So he's just naming the album MMLP2 to boost sales or whats the story? Should a sequel not have some sort of relation or similarity to its original?

He did mention the first one in Rap God

Well to me it seems like this album is going to suffer the same problems as his last two (Relapse and Recovery), Eminem doesn't seem to have any stories left to tell. No matter how good he makes the rapping, hooks or beat when he isn't saying anything whats the point. His raps now are just spitting a load of nonsense together, about how good a rappity rapper he is.

He has always been at his best story telling about his own life, or making a commentary on the world as he sees / or seen it., or even complete fictional story telling. Those tracks just don't seem to exist any more, so now he just sounds dated and old.

Boom Bap is going to explode when he hears the singing :pac:.

I actually dont mind it on this one as it's not as in-your-face and he's not trying to reach Mariah notes.

I like it kind of, but after the 4 minute mark the beat gets annoying and I concentrate more on the ee ehe ahh synth rather than what he is saying.

But the way he is rhyming with the beat is a throwback to the old Em, he has used words that sound like the beats and ride with it, rather than on the last 2 albums where there were just verses written and planted atop a beat (for the most part). The switch ups in delivery are pretty good as well and needed over a long track.

I'll give it a few more listens later, my opinion may change then.

No point sayin Em is back, but DAMN he's "full of himself, but still hungry". He goes HARD on this song. He used at least 7/88 different flows/styles on it. Shots fired at Waka, repeating his columbine line, sick flow, sick beat... Hyped now

Relapse was full of stories though. 3am, Deja Vu, Same Song and Dance, My Mom, Beautiful etc. Lyrically he was on point with Relapse, the production let him down on it.

it was the content
a near whole album about serial killing was way too much

I wouldn't say that running out of stories to tell is much of an excuse either btw, especially for an MC of Em's calibre.

Look how long the Roots have been around, 20 odd years, and pretty much every album they've put out is quality.

For me, the best thing Em has done in years was the Bad Meets Evil EP, and even that was only 50% him.
His solo work really hasn't been up to much for basically 10 years now (again this is just my opinion).
I think he has just changed with the times, this is what he is now.

He lost his fire when to me when I first heard the single just loose it, and he used the sample of guess who's back at the start which was exactly the same as the without me intro.

I knew straightaway he had lost the very thing which made him big and was just taking an easy ride.

Although encore really was the worst album ever so maybe it was just one we should pretend never happened!

Why do people still live in the past and expect the same type of music from a guy who has changed massively personally?

I think that Rap God song is dope.

I loved that song Stay Wide Awake(apart from his singing) some crazy dark stories, he should write a horror movie.

Good flow, unusual (not necessarily bad) beat, excellent wordplay, excellent lyrics

Here's the track lengths. Intro is 7 minutes long :O

Lyrics were average and boring as f*ck tbh.

MD1990

Just wondering, what other songs of Eminem's would you rate 9/10? 9/10 indicates near perfect songs, near classic tracks dare I say it and Em has loads in his time sure...just wondering what for you would be some 9/10 songs of his...or actually in general...any artist.

None of the leaked tracks will be played or probably even remembered in two years let alone 5-10...

Just saying.

Fairly sure he doesn't rap in Japanese and Chinese for the asians :P

Monster will be on itunes 9.45pm our time tonight. Hope its $hit, I really don't want rhianna playing in my car.

HighClass

New track is terribad imo. Couple of nice lines like the Kool Keith one, but the hook is aids, sounds like a Flo Rida hook. Beat ain't great either. It'll be a massive hit all the same though.

Ardennes1944

I usually love anything Em drops I'll be honest, loved Not Afraid when it came out despite knowing it was a radio track, but Monster is just terrible, least its out of the way!

Mr. Rager

Pop thrife. Actually much worse than I expected, like imagine if this was on the original MMLP? A bit disgusted really, had have decent expectations after Rap God but now I don't know what to think.

Andy_rse

That's the track to reel in even more teeny boppers, won't make it as far as my iPod. Ah well, enjoyed 3 outta 4 tracks so far.
