was here before you
And I'll be here after you make your run-in for you
Detract this, I might have to fuck Pitchfork with a corkscrew
Just what the doctor ordered
Revenge is the best medicine
Increase the dose, from least to most
Then tell the Grammys to go and fuck themselves
They suck the blood from all the biggest artists like some leeches
So they nominate 'em, get 'em there, get a name to 'em
See the show, every parasite needs a host

Then give Album of the Year to somebody that no one's ever even heard of
All I know is I wrote every single word of everything I ever murdered
Time to separate the sheep from goats
And I got no faith in your writers, I don't believe in ghosts
When rap needed it most, I was that wing in the prayer
A beacon of hope, for the B-I-R-D in the air
Somewhere, some kid is bumping this while he lip-syncs in the mirror
That's who I'm doin' it for, the rest I don't really even care

But you would think I'm carryin' a Oxford dictionary
In my pocket how I'm buryin' these artists
On the scale it turns to minus
Mines is various as hardly and what's scary is
You prolly can compare me to your car 'cause I'm just barely gettin' started
And as far as Lord Jamar, you better leave me the hell alone
Or I'll show you an Elvis clone
Walk up in this house you own
Thrust my pelvic bone

You should tell a phone and go fetch me the remote
Put my feet up and just make myself at home
I belong here, clown!
Don't tell me 'bout the culture
I inspire the Hopsins, the Logics, the Coles, the Seans, the K-Dots, the 5'9"s, and oh
Brought the world 50 Cent, you did squat, pissed and moaned
But I'm not gonna fall, bitch! (Yuh)

It's too loud (Ya)
Can't hear it coming down the hallway stairs from the parking lot
It's too loud
Freeze my crown all up in it
Slow fire

Kamikaze saw Eminem calling out a whole bunch of rappers including Tyler, The Creator and Machine Gun Kelly, as well as music critics in general in defense of his previous album Revival from their criticism. 

This new interview sees Em expanding on this defense of Revival, as well as explaining why he dropped the album as a surprise and why he took shots at those he did - especially Machine Gun Kelly. Plus, he finds the time to talk about earlier albums Recovery and Relapse, and how he feels about them now.

The new album too was not without it's criticism and controversy. Eminem was called out by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver for supposedly using his vocals on 'Fall' without his permission, as well as for his use of a homophobic slur when referring to Tyler, The Creator on the same song. 

Regardless, in the interview Eminem gets to answering a lot of the questions Kamikaze has raised, as well as those about Revival that people have been asking the past year, so is definitely worth checking out. 

You can now watch all parts 1, 2, 3 & 4 of Eminem's new interview with Sway right here:

In part 2, Eminem talks more about the reason he dissed Machine Gun Kelly, Joe Budden beef and working on the Slaughterhouse group album projects. 

About replying to all the people Em dissed on Kamikaze he said "If people start firing off, and I try to answer every f***ing body I dissed on Kamikaze or had words about, I'm gonna be going for the next five f***ing years making diss song after diss song."

In part 3 he talks Jessie Reyez, Tyler The Creator, the Donald Trump cypher, Colin Kaepernick, Dr. Dre's album input and the cut song that "went too far". 

Newly released part 4 has Eminem discuss meeting Joyner Lucas, whether he was sending for Drake on Kamikaze, how hip-hop was like a father figure to him and his opinions on the Grammy's. 


In between releasing the parts, Eminem also found time to respond to Machine Gun Kelly's diss with his own diss track 'Killshot'...
