Worst fears about MMLP2???

[NotFinished]

Alex da Kid or Sklylar. Dude over used her.
Also not to many pt 2s. I want this album to be a continuation not a style bitter album

[Henry The Waffle Boy]

Hope he at least produces some of his own songs.

[Relevancy]

I relistened to Ridaz.... man oh man these are the type of songs that make you think he still has it, I pray to god he has beats like these.. not to mention he rode the beat to perfection, like a god.

[Henry The Waffle Boy]

Let's hope he brings the Dead Wrong flow.

I have a lot, so I'll just list them from my least worry to my greatest worry:
5: Too many producers, I don't know if they'll fit Em's style. I trust Rick and Dre, but I'm not sure about the other 2
4: Too many rock influenced beats like Berzerk and Survival; one or two are fine, like sing for the moment in TES, but I don't wanna be listening to a rock album.
3: What he's rapping about. I'm afraid he's just gonna rap about recovering from drugs and being serious. I'd much rather have the album vintage slim.
2: Too many female popstars. Dido was good in Stan, and at the same time didn't overpower the song. I really didn't like LTWYL because of Rhianna. The song would've been decent if slim did the chorus.
1: Lyrics. Lyric-wise Berzerk wasn't that good. He had some clever punchlines, but that's about it. The beats saved it, and it's catchy. I hope the albums better lyric-wise. Berzerk's a pretty good single though.

I make beats and rap myself and if I want to put some rock drums on a song that doesn't make it a rock song, it might just help convey the mood or atmosphere of the song you're trying to get across.

My fear of MMLP2 is that it won't meet the extremely high standards set from the comparisons to the MMLP.

Song's like Criminal, for instance is a 10/10, but I'm not sure he can capture the same feeling, flow and ideas of that again. I don't know what he can talk about to capture the "vintage Slim" style and persona again, dressing like it is one thing, but the vocals and content is really what will make or brake this.

I'm not very familiar with Rick Ruban but from what I have read, people are worried he may bring to much of a rock influence to the album, which is not necessarily a bad thing, giving that it will only be 1 or 2 songs that have a heavy rock inluence behind them and if they are great song in general, I don't see that being a problem. But a whole album like that may hurt it.

Too many features. I want 95% him (verses and hooks) I don't want any pop star colabs. The only female collab that would be good is if we get a real treat and have a Stan part 2 with Dido, the primary focus being Stans little brother, all grown up. I would love a Proof and Nate Dogg feature (he's gotta have a ton of unheard proof verses in the vault). I would also love a Bitch Please 3.

Not enough celeb bashing. He's going back to vintage slim, so it wouldn't be complete if it never had slut/gay and celeb bashing the only way shady can do it (Criminal/Kill You). I want a media shit storm one more time.

The name itself is my worse fear....by saying that, I mean it's incredible that we are getting MMLP2 and I couldn't be happier but even without any information about the album, the name alone is a HUGE move and could be possibly fatal givin the comparisons that will be happening or it could become the next big classic and show us he can still pull off "Vintage Slim" 13 years later. If he named it anything else, yeah we would still have big expectations because its Eminem, but it wouldn't be compared to such a big album, which may hurt it even if it is a classic.

Lack of celeb bashing is not necessarily a bad thing. He tried that with We Made you and failed.

That's true, We Made You is an average song at best IMO. What I mean is, when I think of Shady, I think of no holds barred bashing, not necessarily celebs....but just saying shit to just piss (important) people off. He needs to have enough force behind his lines to not go unnoticed, something that will make the news again, I really want a huge polital song like Mosh or White America.

If you look at stand out songs on MMLP you have Stan and Kim. You cant copy this passion and emotion only mimic it, which would leave an empty feeling on the album if he was to try and copy the concepts. The only way this album can work is if the ideas are completely new and fresh. Lets hope his new ideas and passions are as fervorous as those on MMLP.

[Rock]

My worst fear is the features.

[Henry The Waffle Boy]

He also has to mention Christopher Reeves, I don't care if he finally settled the beef on Relapse's Medicine Ball, it's tradition, he just can't not do it.

Also a very classic line and highly offensive:

"I'm fashionable and 'bout as rational
as a rash on a fag's asshole"

Hahaha! If you're talking from your own perspective, maybe it's time to find a new genre of music to listen to.

[Rhan]

I fear pop hooks & Dumb features.

[slim-topic]

I just hope it's not a marketing strategy to make a sequel to the MMLP

[ringoffirejrc]

Too many pop hooks and lack of substance.
