    I'm actually in the minority that was never really a fan of it. I feel it has the choppiest flow on the album.

    Best use of a sample on MMLP2

    One of my favorite post hiatus songs

    Love it. The 2nd verse is fantastic and I personally think it has the best lyrics on the album. Very reminiscent of old Em.

    'With great power comes absolutely no responsibility for content
    Completely, despondent and condescending
    The king of nonsense and controversy is on a beat killing spree
    Your honor, I must plead guilty, cause I sparked a revolution
    Rebel without a cause who caused the evolution
    Of rap, to take it to the next level, boost it
    But several rebuked it, and whoever produced it
    ("Hip-hop is the devil's music") Does that mean it belongs to me?
    Cause I just happen to be, a white honky devil with two horns
    That don't honk but every time I speak you hear a beep
    But, lyrically, I never hear a peep, not even a whisper
    Rappers better stay clear of me, b----, cause it's the..'

    One day people will appreciate Wicked Ways, Shady XV, Right For Me, Fine Line, Psychopath Killer, Die Alone, Kings never die, Phenomenal, Insane, Hello, Speedom, 3 AM, Stay Wide Awake, Love Game (esp. 3rd verse), Thats all she wrote, Rhymes or reason, So Much Better, Survival, Cinderella Man, Won't Back Down, Seduction, Love The Way You Lie (1&2), Medicine Ball, Won't Back Down, and Desperation. Then they how Eminem never fell off and been always on the top of his game.

    Wicked Ways is slept on AF.. while it's above Evil Twin and Brainless, I don't see how people hate its beat (Sound more than perfect and amazing to me).

    MMLP2:
    1- Wicked Ways
    2- Evil Twin
    3- Brainless/Rap God/Survival


    In this exact moment, I can see people after Em retirement or death saying: "Wow he still produced some GOAT s---, how did we sleep on it"

    To any Young Thug fan. Everybody knows your fav cRapper sucks, he'll stay small piece of s---. and an album that included the song Fack has sold more than he could in 5 careers.

    You're lonely pathetic teenagers listen to senseless catchy music. Nobody respects except you.

    For me actually it's either Relapse or MMLP2. Both are genius on their own way.

    Somedays I love MMLP2 and others Relapse.

    and the answer to your question is because they expected TES flow but they got something 180 degree different, also it's the first album of Eminem where he isn't angry.

    This album is 100% percent Em

    The label not interfering makes me appreciate it so much more

    Agree, he didn't give a single f---.. Got out of the box and created something new that is interesting with great story telling, lyrics scheme, beats, choruses, and ideas.

    The accent sometimes gives a unique vibe and make the songs better, it depends on the mood.

    Just hearing Stay Wide Awake blows my mind, perfect song from all aspects. in the second verse, every word has another word rhymes with it in the next line. He told a story from two perspectives (The r--ist and the victim), great beat, and GOAT chorus.

    Agree it might be the only post hiatus Solo LP where Eminem been himself and did what he wanted 100%

    LOL, love his flow in this song, and when he rapped in Christopher Reeves persona it was the best part of the song.
