Hmm what to say

This album is definitely based on Slim Shady and not Eminem if you know what i mean. He has tried to bring out a completely new style. New type of beats, new way of flow. It will appeal to many slim shady fans. But i don't think it's anywhere near MMLP/Eminem Show/Encore. But it's much much better than Recovery/Relapse. Miles better than them two.

Few of his songs are fantastic. Think they saved the whole album. Legacy is the best track in the album. Maybe because that's the most anti slim shady song and very much more like Eminem


I'd give it 7/10

LEGENDARY

Listened to Kanye in a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest. He started off so promisingly human, Seacrest asked if he was nervous when he proposed to Kim and he said something along the lines of 'Yeah I'm not overly confident about other people's feelings cuz you never know, I'm not arrogant about that.'

Then of course he went on to obnoxiously claim MBDTF (which I love) is 'the closest thing to a perfect album' and that he knows how to make perfect music but just doesn't want to

I am gonna book tickets to his tour. Might be my last chance to see Em live.

[Mamad]

Eminem's album just gets better and better after a few times listening.

[MJ]

I have this weird cringe-ish feeling about listening to MMLP2.

They're sooooooooooo expensive in Aus, im still not sure if its worth it, plus 360 as a supporting act is a pretty big deterrent

So I really liked MMLP2  

Relapse (Had its moments but we know where it goes)<<<Infinite<<<Encore<<Recovery<<MMLP2<<Slim Shady LP<<Eminem Show<<Marshall Mathers LP

[M99]

The first track of MMLP2 is the sequel to Stan.



I'm pretty sure the people who are saying they don't like the beginning aren't realizing that he's rapping as Stan's little brother. He puts the emphasis on the rhyming words like amateur rappers do. That's why it sounds so unpolished and not as skillful as the last couple minutes. It's not supposed to be him rapping. The guy's a goddamn genius.

The song actually has three voices.

First is Stan's brother, rapping in a simple apparently misogynistic and hyper-aggressive style, just like Eminem's very early work. Only after the 3rd verse does this really become apparent.

Second is a hybrid, starting a 5:12 the fictional brother becomes Eminem's conscience and takes on a sinister double voice as Eminem is "dying" like Stan did. This portion is quite surprisingly introspective, vulnerable, and self-critical. He's always been good at this level of honesty, but this verse is really spectacular.

The third is his own, who silences the self doubt at 6:50 and tries to explain why he, Eminem has to keep doing what he's doing. But this voice sounds tired, it lacks the intensity and power of the first two. Soon this persona fades away, just like the second voice of doubt and conscience said that he would.

The way Eminem explodes at the outro...damn. Talking about how Stan and Matthew are only symbolic, brilliant stuff by Em.

Yep. Encore was the height of his accent rapping, I liked maybe 2 tracks off that album.

Puke, Big Weenie, Ass Like That, My 1st Single, Just Lose It =

Never Enough, Toy Soldiers and maybe Mockingbird the only tracks I care for.

The beat for Rain Man was insane too bad he didn't get that beat 3 years before.

[MJ]

But he rapped with an accent on almost all of Relapse

Not one song on Relapse could scratch his top 20 songs, at least with Encore it could be argued that the three you listed could.
