Eminem calls out the mumblers:

Eminem dropped his surprise album, Kamakaze, in which Em was basically laying out his opinions on mumble rap as well as on his previous album which did not come up to his expectations. Eminem got a huge backlash for his album Revival which was shocking for the 8-Mile starrer, and he also mentioned in his 2018 that the failure hurt him like hell. The MC raps, "Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne/I should aim at everybody in the game, pick a name. I heard your mumbling but it's jumbled in mumbo-jumbo/The era that I'm from will pummel you/That's what it's comin' to.” Here's an interview where the rapper is elaborating about his album, Kamikaze.
