We have often mentioned our distaste for most of the metrosexual males being paraded by the main labels as the best in music today. They are clearly not, as the fan charts and social media year-end reviews exclude them.
The final mention in the EW list is Kid Cudi and Man on the Moon: The End of Day. The comments for this selection are most barbed: “Kid Cudi is another example of why rap is dying.

Maybe the return of Eminem to recording will cause the shake-up so needed in the male music-making department. With over 80 million album sales worldwide, Eminem was the man and his new releases may raise the game for everyone.
