    I know I’m in the minority but I truly think it’s better than the original and his second best album overall. There aren’t any missteps on the album and Brainless slaps

    As MMLP2 it was a massive let down, but like said above if the album was named differently it would have been received better and viewed much differently.

    Very little represents the original and I may have even enjoyed it more has it not shared the title. There was too much expectation naming it that.

    The majority of the first verse is f---ing dope imo. No doubt about it.

    Wasn’t ready to be no millionaire, i was ill prepared, I was prepared to be ill though, the skill was there,
    From the beginning it wasn’t bout the ends, it was bout bustin raps and standing for something, f--- an acronym,
    Cut the f---in act like you’re happy, im f---in back again
    With another anthem, why stop when it doesn’t have to end’

    So I went back and listened to this album front to back deluxe the other day mainly because of this thread, but I must say that this album has actually aged quite nicely, atleast the good songs have. I really think a name change would have made a difference in impact. But if Em had taken Groundhog Day, Beautiful Pain & Wicked ways and traded out the 3 worst songs on this album it would have made a huge difference. Kinda like with Encore and it’s bonus cuts. But man, Beautiful Pain I forgot how good that song actually is. Tbh one of the best songs on the album. Should have replaced Monster as the pop song of the album.

    Yeah true. I feel his verses were pretty strong considering it was designed to be radio friendly.

    Survival killed the hype immediately. MMLP2 with a track like survival still makes me cringe.

    Awful album

    His voice sucks, never sounded more bored on a record. The production is absolutely woeful, and the replay value of this album is his worst along with Revival. He truly hit a creative block with this album, it screams of desperation trying to recapture early days.

    Headlights should have been great.. It wasn't

    Legacy should have been great.. It wasn't (lmao that hook and last verse seriously?)

    Bad guy was a chore and the most forced thing he's ever done, last verse aside it's an embarrassment to the original Stan

    You have prime Kendrick on a record and THAT'S what you cook up? One of the worst beats he's ever rapped on and the cliche crazy relationship record. Boring

    a------, Bezerk, So Far, So Much Better, Survival are all terrible and should never have saw the light of day. Rhyme or Reason is okay, Brainless is also quite good, Evil Twin is s--- and it's a chore to sit through (like the album).

    The Monster - good song, bad cookie cutter pop production.. Wasted potential

    Rap God was cool when it first came out, but it birthed the fast flow which he overused to death and is about 2 minutes too long. The middle of the song is just s---

    The "good" tracks on this album are his worst good tracks on ANY album of his by far. Of course like any Em album it has its moments, but a lot of songs which should have been great or classic (legacy, headlights, monster, love game, bad guy, rap god) all fell flat. I couldn't wait for this album to finish, I have no clue why it's his best rated album critically after his comeback because its his worst.
