Kamikaze, Crybaby, or Rap God?

Last week Eminem surprised everyone by dropping his tenth studio album, Kamikaze. After the underwhelming rollout for his 2017 release, Revival, Eminem tried to do just that with this album, revive himself as the self proclaimed "Rap God" of the game. Most of the subject matter takes aim at the current state of hip hop, and his disdain for the new generation of rappers. Repetitively mentioning the lackluster release of Revival, Eminem appears overwhelmingly bitter and takes to blaming everyone else rather than owning it as his own shortcomings. Below I've listed everyone Em dissed and what track to find it on:
Track 1. "The Ringer": Lil Yatchy, Lil Pump, Lil Xan, mumble rappers
Track 8. "Not Alike": Migos, MGK, and all of the new school rappers
Track 10. "Fall": Tyler The Creator, C Tha God, Akademiks, Budden, and The Grammy's
Track 3. & 9. "Lucky You" & "Kamikaze": Drake
Overall, Eminem comes off as sour and unable to receive/process constructive criticism from his peers and fans. The "Rap God" seems angry that people would dare hold him accountable for his weakened lyricism in the past fews years, when mumble rappers are out here spitting about nonsense. While the numbers are still rolling in, according to Billboard, the album is on track at No. 1 on next week’s 200 chart. Although, I feel like it isn't because it's a quality album, but more so because everyone is just curious to hear the gossip.
Below is my rundown of the album, track-by-track:
