I, for one, have come to accept him as who he is now. Tbh Im just thankful he's still putting out good music given everything that he's went through. Especially that OD. Personally I think that's what 'changed' his style and taste in music/production. He has said himself in interviews he had to learn how to rap, speak, and use motor skills again.. The drugs really fucked him up. And for someone who had to do all that, given the complex lyrical schemes he uses, his status in hiphop etc. That has to be incredibly fucking difficult to do. People are saying he fell off. smh you really think after that massive drug OD he survived he would be the same?!
No, let them continue on about how a 41 year old man should have the same mentality as a 26 year old. If you think the album is going to be bad off one song, you're fucking retarded. You haven't even heard the whole thing yet. Should he have called it MMLP2? Only time'll tell. No point in crying over it though, if you don't like it, you don't like it. And if you think the album will suck, then your journey ends here, and you can go back to your life until Eminem decides to release another album.
. I mean I get that the point of the title was a reflection on the MODERN day Marshall Mathers & his life situations etc. etc. But I mean really, man? Plus what he said in that snippet interview from RS I feel contradicts something like The Monster. It's so obvious that it was a push from the label and nothing more. Yeah, em may have liked it and it hit home for him, but I think if the label had less or little to no creative control over him, Shit like Monster and Survival wouldn't have made the cut.
