      @Obsidian YT the two 7's aren't comparable though. Pump received a seven for making a satisfyingly fun trap rap record, Eminem received a seven for creating a record that did rather well to recapture what made his first couple of albums so fantastic. It doesn't mean he thinks Lil Pump can rap better or anything like that, it just means that both albums did a relatively good job at what they were trying to accomplish. Different standards

    "I don’t know if anyone will get this, like this is super-nerdy, but the rhyming words in that song never change. And that’s just one of the things that I do to try to challenge myself. I wanted to try to make a whole song where the rhyming words never changed."

      No I've never heard of eminem before. This is the first album I've heard from him. But in all seriousness it depends on what you take as "lyrical". Being lyrical can have different meanings. In most songs being lyrical means have meaning in songs. In rap being lyrical can mean having different flows and showing off technicality in verses. I'm using the second meaning. So yes, using the second meaning I believe this is his most lyrical or technically complex album

      @mysteriousgamer89 I really tried to give it a shot but I just can't bear the accents. Also some of the tracks would have been bad without the accents: I hate the beat on old time's sake, and on my mom and bagpipes from Baghdad, he sounds like he was forced to rap on must be the ganja, I liked 3 am until the he starts getting off topic (and the accent became worse with time), I only like the hook on insane, I hate the hook on medicine ball and we made you. The remaining 7 songs (hello, same song & dance, stay wide awake, deja Vu, crack a bottle, beautiful and underground (which is how the album should have sound and is amazing)) are great tracks which I love. It's probably my 7/8th favorite album by em.

    • @petercoderch589
      @petercoderch589 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      He claims to be a huge fan of "classic" Eminem. I think the album title gave him hope that his old idol would come back. This clearly not as good as the first one, but he still had a positive attitude because he thought this was just a "warm up" for what would come after, which would be Em back to his 1997-2003 form., When the awful bad and atrocious sounding Revival came out, he was clearly shocked. Then the mediocre and angry Kamikaze and MTBMB. You are right that he sounds extremely bitter. It's almost like he is heart-broken on a personal level that Em is not giving him another SSLP or MMLP. If you look at the anger of his Kamikaze review, when he talks about SSLP and MMLP, yoiu can clearly see in his eyes that it is more than just an album review. You can see in his eyes the look of betrayal. But we all need to let things go. Everyone ages and declines. It's the way it works. I still like Em for his flows, though.

    @billny33 6 ปีที่แล้ว +64

    This is actually my favorite Eminem album. All time. Yes. It makes you laugh, it makes you think, it makes you cry, it captures you with clever wordplay and speed. It has everything.
    Bad Guy, Legacy and Headlights all brought me to tears. I don't think any other album has 3 songs that have that effect on me.
    Bad Guy because of the epic final verse where he squares off against his own regrets and you realize just how aware he is of everything he's done wrong in his life
    Legacy because I was bullied as a kid too and I've felt helpless like that, the female voice in the chorus was incredibly powerful. In the second and third verses he turns around his misfortune and turns his anger on his tormentors in a way that was so incredibly cathartic
    Headlights because I never imagined he would pen a track about his mom in which he forgave her after so many negative songs about her throughout his career. Incredibly poignant.
    Rap God was mindblowing in its talent and different flows and it's incredible fast pace for much of the 3rd verse.
    Love Game was probably the funniest track when he talks about a dream within a dream within a dream where he's battling his gf all the way through and gets her to crash her car and the battle doesn't end there. His cartoonish description and punch lines reminds me of Brain Damage from Slim Shady LP and that's a good thing. Kendrick Lamar also taught me what it means for a guy to be a "Ferris Wheel" in his verse. This was my introduction to Kendrick. I enjoyed him here, def not my favorite sounding voice though.
    So Far and Rhyme or Reason both sample classic rock tracks with Eminem singing his own variation on the classic hook. I liked the fusion between his rap and the original sample and thought the songs were very fun, clever and engaging.
    I enjoyed Asshole and Brainless for being sharp, fun, clever, and very self-aware, classic Eminem to me.
    Evil Twin was allright. Not my favorite but all right.
    So Much Better was enjoyable to hear him be pissed at a woman again and just be straight mean-spirited again. That part of you that secretly likes to hear Eminem say kind of fucked up shit gets off on this one.
    Survival is fiery and inspirational. That one gets me mega hyped.
    I know there's stuff I missed too. But its like every track here is so hard hitting. That's why I actually believe it's his best. I loved his old stuff to death too but this album is just smarter and more complex and more versatile on so many levels. And it feels more complete to me than MMLP1 where the only track that can resonate with you emotionally might be Stan. MMLP1 to me was somewhat of a dirty, guilty pleasure. He was very technically sound and his rhymes, flows and the way the stuff was produced was on point, great cameos from a lot of other rappers. But also, still very immature and unapologetic and kind of adolescent. I loved it for what it was but didn't think of it as high art by any means (just listen to the chorus of "under the influence" and you'll see what I mean) I thought the Eminem Show was the first time he nailed it 100% where I was like "He did it! He got a perfect album!" This MMLP2 felt like he did it again.

      Green that’s the point... rhyming the same scheme the entire song is more challenging, and subsequently more impressive when pulled off as nicely as it was on this. It was also used amazingly by him on the Slaughterhouse track Psychopath Killer and Guts Over Fear, both appearing on SHADYXV, but this song was able to use it in a narrative style track and for the most part it was a very well written track. The production isn’t that bad but it’s not great, and admittedly the female singing (I think it was by Paulina something I’m not sure) was mediocre, but his lyricism was well crafted. Also the way his voice is somewhat faded during the first half of the song before he finds his confidence when it stabilizes more is pretty creative and gives the track a whole new feel once you realize it. One of the best tracks on the album easily

    As far as this album goes, Bad Guy, Headlights & Evil Twin are the true jewels of MMLP2 & what make it out to be an amazing album.
    Bad Guy involved all of his past fears coming back to kill him, no matter how much he tried "Recovering" from them in 2010. These fears are his inevitable career ending, empathy for those he offended as King of Controversy, death, & most importantly, Matthew (Stan's brother), who is arguably possessed by Stan himself & Slim Shady, Eminem's alter ego he tried killing after Encore & the drug overdose (not to mention many songs/skits/interludes Em made trying to kill this character). Eminem, knowing he's powerless against these Monsters he has created, chooses his limited time of life left in Matthew's trunk to show remorse for the sins he's committed throughout his career & give value to his legacy with the rest of the songs on the album.
    --------------------
    Headlights, with this song being the hardest for him to make involving apologizing to his mom, he ties the final loose end he’s had in his career before dying in the back of Matthew’s trunk in "Bad Guy". Instead of resisting, trying to fight his way through the trunk & save himself, he lets go of all insecurities knowing his final words were of kindness to his mother.
    "And if the plane goes down, & the crew can't wake me up,
    Just know that I'm alright, I AM NOT AFRAID TO DIE."
    The drugs, the crazy behavior, the crude lyrics, his legal troubles, shitty relationships with ex & most of all, his mom, Eminem now no longer puts blame on Slim Shady for these mishaps. He finally takes responsibility for everything. With time running out before drowning, he accepts his fate & embraces death as if this were the last song he’s gonna end the album & his life with,….
    --------------------
    …until Slim Shady saves his life for Evil Twin. His remorse for the biggest sin on his conscience not only serves as a sacrifice, but allows Slim Shady, the presumably devilish side of Em that possesses him to be a “Bad Guy”, to change face & give him a second chance at life.
    "Evil Twin, please come in. What was your name again?"
    He says “please come in” to Slim, allowing him to take control, who in the 1st Slim Shady EP intro made his appearance quite forefully/violently in possessing Marshall’s body. This new acceptance shows that the bond Eminem & Shady have is no longer violent.
    "Still Shady inside; hair every bit as dyed,
    as it used to be, when I first introduced y'all to my skittish side,
    & blamed it on him when they tried to criticize. CUZ WE ARE THE SAME."
    He embraces his crazy side instead of just using Slim as a scapegoat for wild behavior. In conclusion, Eminem's demons no longer haunt him and he & Slim Shady are at peace for the first time.

    I notice this guy is a lot easier on certain artists. Like this dude didn't like the Eminem Show... He gave the MMLP2 a 7.. but he gave Drake's mixtape an 8... Drake's mixtape. An 8. I get it. Anthony's pretentious and Eminem isn't cool anymore. It's the popular thing to call Em corny and hate on his production. Anthony always compliments Em on his rapping skills yet.. I think Anthony forgets that rapping is THE most important part about Being a Rapper. So Drake's basic rhymes and similar sounding beats get praise yet Em's wide variety of sounds and technical lyricism is frowned upon?

    Eminem is a better rapper in the technical sense but Kanye makes better albums, is a much better producer and overall just a more creative and diverse musician, I know Fantano doesn't like Kanye but he's right about how Eminem has trouble with being immature.
    Yeezus was a much better album because it wasn't filled with cringe-worthy poppy singing choruses and beats that sound like they were made by a 14-year-old in FL Studio.

I am impressed ...

Eminem mentions or pays homage to Pharaoh Monch, A Tribe Called Quest, Third Bass, Leaders Of The New School, Black Moon, Lakim Shabazz... etc. You gotta respect the fact that Em is still passionate and cares about the craft of emceeing. Tracks like Bad Guy, Rhyme Or Reason, Rap God, Brainless, Evil Twin, and the bonus track Don't Front are examples of that. Mainstream albums that have all this are far and few these days. Lil Wayne has gone retarded
    Kanye is making weird music that doesn't sound like hip hop

    The Eminem Show - 9/10 - Great Album with elements from both SSLP and MMLP.

    Relapse - 8/10 - Eminem's return to the game. Very underrated album. Reminded me a lot of SSLP.
    Recovery - 8/10 - Another underrated album. Much more emotional than Relapse, but equally as good.

      Y'all gotta stop vulgarizing the word "classic". A classic is a widely praised album, being high regarded both by the critics and the fans, almost consensually. Also, it has to be impactful and influence a significant number of artists within the culture. College dropout, MMLP, Only God Can Judge Me, To Pimp a Butterfly, Reasonable Doubt etc. are some examples of classics. MMLP2 is a good record but it doesn't fall into the category of a classic, imo.

    As a whole it's a great album. It really isn't lacking anything.
    Wordplay, similes, metaphors, double/triple entendres, great internal rhyme, external rhyme, mosaic rhyming, awesome multisyllabic rhyming as usual, lots of refreshing subject matter as well. This is Em's most self aware album to date. The album is fucking genius because it shares many of the same themes as the first MMLP but it is also the bi-polar opposite to its' predecessor. The MMLP Em was enraged, angry, saying "fuck you" to critics and saying whatever he wanted. Whenever people tried to point fingers at him he just blamed Shady. But from the songs Bad Guy, Asshole, Evil Twin, etc. we see Em coming to terms with himself completely taking responsibility for his actions. Admitting that the hate he spewed was a result of the bullies he endured throughout his life and... involuntarily through this self therapy (which he calls music) he himself became the "bully" in the process. It's this kind of self acknowledgement that makes Em a genius. He pretty much admits Marshall and Slim are one in the same. That takes balls. To do that and forgive/apologize his mother after ripping on her for sooo long is insane. The MMLP2 is really the perfect final chapter for Em. Even the track Stronger Than I Was plays as a great opposite to the track Kim of the original MMLP. The MMLP2 really doesn't get enough credit.

    It's best if you get the deluxe edition where you get 5 bonus tracks that should've replaced certain songs on the 'actual' album. I personally hate the rock and oldies sampled beats..too Kid Rock-esque...they are beats that IMO no one other than eminem coulda rapped over. Lyrically he was still A+, but I really wish i could've heard more beats like Bad Guy, Rap God and especially Groundhog Day. Wish Dre had some beats on this album, Dre's beats on MMLP made it the classic it was. Either way i'd give this a Solid 8, basically because Eminems beat choice doesnt change the fact that he's still A+ on lyrics and flow.

    Eminem's flow is consistently good on all of his albums. I call it this way:
    SSLP: 8/10 (banging commercial debut)
    MMLP: 9/10 (amazing stories)
    The Eminem Show: 9.5/10 (tracks like Drips prevented its 10)
    Encore: 4/10 (what the fuck? Big Weenie lol)
    Relapse: 6/10 (aight better than Encode by a lot)
    Recovery: 8/10 (evolved Eminem shows here beyond his pop sound)
    MMLP2: 8/10 (underestimated by some, great flows and cohesive)

    Em's albums have always been filled with high highs and low downs for me. Bad Guy is one of my all time favs songs. Legacy is almost unlistenable to me. Funny how he gave a shoutout to Phife because ATCQ is a great example of a group that has albums with tracks that are consistently good. It's impossible for me to listen to an Em album without at least one or two skips.
    So I believe the score is super fair. Stans need to sit back for a little and be honest with themselves... would you really give every single track a 10/10 on this album?

    I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but I actually like this album better than the first MMLP. While very little on here matches up to the entire first half of MMLP1, it just feels more consistent in terms of quality and only slows down once Stronger Than I Was kicks in before finally gaining back some momentum with So Far. With MMLP1, the second half of the album just feels weaker to me compared to the first half, which contains classics like "Stan", "The Real Slim Shady", and "The Way I Am" as well as solid tracks like "Kill You", "Remember Me?", and "I'm Back". The only standout tracks to me after the awful Ken Kaniff skit were "Kim" and "Criminal". "Drug Ballad", "Amityville", and "Bitch Please II" (while decent standalone stracks) just don't work for me in context of the album, while "Under the Influence" feels shoehorned in to feature D12. With MMLP2, there was no time wasted and every track feels like it belongs on the album (except for Stronger Than I Was). In the end, none of the individual songs are replacing his classics any time soon, but as a listening experience from beginning to end, MMLP2 is very well constructed and rarely loses momentum. 9/10

      The Eminem Show (8/10)
      Recovery (6.5/10)
      Relapse (4/10)
      Encore (0.5/10)
      EDIT: Had a change of heart and decided the original will always be better objectively. I still think MMLP2 is as good as I made it out to be, but I was being too harsh on those out-of-place moments on MMLP1.

MMLP is superior to this album and they should not be put in the same sentence when it comes to which is better. I did enjoy MMLP2, but your delusional if you believe mmlp2 was better then mmlp, TES , and sslp.
