Do you guys think on MMLP2...

[UnoDeuce]

He did a much better job with the punchlines? I can't think of any off of the top of my head where he tried to explain it (In other words...get it calm batman...etc.) like he did in much of Recovery/BME. Such as in Bad Guy with the 9hrs 45 minutes thing, not a lot of people would have picked up on it but he didn't explain it, and that made it so much cooler to figure it out by yourself instead of him telling you the very next line. I'm blanking right now but maybe you all could give more examples of good punchlines in MMLP2

True words OP.

Off of Groundhog Day:

So let these words lift
Because all I got is bars for you dumbbells
And yours ain't working out

Pure fucking genius right there that I didn't catch until many listens/someone pointed it out. MMLP 2 is full of little gems and Easter eggs that you just don't pick up on during the first few listens yet is awesome when you figure them out.

Another classic is off of Evil Twin:

And I'm nuts
But then again who the fuck wants a plain Eminem

MMLP 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Recovery

[brady50]

The 'saw your face' line on 'Baby'

[Mr Change]

They are less abundant and less straight forward, more clever too

[shadyblogger]

Yeah I'm trying to think of any aspect of Recovery that is better than MMLP 2. Nope, can't think of any.

[Brainless BadGuy]

The punch lines are far better on MMLP2 and Groundhog Day has the best imo

Don't make me step on you and make you wine grapes

Cause feelings scar, but egos bruise worse
And the truth hurts, shit no wonder you're sore losers < the way he delivers that

[Brainless BadGuy]

SPOILER WARNING

That 9hrs 45mins line is amazing to me! How did he know his discography was exactly this long when he hadn't even completed MMLP2 yet?

[Jaba]

Whats the 9nhrs 45 mineutes one?

[shadyblogger]

9 hours and 45 minutes sounds a bit off. I feel like it would be less.

9 hours and 45 minutes sounds a bit off. I feel like it would be less.

Not including bonus tracks/deluxe editions either, btw...well, according to Rap Genius anyway:


Infinite - 37 minutes
The Slim Shady LP - 59 minutes (96)
Marshall Mathers LP - 72 minutes (168)
The Eminem Show - 77 minutes (245)
Encore - 77 minutes (322)
Relapse - 76 minutes (398)
Relapse: Refill - 33 minutes (431)
Recovery - 76 minutes (508)
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 - 78 minutes (585)

May not actually be true but it's pretty eery anyways. Em's attention to detail on this album, especially "Bad Guy" is fucking precise.

Oh nice. Thanks for the laydown of each album added together. That is insane.

[Emadyville]

his lines on mmlp2 and the bonus tracks are too fucking good, which is why i think im putting that up there as top 2 for me from em (in addition to other reasons)

[Kill You]

Yeah, he got a lot better at them most definitely. Everything about MMLP2 is improved.

[yoda you can call me]

lol MMLP2 makes Recovery look so bad!

So bad that's it's so good

OT. MMLP2 has erased all doubt to anyone, that he fell off. No one should ever question his skills again. #genius

[Shpongle]

lol MMLP2 makes Recovery look so bad!

True that, always thought Recovery was average, but now that MMLP2 is out i totally forgot about Recovery

[Brainless BadGuy]

I don't even remember listening to Recovery for the very first time.
I remember Relapse and MMLP2 like it was yesterday...that says it all
