Eminem - MMLP 2 - NOV. 5, 2013 NO SNIPPET DISCUSSION

[RealSickLindley]

TRex, I know what you're saying, but that's like saying, 'don't look forward or anticipate good things' as well. If you think bad things might happen, you might look for them. If you think good things are going to happen, and they don't, you might be very upset.

It's human nature, neither is better or worse.

We've all just got to be honest with ourselves when D Day is here. Whatever the material, they'll be some in denial of anything bad, whilst some will pick and put down on a certain motive.

We all just have to enjoy a discussion before the storm.

I wish people would stop worrying about what might be bad about the album, because they're gonna listen to it looking for those things so they can bitch about them. Go into the album thinking absolutely nothing about you're probably gonna like it a lot more. Nitpicking doesn't do any good for you.

I don't think most of us are intentionally nitpicking. I think most of us grew up on Em and are used to his flawlessness early on in his career.

I don't mind Rihanna collabs, I don't mind outside production, I don't mind female hooks. So long as his lines are sharp.

I think we're entitled to have concerns in that respect given some of his recent stuff post Recovery.

I love Lighters.

me too. i dont get the hate on that. bruno mars is a talented artist. i don't listen to him but i can see the difference between him and genereic pop acts

I just think the pairing was off. You have a group called Bad Meets Evil, every other song on the album is raw. It felt out of place. Maybe as a bonus track or something, but it killed the vibe for me being in the middle of the album.

I don't mind Bruno Mars as an artist. I'm not one of those people that flip any time Em collabs with a pop act. In fact, if I could pick one artist for Em to work with right now, it would be Lana Del Rey. Born To Die is incredible, she's dark and edgy, has a versatile voice. If Em collabed with her I would be hospitalized after collapsing from sheer shock.

Having said that, some pop collabs work, some don't, which is why I fear Headlights.

good piont. it was very light for the tone of the entire piece, but it didnt take anything away from it, for me. plus it was only an ep, so they didnt form it like it would be an album. they needed something light to sell it aswell.. headlights could be dope, heres hoping

Subpar production, corny punchlines, inconsistency throughout it.

Corny punchlines are also a very real concern I have.

But Rap God showed promise. Stuff like massacre/mass occur was pretty good.

No it wasn't. It was horrible. You are not allowed to put something like that in a song called Rap God

So what wordplay is good to you than? The massacre line was subtle and smart. Anyone else does it, it's fine. Em does it, someone complains. Dude is literally not allowed to do any kind of punchline or wordplay without someone thinking its corny.

[Arrinef]

I hate you all.

deja vu post

[croatia]

off topic: do people hate "without me" song or what? it doesnt sound popish to me at all neither does jl

That's not what he was saying. He said go in with a blank slate in mind. Don't look for small things, good or bad. And don't expect the album to be good or bad. Just listen.

[Kill You]

Okay, hating on the massacre line? Now you guys just hating to hate. That line is dope, you fuckers.

[RealSickLindley]

I agree with the content. However, i'm hoping that The Monster changes that.

[VINTAGƎ]

No it wasn't. It was horrible. You are not allowed to put something like that in a song called Rap God

Haha. Well I thought it was good. It didn't sound as forced as spaghett-EVEN!

He didn't have to use an accent to make it rhyme.

He didn't change the pronunciation to make it work.

Mass occur/massacre -- they're both pronounced the same way.

It just sounded smoother than some other stuff is all I'm saying.

[kkaniff]

I'm pretty sure that on Rap God he's saying that he's a Rap God.

[TRickster]

Fuck you haters.

Marshall is a veteran in this game. He's chosen the best to be on his team for this album. I'm sure they've produced nothing short of amazing because Em's smart enough to know that the bar is high if he's going in with a sequel.

[Crazee]

I hate how some people cringe at every single bit of wordplay Em uses, no other rapper is held to this standard. Especially when Eminem was never a punchline rapper. He was witty and said funny/cool things but he was mostly slick with how outlandish he was. He was never a Jadakiss/Fabolous punchline artist.

People are so critical of everything he does, and not other legends.

[Raul]

I'm pretty sure that on Rap God he's saying that he's a Rap God.
