Very, very little thing I don't like about MMLP2

[AAAAAAAAAAND]

The beat is never allowed to just run for a little while at the beginning or at the end. The only time it happens is for 5 seconds at the beginning of Rhyme or Reason. Any other time Em isn't rapping, the beat is watered-down or has no drums so it doesn't actually sound like a beat. I know letting the beat run doesn't add anything substantial to the song, but Em has done it on all his other albums and I just like it for some reason. It makes the song more badass.

It's funny you bring this up because one of the first things I noticed on my first listen was how all the songs are edited sharply like you said. I don't think it's that big of a deal but it would've made some of the better beats shine more.

It's definitely not a big deal. I like the album virtually no less than I would otherwise, but like you said, the beats on certain songs should have been showcased a bit.

What's funny is that one of the first things I noticed about the album was that the songs didn't drag on with long intros or outros. I like it. I see what you mean, but really long intro/outros piss me off. Maybe a little bit of that would have been cool on some songs though.

berzerk drum intro amirite

Is that one of the reasons you're not fond of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy?

Genuine question..

[AAAAAAAAAAND]

I don't know. I can't think of an example, but do you know what I mean? Same goes for choruses that drag on for too long. It really bugs me for some reason.

I agree there's a science to it. It needs to go on just long enough or else it'll be a waste of time. Like Seduction has too long of an intro in my opinion, but something like Superman is great.

Edit: @Blogs...No I don't dislike it, it just never struck me as the 11/10 mindblowing masterpiece people make it out to be. I'm determined to listen again someday in hopes of it "clicking" for me.

It clicked for me by around the 3rd listen I believe

this reminds me of all the complaining people did when he started editing out his breathing

[Mr Change]

Yep, noticed this on first listen. I don't like it. Some of these songs/beats are practically made for a little outro but eh, its whatever

[sbolli1]

I actually noticed this awhile back.

Might be a result of his Rick collaboration, Rick loves the minimalism.
