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.
a new single was just released a hour ago call ( the monster) its on his facebook page and will be on itunes tonight at midnight
i sincerely hope you didnt just find out about this
nope just got to here and posted it
I hate Rihanna, but the song is good. Fuck me, right?
Song sucks
I think Berzerk was a great lead single sure the verses weren’t that great but the chorus and hook were very catchy and classical Slim. Survival is a COD promotional single and i know Alot of people dont like when he yells but i mean he kind of has too for this type of song in the end it does what it needs to do and gets you pumped. Chorus is weak but the verses are pretty decent. Rap God was sensational the best I’ve herd from Eminem in a while his flow, rhyme scheme, and technicality were superb. Enough said. Now the Monster as a rap song isn’t the best in fact i think this is one of the worst single he’s ever put out BUT I’m 100% sure the label forced him to do it and after it all it is a radio single made to sell and become mainstream this song could even go to #1 on the charts. Chorus is catchy verses are simple it ok at best. Yes there wasn’t anything as poppy on the original MMLP but times change if this is the worst track on the album and the most pop one I’ll be fine lets not right the album off because of one mediocre single.
In a sort of twisted insane way I hope this album does not leak prior to the official November 5 release date. It would just make it that more satisfying to hear.
i kno what u mean but with all due respect FUCK THAT!!
Haha, absolutely! I am not trying to wait until then to hear this cohesive project for the first time! Regardless; very excited!
You won’t be excited after you hear this junk
surprised it made it this far without a leak
im gonna pray for a leak before i gotta fly outta state on thursday but if its locked up like yeezus was it’ll leak 2 days before the release…but i have a feeling that just wont happen and it’ll leak soon
Honestly, I haven’t been a fan of anything he’s done since “Eminem Show” so taking a step back like this, I have high hopes for this album, but will not be holding my breath.
Ohhhh man LEAK ALREADY
This album will suck. Much worse than recovery. The em we loved is gone forever. Pop Eminem is out from now on.
Ffsshhhmmmggddfffkkk man! Where is it?!
i learned from experience when its on itunes its gonna leak soon and look what i found this morning
every song is explicit <3
The Monster doesn’t have an explicit thing in it. EDIT* Nevermind, Guess I didn’t listen well
Hopefully, they stream it soon!!!
Cant wait!~~!!!!
How has this not leaked yet?? Not just rhetorical, wondering what measures the label must have taken.
I read all these comments like “his old stuff was better” or “everything after Eminem Show sucks.” If he wrote another album that sounded exactly like MMLP1, there’d be complaints about how he isn’t original anymore. Instead, he wrote music that he decided best represents him right now. And he gets hate for it anyway.
And what is the standard at which we can say a song “sucks”? There’s a lot of musicians/bands that I do not like at all, but that doesn’t mean they suck. There’s a lot of people who would disagree with me, just as plenty of people tell me the music I listen to sucks. It doesn’t, it just isn’t for everyone.
Can we please stop talking about “this sucks, old was better” and just appreciate the fact that we get to hear new music from one of the greatest rappers of all time?
Thank you! Artists evolve, their music will change… If an artist is still making the same music after 15 years then they’re unoriginal and derivative
People are allowed to say they don’t like something as much as they’re allowed to say they like it. How boring would it be if people only ever said music was good?
I’m not saying people have to like his new songs. I just find it annoying when people say a song sucks, as if it is a fact. I have no problem reading an opinion of someone who doesn’t care for a song or an album. What gets to me is when they try to push their opinion on others and rant about how the artist used to be better.
Raymond, I Think It Annoying Wen Ppl Take AS Much Effort As U To Defend Sum1 They Dnt Even kno
So you’re basically saying that you want every person on the internet to stop discussing songs/artists, or hating on artists? lol that’s not how the internet works bro

A little tidbit of info from Paul Rosenberg, Em’s attorney/manager. If this is true, I has a sad.
if this is true then they are just stupid. most people i know (myself included) use the leak to judge if they want to buy the album or just certain songs. Being a fan of eminem i will undoubtably be buying the deluxe version but if (when) it leaks i will listen to it until i get the hard copy. Lots of artists have said it, the leak doesnt matter because if its good music people will still buy it, if they are a true fan people will still buy it. Plus it almost reduces the backlash of comments saying “dont waste your money” “cant believe i bought this” “trash” etc. They may not sell as much but is a couple thousand copies that big of a deal to a huge superstar?! No.
Don’t try to justify a leak. People can wait and buy the album on the day of it’s release, or if they want to wait and see if it’s good or not, wait until the day of release and someone will upload it then. Either way you will get it when it’s released. I listen to leaks as well, but don’t try to justify that a leak is important.
Let’s goooooooo
Ohhhh yeaaah ! Now, I wait for the DL hahaha !
If you yourself took that picture then you need to grab one of those and run!
The man who took that pic said that he’ll not leak the album, and he wished that it’ll not leak ! So, we just need to wait :(
If this guy got it, others have too. It’ll be soon
Run nigga, just run and upload that thing as fast as you can!
I’m surprised that the person who took this picture hasn’t been tracked down through geo-tagging and been robbed, already.
Looks fake.. the material looks cheap
How can you say the material looks cheap. Its plastic, paper, and cardboard. Like most CD shipments.
Yeah you’re absolutely right! The plastic wrapping fooled me…
on kat. ph there is a Marshall Mathers LP 2. Don’t know yet whether it’s legit or not (probably not). Downloading it now, but only 1 seeder.. will keep you updated.
Fake :/
sawry, fake..
were not asking he continue making the same music, were asking he continue making GOOD music..which ceased a while ago
Then why are you on here dipshit?
Wait, so you don’t want him to make the same music, even though you apparently believe that was his only good music? Doesn’t make sense man. Besides, Em has been making great tracks since the start, it’s just about adapting.
i dont wanna here the same style, but i want it to continue to be good. did u rlly not understand that or r u riding shady so hard u had to argue
If you know anything about Eminem you would know that each one of his albums has a different style. MMLP2 may have a sort of similar flow to it but that is because it’s a revisit to MMLP. If you really thought Em would completely change his style (like he did from Relapse to Recovery) on an album that is essentially a sequel, then you are an idiot and are clearly not understanding. Plus, you need to work on your grammar and spelling.
I’m thinking this might not leak.
Don’t do that to us.
Sorry, it’s just my gut feeling so don’t worry ;)
Your ALL Idiots Just Cause He Isnt Talking About Drugs,Killing People,Gay People His New Or latest Music Isnt Garbage He Is Writing What He Feels & What He Wants To Write He Has Matured And The Game Has Changed Recovery Was A Masterpiece
You know what they say about sequels..
he said its not a sequel its more of a revision
Revisit*
I know. But I still have very low expectations for it, based on the singles and his general career trajectory.
Based Rap = Based God fan? If so you know shit about hip hop and you should literally swallow a knife.
You should literally swallow my ding dong. Mad ’cause The Based God Effed all your B-words. I know more about Hip Hop than you ever will. Educate yourself before speaking ill of The Based God.

only good song is berzerk? Rap God was alone better than magna carta holy grail
Compared to other rappers the 4 songs I’ve heard from the album blow them out of the water. However I can’t say that they measure up to the original MMLP, but that album was one of the greatest of all time. The bars set ridiculously high, but if anyone can reach it its Em.
dude gotta be honest if you hate eminem u hate life….fuck off bitch
dude just…shut up u know nothing about hip hop if u say eminem sucks
man u are a huge dumb ass
dude stop and think because u are talking poop….literally its coming out of your mouth cause you are literally poop and hear poop cause cause your a piece of poop
stupid censership
Dude just stop listening to music cause you have no idea what the hell you are talking about…Eminem is probably the best rapper of all times aside from 2pac and B.I.G…Which i doubt u even listened to, so just leave this whole thing and go just go and never come back
I can’t believe what I’m reading….you got some balls to insult a legend especially on a page with a crap load of fans…..you probably don’t know good music so don’t insult a legend….eminem is the best rapper in the world and saying go fuck yourself em….really man grow up and guess what no one cares what u say cause u probably have no sense of music so just leave and never comeback cause no one wants a troll on this page
Monster seems to have leaked for those who didn’t know. Found it on KAT front page. Might be old news though.
It was an official release not a leak.
Having a look down the comments it seems I’m a day late and a dollar short. Sorry all.
I just wish this would leak already! lol
It would be awesome If before the song Monster a skit would play where Em walks in Steve Berman’s office where he says that we need a pop-rap song to sell and promote the album and after that The Monster kicks in. But yea, Eminem killed Steve Berman in The Eminem Show..
