Have you heard it? I think he picked it up from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. It sounds kind of like someone faking a bad Caribbean accent. Just friggin' dreadful, and apparently he's using it on the whole album.

In his prime, Eminem was a brilliant lyricist and musician, and I was kind of interested to see what he would come up with after such a long hiatus, but I think I'm going to give this one a big miss.

I'd disagree. See: Mockingbird.

I guess when Eminem was in his prime is a matter of opinion. I Think the Slim Shady LP, the Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show are great albums. There are only two tracks on Encore I like, and nothing that I've heard from Relapse.

I thought he sucked before this new accent also.

[EDIT]

I've removed my comment. He gets on my nerves too much for me to have an opinion.

Having lived in his birthplace of St. Joseph, Missouri, I can assure you that he didn't pick it up there.

What used to be interpreted as mocking satire is now just foolish satire.

Boring.
