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.
Berzerk isn’t a song that you like from hearing it once. Its pretty good after hearing it a few times but that’s not good. I like it, I just hope his whole album isn’t like this. Honestly, you won’t be seeing anyone slapping this in their car.
damn,
yo
My rankings of Eminem albums
1. Infinite – 6/10 rating
2. Slim Shady – 9/10 rating
3. Marshal Mathers LP – 10/10 rating
4. The Eminem Show – 9/10 rating
5. Encore – 3/10 rating
6. Relapse – 8/10 rating
7. Recovery – 2/10 rating
8. Marshal Mathers 2 – ???????
Recovery was better then Encore in full. Recovery’s main problem was incredibly corny and stupid hooks, but the bars weren’t that bad compared to Encore’s terrible throw away tracks. and I would only give Relapse a 7, and that’s generous. I would give Infinite a solid 7 as well, how did you like Relapse more then infinite? The other ratings are spot on though.
Relapse is my favorite eminem album. His lyrics are sick in almost every song. Also much much prefer him rapping about doing ambien and valium then being “not afraid” Recovery is easily my least favorite.
Relapse is second only to The Eminem Show, fuck nigga
You are a really fair grader lmao
cant really count encore as a real album, its a best hits album and I think you are to harsh with the recovery score, if you know what he was going through and experienced what he was rapping about then you would love it. My friend was recovering off of heroin and in rehab when he started listening to that album, we both enjoyed it. My friend is fine now though hes a councilor in rehab now.
Encore was a real album, Curtain Call was the greatest hits album
I agree with the scores he gave
Glad to see that survival isn’t actually on the album phew cause it’s like recovery styled. Berzerk fits the title of the album much better
“Survival” (featuring Liz Rodrigues; produced by DJ Khalil) [Only included on Call of Duty: Ghosts special edition]”
Ur a moron dude he killed the survival track put the nail in the coffin… u dont know what good music is
I’m an old school Eminem fan more
Cant Waitttttttt
I leave for the army oct 29th. This album better fucking leak!!!!!!!
Read the Eminem Wiki.. wow
he aint endin shit idiot he said it himself. Hes rapping till hes fossil fuel. so watch your mouth. The man is a G.O.A.T
This albums gunna be sick! cant wait XD
Everybody was complaining that they wanted the old Eminem back and now they’re complaining that Berzerk sounds 90ish haha
That’s because people are never satisfied, they’re too busy bitching instead of enjoying the music.
Eminem’s too busy wanking and getting high to make meaningful music anymore.
this song is meaningful to people who grew up when rap was just starting and know what the lyrics means and stand for, even the beat screams throwback,
I don’t understand this argument. People aren’t satisfied because lately, everything everybody puts out is lackluster. So they should just “sit back and enjoy” even though it’s not any good?
because the old eminem used to push the bar in terms of sound and state-of-the-art production. berzerk… doesn’t.
all his latest shit sounds nothing like his old shit which he was going for. Better luck next time.
WTF are my comments moderated for?
I think the song “survival” won’t be on this album. It was made exclusive for COD Ghosts

no shit sherlock
Pretty sure it’s actually gonna be on the album, so who’s the dumbass now?
look at when i commented it was before the tracklist was revealed…
Berzerk was great actually. I can hardly wait for this
To me, the album cover looks like the same house (from MMLP) from the same angle and of the same side of the house, but the front tree has lost much of it’s leaves. It also looks to have been abandoned and weeds and shrubs have been growing around the house. Looks like the windows have also been boarded up.
I’d love to know the story behind that house.
It’s the house where he lived in during his teenage years.
It’s the house he grew up in. Right now it’s on sale though. http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/eminem-s-childhood-home-in-detroit-up-for-sale-news.7315.html
Just found it on google maps. Pretty crazy.

cover got me even more hyped!!!
Well what to say about Berzerk when i first heard it i was like F**K yeah eminem has brought out a new song but after listening to it again OMFG he needs to get bak on drugs and be Slim Shady agian because hes shit now i dont like one BIT
“he needs to get bak on drugs and be Slim Shady agian”
I’m sorry, but you need to go to Hell.
cant wait! but most likely, because its one of the biggest releases of 2013, its gonna be sealed until the very last second till its released… look at 5fdp, not the biggest release but still sealed up to 3 days till release…
i fear that were actually gonna have to wait until the 5th of november to hear this.
MMLP2 will be Beastie Boys throwaway garbage.
you’re judging and entire album by one song? really? u think his whole album is gonna be beastie boys sounding? have you never listened to Eminem’s songs? its a song dedicated to early rap, that’s why everything in the song and video is all throwback stuff. Stop trolling Eminem forums, you’re not very good at it.
Anyway, if the whole album sounds like the Beasties, that’s excellent, they’re the greatest hip-hop group that ever was.
jesus people stop bitching you wanted the old em back you got the old em back. now your not happy with what he put out, how about you stop whining and be thankful he made another album at all.
Most people don’t know what the “Old Em” sound like. They base everything off of recovery, and compare him to “little” wayne(douche).
Youll never make anyone happy. People ask for a million dolalrs you give it to them and they bitch that there not happy. people ask for the old EminEm he finally makes some of his old stuff and they will bitch its nothing like it or he has sold out or people will say that he should have stuck with his recovery days. Me, i love whatever this crazy amazing guys puts out.
I don’t know whether to like this or not. It’s different, but it’s just not Eminem.
This is very much EMINEM much more so than Recovery.
u either love marshall or u hate him. but u gotta accept everything hes ever put out if ur a true fan. the mans a fuckin genius to say the less, no matter what mind frame he may be in.
I notice that people who think Eminem is “old school” also don’t like his new stuff. Everyone that loved the recovery album “hates” Berzerk. However, Berzerk is more “traditional” Slim Shady than anything in the last five years.
P.S. Recovery was horrible as a whole, with some good individual songs.
