Maybe your taste for rap is just bad dawg. From what I recall, I saw your username mentioning Danny Brown as one of the best in the game. Bwahahaha. Now think about that for a second.
Never use anything from MMLP2 as an example of good music.
The only great song off that album was rap god. Everything else was either barely decent, mediocre or downright terrible.
XXX is better than Slim Shady LP, MMLP1 and Eminem Show combined
I love Danny...but come on now.

Majestad I don't know why you even bother here though tbh.
As am I, they have both been on fire for a couple of years now and I don't see them cooling down any time soon
Was awful the first few times, would rather not revisit it.
Eminem putting out anything half as good as XXX at this point would be a miracle.
It's hilarious to engage into discussions with the Eminem detractors. What surprises me is how they catch feelings when someone says Shady is the best rapper, as if that was an uncommon opinion.
Like the saying goes, Em might be your favorite rapper's favorite rapper.
Always up for new Em even if it will never match his best work.
Which is the same for all greats who are no longer at their peak.
MMLP2 was his best since The Eminem Show so hopefully he can keep going in that direction and not what Recovery was. Really enjoyed mmlp2.
Give me Relapse production with MMLP2 Em which means no accents or yelling on every song.
BTW is this news real? Sounds fake as hell

Now that would the best ideal scenario.
I am pretty sure that saying is used when talking about Andre 3000.
Let me see:
- Relapse was
- Recovery was
- MMLP2 was
To me, musically Eminem is done. Of course this new album will sell, of course his stans will praise it as AOTY and of course he will be relevant after it, but this dude is incapable of releasing a interesting album.
Watch this shit going to have another Rihanna feature again just to prove what his music of today is all about.

Not even excited for it after the corn we got last year.
More accurately, you only listen to Eminem if you like MMLP2. I mean even on this page you have people bigging up Rhyme or Reason as a standout from that album when it's pretty much a 10x shittier version of a TDE song.
MMLP2 defense force has been broken down enough times though, it's not worth dedicating another thread to it. Eminem's style has become dated, and in his attempts to refresh it or appeal to new audiences he's emphasized all the wrong things in his raps. Not just the screaming, the stop and start flow (anti-flow?) damn near makes the project unlistenable.

I agree with most of this.
I just hope king kendrick releases his this year. Aftermath make it happen.
finally a rap album that's worth listening to this year

Having a song with Rihanna defines what your whole album is? Dawg, did you even listen to MMlP2?

Is this where people are supposed to list what they listen to in an attempt to validate themselves to you?
Out of Eminem's last three albums, the only album I can call pure trash is Recovery. (And that's not saying MMLP2 or Relapse were good either)
Recovery had yelling and singing on every song + horrible beats + corny one liners + super emo lyrics.
At least Relapse had some fun word play and excellent beat product by Dr. Dre. Even if it did have those silly, annoying accents. In fact, Relapse was the last time that an Eminem album had good beats, period.

Yes because Em has never put out anything dark, witty, and or emotional. Oh and he never experiments with his flow. Not known for that.
I don't get why "rap fans" get so angry at people liking Em. Even if some people only listen to him and aren't rap fans in general, he is considered one of the best ever by actual rap fans and his peers. It's not like it's Soulja Boi here who general fans are claiming to be the best. And the same sort of fans exist for all rappers who break through the mainstream barrier.
And of course he doesn't put out his best work now but that's not because he doesn't try. He isn't in his prime nor does he have his finger on the pulse of the current scene. He still tries super hard with lyrics and rhymin his butt off. A lazy effort would showcase no technical ability. He even stepped out his comfort zone with an album like Recovery even if it didn't work.
He just needs someone to control, edit, and guide an album. For example the last album, 4 of the 5 bonus tracks were better than a lot of songs which actually made the album. How is that possible? Someone should have stepped in and fixed that. Unfortunately Dre isn't that person.
opinions, what are they?
this is why I don't fuck with most of music-gaf. Super elitist attitude you guys have man.

facts only.
PD's comment is obviously not a scientific fact, but the sentence right after that one in my post and other recurring examples are what keep that sort of evaluation of Em fans alive and not completely unfounded.
I'm not being elitist here. Em is one of the greatest MCs to ever live, and arguably the greatest. Of course music is subjective, but you can still discuss merits of artist's output and talk about why something is good/bad. Everything is perspective, but it's worth talking about if you can back it up. And MMLP2 does absolutely horrible at being good. Tired/in some cases borderline stolen production, loss of diversity in his style, aforementioned loss of sight for what made him great in the first place, etc.

Everything after Eminem Show/8mile is baaaaaaaad, really bad. There's a few bits and pieces of what he once was but it's mostly a mess. And I never thought this would happen but every album he's gotten progressively worse. I didn't think it could get worse than Encore, but now some of it is definitely listenable compared to MMLP2 or Recovery.

Rap is a young man's game (Yeezus is the exception) I don't have a lot of faith for him to recapture anything from his younger days. He's not that guy anymore, for good and bad.
