After a relatively quiet first half of 2018, Eminem blasted back into the public eye with his 10th studio album, Kamikaze, which he released as a surprise on the last day of August. The tactic worked: Eminem dominated headlines in the days following Kamikaze's release in a way that he never did with Revival. Kamikaze marked a career rebound for Eminem, but it also represented a 180-degree lyrical shift from the mopey, self-serious Revival. On Kamikaze, Eminem returned to the unrepentant beefing and braggadocio of his youth, polarizing certain listeners but maintaining the adulation of his huge fan base. But the accomplishment paled in comparison to Eminem's own response track, "Killshot," which broke the 24-hour YouTube record for a hip-hop video and blasted to No.
