    he shouldn't have called it mmlp2 and i think he would have gotten a better reaction out of people

    I listened to it like yesterday or more days ago and I just bumped it again today. I really think it's best Eminem we got since he came back. No accents or no stupid female hooks makin it unlistenable and also production is definitely better than Recovery's. Flow is also smoother. Content is better than Recovery and Relapse. Like you said it really a sequel to MMLP 2. Real classic to me...

    Content wise I believe recovery has it beat. He talked about what he went through in his absence. With mmlp2, he really beat his childhood to death. Perhaps he was seeing a shrink or something while he was writing and he was venting but I honestly don't want to hear anything else about his childhood going forward haha.

    His next album needs to be a concept album. One that is excited well, get away from talking about him and have fun with something.

    Decent album. A lot of people who call it bad now said it was above average before, they just can't say anything positive about him

    On the other hand, people calling this a classic, lol. It has
    - a horrible 3rd verse on legacy,
    - a s-----y 2nd verse on berzerk
    - horrible singing verses on stiw
    - a s--- song called Survival
    - horrible hook/beat on a------
    - cringe lines on So Much Better
    -

    And more, enough to make it not even remotely close to being a classic. Even the songs that are good or even great have questionable lines

    That said, it's my favourite album after his first three and I like some songs a lot.

    Still okay, but it kinda wore down it's replay value exponentially.

    I duno I still prefer Recovery over anything else he's done post-comeback. With Recovery he made music that was relevant to the time, the rest he's just tryna get back to something that he's not anymore and it feels like a gimmick.

    i think MMLP2 was more of his personality tbh. Recovery seemed like they were trying to appeal the masses way too much. its a good album..but generic imo.

    MMLP2 had more of Em's style especially the songs not he bonus cd. still don't get why they didn't make the actual album #blamepaul

    I also thought it was flat out classic album at first, but my initial "new album hype" died down & i then started to see the album for what it is.

    Now, i'd consider it a 7/10 album. I really like the aesthetic diversity of this album (so many different producers & features lending so many different vibes to the album), but, because of that, the album feels like it's all over the place imo, i get more of a compilation feel than an album feel with MMLP2. To add to that, there's tracks (either aesthetically, or subject wise) that stray so far from the MMLP "feel", that it leaves me wondering why this album was even titled MMLP2.

    Because he named the album MMLP2, i (and many others from what i've noticed) naturally compare it to the original MMLP, and notice that it doesn't really live up to the original. But when looking at the album for what it is alone, judging it on it's own merits (& pretending its not an MMLP sequel), i think it's still a pretty d--- good piece of work.
