An observation (MMLP2 + Rap God)

[Hansen]

I noticed when he goes off with that Columbine line he references MMLP as "The Marshall Mathers LP 1". And as we know the song was recorded some time last year. He probably knew for a long time that he wanted to name his album MMLP2. And when he was touring this summer his setlist was way different from before. A lot of songs from his previous recovery setlist was replaced with songs from MMLP (Criminal, Kill You etc).

No biggie, just a fun observation I made while sleep deprived.

I was thinking about this the other day. A few other possible hints (?):

I'm On Everything:
"And I dye my hair back blonde again and laugh"

My Life:
While you were sipping your own Kool-Aid, getting your buzz heavy
I was in the fucking shed sharpening my machete
Sipping on some of that revenge juice, getting my taste buds ready
To wolf down this spaghetti or should I say this spa-get-even
I think you fucking meatballs keep on just forgetting
Thought he was finished, motherfucker it's only the beginning
He's bugging again, he's straight thugging
Fuck who he's offending
He'll rip your vocal chords out and have them bitches plu~gged in the
Motherfucking wall with 3000 volts of electricity
Now take the other end of em
Then plug them motherfuckers-in-each
One of your eye sockets
Cause I thought you might finally fucking see
That'll teach you to go voicing your cocksucking opinion to me
I done put my blood, my sweat and my tears in this shit
Fuck letting up, you’re gonna end up regretting you ever betted against me
Feels like I'mma snap any minute, yeah it's happening again <-------------------
I'm thinking about just saying
Mother fuck everybody that's up in this bitch but 50
Cause this is all I know
This is why so hard I go
I swear to God I put my heart and soul in this more than anybody knows
I'm trapped, so all I do is rap
But everytime I rap I'm more trapped
And I rap myself right to this bubble, oh I guess it's bubble wrap
It's like a vicious cycle
My life's in a crisis
Christ how was I supposed to know shit would turn up like it did
Feels like I'm going psycho again
And I might just blow my lid
Shit I almost wish that I would have never made Recovery, kid
Cause I'm running in circles with

i've never really looked at that verse, but damn hes fucking angry as shit.. good sign

Obviously he knew he wanted this to be what it is for a long time. It's not like he wrote and recorded everything and slapped the name on at the end.

The MMLP2 was a concept he had before he started scribbling his serial killer notes on his notepad.

He's probably been thinking about this since at least 2010. Maybe even further back

Who knows, maybe he had planned it a long time ago.

From Oh no where he says complete the cycle. Well he brought it back around.

But yeah, this was been in at least an idea for at least 3-5 years. And I mean in a sense of concepts/writing/vague brain stroming. He might have had this planned for ten years to do at some point, we really don't know.

I think a year after Recovery, he kind of got hit with an overwhelming amount of online disapproval and doubt. I think that sparked MMLP2.

agreed. i don't think he wants to be remembered and stigmatized by recovery. so he's gone out his way to create an album that will eradicate all doubt

not a lot, he added just ONE song from mmlp to the old setlist, which is Criminal

I doubt it. Fans pat themselves on the back way too much, especially on here for thinking they have such a profound influence on Em's career. Sure, Relapse 2 was scrapped, but it sold pretty good and even if it had sold a little better, I think the label would have wanted him to get away from that. They understand marketing and chopping women up and eating them isn't it.

Too imply Recovery influenced this record would imply EM only worked on MMLP2 for like a year and a half.

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Great avy, op
You're right, btw

[Ottawa613]

Kill You was already on the setlist. I think he added Criminal and Just Don't Give a Fuck, which is still a good sign he's going back to the old Slim Shady roots. Also interesting that he added Mosh and White America to his setlist. Maybe the album will have some solid political songs?

[EriCartman]

You can't say he isn't in touch with the online world and opinions, of course he is.

Em doesn't know how to turn on a computer.

Of course he does.

He is probably one of us anyways....lurking through the forum.
