Do you think it's better than Relapse or at least as good?


I dunno man... that's a tough question right now.

Initially I was entranced with the musical ride of MMLP2, as i listened... it just felt like a musical adventure and I was consistently surprised by the musical ingenuity, and quality.

Lyrically and conceptually I was impressed off the bat but not blown away... I just enjoyed everything I heard, and I think MMLP2 appreciation may swing both ways and that the album's standing may improve with time.

With Relapse... I was totally in love and addicted right away...

I don't know. I'm finna let the dust settle on MMLP2 a while longer before I try pit it against it.

I don't even have to think of it.


I'd even put it above SSLP, but that's probably just me


Not sure about that one tbh


Who knows, my opinion might change but I doubt it.

MMLP2>Relapse
MMLP2~MMLP

Bad Guy> Stan
Brainless> Marshall Mathers
Headlights> Kim
Evil Twin=Criminal
Rhyme or Reason<Who Knew
So Much Better<Kill You
Berzerk<TRSS
So Far<I'm Back (close- I can't definitively decide)
Love Game<Drug Ballad
Survival= Under the Influence
Asshole= Bitch Please II
Legacy< The Way I Am (both great songs)
Rap God> Amityville
Stronger Than I Was> Remember Me(not a great comparison)
The Monster<Kids

The MMLP edges out its successor by 2 songs, which shows that it's more consistent. However, IMO they're nearly equal because if So Far> I'm back, they're tied. Also IMO MMLP2 has more top ten Em songs than MMLP.

Edit: With Bonus songs replacing the duds on MMLP2. MMLP2> MMLP. Though it's not a fair comparison...

Anyways, Cheers to a classic Em album :b:
I walk around like a space cadet, place your bets
Who's likely to become a serial killer? Case of tourettes
Fuck, fuck, fuck! Can't take the stress
I make a mess as the day progresses
Angry and take it out on the neighbors hedges like this is how I'll cut
Your face up bitches with these hedge trimming scissors with razor edges
Imagination's dangerous, it's the only way to escape this mess
And make the best of this situation, I guess

Yes, it is.
Predominantly, predominantly, everything's always predominantly
Predominantly white, predominantly black

Do you think that I'm kidding?

Every song on MMLP shits on every song on MMLP2.

Kill You is much better than Bad Guy. Bad Guy's first two verses disqualify it immediately.

His voice/delivery on Remember Me and UTI is better than his voice on any MMLP2 songs. The only argument you really have is from a writing standpoint.

Amityville, though? No way. 10 syllable multis in the first verse, and a vocal performance in the second verse which is untouchable. That's the kind of magic Eminem is talking about on Bad Guy when he says he managed to trap lightning in a bottle.

If you evaluate an album, you do it as a whole.
Em is specifically great at arranging songs and giving an album an atmosphere and a story.
You can't compare songs in numerical order like that, it's like taking a poet's lines out of context and comparing them.
There's a flow to an album just like there's a flow to a song.
Because, I forgot the chorus
But that's okay cause y'all saying bust a rhyme for us
