Eminem Kamikaze and MTBMB are great, but this one verse is better than these albums

    Definitely his best album in terms of straight rapping and wordplay. I just wish the production was better and more consistent and that he swapped some of the deluxe songs with main track ones. Would have been a great album instead of just good.

    Berzerk was the worst song on the album and they chose it as the lead single. It should have been left off the album.

    but I love MMLP2. And the bonus tracks were fire

    I would have to remove a bunch of songs from MMLP2 and put some of the deluxe ones to enjoy it a bit.

    I think this is where he fell off again after Encore's fall, not Revival. He was a mess already. I guess he just wasn't inspired enough back then.

    So you're saying Revival > MMLP2

    I think you need to

    A) Sober up
    D ) Rethink your life
    C) Smarten the f--- out
    D) Take a break from posting

    Revival is easily his worst album. It was less enjoyable than Encore. It’s not even close.

    Nope, I'm saying that he fell off with MMLP2, not with Revival, that had already happened

    I'm saying that he fell off with Encore and years later with MMLP2 imo (quality wise), then Revival was also bad but it also flopped, and then he recovered with Kamikaze.

    MMLP2 is a hit or miss album. Some weird beats/flows and Em sounds uninspired. Bad Guy is a classic song but the 2nd best song he recorded during that era didn't make the album (Dont Front).

    I find it crazy how most em fans consider MMLP2 as mid when it's usually regarded as his best post hiatus album by the music community

    Stronger than I was, the monster, so far, legacy, survival (definitely) are all s---, side B just book of rhymes alone is better than that whole album

    a------ & Love Game deserve a spot on that list. I like The Monster though, and it worked great.

    Nah, it was a big disappointment, he gets in the studio with one of the biggest new rappers for that? Kanye made a way better song with Kendrick.

    People have no right insulting lyrics on MMLP2 when half of Side B is scattered with god awful punchlines & similes.

    People are really blinded by the modernised sound & will look past flaws when it suits them.

    There is a significant disparity in quality & amount of uninspired & downright awful bars on Side B compared to MMLP2. With how selective you’re being with MMLP2 I could counter it with bad bars from MMLP1 - but it’s not a weighted argument against the whole thing is it? MMLP2 has flaws but the writing isn’t one of them.

    What rapper(s) would you consider close to/on par/better than Eminem lyrically?
