Verse 1:
YO! I just don't know
Where to go
Or what to do
Who are you? Who is me?
I'm Slim! Who me, yes me
Ses-a-me, seed, organic
Standing on top of the planet
With my middle finger held high
Got Dam it, understand it
I'm a man wiT, a
Ham sam-mich

Integ-rity? Shit is lame
Trapped in fame, the same
Picture frame, on my wall
Fuck you all, I'ma ball...

Verse 2:
Ever since a kid
I did, bad things
But now I wanna repent
Heaven sent, or hellish spawn
Grown on my neighbours' lawn
You all fawn, over Shady, but baby
i'm so crazy I just wanna go LA LA LA
AH AH AH, I'm lo-sing it, I re-fuse to quit
My mu-sic's shit but I quit booze for IT!
I'm just wicked. Yeah bitch kick it!

HOOK:
OOOH MY WICKED WAYYYS

I rehearse, I rap, I rehearse, I rap
I regur-gitate, the same shit, don't hate, but wait
I got more, you whore
It's time, to find, my INSPIRATION
FUCK THE NATION, THIS PLANET AND THIS WHOLE GENER-ATTTION
HEAVEN FORBID I SHOULD MAKE A HIT, FOR A RADIO STATTTION
Oh they don't like that, it's played out
Fuck you faggots, just like this hook, you're gayed out:

HOOK:
OOOH MY WICKED WAYYYS
BABY DON'T HATE MY WICKED WAYYS
LA LA LA
MY WICKED WAYS

Em's explanation: "Yeah with this song I kind of wanted to mirror 'Criminal'. (as some flower power slut croons over his closing hums)

You're nothing but an articulate Hopsinshadie.

Also, anything fake to do with a leak is supposed to be a three week ban. Your thread title implies that the lyrics did in fact leak.

How am I anything like Hopsinshade.

Also, the title is clearly ironic when you enter the post ; stating the irony within the title defeats the surprise / point of using an ironic title to begin with.

It's a 3 week ban for false links pretending to be real. This is a post clearly taking the piss out of "The Monster", provocatively to those who like it, to ramp up the discussion on how fucking cheap and tacky Em's music has become and how he doesn't give a flying fuck about true substance beyond fulfilling some meaty sounding verses and making the song catchy and charatable.

GREAT JOB. NOW FUCK OFF!

It's because you keep changing your mind as often as he does. Every time Em drops a song you're either "WOW YOU FUCKED UP EM" or "OMG THIS IS AWESOME"

No I ain't.

I'm very consistent actually.

Said Relapse was amazing from the time it dropped, until now, said the tracks which I say to this day ruined it - the same ones I say to this day.

I said 'Recovery' was solid, but flawed, always have.

And I've been consistent in which of the MMLP2 singles I like or don't like, and why, and it's always for the same reasons. There's no mind-changing going on, it's because EM is inconsistent.

Because he's trying to please every sector of his fan base all the time now. So he drops a hardcore rap track the one minute, then a track which tries to be a pop hit the next... that's why you're getting fans like 'FUCK THIS AWESOME... FUCK THIS IS SHIT'. Nobody is changing their mind - Em is trying to play a balancing act and fucking up the sequel to his masterpiece.

[Kill You]

But it's not a direct sequel to MMLP and Eminem himself even said that. It's a totally different album and tbh I'd have it no other way.

You're doing nothing but whine repeatedly all over the board about how much this album you haven't heard sucks and how much Eminem fell off. I've seen you make some good posts before, but this is a blatant struggle thread and it's all getting annoying. It's perfectly fine that you hate The Monster. Hate away. Lots of people hate it and aren't freaking out over it. That's cool. But to say this song doesn't have substance in its lyrics or that Em doesn't care about his music is absurd. This is just like Hopsinshadie going around posting "Em is done" in every thread on the board, except that at least you actually know more than ten words.

Also, this post just wasn't fucking funny at all. That's the main problem.

I don't even really hate it though. I hate the fact that it's anywhere near MMLP2.

If this was on Recovery... it'd be a great Recovery track.

I hate the fact that Em can't stick to the vision any more - and also that he's so willing to settling for such generic choices. Are you seriously telling me you're not even in the slightest disappointed in his ambition when you just glance MMLP1 singles vs. these and him not even ATTEMPTING to top his conceptual or musical brilliance in any way with some kind of concept or new theme but rather getting Rihanna to sing her 95th million hook in a row over a beat lifted from fucking Strange Clouds, rapping about the trappings of fame and fanfare again. Really? For MMLP2?

These choices / settling for this... you see this as the top of the bar do you? For 3 and a half years wait. I'm amazed at any fan who isn't even a little underwhelmed at this wait for this.

[Kill You]

The Monster is underwhelming, but dude, just wait for the album before you jump to conclusions. The Relapse singles released before were the worst songs.

[EminemBase]

But it's not a direct sequel to MMLP and Eminem himself even said that. It's a totally different album and tbh I'd have it no other way.

But he said it's a 'revisitation' of the themes.

It doesn't need to SOUND the same, so when I say all of this - on no level am I talking about flow or style; I'm talking about mindset and themes. Which, HE said he is revisiting / that is how this is a sister album to MMLP. Because if the themes / mindset isn't there... how is it MMLP anything?

The title is meaningless if there isn't some kind of conceptual connection.

Obviously it won't sound the same, I don't want it to, few people do.

But how in the holy fuck is Em rapping in this way about these things a revisitation or in any way related to MMLP. I know it's redundant to keep saying but his mindset and themes here are very well suited to Recovery. There was no need to call this MMLP if it's going to be more of this.

And if it's going to be more "Rap God" (which I presume it will be) than this... songs like this will sound ridiculously out of place, just like "Lighters" did on H:TS.

[EminemBase]

The Monster is underwhelming, but dude, just wait for the album before you jump to conclusions. The Relapse singles released before were the worst songs.

I'm in no doubt that the album will contain total genius @ rapping.

My frustration is in him ruining the coherence of say... 70% brilliance with 30% bullshit which does not fit. Which most of the time... is not even bad music, but just not of the same family.

Ever since Encore this has been his issue.

Encore was half stupid and half serious, which is why it feels so 50/50 and unhinged.

Then you have Relapse which is like almost entirely consistent brilliance, but again those few tracks tacked on from different musical families. Then the same with "Lighters" on H:TS...

And now I think it will be the exact same with "Survival" and "The Monsters".

It's like he keeps thinking he can just sneak in these unfitting hits and they won't ruin the album, but they keep doing so, because they're so wildly different from the album material.

[Kill You]

Well I like all of the song's he's released so far. The Monster the least but I still can enjoy it. Oh well, he added this song so he can get radio plays, none of the other songs are exactly radio friendly.

This is the MMLP of 2013. 2013 is a very different place than 2000. This isn't trying to be MMLP, this is trying to be an standalone album. Consider what I said very carefully. This is the 2013 MMLP. Beats today are different, the standard for good music is different, and Eminem is smart enough to know that most of his fanbase wants Slim Shady and that's what we're getting. It's good to have just a few songs for the casual fans not to alienate them as well. And we're getting a bonus CD because he most likely knew people would be polarized by this song.

Listen to The Monster and Survival, the lyrics, and tell me that's not at least a little bit like MMLP.

And for the record I love Survival and have absolutely no problem with it being on the album. It's one of his best anthem tracks since TES tbh.

[EminemBase]

No, I'm not disappointed at all because MMLP2 is all about where Marshall Mathers is now, and that's a much different place than where he was 13 years ago. It's unrealistic to expect him to equal the quality of that first album, but I love all four of the songs we've gotten so far. I've been very critical of recent Em, so I'm very impressed and a little surprised at that. This album is not a sequel, and Em has been extremely clear about that. It's a revisit to the themes. And whether you like it or not, he absolutely is revisiting those themes.

HHH, seriously stop saying the... Everybody says the same shit.

Right:

1. I KNOOOOOOW it is not a sequel but a revisitation, I state that I know this and have read what Em says in practically every post that i make. But overcoming odds is NOT revisiting the themes of MMLP, how the fuck is that MMLP? It's not about where he's at or him imitating his old self or thoughts, it's about there being SOME connection to theme or mentality. There ain't.

2. We know he is in a different place. Saying he is rapping about where he is now does not make any sense in this being MMLP-anything. Eminem always raps about where he is, every fucking album; that is not unique to MMLP, that is the foundation of every Eminem album ever.

- What makes MMLP MMLP? = Political commentary. Self-mockery. Challenging standards.

That's about it. That's the only 'themes' he needs to revist in order for this to be MMLP II, so stop acting like I want him to imitate his old self or say the same shit, I absolutely do NOT mean that.

On "The Monster", beyond the odd silly line... he's almost entirely self-serious and in a 'I'M STRONG, SOBER AND READY TO BEAT THE WORLD' mentality, which is Recovery.

How can that possibly be a revisiation or ever related to MMLP? It's about how he writes about his current state, not what he says. And the way he writes about himself on "Survival" and "The Monster" is not MMLP or of that thinking. So why bother even relating them.

This song was not a revisit, nor was Survival. You are just using completely derivative excuses. I'm just going to be pompous and tell it like it is. It's a prodigious disappointment. Em clearly is selling out, stop lying to yourself. Trash is trash.

[Kill You]

He liked the song on first listen, gtfo of here dude. He didn't force himself to do anything or find excuses. It's not trash and you're gonna fucking do backflips when you hear all the other songs.

They're just gonna be like this one, Kill you. Remember what slimbish said.
