(ESP-ENG) "Guess who's back?" - El regreso de Eminem!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
Eminem is one of the most important rappers that music has given throughout its history, it had been more than four years without knowing anything or little about him until a few days ago when he finally released his latest track: Houdini. You can like it a lot or not at all, but what is undeniable is that songs like Without Me or the very popular The Real Slim Shady are songs that you have listened to and even hummed. His peak came in the early 2000's and from that moment on he has always been at the top. Another mythical thing about him is the movie “8 mile” where we meet B-Rabbit in those rap battle scenes. Without further ado, let's talk about all this and the return of one of the greatest.
- Houdini
The rapper not only released the new track but also gave us a very top video and very much in his style. Slim Shady is his alter ego, this yellow-haired character that we have seen in more than one of his videos. The thing is that in this song he comes out spitting lyrics and truths about how things are nowadays. Eminem has been known for not mincing words when it comes to saying things and here was no exception. He talks about some of today's artists and even about his own children calling them “spoiled or brats”; but the most important thing is the criticism of the times we are living in because he says that artists have to meet all the demands and expectations that society imposes or expects from them leaving aside all the art and creative ability. And yes, it's totally true, unfortunately people think they have the power to dictate the course of everyone's careers and that's unfortunate, they owe us absolutely nothing. But hey, the video is very top notch, full of comedy, collaborations, visually it's pretty cool. The musicality of the track is super catchy, if you like Eminem you'll enjoy it but if it's not to your liking it's possible that the melody will stick in your head. Very good comeback.
- 8 Mile Movie
8 Mile is a cult movie, not so much for its plot but for the epic rap battles that take place in it. This one that I put here represents the last one of the film where if you know the context you can enjoy it a lot but if you don't it is also possible to do it. Before this he had two more that were the preamble for this moment. Freestyle is complicated, it is a modality where besides having vocabulary you have to have an agile and privileged mind, very few people are able to do this and if you want to do it, you have to practice like crazy because it is just that, pure practice. Some people may think that this is not music but the truth is that the skill required is immense. Personally I'm happy about his return because as I said he is part of the pop culture of music and because I grew up listening to his songs, we have to see how will be this album that is expected to be released in the rest of the year but I tell you that I'm really looking forward to it after listening to Houdini.
- Without Me
- The Real Slim Shady
In order to understand the first video, it is necessary to have a context, and that is through these two songs. Undoubtedly these are the two most powerful songs of his, the ones that marked his personality in music and off stage. The years 2000 and 2002 respectively were the years when he released these songs, which are basically satires of the whole environment of those times, there were people who liked it but as in everything there were others who didn't like it so much. That mattered to him? - Not at all, hence what he says in Houdini and we commented before. Eminem has always set trends in all aspects, he did it more than 20 years ago and he is doing it now, everyone is reacting to this comeback and it was something that many were waiting for. The music of this rap, hip hop and even pop monster was missed because he unintentionally marked an era within the genre throwing darts at different personalities and styles. Listen to Eminem, this first track is very good but if you can and want to give him a chance and hear everything he has offered in his career.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos escuchamos en la próxima!
