Eminem – Revival rebuffed by critics

  

 

The rapper Eminem’s Revival album just out has had a mauling from the critics. “A mistake, a random mash of immaturity, vanilla attempts at atonement and random, sprinkles of magnificence.” “Witless beats and puns in a total rejection of hip-hop with acres of bad gags, filler and formulaic fury.” “He veers from sassy to self-deprecating, dependent to dismissive, murderous to politically conscious, uncontrollably lusty to borderline repentant, sometimes all within the same song. The album concludes with a new day dawning, and the sound of a toilet flushing.”

Which doesn’t mean his fans won’t buy it, but it can’t be doing his ego much good.

Born 17 October 1972 maybe 11.04 am Kansas City, MO, he had a fractured childhood with an absent father, constant moves and was bullied at school. He went on to perform the best-selling albums of the 2000s in the US, was known as the king of hip-hop and has continued to reach high sales and garner musical awards since.

He’s a Sun Uranus in Libra trine Saturn trine Moon in Aquarius, with Mars Pluto also in Libra; and a pushily confident Jupiter in money-magnet Capricorn square his Pluto. Not an easy chart, with a fairly blighted emotional life, though lots of drive and anger.

Tr Uranus is exactly opposition his Sun at the moment and tr Pluto is square his Uranus in 2017/2018, so a time of upheaval and change in his life. Which heaven knows has gone through enough already with a drug habit, court cases galore and on off relationships plus his mother suing him for slander. Tr Saturn moving through Capricorn will conjunct his Jupiter and square his Pluto in early January 2018 and in 2019 square his Uranus Sun, so a fair amount of coming-down-to-earth and facing reality in front of him. If his birth time is accurate then he’s moving into a less successful few years.

One thought on “Eminem – Revival rebuffed by critics

  1. Hi Marjorie Thank you ! I just saw your post about Eminem about Revival I’dlike to ask you a couple of questions could you please explain a little more what you meant by ” facing really in front of him, changes in his life”? what do you exactly mean by that?
    Also I wanted to ask you he did an interview it was posted yesterday and they asked him about dating and he said :

    It’s tough ,Since my divorce I’ve had a few dates and nothing’s panned out in a way that I wanted to make it public. Dating’s just not where I’m at lately’ then they asked him if he feels lonely he said ‘No, I’m good. Thanks for asking though.’

    what do u think /see about his love life? do those changes you said on the reading have anything to do with a new girl ? do you think he’s gonna be in love andhappy and in a relationship ever again?

    Thank you again Marjorie

    I appreciate your time
