During the 2013 MTV VMA's, Eminem announced the release of his upcoming album, MMLPII. It will be the sequel to his 2000 album, The Marshall Mathers LP. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 will be the rapper's eighth studio album by American rapper Eminem and will be released through Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records, and Interscope Records. Production for the album took place during 2011 to 2013, at several recording studios and was handled by various record producers, including himself, Rick Rubin, No ID and Dr. Dre.
Royce da 5'9" appeared on RapFix with his group Slaughterhouse, on August 30, 2012, and talked about what he has heard of the album in the moment. Royce told: "I'm not so sure how the world is going to respond from some of the things that I've heard from him". He also noted that the things he has heard gave him nightmares. Needles to say, this is one of the most anticipated albums of 2013.
Opinions have been split down the middle regarding the two first singles, Berserk and Survival. Listen to Survival below, which also features on the video game soundtrack for Call of Duty: Ghosts.
The track list, which can be found below, reveals the album is going to feature Skylar Grey, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and Nate Ruess.
Can’t wait for it!
the preview of berzerk doesnt sound too promising but i still have high hopes for this album.
What? Shit sounds dope
You kidding? Sounds nearly identical to what he’d put out in 2000.
the beat and his vocals kinda remind me of the beastie boys.
what 2000 song are you talking about cause i know for sure it doesnt sound like stan, kill you, way i am, bitch please2, marshall mathers, or real slim shady in terms of flow, beat, or vocal style.
rick rubin produced many of the bestie boys tracks. he also produced the beat for that song. sounds like 99 problems by jay z also produced by RR
I thought the same thing about the Beastie Boys. Not sure if you know this or not, but Eminem was/is a huge Beastie Boys fan. I wouldn’t be surprised if the song is a tribute to the late great MCA.
It actually sounds very similar to that entire album. Stan in particular when he’s rapping as Stan. It’s all about the delivery…crazy, almost yelling. He did the same thing in Stan. Go back and listen. Berzerk is pretty good…it’s growing on me. Definitely inspired by the Beasties and Run DMC.
…but its currently 13 years later
W T F you talking about? Berzerk was one of the best songs.. rest of the album is questionable (I’ve heard the leak)
Eagerly waiting for this!
Glad I caught this on the front page. Me and my bro have been waiting for a new album by him :)
So psyched to see how this one turns out!
So cold! Eminem is the GOAT!
The first single “Berzerk” just leaked in full
13 years later and still killin it.
so what site has it leaked on?
I think the new single is okay, i think i’ll have to wait and see how i like it after a while, however, it does go along with the title of the song.. its pretty berzerk, i’m excited to hear more from the album. OH by the way, The Hook was AWESOME. I was diggin that
I’m initially a fan of slim shady, but since he’s “dead” I’ll see what this album has in store for me.
Naming it MMLP2 is a very bold move. It’ll be interesting to see if it’ll live up to the first album.
that’s what I was thinking, if it does not live up to the hype and he ends his career after, it would be a terrible end to an otherwise legendary catalog. it almost has to be a classic if he’s going to name it after probably his best album. do you think he’s got one more classic album in him? Recovery was huge miss
I think he does have at least one good album left in him, but I don’t know if he has one “quite that good” album left in him.
LOL, Recovery was a “huge miss”? You’re literally the only person I’ve ever heard say that. Relapse was utter garbage but Recovery was brilliant in just about every way. You can personally dislike something but to make the sweeping statement that it was a “huge miss” is just laughable. it was very well received and sold extremely well.
Recovery was sellout garbage with Eminem’s worst lyrics to date, Relapse was too advanced for stupid fucks like you to understand. There is a reason why Dre wasn’t featured much on Recovery, his production is too mature for little babies, only little babies use iTunes.
You’re a fucking idiot who needs to grow up. The reason Relapse didn’t do well was because it was SHITTY and way, way too dark. Why do you think he even apologized for Relapse on his next album? He admits that he let the fans down and that the album sucked. But YOU can’t admit it… good for you. And what the fuck does itunes have to do with anything? I’ve never even used it. Sounds like you have a lot of growing up to do, little boy.
If you are too scared of the darkness on Relapse then man up, this is reality, this is how Eminem really feels about himself and the general concept of the album is very original.
Recovery is just a collection of pop garbage that was manufactured for profit, hence why everything he does is promoting a video game now because the main demographic for profit now is between the ages of 9-17, so Eminem stepped away from rapping about his true feelings and wrote music that empowered middle class american white kids.
It’s the most sellout move i’ve ever seen from an artist which is why i’m worried about MMLP2.
Eminem only “apologized” for Relapse because the kids weren’t buying it, they wanted the pop melodies back and he wanted a new mansion. The minute he released his music it became public domain, it isn’t up to him whether it’s good or not, otherwise every album he made would have been a masterpiece.
You think Recovery is better because it outsold Relapse?
One Direction outsold Pink Floyd, money is no measure of anything these days.
No, I didn’t say it was better BECAUSE it outsold Relapse, the opposite – it outsold Relapse because it was BETTER.
And it wasn’t better just because it was poppier, the songs were well-crafted, his skill was on display in a great way. It was honest and real, but in a more well-written, well-produced way. I can handle dark shit, but what I can’t handle is shit – that happens to be dark.
I would disagree just on the idea that it outsold Relapse because it was better. I agree that it was better than Relapse, but it outsold because Not Afraid and Love the Way You Lie were made to blow up the radio.
Anyone who thinks Recovery is better than Relapse, must not be a fan real fan of Eminem, but pop rap music. In that case YES its better than Relapse.
The pop melodies ‘back’? Before recovery, Eminem has NEVER made any pop songs.
Relapse and Encore are received both by critics, and by the public very bad, just because they suck.
Recovery gets very different ratings (2,4 by Pitchfork.., a little exaggerated IMO), but most of the ‘old’ fans dislike recovery because Eminem has become a more mainstream rapper with songs like Love The Way You Lie, instead of being the Slim Shady, that doesn’t give a fuck and is a total different rapper than every other rapper in the game.
MMLP en The Eminem Show are the best albums ever made by Em, but Recovery certainly isn’t a bad one. I like Recovery, and I exspect MMLP2 to be a mix between Recovery and MMLP1: the ‘I-don’t-give-a-fuck’-lyrics from MMLP1, and the overall sounding of Recovery.
“Hi, My Name Is” and ESPECIALLY “The Real Slim Shady” were very poppy and catchy as hell. So was “Without Me”, and “Sing for the Moment”… for real. And “Just Lose It”. You can argue that a few of those were not pop songs, but you can not argue that NONE of them were.
Well, i give you that one. But still, the songs you name, maybe sound poppy, but are nothing like Love The Way You Lie, 25 to life, space bound (i’m not saying that those are bad songs). Real slim shady, my name is etc. sound a bit poppy, but the lyrics are not poppy and have a high dose of “i-don’t-give-a-fuck”
Lyrics can’t be poppy. Pop is a genre of music, not of lyrics. Pop has been graced with some horrendous lyrics, as well as incredible lyrics, just as non-pop has as much bullshit surface lyrics as excellent stuff. I’d immediately argue that Love the Way You Lie has a much more important and poignant meaning than The Real Slim Shady. And Lose Yourself has the most generic, crap lyrics Eminem has ever done (along with Not Afraid).
I also think that Eminem has very obviously always given a fuck. Compare ANY of his mainstream stuff to all the stuff he did before that… his first three commercial albums were chock-full of “hey everybody, look at how many fucks I don’t give! I’ll tell you over and over that I don’t give a fuck, but clearly I do based on songs like Stan and acts like doing a publicity-full performance with Elton John!” I’m not bashing Em – I really like most of his stuff, and I find him to be a fairly fascinating person – but he’s most definitely always given a fuck.
We share the same favorite albums of his, though. Recovery definitely has a much more polished sound, but polished doesn’t mean poppy.
I disagree. I enjoy Relapse hooks and beats far better
I didn’t say that the beats and hooks on Recovery are better than those on Relapse… I said that Recovery has the most polished sound to date, and that polished doesn’t mean poppy.
Sing for the Moment and Without Me were not really pop songs, Just Lose It was imitating pop songs, but yeah My Name Is and Real Slim Shady definitely were more on the pop side of Eminem
“Pop” is an insanely vague and broad “genre” these days, and next to impossible to define. In my opinion, once a rap song can be viewed as “not *really* pop”, they get to go in that category ;) But really, genres – ESPECIALLY pop – are so subjective that everyone’s going to have a different idea of what qualifies and what doesn’t, unless they’re like Katy Perry or Lady Gaga :P
They were CATCHY songs but not POP songs as they did not follow a pop formula of beat production. They were EMINEM popular song grabs but not the generic conforming ones otherwise he would have been sounding like Cash Money etc or No Limit etc. Eminem made EMINEM music and thats what we loved. he was so stand out and different. Then he lost it somewhere and got wicked rhymes still, lacks clarity now and poor music direction as it sounds like a parody of B.O.B mixed with a little Wayne…no pun intended
It sounds like you’re throwing around terminology you don’t quite understand :P What exactly is a “pop formula” and a ” pop beat production”?
‘the ‘I-don’t-give-a-fuck’ lyrics from MMLP1 and the overall sound of Recovery’ will win Eminem a Grammy this year. No doubt about it.
The sound of Recovery and the IDGAF of MMLP don’t mesh. Relapse is a far better album than Recovery as far as being an EMINEM album and not a white middle class Eminem.
but..but..im a middle class white kid, and Relapse IMO was his 3rd best album, right behind MMLP and SSLP. I understand what you’re saying though, with SO many white kids it’s so much hype. Like OF, there are so many goddamn white girls between 13 and 18 who dont even know why they like a group as shitty as theirs, but they do anyway
Relapse was for the true hardcore eminem fans! I love every Eminem album that has been realeased. Relapse is amazing; it’s kinda like TMMLP1 with an awewome accent, it’s pretty much all about killing a raping bitches and other fucked up shit! It can’t get much more Eminem then that. I liked recovery as well, not as much but I still liked it. The thing I don’t like is how you have those little 12 year old radio faggots who claim they’re em fans when the only songs they’ve heard is his radio play like: not afraid, love the way you lie, I need a doctor ect. I have to admit his new single from TMMLP2 The Monster ft. Rihanna was a bit of a let down. However I do understand having popular radio tracks sell more albums, lets just hope the reast of his album is not like The Monster. I also think the fact that his newer stuff isn’t as good as his old stuff makes is orginal work so much better.
– How do you know that’s how Eminem really feels about himself? He was in rehab when he wrote that album. You think he really feels that way about himself? As bad as he felt when he was in rehab?
– Listen to the new songs. And most of the stuff on Recovery was not what you described – yes, Not Afraid totally was, but the rest of it wasn’t. Songs about Proof, about Kim, about drugs, depression, etc.
– I don’t think album sales reflect how good or bad an album is. My ranking of his albums goes:
1. Marshall Mathers LP
2. The Eminem Show
3. Slim Shady LP
4. Infinite
5. Recovery
6. Encore
7. Relapse
If we went by sales, it’d go:
1. The Eminem Show
2. Marshall Mathers LP
3. Encore
4. Slim Shady LP
5. Recovery
6. Relapse
7. Infinite
Couldn’t care less how many albums sell; Recovery is a good album. It may not be amazing, but it’s good.
My list goes as such:
Marshall Mathers LP
Relapse
The Eminem Show
Infinite
Slim Shady LP
Encore
Relapse
Real List Of His Best Albums In Order:
-Marshall Mathers LP
-The Eminem Show
– Encore
– Relapse
– The Slim Shady LP
– Infinite
– Recovery
Marshall Mathers LP 2 will end up being his best album. Thats a prediction based off of his single Rap God.
Relapse was one of his best albums. It was one of the most original concept albums ever made, I could write a whole book of interesting facts about Relapse. It is only recieved as a his worst album by the idiot mainstream because he uses wierd accents on a bunch of songs, but that’s his underground album. People need to wake up and realize Relapse was the fucking shit. And so was Encore. How can you not love Encore? So what theres like 3 or 4 wack songs on it but the rest of them are greatest hits of his.
And as for the guy claiming he’s made a bunch of pop songs, your an idiot. He is a rapper. Even some songs that he fucking SAMPLED pop songs still aren’t pop songs. If the song can’t be considered a rap song in your eyes guess what it’s a genre of its own. That genre is called Eminem.
LOL NO. The Slim Shady LP was much better than relapse and encore. and lyrically, infinite was his best album
Recovery should be removed from your list. SSLP imo is better than MMLP as fars as lyrical ability, but MMLP was more polished
real smart. so Relapse was his worst album but Relapse was his second best album? Did you forget about The Re-Up? Wasnt that your favorite album?
You put Relapse twice
The general concept has been used many times before. Blood, Gore, Violence. He just did it in a comedic way.
I am so sick of you fucking people who call artists sellouts. Unfortunately this is real life. I make my money sitting behind a desk. Artists make their money by making music that people want to hear, regardless if it is within their original style. Why is someone a sellout because he is giving people what they want? Why was Jay-Z called a sellout when he sold a million copies to Samsung for a 4 minute commercial? All you people need to understand that this is life and this is how it works. If you all still want to wear cotrise jeans or see women wearing tube shirts (so they can keep it old school) then I guess we are all sellouts. It’s called evolution.
No one scared kid. The album.sucked besides a few tracks. Deja vu is a classic song. But as a e um.suvked and was gilled with multia that made no sense. Lol atbubthinking multi syllanle ryhminh equals genius lyrics. You have to be like 13 years old. If not wow
Your a fool transfixed you had a go at someone for saying recovery was a huge miss “You can personally dislike something but to make the sweeping statement that it was a “huge miss” is just laughable” and then write ” Relapse didn’t do well was because it was SHITTY and way, way too dark” I SMELL A KEYBOARD WARRIOR!
Huh? I’m not just discrediting his opinion and replacing it with my own, what I say is backed up by reviews and sales. Relapse was almost universally seen as to dark, violent, depressing, and lacking in the usual high-quality Eminem songs, whereas Recovery was just the opposite. I don’t know what a “keyboard warrior” is, but I’m stating the facts.
Way too dark? So the song Kim, wasn’t way too dark? hell, the whole MMLP wasn’t way too dark? SSLP wasn’t way too dark? Eminem was known for his dark raps, you obviously are not much of a fan of his music or really followed his career. What were most of his songs about? Killing people, hating his mom, drugs, making jokes of gay people and then using it even more and said faggot more after they made a the gay pride club made a riot at him, talked about hating the government, the industry. Relapse portrays the ego he always stuck to being an evil motherfucker called Slim Shady/Eminem. If you call relapse a horrorcore i mean might as well called SSLP AND MMLP a horrocore too because it was the same intense violent, disturbing shit he had always made.He had his few real life songs like mockingbird, when im gone, toy soldiers etc etc but he wrote dark shit that came out from his imagination. Recovery was full of fucking pop love songs, literally. Last time I checked he was an interview when he was young and they asked him what are you gonna rap about when you can think of anything anymore? and he replied “gay love songs” [Recovery] The Hell Sequel was better than Recovery. Recovery was just to get some hype again which is why he put mainstream artists like wayne and rihanna in the album. Recovery was most likely pushed and forced by Interscope which why it sounds so much commercialized. Eminem never really had raps before that we’re alike to Recovery, songs on that album to him back then was he would say ” some gay faggot boy band shit” Relapse > Recovery. that’s all i wanted to say
agreed 100%
He said he almost wishes he never did Recovery in My Life. ; so.. yeah.
He says that cause he doesnt like being in.the spotlight and such..just like the video protrayed with the heli spotlight. He didnt say it dissing it like he did relapse. You ppl.really need to know what youre talking about before u post
He only said that about Relapse because of the shallow minded idiots that didnt grasp the genius on it so he needed to make more sales by catering to his NEW crowd…the shallow minded sheep that now get his more simplistic shallow topics. If MMLP was released in 2013 rather than 2002…it woulda been almost slandered by this new WAYNE age bullshit fans. Relapse in 2002 or earlier would have been GENIUS!!!!!
you’re the idiot here. Can you come up with a song that will get more then 3 views on youtube? Without including you, your mother, and your 2nd account as views. You dont have any right to judge anything because clearly you are the mentally challenged mindless worm here. You are basing your shitty OPINION as a FACT and you are wrong. Men lie, women lie. Numbers dont. Check how many albums he sold. Double platinum. If you used all the time you spend hating on another famous artist, maybe you would of went somewhere in life. fucking idiot.
Worst lyrics to date? Recovery has some really powerful shit.
Sorry if you don’t like lyrics that aren’t based off of drugs and violence.
Thank you. Space Bound, Cold Wind Blows, Going Through Changes, Cinderella Man, 25 to Life, Almost Famous, Love the Way You Lie, and You’re Never Over are all quite powerful. Recovery actually had some of my favorite Eminem lyrics to date, though the music itself wasn’t as good, his passion was really dialed back, and the production sucked.
agree about the lyrics, and I thought that though the production was a little bit more mainstream and less old-Em, I thought it fit the lyrics well. imo Recovery was his most emotionally packed album (especialy Going Through Changes and 25 To Life).
CAAARL THAT KILLS PEOPLE
Yeah, I agree. The production isn’t my favorite, but it does suit the lyrics. And that is one hell of an emotionally-charged album. All his stuff is, but that album seemed the most personal.
And :D
thank you!
If I want a more non EMINEM album i’ll listen to another artist like Lupe or Homeboy Sandman etc…Whn I listen to EMinem I don’t want to hear a parody of mainstream bliss
Not only wast it gargabe, Relapse album was kinda playing out like a Horrorcore album like the rappers MARS.. Honestly That album was a miss…. Honestly he was hatin on ICP and what did he do his album made it out like a Horrorcore album
hes always done horrorcore dipshit. same time as icp and i listen to all them
hey guys. they both suck. calm yourselves.
Actually… they’re both very good for different reasons. Relapse has incredible flows and genius lyrics, but is so abrasive that it’s hard to realize how great it is. Recovery is more shallow, but the production is lovely and the flows are gorgeous. Both take several listens to appreciate on their own terms. If you are an Eminem fan, I think you’re in for a treat if you give them another chance.
How is recovery gorgeous production/ The beats are HORRID for the most part
Lol. How does relapse have genuis lyrics? Lol u know nothing about rap
you all suck balls…
YO JOHN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOUR TALKING ABOUT STFU MAN U DONT KNOW SHIT…RECOVERY WAS THE SHIT
If you people want a say in what artists do now a days, buy an ALBUM!! Wether it be a physical or digital one, whatever. You people just download some shit of the internet then talk in here like if you had a voice. Recovery is an okay album, at least it still had what made Em great. Some lyrics and punchlines(fuck the beats cause he aint a dj he an MC), not his best but it was a good enough comback. You motherfuckers talk shit about money and sell out this and sell out that but you never support these people yourselves and thats why they have to resort to this. Eminem can make songs to videogames or to whom ever he fucking wishes, hes the artist. As long as he aint shitting around trying to be someone else just for cash. And he hasnt, hes still Em one way or another. Buy some of his shit, and then you might have a say in what he does, but honestly hes the artist, the artist expresses himself, not what other people want him to express. Give the album a chance hes done weird stuff before but Im sure he thought this through before calling it the sequel to MMLP.
Actually, this is a completely wrong point. If an album is terrible, but sells because of the artist, it would suggest to the artist/record company that what was released on this album is something people want to hear, whereas in actual fact, it would have only sold because of what is essentially a form of brand recognition. If anything, downloading for free and forming an opinion, and THEN actually BUYING the album is a better way to support the artist and convey an opinion…
I’m not buying MMLP2…silly album
Right, it was too advanced and that’s why Eminem himself has stated over and over that Relapse was a crappy album. He’s actually apologized for releasing it. Must be because it’s too advanced, huh? :P
So Eminem is a little baby?
If that’s the first time you heard that, you been leaving under a rock. I like the album, but that’s probably just because i am an Eminem-hooligan. On sites like pitchfork, Recovery got graded a 2.8 (which is WAY to exaggerated IMO, should be a 6).
Recovery sold amazingly well, but for rap albums, that is not a reason for it to be good: rap that sounds good but haven’t amazing lyrics sell good, because non-rap enthusiasts like it too.
really? the only person? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_(Eminem_album)#Critical_reception
Average score? 63, which is mediocre.
RECOVERY WAS A AWESOME ALBUM
HAH! Have you listened to Eminem for like 5 years? Recovery was an utter pile of shite compared to ANYTHING else he has written, Relapse was an awesome album, better than Encore and Recovery put together. Are you like, 12???
I like this guy. Hahah
You created a fake account just to call me a retard?
HEY EVERYONE, I FOUND THE 12 YEAR OLD!
true…
You guys are all retards. All of eminems albums are great, recovery and relapse included. Don’t call him a sell out when I bet half of you fags listen to people like cheif keif and meek mill and 2chainz and other fucking losers
I like all of Em’s albums but Recovery was not up to par with the 5 that came before it. BTW 2 chainz is dope, take him out of that category with those other losers.
i have heard lots of people say recovery sucked. i personally like every album he has come out with my fav is the eminem show and my least fav is yes relapse
You’re just so unbelievably wrong about everything you say I want to punch myself in the face. Relapse was amazing, Recovery was so terrible it was insane (Pun intended). Anyways, I seriously hope you wake up one day and realize how stupid you are, and I would appreciate it if you could just destroy your computer and any copy of Recovery you might have. Thanks so much. It was dark, and that was amazing. You’re too childish to understand it, so just shut the fuck up.
You are hilarious. Go take some valium, bro. It’s cute though, how you think anyone who didn’t like Relapse must not have “understood” it. Oh, I understood it alright. I’ve been an Em fan since he first came on the scene. I’ve heard every album. And I, and many others think Relapse was total crap. Ok? Can you handle that? Go punch yourself in the face now, if you must.
Chill. No “punch yourself” crap.
sold extremely well? so does one direction. dont base your opinions off record sales
Agreed. It wasn’t anything like the old Eminem, but it was very emotional and had some really stellar songs.
Relapse was not utter garbage. Relapse was brilliant in terms of rhyming and word play. People just dismiss it bc they can’t get past the accents. If he had used his reg voice through the whole album people would call it a masterpiece.
Barely any of you guys have a clue what you’re talking about. Recovery and Relapse were like 2 different sides of Eminem. Recovery being Marshall Mathers and Relapse being Slim Shady. Lyrically, Relapse was so much better then recovery but recovery still had some pretty insane lyrics. Relapse was written when he was in Rehab and then when he decided to stay clean he wanted to take a different route than just talking about drugs all the time. Overall, you guys can’t really say an album is garbage until you understand the meaning/purpose behind the album.
Only Guy Who Knows What hes Talking About^
Thank you. most of the people on here are just cock riders. None of them have probably ever heard any underground/not known Em songs.
I don’t hate Recovery, but you SERIOUSLY never heard many people say bad things about Recovery? That’s all I ever read about from stans.
Beg to differ. Recovery was the worst thing put out by Em. Most of the songs were love songs, and he even stated in one of the songs that he sorry for almost dissing lil wayne and kanye. That was weak. Relapse wasn’t all that bad, it was dark and a lot of songs were insane, flow wise. Recovery is sellout bull, i hope MMLP2 isn’t the same.
I’m not even sure where to begin to respond on here because there is so many comments. That said, I’m with you Transfxed.., Recovery was actually my favorite album from Em since The Eminem Show. Adding to this, arguing whether Recovery or Relapse is better is fucking stupid.
If you like Recovery better, you’re right.
If you like Relapse better, you’re right.
Basic grade school English everyone. An opinion is not a fact. Just because one guy feels a certain way about an album, doesn’t mean the other person had the same experience. I connected with Recovery during a time I was detoxing off of really terrible stuff. I also was in the middle of trying to finish my degree, and that album did so much for my strength and drive. Anytime I listen to that record, I immediately have that sense I need to push myself to stay strong. There is incredible power in that album. If you don’t like it, I understand. He didn’t rape, murder, or call as many people fags on the records as he usually does. If you were looking for that, I can see why you were let down. For others like me, we felt or connected what he was conveying in the music. If you hated it though, I won’t dismiss you. No need to take away someone else’s experience from music though. That’s the greatest gift you can ever ask to receive from an artist. And I see so many people trying to steal that away from each other on the net every day.
You guys can hate on Recovery all you want but I think that recovery was pretty good album. However I would’nt like Eminem to continue with Recovery type songs because I think an album is enough. Just like I do with Relapse. Both are completely different type of albums and both are good in their own ways. Recovery is a more serious and deep album and so what he fused it with pop? That doesn’t make it shit.. Lyrics wise it was good, the flow was amazing and beats were good too. Relapse is damn funny with sick rhymes and thats what makes it good. Anyway didn’t want Eminem to repeat recovery or relapse in MMLP2 and he didnt :D
1. MMLP 2
2. The Eminem Show
3. MMLP
4. Recovery
5. The Slim Shady LP
6. Relapse
7. Encore
8. Infinite
…I thought both albums were great in their own way. These new singles are dope as well lyrically.
Completely disagree that Recovery was a huge miss. It was his best album since The Eminem Show, and had some real standouts.
Please support your comment on “Recovery was huge miss”. Em has never put out a flop or let down album. Its the people who dont understand good music that tend to carry high expectations and will be regretting what they said years after he is gone. Appreciate it now, music that will never be overshadowed, yet cast a shadow over the entire rap industry as an impossible feat to ever outdo the greatest rapper of all time. If anyone differs that there is a lyricist out there who is comparable, even in the slightest bit, reconsider your decision, because there is a good reason the person in mind has never tried to call out Em on an album, that is rap suicide.
I think its going to be like all of his other albums…. At first people will say its garbage or isn’t as good as his past albums but then after a couple years most people will go back and say its amazing… just like he said in his song “Careful What You Wish For”
hes a legend do not ever call his albums garbage, hes an inspiration to the world, iv listened to every album/song and there amazing
I know this is a dust mote in your eye, wooden plank in mine situation, but you might do well to read more closely before making forceful demands of people–the comment said that other people call his albums garbage, not the commenter.
Recovery was bland as hell and very pop friendly smh. HORRIBLE production.
He only has two good albums MMLP and The Eminem Show. Rest of them were weak.
i will admit the production of recovery wasn’t great but as an album i thought it was good his best since the eminem show
spoiler: it won’t
i agree 1000% hes got alot of work to do to keep up with da old one ..
agreed agreed agreed and recovery was a miss but only for the fans, eminem was on hit with what he wanted so power to him
“Rap God” so far is the only one that does, and it’s an awesome song. “Berzerk” is more like his older stuff, but it’s still really different. And “Survival” sounds a lot like the stuff on Recovery. So there’s a chance of it living up to the first one, but you’re definitely right that it’s a risky naming choice… definitely creates a lot of pressure.
The sequel to Only Built 4 Cuban Linx was named with the same sense of boldness (“OB4CL Part 2”). After so many subpar Raekwon albums, it seemed like a weak attempt to generate excitement about the next project. But then it was not only a magnifcent album, but probably better than the first–and gave the entire Wu-Tang Clan’s image immediate rejuvenation.
In other words, this title had me feeling the same way about the upcoming album as OB4CLP2 had me feeling before it came out. So who knows. I didn’t like “Survival” at first, but after digesting the magnificence of “Rap God,” the first and second singles sound pretty awesome. Who knows……
I think it was a bad move with the name, because it’s going to be compared to the 1st (which was a GENIUS album), and when it comes to anything with more than 1 version, the original is usually always favored. i hope it’s less shouting in this album though.. his flows on “rap god” were done great.
It’s a poor move when your releasing poor material like this!!
c’mon eminem, now you have your new nike’s – make a good album of fuck off
this is gonna be a very happy few months for me, first panic at the disco and a day to remember releasing the albums on the same day and then eminem finally releasing his 8th studio album. i think it brings a tear to my eye.
This will be awesome!!!
wow…A7x AND Eminem fan…so much in common lol
No but I like both!
your name is very familiar
you are/were a member on the site nohomers.net, right?
Yes what’s your username on NHC :o
leprechaun_dan
i don’t go on anymore though, there are too many bad users to name these days and i lost interest of the simpsons. the site used to be so good, it’s such a shame that it’s no good anymore
Yes I think the same thing as you!
this site is way better and a much nicer community. i can’t wait for mmlp2 to come out. i haven’t been this excited since hail to the king was leaked :)
okay i just went online and yep, still hate it
Fuck school. Fuck my girlfriend. Fuck everything. It’s all about Eminem right now
fuck your girlfriend? if you insist.
Be careful with what you wish for xD
We got a real life Stan here.
wooow funny as helll
I can’t wait for this to be released. Berzerk sounds so much like something he would have done 13 years ago, add on “the stroke” and the beastie boys style delivery and Berzerk could easily become one of his greatest singles ever. If not HIS greatest, but the greatest of what has been released in the past 5 years. Hopefully the entire album delivers as much raw energy.
nice try
yeah so this is going to be fuckin awesome
not feelin’ it… :(
Berzerk was garbage. I don’t have high hopes for this.
He shouts out Kendrick? That’s the shit.
I’ve grown up with the Marshall Mathers LP…It came out when I was a year old and I used to listen to Eminem with my mom and dad. At about 8 I started collecting his albums. I started collecting the dirty versions THEN the clean versions just so I can support him. Now my first album I owned (excluding Curtain Call) is having a sequel!? I feel like it’s a sequel to my childhood…makes me cry the most joyful tears. Love you, Em.
Yikes… Your parents let you listen to the Marshall Mathers LP when you were 1 year old?
lol as if he understood it at age 1. Also his parents probably were the people listening to it and he just happened to be there so they prob are the ones that introduced him to it. My nephew knows like all the old rap songs from late 90s and early 2000s and was able to sing them since he was 3, just a byproduct of his father listening to nothing but rap.
Listen em is going with a new style so what this sounds different it’s still eminem survival may have not been put on this album but it’s his style we’ve heard one song thus far and people are talking shit on it? Common this cd could have up to 20 songs on it everyone knows how he is this could be a curveball he was known to love the beastie boys an it could’ve been a tribute give it a chance em is still the shit I can see yelawolf being on this album and Idk why but I’m having a feeling we could hear a forgot about dre part 2? There is endless possibilities for this album I’m not gonna let one song get me down and honestly it grows on you I’m thinking this is gonna surprise alot of people…..
