    No, that's because of Dre.

    And he produced more songs on MMLP2 than Relapse.

    Pretty solid album overall, IMO. Favorite track, like so many other people, is Fine Line. And I really enjoy Yela's verse on Twisted

    Best thing he has done in a long f---ing time, His production is top notch and verses seem to fit better with his own beats. I expected a whatever album and got a nice surprise. s--- it.

    That Em bridge on Twisted is flawless. Shame about the hook which could have been so much better. The same goes with Die Alone.
    Best song has to be either Vegas or Fine Line.

    If you've uploaded it, send me a link as well? Thanks.

    Agree fully that Fine Line bridge should've been the hook.

    Looks like it's projected to be #1 on the charts with 140-150k

    Relistened today. The title track has some pretty r-----ed parts, but overall I like it. I'd honestly prefer he rapped like he did in the part where he talked about why he always "raps like he's grabbin his nostrils." Fine Line and Yall Ready Know held up. Twisted and Guts Over Fear are ok I guess (I like the content of the latter, but the song itself kinda bores me). It's cool that he put Danny Brown on Detroit vs. Everybody but I don't really like the song. Rest of the album is either horrible or doesn't do much for me.

    If Eminem's going to just spit mindless battle raps, can't he at least make it sound good like on Yall Ready Know? I don't even like any of the artists in Slaughterhouse, but the premo beat combined with how effortless they sound make for a pretty enjoyable song.

    This will be rated higher than his other projects in the future because Eminem didn't have many opportunities to screw up on this

    I still laugh when everybody thought that Die Alone was going to be the most emotional song he ever wrote.

    can't stop listening to Psychopath Killer and Vegas. defintely my two highlights from the album.
    Em's solo s--- for the most part was really good too, the best of which is probably Fine Line. only track i would be fine with being excluded from the album would be Bane. the rest of the album went the f--- in. hopefully when Em puts out his next album it has a majority of self-produced tracks cuz his beats on this were really f---ing good.

    When Right for Me winds down and the beat plays out to end the songs I can't help but think I miss the days of epic Eminem adlibs to end songs and how he never does that anymore...

    I love Psychopath Killer, song is simply too good. Fine Line is pretty dope as well, just like Yela's verse on Twisted. Till It's Gone is pretty good too.

    I really didn't like shady xv. I got all hyped for it and was pretty bummed out. I like encore and relapse eminem a lot. My favorite song on mmlp2 was so much better. Idk why most of his new stuff just doesn't get me like his old stuff did. I did go back and listen to recovery and I like it a little better then when it dropped, even on that my favorite song was so bad or on fire.

    The Fack sample in Shady XV and Eminem saying, "I put that s--- on a greatest hits album... Now that was awesome!" made me lol.

    It's good to be back :emoji_thumbsup: How long has this forum been up?

    As for the album, it was really good imo but it is losing replay value very fast. It should of been 2 discs full of new stuff. Right For Me --->
