MMLP2 General Discussion

[Mathers]

I love that bridge on ''Brainless''.

[DetroitSkills]

Honestly every verse on Brainless is fucking fire. The rhyme schemes in the first one

But this part is probably the best:

"Inappropriate, so be it, I don't see it
Maybe one day when the smoke clears, it won't be as
Mothafucking difficult, ch-yeah, 'til then, hopefully ya
Little homos get over your fears and phobias
It's okay to be scared straight, they said I provoke queers
'Til emotions evoke tears, my whole career's
A stroke of sheer genius, smoke and mirrors, tactical, practical jokes, yeah
You mothafuckin' (insert insult here)
Who the fuck would've thunk that one little ole MC'd
Be able to take the whole culture and re-upholstery it?"

Some of those lines. WHEW.

i love rappin that part, flow so filthy

[Francesco]

Rhyme or Reason all day today...

Completely, despondent and condescending
The king of nonsense and controversy is on a beat killing spree
Your honor, I must plead guilty, cause I sparked a revolution
Rebel without a cause who caused the evolution
Of rap, to take it to the next level, boost it
But several rebuked it, and whoever produced it

bumpin it today too, love the beat, so crisp

Full of such blind rage I need a seein' eye dog
Can't even find the page I was writing this rhyme on
Oh it's on the ram-page, couldn't see what I wrote I write small
It says, "Ever since I drove a '79 Lincoln with whitewall, had a fire in my heart
And a dire desire to aspire to Die Hard"
So as long as I'm on the clock punching this time card
Hip-hop ain't dying on my watch

Outsold the sellouts

that scheme

[Whitefox]

Oh, Rhyme Or Reason is probably my favourite song on the album. This organ part in the back of the 3rd verse is . I like the little atmosphere that it gives to a song for a couple of seconds.

[DaKane]

Just noticed that Rolling Stone by Black Hippy also samples time of the season

Top 5 for me indeed, great storytelling

[kasia]

Nice to see Rhyme Or Reason is getting some love. Great track.

So, 4 months down the line...did Marshall Mathers LP 2 live up to its name?

I vote

Captured the man as he is now, proved that technically his skills are still probably unrivalled (Rap God), proved his ear for hit records and recaptured that lightning trapped in a bottle, twice, the magic that started it all....almost.

3 months, not 4. Yes, it did.

I love how he sounds during this part:

"I walk around like a space cadet, place your bets
Who's likely to become a serial killer
Case of Tourettes, fuck, fuck-fuck!
Can't take the stress,
I make a mess as the day progresses
Angry and take it out on the neighbors hedges
Like this is how I'll cut your face up bitches
With these hedge trimmin' scissors with razor edges,
Imagination's dangerous it's the only way to escape this mess
and make the best of this situation, I guess"

It sounds so good and angry as hell but without screaming, it's why I love it. That's the real Slim Shady.

[Francesco]

I really love at the end of the bridge on "Brainless" how it's like, "oooohhhh!"

Fantastic.

I know man... Brainless overall is a great track as well. I hope we'll hear more songs outta that batch too... now is the right time for Swift & Kuniva to push the hardest for a verse.
