Eminem fans were given a treat on Friday as the rapper dropped a surprise album, titled Kamikaze.

The controversial star announced the release of his 10th studio album on his Twitter account at midnight, with no prior warning.

He posted a link to download the album, writing: “Tried not 2 overthink this 1... enjoy. #KAMIKAZE Out Now.”

The 13-track album sees the rapper-real name Marshall Mathers-slam a slew of friends and foe alike following the release of his previous record Revival, which he dropped eight months ago.

Here’s everyone he took shots at on his latest contribution.

The Ringer

The opening track of the surprise record sees the 45-year-old rip into US president Donald Trump by referencing his two freestyle performance shading the “evil serpent.”

He raps: “[Trump] sent the Secret Service to meet in person. To see if I really think of hurtin’ him.

“I empathise with the people this evil serpent sold the dream to that he’s deserted.”

He also bashes 66 rapper Lil Yachty, Gucci Gang artist Lil Pump and Betrayed hit maker Lil Xan.

He slammed the trio for “Imitating” Lil Wayne hailing them “goners” for not living up to the likes of Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar.

On the song, he raps: “Get this f****** audio out my audio, adios.

“I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though. Not even dissin’, it just ain’t for me.”

Lucky You

**Warning- Explicit Language**

The song features I Don’t Die rapper Joyner Lucas and takes aim at rappers who mumble their way through their music.

“And mumble, oh f*** it I’m goin’ for the jugular.

“This s*** is a circus, you clowns that are comin’ up don’t give an ounce of mother f*** about the ones that were here before you that make raps.”

Not Alike

Not Alike calls out actor and Home rapper Machine Gun Kelly and warns him against “commenting on my daughter Hailie.”

Eminem blasts: “But next time you don’t gotta use Tech N9ne if you wanna come at me with a sub-machine gun.

“And I’m talking to you but you already know who the f*** you are, Kelly I don’t use sublims and sure as f*** don’t sneak-diss.

“But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie.”

The lyrics reference when Kelly tweeted about the then-16-year-old as being “hot as f***.”

Also fired at is disgraced Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein, where he hits out: “I Harvey Weinstein, a bathrobe hanging open.

“My code name is groper, I roleplay with lotion, I f***** on the world then I throw away the Trojan.”

Fall

The track is arguably the most savage on the album taking aim at pretty much all other massive contenders in the industry.

Hitting out at God’s Plan hit-maker Drake, Eminem criticises reports that he may have used ghost writers: “You got some views but you’re still below me.

“Mine are higher so when you compare our views you get overlooked and I don’t say a hook unless I wrote the hook.”

He then moves on to 27-year-old Tyler, The Creator using a controversial homophobic slur to reference the rapper.

Tyler create nothing, I see why you called yourself a f***** b****. It’s not just ‘cause you lack attention”, he raps.

“It’s because you worship D12’s balls, you’re sacrilegious. If you’re gonna critique me, you better at least be as good or better.”

Record producer Lord Jamar failed to evade a blast too as Eminem fuelled the pair’s long-standing feud.

“And 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, use your telephone, then go fetch me the remote.

“Put my feet up and just make myself at home.”

Kamikaze is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and iTunes.
