    Show me how I've "hated" on Eminem, while disregarding what his fans have to say, even ONCE.

    go ahead

    Its hard for me to compare these 2 albums, Recovery came out at the height of my Em obsession and therefore I loved it at the time. As the years past I came to the same realisation many have had about Em since his return. When it came to MMLP2 being released I was a little excited and loved it for about a day. Recovery era has great nostalgia for me and so I consider it much better, and I know I don't and won't have any great memories of MMLP2

    There are people on here that you can call 'haters' even though it's a lame word, but narsh isn't one of them

    it isnt direct hating (for example "emnms shyyt fack him"), but you don't acknowledge a very good album. I don't care if somebody likes it or not, but most songs are lyrically top-notch & full with hints and ambiguities.

    Idk, it's a bit boring to me tbh

    My man I'll have to disagree with u here, which saddens me all of a sudden because you have one of the GOATs in your avy, but, as long as someone justifies his opinion it's not hating imo. If I say Rap God sucks then i'm hating, but if I say Rap GOd sucks because the 2nd verse has lines like ** or ** then it's not mindlessly hating. Not saying it sucks, I just couldn't think of an example rn so I picked Rap God. Ofc Narsh has some weird criteria regarding music, but he's given Em his fair share of chances, it looks like his post 2005 music is just not for him? Idk just my 5 cents

    MMLP2. Recovery is a decent pop rap record. Very safe, very generic, kind of corny in some instances, execution outside of a few tracks isn't great.

    MMLP2 while it doesn't come any where near its predecessor, Eminem was at least able to bring back some characteristics that once made him so great. There was some degree of clever/wittyness, rhymes didn't sound as forced and actually sounded effortless on some tracks (Baby, Brainless, Groundhog's Day etc, he quit the whole shouting/double time flow for the most part.

    MMLP2 is just consistently better all around, I don't understand how people can praise Eminem's earlier work endlessly but then turn around and claim Recovery is better than MMLP2. There are clear characteristics that you can find in his older music that are in MMLP2 as well.

    As I said, I don't care if anyone says something like "I don't like MMLP2" or "Rap God is in my opinion a really bad song", but nearly everyone here claims that Eminem is s--- and lyrically one of the worst Rappers, which isnt true lmao

    Eminem is pretty hit or miss in regards to writing now in days. Only rapper that I can think of that's more hit or miss is Wayne but even he has stepped it up as of recent.

    yeah. you German smartass. the MMLP2's price is much more expensive than Recovery though. but come to think again, Recovery is always defined as one of his bests. Almost Famous is by far my fav in Recovery.
    I dont f--- with no hands me down. :idk:

    Die Alone was by far the worst Eminem song on XV, but it is (sonically) still pretty decent (the chorus has some s-----y parts imo).
