    I like MMLP2, but I disagree.

    However, well written without acting like a stan. Not sure how anyone could hate on this except for the title.

    Mmlp2 is Eminem's worst album by far. Every song on that album is bad/mediocre. Even Bad guy and Evil Twin s---. It's basically an old man stuttering over wack beats for more than an hour. Even Encore is so much better than it.

    Flow wise he has declined ALOT.
    I feel like right at this moment it could be mostly due to the production on sslp is obv outdated. Glad to see a thread titled this and not some blind EMINEM RIGHT NOW IS THE GOAT type s---. I prefer SSLP because nostalgia and i prefer the s--- he talked about then and the flow.

    Production, mixing and lyrics on MMLP have been done to perfection. MMLP2 is mediocre with a few gems. The production on MMLP2 leaves wanting and I feel he could have done a more cohesive album with a more focused sound.

    For example, what if he went in the direction of Bad Guy, Evil Twin, Brainless? An album like that would have a dark presence, shrouded in villainy and with shades of Slim Shady. I feel Survival, Berzerk and Stronger Than I Was took away from the album. They're either fun, party or crappy which takes away from that dark edginess. I think The Monster should have been on the deluxe edition and especially Survival. These song placements take away from MMLP2 and stopped it from what was going to be a good B+ album to a C+/B-

    Bad Guy and Evil Twin are absolutely amazing songs. Great lyrics and storytelling.

    Absolutely disagree.

    Terrible productions with some horrid corny lines. I'd take Rainman over those songs any day

    Forgive me if I put you on the spot but please explain how any part of the production involved here can be terrible? Corny lines is preferably your own opinion I guess but production?...

    I know I got an unpopular opinion when it comes to Encore.
