Eminem "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" Official Tracklist...

[Tony D'Amato]

Listening to this album now

Beats are boring and basic and Eminem just sounds like he just trying to rhyme as many words as he possible can with each other.

And all that yelling

Why is yo bish azz uppin all these old Em threads? U have horrible taste in general.

Very uneven album. Some great songs ("Bad Guy," "Legacy," "Evil Twin") and some bullshyt ("So Much Better," "Stronger Than I Was," "Love Game"). I understand why it was called MMLP2 now, but I feel like he should have went with another title because he was going to invite comparisons to the original album no matter what. Kamikaze felt more like an MMLP sequel than this one did.

For what it's worth, this is probably Eminem's best performance from a technical standpoint. You can tell he was really trying to stretch out the rhyme schemes and references with this album.

Never really listened to it after hearing love game.

Nah this can’t be. Don’t tell me that.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Bad Guy, the other half of Bad Guy and Rap God are the only tracks that I bang on this mid album. For what it's worth, it was a way better effort from Em compared to his shytty albums afterwards (except for his last album which was mid at best)

 

[Greenhornet]

good ass album

people forget that this was him finally returning to form

no accent, 3 years after recovery... which was mid to me and mostly pop shyt
recovery came before that, which I loved... too weird and left for most people to digest
so it would be nearly 11 years before his last actual mostly hiphop shyt in The Eminem Show

skipped straight past Encore since that was way too left field for people too


Immediately after MMLP2 he went back with Revival and made an even worse version of Recovery... and we know how that went
now he's been more on point and more "hiphop" since then


MMLP2 was a precursor that the "old" eminem was coming back ... the intro song re-lives and describes that

Hell: The Sequel was what inspired his approach with MMLP2. He was having fun with the bars again and Royce was challenging him on every song. With this album, he used the same method and didn't count his bars, so every song sounded like a freestyle. Last year, he admitted to Paul that he left no room to breathe on the album because of how long the verses were.

To me, the album just seems confused. Some of the songs have an underground style and sound like what Eminem really wanted to do ("Rhyme or Reason," "Brainless," "Baby") and then you have songs that are there to appeal to the Recovery crowd ("The Monster," "Headlights," "Beautiful Pain"). This is also the album where he introduced that awful choppy flow, with him saying a line, abruptly stopping it, and continuing it. I don't know how bad his tinnitus was at this point, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was still dealing with it.

This shyt was garbage.
