    How do you think Eminem could of made MMLP2 worth the title The Marshall Mathers LP 2 ?

    What Songs would you keep/lose ? Who would you want to produce it ? or keep Rick producing it.
    Who do you want to feature on it and what are some songs that didnt make it (Symphony in H) that could be on the it

    Personally i think if he kept these songs





    What would you change ? completely change it or keep it the same and also i think Groundhog Day should be on the main tracklist.

    Replacing a few with bonus tracks and deleting some of the main tracklist could make it like a 7.5/10 album imo but still not a classic follow up

    Take out So Much Better, Rhyme Or Reason, So Far..., Love Game, Survival, and a------. Add Groundhog Day and Baby to the official track list. Fill the rest with songs that got cut hoping that they are better than what he chose to put on there.

    i'd scrap off headlights, legacy could be nice with a darker and non-pop beat, change the beat in so far, scrap off the monster, stronger than I was , desperation, survival

    Id keep, bad guy, rhyme or reason i guess, somuch better, rap god, berzerk, evil twin, brainless, wicked ways, beautiful, groundhog day, baby
    I like love game but could be nicer with an 'underground' beat,
    about a------, maybe put some melody in the beat and put em singing the hook. in fact, he should sing all the hooks. Im fine the the hook on love game

    Its nice that em's more mature but I guess we'd prefer a Kim-like song instead of stronger than I was

    It's good. I wouldn't mind if it showed up on the bonus disc instead.

    If he had made it in 2001. Than it could have been a good follow up. Or in 2003.
    He should have used Dre/Bass Brothers for production. I would keep Rubin for Bezerk because I like that song.
    1. Public Service Announcement
    2. (k--- You/My Name Is Type song)
    3. Bad Guy
    4. Parking Lot (Skit)
    5. Rhyme Or Reason
    6. Legacy
    7. Don't Front
    8. Bezerk
    9. (Rage filled track akin to Marshall Mathers or Amity Ville)
    10. Rap God
    11. Brainless
    12. Groundhog Day
    13. Beautiful Pain
    14. Baby
    15. Head Lights
    16. Wicked Ways

    Have Dre/Bass Brothers handle production and your golden. Maybe add in a few tracks similar to Drug Ballad/Marshall Mathers/Amity Ville/.
    And for most of those songs his old flow (TES/SSLP/MMLP) would have made them better. Also, I know Fine Line probably wasn't recorded at that time but I like it so I put it on there. Plus it makes sense to be put before Rap God which caused some controversy. Really None of these songs lived up to the amazing opener that was Bad Guy. Gives me a similar feeling to Encore. Great opener but album doesn't live up to the hype. If we had gotten the public service announcement skit, a song on the level of and similar to k--- You and than Bad Guy, It would have been GODLY. Also, Guts Over Fear would have been a great closer. Also he should have dissed people. Diss rappers, diss pop stars. The whole shabang.

    Dr. Dre+Bass Brothers production would've done wonders to the album. That's Em's signature sound. Also get rid of Monster, Survival, So Much Better. Replace them with Groundhog Day, Beautiful Pain, Baby

    I'd completely change it, have himself or Dr.Dre produce it and no chick hooks.

    If there was any chance for Eminem to have created the perfect sequel he should have brought back the Bass Brothers, DJ Head and got Dre heavily involved on the project

    There were also certain songs on Relapse that would have suited the MMLP 2 (Hello, My Darling, Deja Vu)

    I don't think he got the vibe right. I have no problems with mmlp2 it's decent to good, it just lacks structure and has very few things in common with the first. It's hardly related outside the nostalgia factor

    I think if he kept the theme going for the first 2 songs and skit of continuing the last mathers lp (bad guy-Stan, parking lot, ror- criminal) it would have been much better and more cohesive. Also having pop/rock songs with people like Rihanna and Skylar grey make no sense. And also like others have said, dre/bass brothers production would've helped tremendously. So basically:
    1. Bad guy
    2. Parking lot
    3. Rhyme or reason
    4. So much better
    5. Groundhog Day
    6. Legacy
    7. Baby
    8. Rap god
    9. Brainless
    10. Berserk
    11. Don't front
    12. Beautiful pain (could've replaced the monster as the radio single)
    13. Wicked ways
    14. Love game
    15. Headlights
    16. b---- please 3 ft xzibit, dr dre, snoop, and kendrick lamar
    17. Evil twin
