The album is just one long, bipolar freestyle. Listening to it front to back is a headache. And some of the best songs on the album ("Baby," "Groundhog Day," "Don't Front") were bonus tracks. That doesn't necessarily make an album bad (Life is Good) but when you have songs like "So Much Better," "Stronger Than I Was," and "Headlights" on the standard version, I have to wonder what the hell is wrong with your ears.
I'm sorry i can't get into it haven't heard this album in years. I'll rather listen to his last joint. The only 2 old albums i can go back to is Eminem Show & 8 Mile Soundtrack. Everything else is ehh.

I don't blame you. MMLP 2 has the same problem Recovery does. It's stuck between being mainstream pop and being hip hop. But this time, it's worse because Eminem’s voice is more grating and his flow is choppier. This album should have sounded more like Hell: The Sequel since Eminem claimed to be influenced by it going into this one.

Eminem said that he didn't want to do a straight up rap song with Kendrick because that's what people were expecting. And apparently, they recorded that song about a week or two before "Control" was recorded.
It's just really funny to me that "Control" comes out, which is Kendrick pretty much challenging everybody to step up their game and becoming a bigger star after GKMC came out. Probably the last time a rapper became more famous because of a verse. And Eminem gets him on a track a few months later, which I'm sure created a lot of buzz at the time. And it's on an album where Eminem is freestyling over pretty much every beat and not counting his bars. So, you would expect Kendrick to be on a track like "Brainless" or "Groundhog Day" or "Rap God," right? No, that's too predictable. Put him on "Love Game" because nobody is going to see it coming.
I don't know that other guy's name, but he said what I said a few days ago about how Eminem is different on his albums compared to his features. On MTBMB, he was actually talking about things, and slowing down his flow. Songs like "Premonition," "You Gon' Learn," "Darkness," "Leaving Heaven," "Never Love Again," "No Regrets." He wasn't trying to rap 100 miles a minute on every track. He actually tried to make an album. It was too long, but looking back, it was a good project. Even Side B had tracks like "Favorite bytch," "Guns Blazing," "Gnat," "These Demons," "She Loves Me," "Zeus," and "Discombobulated." His features never sound like that.
I hated majority of mmlp2 but love game is a banger. I love both of their verses. I feel like this song is underrated if anything. Joe is a clown but that's not anything new.

That verse was terrible also. And it makes sense now. Someone said his love game verse and control verse were done around the same time. Both were a whole bunch of nothing
