People were calling it classic after listening to 4 tracks (WBD and T2M, ffs) and everybody was almost cumming on the keyboard. It was just the thirst for new Em music? Do y'all think it's gonna happen when MMLP2 releases?
Yes.
I have been on here for years prior to setting up an account (I was hysterical after seeing #MMLP2 on Twitter and eventually made my account).
It's the same pattern. When Relapse came out, everyone thought it was phenomenal. Then everyone thought it was shit, Recovery came out and everyone loved it. Then after the hysteria died downed everyone thought that was shit and that Relapse was great again.
Everyone will love the MMLP2 at first, then the criticisms will start and in retrospect Recovery will go right up in people's estimations.
Tbh if Em fucks this up he will have lost a ton of credibility. He can't keep releasing music and then bashing it on his next album (calls Encore and Relapse "shit" and on My Life "I almost wish I never made Recovery").
This is a sequel to the most controversial album of the past 15-20 years. If he nails it, he's an absolute God. If this flops, he'll find it very hard to recover again.
One thing's for sure, no one can fault the man's balls to produce a Marshall Mathers LP sequel at this point in his career. Let's just hope the risk pays off and we can get an album that the fans and Em will be very happy with.
