Eminem released his album Kamikaze in which he took shots at a number of mumble rappers. Mumble rap is a microgenre originated from Hip-Hop which was made popular by Soundcloud, an online audio distribution platform. Eminem does not believe in the concept of mumble rap because it involves mincing the words to make it fluent and free-flowing, which sometimes means just producing songs with small and repetitive words as Lil Pump did with his single Gucci Gang. Em called out upon some mumble rappers like Lil Yachty, Lil Pump, and Lil Xan and also said that adding Lil to their name will not help to in comparing themselves to Lil Wayne.

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.
