As was thinking why I and others love the Eminem Show so much and then I realized what makes it so special. The Eminem Show was actually Eminem's show. He wrote, performed and produce almost the whole thing. It had his imprints all over and everything was wonderfull about from the rhymes to the flows to the beat. It felt really personal not only because of the subject matter, but because of the fact that he was rapping on his own beat.
Now, R2 is suppose to be a little bit serious and maybe perhaps, reminiscent of The Eminem Show. But when I hear that Just Blaze will have 3-4 songs on it and DJ Premier might have on too and Alchemist too, althought they are wonderfull producers and more exprienced than Em, I know it just won't feel the same.
So that's why even if the beats and the rhymes and the flows of R2 are better, it just won't feel as special, at least to me.
