    No.

    But it's better than its given credit for, IMO. It was his best album since his return before Kami and Murdered.

    No, absolutely not. I'm sure the album would've been received better if it was named something original.

    Tbh? Writing was 10/10 on MMLP2, it's just execution of some songs, like for instance: a------ - top notch verses, but hook and beat were trash.

    i dont think it was supposed to sound like MMLP1. MMLP was supposed to reflect his life at the time. i think MMLP2 was great. i love that album. it was when he first started getting grasp on great wordplay, punchline, entendres and his scheme building. it had alot of good call backs to the original with
    bad guy,
    the parking lot skit,
    "im just playing ladies you know i love you"
    "six minutes slim shady youre on"
    the beat switch to "Im back" on so far.

    we got headlights to show where he was 13 years later with his views on his mom, people have said stronger than i was is from kims perspective idk if thats true but whatever. I think it showed him 13 years later, where he was with his views on things, the call backs, where he was with his skill set, how he wanted to rap. I think this album really brought light to his fan bases taste, in that it showed how much of his listeners were "casual" rap fans. and what i mean by that is People b---- about how "i cant rap along with the song, i miss his old flow" whatever. Em is a rappers rapper. it showed that most of his fans dont wanna listen if they cant "rap along" but it really showed how basic his flows were on his first 3 albums. ppl say he used to flow so effortlessly but thats bc it didnt take any effort to do those flows. it was basic kick and snare hitting. people that say hes off beat now have no idea how to count a bar or tap tempo. hes flow switching between kicks and snares, to the melody, to having his inner rhyme having a different cadence to the outter rhyme. It showed how much his writing on his previous albums lacked any wordplay and punchlines or entendres. It just showed his evolution and a group of fans who dont really think, or care to look for that kind of word play in music. which is cool, nothing wrong with that, if thats what you like. But all the legendary rappers big EM up bc of what his doing with his pen now. Just like on Revival i could do without alot of those songs but his writing and rapping is top tier on there. I think thats why he gets frustrated, bc hes all about rapping. and hes been having to deal with the fact that some people only care about beats, or the vibe, or how easily they can nod their head to it. Ive been around since EM came out in 99 and ill rock MMLP2, Revival (WOW, Believe, Chloraseptic,Framed,Castle,Arose, In your head) Kamikaze and MTBMB any day over the SSLP- recovery.

    Not at all. He f----- it.

    It survives the feeling of feeling 'really terrible' like Revival because - his rapping on it is so good, some of his best ever, and there are some great songs. The whole album actually, it's a fun ride.

    But it's so lacking in any one or defining sound, it's got A&R Engineered songs (of all the albums... doing it on a MMLP sequel is just unforgiveable) and it's a very insecure album -like Revival - he just tried to give a little bit of everything to everybody. MMLP isn't that, it's one feel, one vibe and it is uncompromising.

    "Rap God" felt - genuinely like - 'okay... this is MMLP2'. The topics, his humour, the intesity and the authenticity. If he could have carried across those themes to everything - musically... it could have been special. But he didn't, he f----- it.

    Praise where praise is due... this a 10/10 verse.

    I'm the epitome, and the prime example
    of what happens when the power of the rhyme
    Falls into the wrong hands and
    Makes you want to get up and start dancin'
    Even if it is Charles Manson
    Who just happens to be rappin', blue lights flashin'
    Laughin' all the way to the bank, lampin' in my K-Mart mansion
    I’m in the style department
    With a pile in my cart, rippin' the aisle apart but
    With great power comes
    Absolutely no responsibility for content
    Completely despondent and condescending
    The king of nonsense and controversy is on a
    Beat-killing spree, Your Honor
    I must plead guilty, 'cause I sparked a revolution
    Rebel without a cause who caused the evolution
    Of rap, to take it to the next level, boost it
    But several rebuked it, and whoever produced it

    ("Hip-hop is the Devil's music")

    Does that mean it belongs to me?
    'Cause I just happen to be a white honky devil with two horns
    That don't honk but every time I speak you hear a beep
    But lyrically I never hear a peep, not even a whisper
    Rappers better stay clear of me, b----, 'cause it's the—
