    I agree that it sounds completely different. Besides the alfred skits it does sound like a new album with a new sound, but they packed it in a deluxe of side a to make the overall sales of MTBMB look better, a cheap move that alot of artists and labels do. But it wont count as a new album no matter how bad any of us want it. 80k this week will look pretty good thanks to the simple technicality of calling it a deluxe.

    It’s not a sequel it’s basically a double disc, and sells are going towards the same project

    I honestly love him doing lower numbers, he clearly doesn’t care about sales with zero promotion.

    But the best thing about it is he isn’t forced to try to make big pop singles, the album is awesome and pure hip hop. Em making music solely for the competition and love of it produce amazing results

    I doubt Em cares about the sales.
    The sales count to MTBMB anyway, so its a nice plus.

    I mean I dont care however he promotes or calls it, doesnt change the music.

    But.... music to be burried by, calling it a sequel instead of deluxe would have helped I think. I'm not surprised there are people that think its just a deluxe w just a few new songs

    BIGFOOT More than a myth!

    Even without promo this will be considered a flop sales wise!

    I was thinking around 130ish maybe reaching to 150 due to Em being a big name and all, so 70 thousand is a bit of a shock lol.

    Doesn’t really matter too much tho tbf... being 20+ years in the game and still charting in the top 5 is an achievement imo.

    Side B isn't as good as side A. My opinion. But still has great moments

    It's $4 extra dollars because they make you rebuy Side A with Side B. A lot of people don't want to buy it just because that alone f---s with their iTunes library, like me.

    Godzilla acted as the catchy single though it took off..

    Side B did not have a Godzilla type song

    it wasn’t created to maximize sales it was created for the fans. Merry Christmas Stans!

    Hardly any big artist is doing a promo run now. Doesn’t work in the streaming era and is a tiresome method. Look at how bad revival was handled. Also seems like to me that Em must have a agreement with the label, that he will drop music on his terms and label don’t get involved or promote the album. Rumours contract were up with interscope after revival. I think Em just likes making music and rest of it is what ever.

    Easily. People are too hype on good rapping.

    SSLP is artistically amazing and I can't pick apart and laugh at the lyrics like I already can with Side A or B.

    I like both but they're nowhwere near SSLP.

    "Guns Blazing" has grown like f--- on me. The fact it seems like a real story Em is talking about, plus just the production / hook, is like some real... Westcoast s---, isn't too cheesy, it works. Fave b---- Chorus I can never f--- with though.

    PS. Em's ad-libs are lowkey funny "why?", "yeah!" and the POP-EYES sound >>>>

    Yeah, it was one in a lifetime album, I like it a lot, but it's not the type of album I'm usually looking for to study. I put M2BMB so high in my ranking cause of bars, mostly bars

    I feel like people are forgetting just how crazy SSLP was or something? I’m cool with all opinions obviously... loving this Side B cut but not sure what all the Side B >> SSLP talk is?


    A lot of people ask me
    Am I afraid of death?
    h--- yeah, I'm afraid of death
    I don't want to die yet
    A lot of people think that I worship the devil
    That I do all types of r-----ed s---
    Look, I can't change the way I think
    And I can't change the way I am
    But if I offended you
    Good
    'Cause I still don't give a f---
    I'm zoning off of one joint stopping a limo
    Hopped in the window, shopping a demo at gunpoint
    A lyricist without a clue, what year is this?
    f--- a needle here's a sword, body pierce with this
    Living amok, never giving a f---
    Gimme the keys, I'm drunk and I've never driven a truck
    But I smoke dope in a cab
    I'll stab you with the sharpest knife I can grab
    Come back the next week and re-open your scab
    A killer instinct runs in the blood
    Emptying full clips and burying guns in the mud
    I've calmed down now I was heavy once into drugs
    I could walk around straight for two months with a buzz
    My brain's gone, my soul's worn and my spirit is torn
    The rest of my body's still being operated on
    I'm ducked the f--- down while I'm writing this rhyme
    'Cause I'm probably gonna get struck with lightning this time
