    The important difference between everything on MMLP and the vast majority of modern Eminem's songs is in why he talked and how he talked.

    Each line, whether it was about a blo-jo- or not, had a reason to be said, it wasn't a random line thrown in just for the sake of it. If there was something childish and immature, it was done on purpose, and he was completely aware of what he was doing and what for. Everything didn't sound forced, not even crazy and silly stuff like his verse on Under the influence.

    Nowadays his logic for most of the time seems to be something like this "oh this is a cool wordplay, and this is a good pun, I must definitely put this somewhere in a verse".

    I don't think cover is horrible. I don't think I loved it neither. It's just a cover... I guess I'd have cared a bit more if it was better but whatever. I'm more interested in getting a nice, buffy booklet with photos and stuff in it. I'm gonna buy the physical and physicals are only good for me for their booklets lol. I don't even think I can play cds unless I go to my car anymore lol, I just don't have the equipment for it at home.

    The title is literally the best title possible. Gtfo. Sick of this complaining, not liking anything but yet still more interested than an average fan bs.

    Maybe they did, maybe booklet will have it. Who knows...

    It still has some of his greatest songs on there in Bad Guy, Legacy, Rap God as well as top tier songs like Wicked Ways, Beautiful Pain, and Evil Twin.

    There was a few duds but the highs outweigh the lows

    I may understand the hate towards the sound of MMLP2 but It is written so well, interestingly and compellingly that this aspect itself elevates the album in my eyes.

    This is guaranteed to be on the greatest hits album. One of the best verses he dropped in the last 17 years and he must like it since he performs it live every time he does a show

    Not but it's useless without a second side full of news songs, especially in 2022

    What a beautiful verse this was. One of the only times after his hiatus (if not the only time) he managed to match the vibe of a song, stay on topic, deliver introspective bars and not ruin it with r-----ed fast robot rapping.

    2010 is an underrated era. Recovery would have been a new skl classic if he did his own hooks and cut out the s-----y "fun" songs.

    It's honestly crazy that it's the same man who made Kamikaze within 8 months. Whether you think it's great or not, it was a huuuuuuuuge improvement

    Well I agree but collectors will sure spend money on it

    People whining about the cover lmfaoo who gives a s--- about album covers. Its the music that matters. And its all songs we already have so who cares (except for 1 song we still get)

    I guess so, especially with Eminem it could work out. But for example: Cudi dropped a greatest hits album called The Boy Who Flew To The Moon Vol. 1 (lol) last week or so and nobody gave af (I'll send you 10€ if you knew about that), which kinda made me realize that this is just not the move anymore lmao. Only good thing to came out of this was the song Love being released for streaming.

    What I really don’t understand is the walk on water love. I f---ing hate hate hate hate that song. I remember the day it debuted I was so f---ing disappointed. Everyone online seems to love it though.

    As I do agree with you. Although Most classic albums have iconic album covers associated with them. That even becomes more of the case for people who want to collect vinyls of said albums. When it comes to modern Em idc what the album cover looks like as long as the d--- music is good. But this cover does look cheap or overdone.
