He's tried to create a balanced album.
I defy anybody to name a single track on MMLP which 'isn't Shady' or isn't MMLP... there isn't one. This is why it is a classic.
It was fine for TES to be balanced, as it was Recovery...
But how in the fuck is more pointless rambling about fucking fame with a broad introspective spacey hook and hella fused pop pop, pop as fuck backdrop fucking MMLP2?
Fuck you Em. You fucked this right up. Wow.
Dude every artist have the same thoughts that he will express in different forms, like woody allen said. introspective artist will always do this, Bruce, John Mayer....
especially with Em, you can almost match tracks in his 4 albums that talks about the same thing.
You are really closed minded, you made some ideas about what mmlp2 should be and you want him to sound like it, it's new thing.
No, it's not about the tracks being about the same thing, it's not about subject-matter.
It's allllll execution and mindset.
This mindset IS 'Recovery' and so is the presentation of the music.
He raps about different shit on MMLP too, it's not about that; it's about carrying a theme throughout an album. He seems to not be able to commit to this since Encore.
And MMLP is not some random album; it was a massive concept album and a huge statement on censorship... so a song about him overcoming odds and helping kids through a struggle... how in the holy fuck does that make 1% on a sequel to that?
MMLP is very precious. This song is generic and he could have made it 3 years ago.
It's not new, and it's totally forgettable - musically... Jesus fuck.
