MMLP2 General Discussion

[yoda you can call me]

That's part of the reason I have so much admiration for him.
It actually takes skill to be self aware enough to stay relevant in the way Em has. It's not a fluke. He knows what he's doing.

True he's certainly switched the fuck on, more than people give him credit for. I see fans (me included) saying things like "he should of done this or that", like we know more than Em does when it comes to his material. He knows more than what we mere onlookers can comprehend. Granted his drug days are up for dispute Cause he wasn't operating at his best. but when he's on his shit, everything he drops has it's purpose

This is what his manager aka Paul aka "the fat meaningless fuck who should die" is for.
Em would probably end up on YMCM after 2009 if Paul wasnt there to tell him what to do.

Yeah Eminem managed to stay relevant all these years later because he changes up his style and sound every few years. The diversity and uniqueness of his catalogue greatly contributes to his success and relevance imo.

His unique style & his diversity along with his crazy talent & even crazier charisma all together... those factors plus some others that aren't as important are the reason of his everlasting relevancy & longevity amongst the top artists.

Long story short:
Eminem is GOAT

You have a valid point but that might be subjective & makes everything very complicated so I never bother to look at it this way. He's without a doubt extraordinary & outta reach for almost everybody in this department regardless though...

^I heard that, second and third that

That line is great, awesome double meaning.
'They call me classless, I heard that. I second and third that.'
•People call him classless (as in tasteless), and he firmly agrees
•They call him classless (as in not in a class), and he second and thirds that. He failed 9th grade three times

Nice. I also thought it could kinda reflect where he's situated, as second/third class.

Em's lyrics & the layers in 'em fuck with our minds as they are often hard to figure out indeed...

Hope Interscope/Paul/Em wont be stupid and release the next single/video the same week Rih and Shakira are releasing theirs, 'cos I DGAF if Em was my own father, I'm not watching that shit.
Not even if it's Bad Guy.

Do you think Em can make an album better than MMLP2? This is album is great/classic for a lot of people. At this point of his career, after 8 albums and a lot of songs, after 14 years, he have touched every theme and proved with mmlp2 that he still is one of the best on the game, if not the best. Can he do a better album than mmlp2? for me is quite impossibile..
and talking about a concept album, for me mmlp2 is quite near to a concept album. Every song, of mmlp2 has something of mmlp1..maybe a rhyme, maybe some topics..every song on mmlp2 give you that nostalgia theme . It isn't a concept album like GKMC, maybe not near, but still did its job

[RSoares]

I think the only meaning is really the one that is on RapGenius. Rap helped him to fit more at school and in his neighbourhood

Idk, do you think could be anything else?

[yoda you can call me]

I actually believe his next album will be better than MMLP2.

I completely agree with that because MMLP2 is classic WOAT material

[RSoares]

If this is a new prime's beginning, I actually believe that could be better. It's hard, but c'mon this man released 3 fucking crazy albums in 4 years and surprised everyone. Yeah, it was his true prime, but no one expected a better album than SSLP and then an album that could even compare itself to MMLP and he did it. And I still believe he has what it takes to surprise us again.

And I'm curious now that he closed that personal business saga and he's back on his Slim Shady persona.

[LMShady]

If his last few albums are anything to go by then the next one is likely to suck. I only say that because...

Encore (bad reception)
Relapse (reasonably good reception)
Recovery (bad reception)
MMLP2 (reasonably good reception)

So the next one? I hope not. Personally I quite liked Recovery but it gets a lot of hate on here and elsewhere, hopefully it's only up from this album.

[kkaniff]

Recovery was better recieved than Relapse.

[RSoares]

By general audience, Relapse wasn't well received. That's why Em decided to record Recovery. And it was brilliantly received.

True, I guess it seems to be either everyone love Relapse and hates Recovery or vice versa. I'd say I'm in between.

[Mathers]

Recovery was better recieved than Relapse.

By the fans no.

[yoda you can call me]

My above statement was really a jk by the way . I truly believe, MMLP2, is the best album he's produced since TES. He really found some true inspiration for this project, his previous efforts where all necessary in order to get to this point. Now he's found his true ability again and at full confidence with his delivery, lyrics and even the way he moves, which he's demonstrated in his videos..

He could easily come out with some awesome shit that tops the MMLP2, but now that he's closed the chapter on his life, it's hard think what kind of album he will produce in the future

@Mathers
Do you mean the fans on internet forums? Because everyone I've met IRL think it's a great album.
