With Kamikaze already amassing impressive sales, Eminem has decided to continue his run with yet another single from the project. Today, Em has announced his selection of "Venom," which will also appear on the soundtrack to the upcoming Marvel film. Shady took to Instagram to make the announcement, as well as share the official artwork.
Eminem continues to dominate the year's third quarter, and "Venom" will appropriately carry his momentum forward into the chillier months; we've already started to hear the chorus permeating the film's teaser spots. Today, Em took aim at critics bashing his recent album by essentially mooning them with a taunting magazine spread. Among those singled out are The Hollywood Reporter, Pitchfork, Billboard, Noisey, Vulture, and Rolling Stone.
It's disappointing to see mainstream media take such a strong anti-Eminem stance, especially given his contributions to the genre. Sometimes, it's wise to stand on the right side of history, and it wouldn't be surprising to see many of these same publications sing a different tune when Em eventually takes his leave from the game.
