MMLP2

Marshal Mathers LP 2

Marshal Mathers LP 2? More like Relapse part 3 becuase so far all 3 albums by Shady were awful.

The opening track "Bad Guy" is a long drawn out 7 minutes and 14 seconds single.  What rap song has been this long ever? Not only is it entirely too long but why make it the first track?

 The song "Survival" is the third single released and the fifth track on the album. Eminem makes sure to use Skylar Grey as much as possible on MMLP2...hope she's getting a big cut.

"Rhyme Or Reason" uses the music from the song "Time of the Season" by Argent and Em even uses the melody of the chorus to sing his words as well. "Berzerk" was the first single released and contains both a Billy Squire sample ("Stroke") and Beastie Boys sample ("Fight For Your Right To Party").  When I heard this on the radio I immediately thought this was a joke but alas it wasn't...to my shock and amazement it was an actual Eminem song.

Thankfully, the single "Rap God" handedly made the album worth giving a listen to. With the fastest rap lines Slim has ever come out with and more punch lines in this song  than Lil Wayne has in his entire catalog, this song has got to be the best song on the album. I got a little laugh out of "Brainless" as it opens up with a sample from Super Bad when the women at the liquor store says "Eminem the rapper."

"Asshole" is YET another song with Skyler singing the hook. While she is a great singer, I don't think she needs to be on half of the album. Also this is also another song on the album when he reuses rap lines we have head from his first Marshal Mathers LP. "The Monster" starts off with Rhianna's beautiful voice stating that shes friends with the monster under her bed. Great lyricism and delivery from both artists here.

"So Far..." begins with yet another classic rock sample. This one being "Life's Been Good To Me So Far" by Joe Walsh. Not only did he used the music melody of the song but he uses the hook as well. "Love Game" is now the fourth song in his album that he has sampled so far....in this song he used "Game of Love" by Wayne Fonta and the Mindbenders. Kendrick Lemar uses the melody to sign his rendition of this classic 1960s song. Nate Ruess from fun. makes quite possibly the second weirdest collaboration Eminem has done since him and Elton John on "Headlights" and makes it even sound like a fun. song with the amount of auto tune Nate uses and the simplistic post-emo drum beat.

If you were able to get the deluxe edition then "Wicked Ways", the last track on the album bringing the grand total to 21 tracks. This song contains an interpolation of "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons sung by X Ambassador. He mentions Violent J from Insane Clown Posse saying the two are similar possibly indicating that Eminem is over the beef officially.

So with all the samples, recycled lyrics, and obscene ammount of tracks, I would say ONE listen is all you need to hear from this album.
