    Surprised to see a lot of negative comments to Ems verse on PK I thought it was great. Its one of those songs you'd hear from his camp that you wanted him to be on but he never was.

    I wasn't feeling Em's newer tracks, they sound forced and rushed. Nice to hear the original lose yourself demo tho

    Couldn't even get through this a second time. His flow is so f---ing awful now and he has nothing to talk about. This was a waste of my time.

    That lose yourself demo tho >>>>

    How em I a puppet? I hardly agree with the "Elite" on SL, and always had my own opinions on his work. Up until now I never regarded his work as trash (Well Encore) but this is straight trash. Enjoyed Recovery and MMLP2 but this is horrible. Especially that terrible flow he's got going on.

    Only time this "new" flow bothered me is on Vegas like the song love a few lines but hate that I can't figure out what he says lol. Also that weird effect he uses every now and again like on songs like GOF or Fine Line is weird. I called you a puppet because you seemed to follow every word every "elite" poster said but obviously loved the old stuff for some reason I thought you were that fitz guy or whatever.

    Nah, I was crazymtf on the old forums. But nah, I always have my own views and hardly give a f--- about what the majority views things haha. But yeah, this album just was a throwaway for me. I listened once, was like meh. Tried again, and even my wife was like "what the h--- is he even saying on half of these?" and we just shut it off from there and listened to Run The Jewels 2 haha.

    Looks like it's going to be opening at #3 this week, behind Taylor Swift and Penatonix. Granted, only around 30% of the sales are in right now so it could finish at #2 over Penatonix, but I doubt it tops Taylor Swift

    It's so frustrating when I'm starting to enjoy an Eminem verse on this album (surprisingly it seems he's started to get his witt back) only to have portions that follow when you can't hear/understand wtf he's saying.

    The album is average but I hate the bad mixing. WTF is going on with Em's sound engineers?

    Glad people are finally admitting MMLP2 is s---. Such a bad, bad album.

    ^Ten times better than this piece of s---. MMLP2 least was polished. This sounds like garbage.

    MMLP2 is more listenable in the literal sense because it's actually mixed correctly and you can understand what the f--- he's saying. Shady XV sounds like it was recorded on garage band
