MMLP2 REVIEWS

[haganeno]

Why Billboard in your review gave no score to TMMLP2 and others albums if?

[goatstatus]

So Kanye West is a better artist than Eminem because he has better metacritic reviews right?

[kkaniff]

Yes.

[goatstatus]

So people just buy Em's music because he is white when really Kanye is better? Why are Em's sales so good if other artists are better than him?

[goatstatus]

Kanye has a stronger overall discography, but Em is the better rapper and entertainer, imo.

Where did you pull those numbers out of, your ass?

Wtf.. Yeezus 9.5... 808's 10.... WTT 9...

and HTS 5??

Come on son. This is a rap forum is it not?

Well, for one, it's just my opinion. Em sucked on Hell: The Sequel. Shouty, long-winded, and unfunny punchlines. I even like him more on Recovery. 808s is an incredible accomplishment, Yeezus is magnificently produced, and Watch the Throne shits on HTS in every conceivable way and then invents new ways to shit on it. Kanye was able to make Jay dope again and elevate his material. Too bad MCHG was so mediocre. Jay needs Ye to keep him on point these days.

Yeah but WTT was less cohesive.

Up until "Lighters", HTS flows perfectly. If they had stopped before "Lighters" aka that stupid compromised slop of shit designed to try and make pop fans like Royce... the EP would be so much stronger.

WTT is kind of, 'bigger', but feels like there's more weak tracks and moments which don't transition as well. Both are flawed, but I think HTS is far more enjoyable.

Possibly, but I don't value cohesion if it cohesively adds up to a polished turd.

Lighters is actually one of the best tracks on HTS. It would be better without Bruno Mars, but Em doesn't do the screamy punchline thing there and Royce is great there. Honestly, most of those 5 points are for Royce. I'm not getting into this debate again, but I believe Royce >>> Em on most of the EP. Even then, Royce's material is mostly below his typical standard.

Great!!? Royce's verse is abysmal lmao, and one of the worst I've ever heard from him.

And I don't agree it adds up to that.

"Lighters" is absurdly out of place. Not just musically, conceptually too. They rap in character all the way through and then rap as themselves aka Eminem and Royce... not Bad Meets Evil out of nowhere, it sounds really silly.

And it's something Eminem does repeatedly now. Because he thinks he needs to 'balance' it, but it doesn't balance it, it's just like sticking a romance scene at the end of heist movie, it's just absurd and spoils it. Seriously though Royce's verse almost ruins the song more than Bruno.

[EminemBase]

Sure, Lighters is out of place, but it's a welcome diversion from Em furiously screaming something about autoerotic asphyxiation and dog shit.

I don't know how you could comment on Em's punchlines though... and then think Royce's verse on "Lighters" is great. Those lines are some of the flattest and corniest lines I've heard.

Man.. I would seriously consider deleting your account and going over to the Kanye forum or something before someone gets your IP address and smashes your head in. Just my advice.

I know you're entitled to your opinion, no matter how retarded it is, but I honestly believe that you should get banned for how dumb it is.

[Hansen]

So what happened to the "lets gather all the reviews?" Im not sure if I want to scroll through 50 pages.

[Hopsinshadie]

Wicked Ways is as dope as bananas, yo. ''I wanna live my way to hell. Live my way to hell.''

Song has the aura of an Encore bonus cd or maybe Relapse bonus cd. Has an older skool feel to it. It's Bananas!!

You are an absolute goddamned lunatic stan and you should be banned for making threats. In fact, I'm requesting that if any mods see this post. It's just fucking music. At the end of the day, I really don't give a shit about any of it. It's not important in the grand scheme of things. EmBase and I were having a civil debate of the kind encouraged on a discussion board. Eminem and Kanye are two of my favorite artists and I'm a huge fan of the majority of both of their work and listen to both of them nearly every single day. There are Kanye fans who probably think I'm crazy for underrating Graduation, and there are Em fans who love HTS and Recovery. Everybody is entitled to an opinion and nobody is any smarter or dumber for it. Well, except Hopsinshdie, but that's only because he has no consistent opinions. At least he doesn't fucking threaten people and generally maintains a peaceful tone in spite of all the shit we give him. You're deranged, kid. I've done absolutely nothing whatsoever to you, nor have I done anything to threaten your precious Eminem albums. They're still there for you to enjoy. One person on the internet doesn't like a couple of them but happens to love the others. Big fucking deal. What do you care? Better yet, why do you care?

I didn't say I was going to do it crybaby, just saying with your ridiculous comments, ratings and avatar I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone did want to.

No offense but I think you would be much better suited in some kind of Pop forum or Kanye forum

[Hopsinshadie]

Wicked Ways > Walter White

[Hopsinshadie]

To make the record str8, mmlp2 is not exactly trash, but our disappointment is more or less a testament to how stellar the original was. Plus at the end of the day, lyrics will prevail above all.

No one else here is that crazy. Even the trolls are relatively polite most of the time. I have no idea why you would even think of saying that to somebody, but it's genuinely disturbing.

It's strange that two weeks ago I was catching shit here for loving Em's new singles and being too much of a stan and now I've got people wishing me physical harm because I happen to also enjoy another popular rapper's music in addition to Eminem.

I don't know if you've noticed, but roughly half of the members here have a famous actress or female singer as their avatar. It's just a TR thing. I'm not even trying to be a dick, I'm seriously just pointing that out because you may not have noticed it yet, having joined a week ago.

I'm not wishing you physical harm so sorry if I offended/scared you. I guess I could have been a bit more polite with strongly disagreeing with your opinions but we are on a Slim Shady forum are we not?

To be a fan of Eminem yet expect politeness on his forum is a contradiction in my opinion.

And yes, I have noticed a couple of dudes here with female avatars and I personally think it's kind of gay. Unless it's the one with the Gianna Michaels gif/av, that one's perfectly fine in my book.

BTW, I'm not surprised you got shit for loving Em's singles, besides Rap God, they are the worst part of the album. Although Berzerk isn't bad.
