    SSLP. Eminem was designed to sold out at the beginning... Even though his content his style changed thru years he was always a sell out and he remained the same. I don't give a f--- tho. I always liked Eminem and still like him.

    Dread or Alive Kamikaze should've been released 3 years ago

    "Pretty sure....." nice assumption you made there
    no b----, it was a perfectly calm convo and he came out of nowhere to troll, someone was even confused as to why he did so. it was phenomenally out of place. But fine, it's a troll so there MUST have been a reason, it's not like trolls can be random or anything

    No I'M saying exact opposite. Yes he should do as he did since he came out with SSLP. Being a sell out is a good thing.

    Recovery. I stopped f---in with him heavy after that album. Definitely cut all ties once I heard that berserk bs. I didn't even know he had an album named mmlp2. What was that like?

    Artistic integrity was first truly sacrificed on Recovery. Eminem has definitely made music geared towards pop audiences before but Recovery was the first time Eminem made music that was not Eminem at its foundation. A definite 180 on all of the things he used to be outspokenly against. The general reception to Relapse was not good and had absolute no staying power, that birthed the PR campaign of "eminem thought his last album was trash" and completely cashed in on the newly sober/more mature Eminem that made motivational music. Who know's what the album after Relapse would have sounded like, but in the midst of this obvious PR campaign to make him publicly favorable again, I do think he truly realized the accent was beyond stupid. MMLP2 may have been a cash grab with its title, but most of that music is probably music Eminem wanted to make and it's a pretty good indicator of where Eminem is career wise. I still think it's better than Recovery and Relapse but it's still not very good. He's just over the hill, but at least it was honest.

    But why is the question. The n----- will sell records regardless, why the f--- does he continue to compromise and release garbage like 'the monster' - MMLP2 felt like a manufactured product, another rehearsed exercise in the Eminem brand with no clear artistic intent or vision. Tracks like 'Legacy' could have been something but instead, we heard a pre-made, horrendous chorus on a melodramatic, lack luster example of production. 'So Much Better' was literally recycled content. Where is the precision and innovation and attention to detail that he had in his earlier career? He has endless resources yet he uses none of them. What is with all these tired rock anthems about being an underdog? How the f--- is the highest selling hip-hop artist an underdog? The skill is there but the execution fails over and over again. ShadyXV had zero redeemable content - tracks like 'Fine Line', if you really look at it, its just another example of recycled content. Shouting out the f---ing outsidaz in 2015? Why? Not even going to discuss Southpaw - it was essentially a repackaged version of ShadyXV. n----- better come correct next album.

    Well I hope the couple of songs he did with Rihanna at least got him a handjob from her.

    I'm not gonna lie I liked that love the way you lie song a bit lol. That should have been Dina Rae's big hit tho.
