    Also if you remember the Chronic 2001 was released in 1999 so that was definitely an oversight

    On the song Survival. "Wave 'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuff."
    You can't dislocate a rotator cuff. You can only tear it since its muscle.

    This is a huge mistake unless there is a deeper meaning to it

    Genius explains it:
    November has 30 days. Eminem might say November 31st to show that this song is not entirely based in reality. Just like the 31st, this might be fictional and may never have happened.
    Moreover, Em says earlier in the song,
    I felt like our whole relationship was a lie
    Saying November 31st would reinforce the statement of the relationship being a lie.

    Anyone else ever find songs that are supposed to lead in to each other out of place. I just recently realized that My Darling should be track 2 on Relapse. If you listen to Dr.West and then My Darling, the chainsaw starts at the end of West skit and goes through to my darling song, and also biggest point, alarm clock at the end of Dr.West and my darling em wakes up yawning.

    That would mean you would have to keep waving forever, not an error

    Because My Darling didn't fit with the serial killer vibe. That's the official explanation, it would have been perfect if it were the first song after intro and then the serial killer stuff starts as Shady won.

    Mistakes from Eminem albums:
    • SSLP, Too much filler
    • MMLP, Ken Kaniff skit, Kim
    • TES, Drips, Say What You Say
    • ENCORE, rushed album, not serious about his music, the start of his downfall
    • RELAPSE, Accent
    • RECOVERY, Yelling, punchlines, tryna be down with the young crowds
    • MMLP2, Pointless album, a marketing ploy by Interscope
    • REVIVAL, Another pointless album, getting found out amongst his peers that he's past it
    • KAMIKAZE, embarrassing

    This is the biggest mistake of his entire career tbh. If MMLP2 was called anything other than that it wouldn't get the hate it gets. It would still be a 6or7/10 album but it wouldn't be hated.

    Would you feel better if his hair was blonde and he always wore white t shirts and baggy sweats with a bandana?

    Or maybe he just wanted to grow a beard. I know, weird isn’t it. I think the same thing about my neighbors beard and how he wants to hide his fat face. Beards are so obvious a disguise. Trump should deport beards. Then Eminem can finally release those 10 diss tracks he has in the vault.

    Doing songs with Skylar Grey, Alex Da Kid and Rick Rubin but rejecting instrumentals from Pete Rock, DJ Premier and The Alchemist is the biggest error of his career. Just imagine how phenomenal MMLP2 could've been if it had actual hip hop beats produced by these legends. And dude actually hit the studio with No I.D initially for what was later called MMLP2.

    I'm flabbergasted by his production choices.

    Eminem's biological father -- who the rapper frequently rapped about abandoning him -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

    Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. died this week near Fort Wayne, Indiana ... according to family members and neighbors. A family source tells us he apparently suffered a heart attack while at home.

    Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, has made no secret of his lifelong grudge against his father and rapped about never meeting him in person. His hit songs like "My Name Is" and "Cleanin' Out My Closet" reflect those feelings.


    According to Eminem's mother, Debbie ... Mathers Jr., who went by Bruce, married her when he was 22 and she was 15, and they had their son 2 years later. They split up shortly after, and Eminem and his mom settled in Detroit with her family while Bruce moved to California ... where he had 2 other kids.

    Eminem has said in interviews that he wrote letters to his dad as a child but they always came back "return to sender." The rapper said Bruce would sometimes call while family members were babysitting, but he would never actually talk to him on the phone.

    In 2001, Bruce published a letter addressed to his son in a newspaper explaining his side of the story -- that Eminem's mom kept him away. Still, Eminem apparently never got in contact with his father to reconcile.


    In "Cleanin' Out My Closet" ... Em rapped, "My fa***t father must've had his panties up in a bunch ‘Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye. No, I don't, on second thought, I just f**kin' wished he would die. I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture leavin' her side."

    Bruce Mathers was 67.
