I like the 5 o'clock free crack giveaway.

Meh... not really feeling it.

UM...

jadakiss is badass

It's hard to be a poor and angry rapper after you've made millions. Same thing happened to Xzibit (his first two albums are classics). After these guys lose the chip on their shoulder they don't have much to write about.

What you say makes perfect sense. He isn't exactly on the "Rock Bottom" anymore, but that doesn't mean he can't come with good lyrics.

Always seemed like emo rap to me.

"My life sucks because of my mommy and my ex..."

That was bad. Hopefully that is the weakest track on the album, otherwise its going to be shit.

Good point.

The EP with Royce da 5'9" was banging. He was on point for that one but he was also playing against Royce. The lyrics were nothing ground breaking but the technicality of it was great.

I think Em is trying to be too many things at this point and really has no direction.

Uh, Em just sampled Billy Squier.

That's just weird.

After 3 listens, I've decided it's awesome.

Agreed. I think it's pretty awesome. Definatley has an old school Beasties vibe.

"MC Ren, and I don't mean Stimpy's friend"

LMAO Got a kick out of that.

I liked it.

Drug Ballad is about one of the best ****in songs ever..that's one of the first time ya heard it albums. Makes your hair stand up.

You smoke meth to it

I show class ****er.

That * ain't a F ya dig?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

WooWoo:lame:

LMAO right on.

After a second listen; this song is still pretty ****ing weak.

This had better be the absolute shittiest track off of that album if he hopes to replicate MMLP.

FYP

He's setting himself up for failure with that title. I'll be hoping for the best though. If we could get an album that's even half as good as the original MMLP then it's a win.

Pretty much this.

My thoughts exactly. I LOVE it.

This exactly. I think it's impossible for him to match the intensity that put SSLP and MMLP over the top. That said, he is still a ****ing awesome lyricist and his albums are usually worth having. Encore was bad, but I even liked Relapse. Not his best but there are a few amazing tracks on that album.

I guess I just don't give a shit about the Beastie Boys outside of 'Sabotage', so it just isn't doing it for me.

agreed

Not a big fan of Berzerk...

Dont see anyway that this comes even close to MMLP, but it can still be a good album.

Ok, Who can list all the references in that...

Love him, or hate him, this track is proof that this dude is the best rapper in the game today and no one really wants to even try to touch him. I feel sorry for the mutha****a that tries to lay that one back down.

Sounds nothing like the MMLP.

Bummer.

Someone please send Eminem some Mobb Deep albums before this is released. Maybe he'll get back to that kind of background.

Wow. Gotta listen to that a few more times to really digest it.

"Rap God" is really, really influenced by Mac Lethal.

Really like it.

yowza

Very nice. I wasnt too impressed with the last song, but he smashed it out of the park on this one. Nice to see he brought some speed to the table as well.
Pretty impressive song.

That track gives me hope that this album can be very good despite the first single. Like sorter said, it doesn't have the MMLP vibe I'd hoped for so far, but that was a pipe dream to begin with.

Wow...I do have to say Rap God is an insane track.

How?

Rap God is off the chain.

That's some pretty lofty expectations for naming his follow up in really his 1st major album that is going to be highly promoted, pushed out during the buy holiday season, and supported by a large scale world tour. Maybe the time away gave him some good material to put together a full album?

I'm hoping it will turn out to be great, because who wouldn't like to have another classic rap album that's worth listening to for longer than it simply being in the top 40 and in heavy rotation on the radio- which pay for play has gone overboard.

If it fails to live up to expectations or its album title so be, I'm sure Dr. is just putting his final touches on The Chronic 2- or he'll have something ready in the next decade once he stops playing headphone entrepreneur. Plus, Snoops got The Dogg Pound 2 coming down the line.

I wonder if it's gonna be more mellow indicated by the MM title as opposed to say The Eminem Show- which has one of my favorite tracks on and is a great song- Till I Collapse.

Rap God doesn't sound like his old stuff. Sounds a lot like Mac Lethal.

I like it.

Rap god is garbage.

It's all over the place if you're familiar with Mac Lethal, both is songs and his popular fast rap YouTube videos. The most obvious part where Em is actually just biting Mac Lethal is the part of Rap God that starts at 2:05, where he's repeating the phrase "______-looking boy." That's a straight bite from Mac Lethal's joke song, "Lookin' Bro."

The next Eminem mark my words.

Eminem is off the chain and so is Mac Lethal. Both cultivated their insane skills while being on the mean streats!

I just like the fact that Eminem is finally getting away from him yelling his lines. Ever since the Eminem Show, most of his songs have him yelling over beats. I prefer his more melodic early stuff. Sounds like his next will be more in tune with her early stuff.

Read in my Rolling Stone this week that he was still messing with the album weeks before release and that is unheard of in the music industry.

Unheard of? I guess you missed every single article about Kanye's Yeezus.

Em ft Rihanna - "The Monster"....

http://www60.zippyshare.com/v/16028365/file.html

So so disappointing. Em is indeed still not back.

Just another dumb downed, radio friendly piece of garbage aimed at teenage girls. Em's verses were shit, beat is horrible, Rihanna's hook is just like every other Rihanna mainstream hook....Just terrible.

It's not a rap song, its a pop song. Eminem is mostly a pop artist now a days. So much hope is just lost now. This and Survival are just terrible songs.

I made it 30 seconds in and I hate myself for it. The slow motion run should have been a huge red flag.

Eminem has always been pop. Who gives a shit. Music is about making $$$ and if redundant hooks and Rihanna collaborations is what makes $$$, w/e. I'd do it too.

Rolling Stones words not mine.

So it got leaked.

Just started listening. Off to a very good start with Bad Guy.


And I completely agree too many of his songs have him yelling over a beat. Hopefully the rest of the songs on this album are as good as Bad Guy.

Coming from the perspective of Stan's little brother was a cool touch.

(Also got a "Broncos suck"... just sayin'.)

yeah, that was awesome.

Enjoyed it until the 4:04 mark.

It's sad how Eminem's latest washed-up pop garbage gets all the hype and the new Deltron 3030 album dropped last month with no fanfare whatsoever. Mainstream hip-hop really is dead.

I thought the new Deltron 3030 sucked. Man, was I disappointed in that release.

It wasn't as good as the original for sure, but there were some gems on there. I like how "The Return" was a sequel of sorts to "3030" from the first album, and I like "Do You Remember." Del's flow on Event 2 is kind of weird, though - it's more monotone and relaxed than the first album.

I hate that ****ing song on the Black Ops commercial. I'm 50/50 on the beastie boys sample, Rap God was awesome....and this song has a catchy hook, i just wish he removed the middle of the song when he goes all "stan" on us. I like the way it starts and I like the way it ends.

The album has sparked my curiosity at least.

"Now who's a bundle of sticks you punk
And here's your broncos hat
You can have that shit back
cause they suck"

ROFL

That's priceless.

Not really impressed by the song however.

I know right!

I was gonna post that too but then i got lazy. That shit is hilarious.

On a side note, for whatever reason, when i was a kid i thought that Eminem was a Chiefs fan.

He made some Chiefs references back on his first album and i think that might be part of the reason i identified with his music.

This is icing on the cake.

I think he was born near KC too.

I was actually impressed with how un-pop-sounding most of this album was.

I think calling it "Eminem's latest washed-up pop garbage" is ridiculous.

MMLP2 so far sucks major ass.
Berzerk sucks
Monster garbage
Love Game ft Kenrick Lamar trash
Bad Guy not feeling it
Rap God solid

Wasn't impressed with the singles but after hearing some other songs I will def be picking this up Tuesday. Anybody heard Brainless? Wordplay on that song is unreal. Legacy is very good too, kind of a haunting themed song IMO. Stronger Than I was is a track that is growing on me. I wish Eminem did more singing like this and Haile's Song. The man is very talented.

dderrr

LMAO

Dude's from Australia. Cut him some slack.

He was born in St. Joe.

Yessir. 'Penz's stomping grounds.

So what's with his "derr" comment?

He WAS born near KC.
