MMLP2 General Discussion

[SliK]

The first half isn't great imo but the last verse is awesome

[JamaicanPattlez]

Yo, Love Game is fuckin' brilliant.

Don't get the hate tbh. I can see being caught off guard and disappointed cause it's not what you expected, but it's not a bad song by any means.

[Squiggles123]

Holy shit.

What a day...wake up absolutely fucked yacking, check to see the album has leaked. Mates sister drives me home I quickly buy Em tickets for the melbourne gig and then download the album. Just had my first listen, front to back.

I'm a fan! It's definitely worthy of being MMLP2 sequel if you ask me. Headlights was some pretty honest shit. Evil Twin is dope, Love Game...I need more time to take it all in.

[Man In The Mirror]

I feel it's a "MMLP" with the "Recovery"-formula.
It has some "Recovery"-ish beats and a lot of singers on the hooks. But the lyrics
are very, very impressive. I like this ten times more then "Encore" and "Recovery".
I'm not sure it beats "Relapse" tho. I have to give it a few more spins. I feel the
album is very inconsistent because of the hooks and beats and some of the lyrics.
I'll break this albums down like this:

1. Bad Guy - Amazing song. It gives me tears in the eyes and goosebumps.
Truly a worthy sequel to Stan. Score: 9/10.

2. Parking Lot (skit) - Amazing skit. I wouldn't change it for anything and it
really gives a "MMLP"-vibe (obviously). 10/10.

3. Rhyme Or Reason - Excellent. I love the sample and everything about it.
Finally a song about his father and the way he twists it with his different
personas is amazing. Score: 8/10

4. So Much Better - A song for the ladies. Very funny song. I love the good
ol' misogynistic Shady. Nothing to dislike on this either. Score: 7/10.

5. Survival - This is where the album suffers. I like the lyrics on the second
verse but the other verses, beat and the hook is awful. I can't stand the song
and it fucks up the flow of the album. Score: 2/10

6. Legacy - A song about how he got into rap and his childhood. I'm not a fan
on the hook but other then that the song is a masterpiece. Nice to hear a serious
song about his childhood. Score: 8/10.

7. Asshole - Amazing verses but I'm not a huge fan of the beat but I guess it's OK.
I hate the hook. I can enjoy this song because of the verses being really good
and funny. Score: 6/10.

8. Berzerk - This song is awful. Not super bad beat but not my style. The lyrics
and hooks is so boring. This song also fucks up the flow of the album for me. Score: 2/10.

9. Rap God - Not my type of beat but on this song it doesn't matter. I guess he
had to choose a beat like this to flow in all these different speeds. He really
shows he's the Rap God on this song. Score: 9/10.

10. Brainless - My favorite song of the album. AMAZING samples, beat, lyrics, flow.
EVERYTHING. And a very funny, fitting hook is there to. Vintage slim, bitch! Score: 10/10.

11. Stronger Then I Was - A song for Kim, I guess. He can't sing. I like the
production tho and the part where he's actually rapping is pretty good but the
singing parts are awful. Pretty good lyrics and you feel his pain but... he can't sing!
It's nice to hear a full song about Kim again, and a very honest one. Score: 5/10.

12. The Monster – The worst song of the album. I hate it with passion.
The beat and hooks is just unlistenble. Even tho the lyrics touches on
some interesting subjects I can't fully appreciate them because of the beat
and hook. It fucks up the flow on the album again. Score: 1/10.

13. So Far... - This should be the first single. It's funny and catchy: everything "Berzerk"
was supposed to be. I get “The Real Slim Shady” vibes from this. I like it a lot. Score: 8/10.

14. Love Game - I feel the same with this one as with "So Far...". I don't
really like Kendrick on this one but Em is doing really good. The only beef I
have with this one is where it's placed on the album. It's too similar to “So Far...”
to be directly after it. But I like the song, indeed. Score: 7/10.

15. Headlights - It's nice with an honest song to his mother. The lyrics are brilliant.
I love them. But why the hell is there a random pop-star singing on it? Why bring
in a pop-star robot to sing on a song this personal? It really fucks the song up for me.
It's fuckin' up the flow again, only because of the hook. It could’ve been a classic. Score: 7/10

16. Evil Twin – An amazing song again. The beat, hook and verses is amazing.
He's so EVIL! It gives me goosebumps. Vintage slim shit right here. And he sums up
the album nice at the end by saying he and his evil twin is the same person and as
evil as the other. Really nice closure of the album (and catalog?). Score: 10/10.

To sum it up:
If he did skipped “Survival”, “Berzerk” and “The Monster”, rapped more on "Stronger The I Was"
and made a new hook for "Headlights" I would have liked it more than "Relapse". Maybe even more
than "The Eminem Show". Now I feel like it's very close behind "Relapse" and far, far ahead of
"Encore" and "Recovery" but it's inconsistency really hurts the album a lot and the pop-star hooks does to.

Average score: 6,81.

yesterday was such an awesome day .
First album circle - i love it !

[cityfan31]

Fuck. The last 20 seconds of Bad Guy are hard to listen to.

Been a while since music made me feel like that.

[OutlawƎ]

I enjoy Bad Guy more than Cold wind blows , my name is , 3AM , maybe even kill you tbh .

[OutlawƎ]

"Yeah he has gone pussy on it. He needs to be on drugs to be respected by true hip hop heads sobre he just spits mediocre bullshit"
^ YouTube comment .
how retarted are these people ?

[SliK]

I really enjoyed The Legacy.

I loved the beat (sounds like a beat Em would rap over 10 years ago) and the fact he kept the same rhyme scheme throughout.

[Squiggles123]

Dre doesn't have a beat on here does he? I've only had one listen so far but I didn't notice one.

[Troll]

Dre doesn't have a beat on here does he? I've only had one listen so far but I didn't notice one.

He is only listes as executive producer and that probably just to have his name at the album.
He didnt even mix a song i think.
He probably had NOTHING to do with this album.

[kkaniff]

Legacy is just brilliant. It seems like my vocabulary since the leaks seems to be restricted to "brilliant" and "fuuuuck".
I'm on my fourth listen, still loving it.

[B.A.D.]

Production credits anyone?

[SoldierShady]

Still didn`t listen to it. I see people hating it. But I also see people loving it. Now I`m even more hyped.

I admire your mental strength sir. Bahaha. But maaan, you'll be blown away, trust me on this. I gave the whole album about three spins then deleted it. I'll listen to it again on the 5th when I get the CD and bonus tracks.

[voice23]

Well shit, I missed out. I had class and work yesterday evening. Just got off work. It leaked when I was barely coherent. I downloaded a shitty version and listened to it on these 10 dollar shit headphones. I could barely hear Em. So.... how did it turn out? Can some one link me up to a good quality download of the album?
