    Also Fine Line was very good but it could have and should have been so much more. He had an all-time classic on his hands with that track. The bridge should have been the hook. No excuses. We should have heard that two or three times at least. The outro s----d. It really reminded me of Shorty Wanna Be A Thug and didn't really fit the song. And electric guitar outro like his old s--- would have just been>>>>>>>>>>> Bad decision. Also the build up of that third verse was so great but I was kind of let down when he started talking about the Outsidaz or whoever. Really wish it was about Proof, himself, h---... even D12. The Outsidaz s--- was really random. Still a very good song. Light years above anything on MMLP2.

    Agree with you on "Really wish it was about Proof, himself, h---... even D12. The Outsidaz s--- was really random. Still a very good song. Light years above anything on MMLP2."
    Don't know why he didn't mention D12 more, and isn't it odd he wasn't in any of their songs, other than old stuff of course? But he was with Slaughterhouse on Psychopath Killer...

    Feels like he's experimenting more and I'm digging it. Vegas was cool and die alone would've been a lot better without that hook

    That whole "I just thought of another line/Boston bit." I know you were smiling like I was when you heard that lol. And to think I almost didn't even listen to that song.

    I was really happy with this release. Guts over fear was so misleading. I've been digging every song eminem is one. The only one I'm meh over is die alone. It's not bad but it's not great either. Shadyxv, Vegas, fine line, right for me and the lose yourself demo are fantastic. That Vegas beat is so sick. I'm shocked eminem produced that. The line about fack>>>>>>>>

    Also I like how he's doing songs with concepts and sticking to the concepts the whole song. Fine line, right for me and die alone are examples. That second verse on right for me is so awesome.

    Yela's album is the next album to come out if I'm not mistaking, so my best guess is that he just got that many songs on there as promotion for that, probably also the reason why his latest single till it's gone ended up on there on the last moment

    I thought the album was really bad on my first listen, very underwhelming. I listened to it a couple more times and the only songs I really like are Fine Line and GOF. And i don't agree that the Outsidaz shoutout is random or out of place. He shouted them out on JDGAF and never mentioned them again. It was cool to hear him go back to them.

    Eminems flow is unlistenable, and it sucks to say that. Probably unpopular, but I'd take the accent over that anyday.

    if Shady Records actually tried hard enough, they could definitely make 2015 their year. A Slaughterhouse album, Yela album, a final D12 album (even if it'll be god awful), and possibly an Em album to finish it off.

    but no.

    Shady Records is finished man. Even Paul knows the labels prime was over a decade ago.

    of course their prime was years ago. but I'm saying they can at least attempt at making a come back. one album a year isn't going to do them wonders

    I've only listened once, but Fine Line is obviously the best song. I agree with everyone saying that there are glimpses of his former wit throughout, but the stop and go flow ruins it for me...there are a few songs I wanted to like so badly but the flow was just awful. I actually quite like the Slaughterhouse track (I find most of their s--- to be unlistenable), but the beat contributes a lot to that I think.

    Wasn't really planning on listening to it again anytime soon (especially because of RTJ2 and Cadillactica taking up my time), but since people are saying it grows on you I'll prolly give it another spin in the next few days.

    EDIT: also he should stop thinking that rapping about, say, raping Iggy Azalea is edgy/funny, the dude is 40-f---ing years old.

    This. It's not clever. It's not even shocking anymore. It's f---ing lame.

    Iggy is barely older than his daughter. Eh.

    I really like this. My favorites are Vegas, Shady XV, and Fine Line. I wish Die Alone's hook could've been better, but I still think it's a good track. If Marshall keeps this style of production and delivery I'll be satisfied.
