I'm so disappointed by how fucking generic the beat sounds (generic like LTWYL, but the lyrics on LTWYL are at least good).

And how generic Rihanna's chorus is (it was actually decent on LTWYL)...that may as well be every chorus she's ever done in the last six years.

And finally...Eminem's flow. Boring as fuck. He's trapping himself by trying to maintain a rhyme scheme for entire verses, whether it be the straight A-A in the first verse or the A-B one he attempts in the last verse. Sigh. Why can't he write like how he naturally talks?

I still have hope and I can't wait to sit back, turn the lights off, put my headphones on, put the album on and listen to it from top to bottom. :flutter:

I think it will be amazing and The Monster will be completly dislocated from the album
Just skip that and you are good to go

You shouldn't have to dissect a song to see whether you lke it or not though.

Well the masses of buyers who only care about radio songs will definitely buy this so it was necessarily anyway... I couldn't listen to it more than 2 times though.

Rap God only amplifies how terrible this song is!

I love Rap God because that's how I imagined this album was going to sound like.

As long as there's a few more such gems, it will be alright, but Em is capable of so much more than this pish.


So now you're assuming that the rest of the album is like The Monster...

That's why I'm OK with that song, eventhough it disgustes me
I've only listened to it once and that's all for today

My 12 year old neice loves this already so should do well with the wee teeny boppers, I wasn't impressed, was hoping for a storytelling song like Stan or Love you more, still got high hopes for the album

Tbh I feel exactly like city fan. I'm not supporting this album. I'll buy Rap God on iTunes because I genuinely do like that song but the other three we've heard are forgettable.

It's fucking embarrassing that he's calling this album MMLP2

Remember Me is fucking dope. Under The Influence is the worst song on the album imo but still shits on Monster.


Meh, both are average to me and even worse on their own.

I hate Remember Me :zipped:

yeah i really hope this song can suffice to serve its purpose - hitting #1 on billboard, getting a shitload of radio play - otherwise, it would be a lose-lose situation lol (too much a poppy record, most of us are disappointed, Em compromised his own style) personally i'm not even sold, and this is coming from someone who actually does enjoy a lot of the songs they play on the radio. i honestly cannot even get past the first seconds of it cuz it reminds me so much of something nicki minaj would do.

somebody leak the entire album please.
