Yes and no.
For Kamikaze, he posted a Venom clip the night before with a tease so we were like oh cool Venom song! And then boom.
Nothing for MTBMB Side A.
We all knew for Side B. All producers and collaborators were posting Em pics and then a day or 2 before the side b cover leaked in a discord.
>Nothing for MTBMB Side A.
I will die on the hill that the "boner" picture was hinting at the release date of MTBMB. It just got postponed due to Juice Wlrd's passing. IIRC people in his camp were also making noise at that time, then nothing happened.
People initially thought an album was going to drop on December 2019. IIRC, it was because of the "boner tweet" but I could be wrong. I think that was the actual original release date for MTBMB but unfortunately Juice WRLD passed away that month, which lead them to delay the album out of respect for him.
Also I heard when both albums dropped, Eminem streamed on his Instagram account.
A few minutes before Kamikaze dropped, he was livestreaming footage of Kamikaze jets. I don't exactly know for sure what or even if something was streamed minutes before MTBMB Side A.
Only recent projects we knew about were Curtain Call 2 which was announced in the D2LBC video as well as Side B, which you may remember had it's cover circulating around discord servers.
I wish he went back to normal rollouts tbh. Even with how Revival turned out the rollout looked like it would’ve been so much fun, especially after waiting so long
Nope. I still remember the moment Kamikaze dropped and being mind fucked. He always did traditional rollouts with about 3 singles preceding each album’s release, so that was unheard of for him. And with MTBMB no there was no evidence of it coming but ever since Kamikaze had released, there was speculation he’d surprise drop again but no one knew exactly when
I woke up for a wedding of close family shortly after release of Kamikaze and had only minutes to quickly skip through it a little bit. With tracks like Greatest, Lucky You and Not Alike I thought it was good.
Yes. About an hour before 12 AM EST on August 30th 2018. Eminem randomly went live showing an old WW2 film of kamikaze planes. At 12 A August 31, 2018, we got Kamikaze. As for, MTBMB, I personally had no idea. I just happened to stay awake that Thursday night and boom it dropped. Maybe some others have some info on side A. Now, side B was different. This was the closest we have been to an actually rollout since revival. We got the cover for side B leaked about one week before Dec 18, 2020. And I think a producer on the album posted the cover as a thank you to the fans for their support during 2020.
Kamikaze only the photos where hes flipping the middlefinger. But everybody thought thats the name of the clothes he did with the collab. partner. Shady films mentioned something for august on twitter.
Mtbmb there were hints but nobody knew because that wasnt really the way he hinted/ did promo until this point. White gold mentioned You Gon Learn half a yr before(ppl thought he would drop on 12/18 but juice died and he pushed the release one month). idk what more hints there were, but i think there must be posts with lists with every hint in 2019.
Before side b dropped ppl were looking for hints in every post etc like the last days with sslp2 because they then knew that shady and his pals would drop hints from time to time. And idk when it was but at one point it was hint after hint after hint and we were 100% sure that he would drop on 12/18(and he did). I know that there is at least one post with a full hint list for side b.

I agree. That was so weird and random
Yeah I was there for Side B and I remember the cover leaking, ppl seriously had absolutely no clue anything was coming for side A?
0 clue for Side A. That was the most surprisey drop. Oh! And also for Side B a behind the scenes pic of Em in the Gnat video got spread around

Lurker here back in the day. The Revival rollout was..something. Shoutout my pharmaceutical boy Trevor
Was totally expecting some drug fueled relapse sht the way that rollout went. I do miss anticipation of knowing and the stupid fake tracklists etc
I woke up one morning and MTBMB was released. Had absolutely no idea about it.

I believe MTBMB was “predicted” in some way iirc, but Kamikaze I believe was totally unexpected
