If you don't like BigGhost, stay outta this thread. We don't want to derail like usual. Will be reported for going off topic nd trying to stir shit up. For those who want to read the review go ahead. Pretty dope like most of the time.

Ayo whattup… Feel free to take a moment to allow my presence to be felt once again nahmean. You back in the midst of the mighty Hands of Zeus aka Galaxy Knuckles aka Shampoo Bracelets the panty melter aka Broccoli Bundles aka Phantom Ravilois otherwise known as the infamous Thor Molecules…but you might kno me as Spartacus Deluxe or the world famous Caviar Tusks. Welcome back to the Cappuccino Lounge…amongst the exquisite furs n luxurious velvet surfaces n shit. Bask in the radiance of my glorious abode. Now we here to discuss whats gon probably be the biggest album of the year by one of the greatest rappers that ever walked the earth. First off…if Drake jus popped in ya head after readin that last sentence you should smack yaself bruh. Word is bond. If Tyga popped in ya head after readin that sentence you should probably jus do the honorable thing n commit seppuku witta hot butter knife or some broken glass tho. G'head *****.
If the name Eminem dont ring a bell…either you been livin under a rock in exile on a abandoned desert island in another dimension in prehistoric times n shit….or you from North Dakota or some shit. Either way you a individual thats disconnected from reality n you need to wise up yo. I aint gon give you all types of back story on son cuz most yall done already seen the movie…you done heard his music n read the interviews… Sons life done been a open book for so long that muthafuckas can tell you more bout Marshall Bruce Mathers III than they can they own family members n shit. Wikipedia that fool. This the man who gave the world the word "Stan" to describe a ***** that stans. Before "Stan" there wasnt even a word for stannin b…thats how serious it is. Maybe thats cuz before Eminem it wasnt any stans out there like that. Not in the mass armies that they exist in nowadays n shit. Mighta been some groupies n dickridin ass ****** who aint kno how to chill when it came to they favorite artists n athletes n what have you… But when muthafuckas took it to that next level…when it became acceptable for dudes to be gettin swept up in some pandemonium type shit n obsess over another man like he was ya soul mate n shit…not even on jus some regular ol superfan shit…. Before the word "stan" you woulda needed to say "groupie" or "dickrider" AND "stalker" AND "loser" AND "delusional ass muthafucka" to get the point across. You hadda use like 6 adjectives to describe the level of obsessive dickridery that was occurrin n shit. But after the Eminem shit it was like we had the all inclusive terminology for that nahmean. So yanno…credit is due for that namsayin.

Now even tho son named this shit The Marshall Mathers LP 2 he wanted to be very clear that this wasnt no sequel to The Marshall Mathers LP. Which is basically like if they made a movie called Forrest Gump 2 n said YA BUT IT AINT A SEQUEL JUS FYI…SO DONT EXPECT IT TO BE LIKE THE ORIGINAL. Think he was callin this album a "revisitation" or some shit. But we was talmbout Stans…which brings us to the first track of this muthafucka…
1. Bad Guy - This shit is the sequel to "Stan". Now if you heard that Marshall had a sequel to "Stan" on his new album before hearin that shit you might be like getthefuckouttahere… Like how you gon make a sequel to some shit like that? I mean first of all…"Stan" is a classic…might even be like top 3 greatest story rap joints ever along wit some Ice Cube or Slick Rick or Biggie shit that I aint gon get into right now namsayin. Word is bond…thats probably a top 10 rap song of all time…PERIOD. I mean how you gon make a sequel to ya masterpiece b…ya magnum opus n whatever.. What you gon have Stan come back as a ghost who writes letters n shit? Stan the ghost gon be leavin comments on ya facebook page n blowin ya twitter up or some shit? Truth be told I aint een kno that thats what this shit was. I thought he was kickin his album off wit some shit bout Mariah or that it was like some of his usual deranged stalker/serial killer shit he love doin. I actually aint realize what the fuck was happenin til like the third verse to be truthful. Ion wanna give away the plot n shit for anybody who aint heard it or maybe jus aint made the connection yet neither…but its some surprises on this track. Aint a lot of muthafuckas in this world who coulda pulled this shit off yo. Im talkin this degree of artistry nahmean. This shit got levels. Theres a switch up in the beat towards the end where he starts pourin his heart out n shit…but its all good cuz this probably his best song since like…Ionno… Actually yo before I say anything bout that I should mention that I was a big fan of The Slim Shady LP…n The Marshall Mathers LP was a classic…but I wasnt really the biggest Eminem Show fan. I actually fucks wit more shit off what yall done officially declared his "worst" album…which is Encore. Not sayin Encore a better album but I listen to more shit off that muthafucka to this day than anything on The Eminem Show. I wasnt a big fan of Relapse neither…I mean Ion listen to that shit like at all b. It had some aight joints…but mostly it was some fuckery on that shit. Recovery was a step in the right direction but the shit also aint feel like a reeeeaaal Eminem album. Even tho all them shits had some good joints sprinkled here n there on em I aint really fuck wit them like that. So to ME… this shit is the most high caliber n impressive shit he done made since like MMLP. To ME. This shit is jus more elevated n clever…n jus put together better than any the shit he started doin round The Eminem Show nahmean. You can get mad at that but it aint gon change nothin…fuckouttahere.
2. Parking Lot (skit) This shit jus picks up where that little skit in the middle of "Criminal" off MMLP left off…which means it coulda been a decent intro to the album too. I mean shit woulda made sense to ME…but I aint executive produce this shit so who am I to say namsayin. I guess it was a coin toss between this shit n "Bad Guy" in the end. One thing I noticed is it was only one skit on this LP. Recovery aint had ANY skits but that shit was his "serious" album so I guess that makes sense. Im thankful that its no Ken Kaniff gettin dome from two dudes on this shit but I wouldnt had minded a phone call from Paul Rosenberg to really get the nostalgia poppin. But anyways…

3. Rhyme Or Reason - Ok now this is where we hit a speed bump (slow down baby)… The legendary Rick Rubin produced this shit. Ion gotta explain what makes son legendary…yall should google that muthafucka if you really dont kno his resume like that nahmean. This track got a couple issues tho. I mean its all good if ****** wanna think outside the box instead of stickin to the same formulas that worked for em before n shit…but there gotta be lines drawn someplace bruh. You might be lettin the creative juices flow a little too close to the ponds of corniness here b. This sounds like some shit that Chippendale muthafuckas strip for old white broads to. I mean its cool…if you into that kinda shit. Rick sampled some hippy shit from the 60s…n then Em re-sang the whole damn chorus of the original to the same melody n jus changed up the words. I think the shit is bout his dad but he keep goin off topic so Ion really kno. The shit is aight…Em always got some classic rock shit on his albums so I expected it but this shit kinda corny lyrically n musically.
4. So Much Better - Now this more like it. Shit got that familiar Eminem feel to it but still sounds kinda fresh namsayin. Its exactly what a updated MMLP should sound like b. On top of that he back on his female-bashin shit…which aint necessarily my personal favorite topic or nothin but son jus sounds reinvigorated…n if thats what its gon take then so be it my *****. After he took that 5 year hiatus between '04 n '09 it was like it took a minute for son to regain his confidence n get back to his old self a little bit. But this shit jus sounds right. The hook should give his fans that ol familiar feelin n shit too.

5. Survival - I aint gon lie. First time I heard this shit my reaction was basically NAH FUCK THIS SHIT. But it aint a bad track. Im that one muthafucka in the room who dont lose his got damn mind whenever "Lose Yourself " comes on the radio or some shit tho. Like I cant really stand that shit unless its while its playin at the end of 8 Mile nahmean. This track got the same YOU CAN DO IT vibe but its not as dramatic bout all that. Its actually a little over the top wit the smashin drums n guitars shit but it still kinda knocks. But I guess thats why it was made for a video game n shit. If you fucks wit 80s german heavy metal type shit n Vin Diesel movies or you jus want some mood music to rock crazy Affliction gear to…this song might be for you nahmean.

6. Legacy - This shit sound kinda like the Recovery album n MMLP had a baby. I mean that shit…listen to it n tell me that aint exactly what this muthafucka sound like. The song title is basically exactly what the shit is bout. Son is walkin us thru his past…from his childhood to now…again. Ion wanna be the insensitive muthafucka who says shit like DOG YOU GOTTA GET OVER THE FACT YOU GOT BULLIED AT SCHOOL ALREADY. YOU A GROWN MAN NOW…LET THAT SHIT GO so I aint sayin shit bout all that. But it WOULD be nice if we moved the fuck on from that topic for good. He got some nice lines on this one tho…
Me against the world? So what…Im Brian Dawkins
versus the whole 0 and 16 Lions offense
So bring on the Giants Falcons and Miami Dolphins…
The track aint bad but it dont really stand out neither. I aint mad at it tho. It keeps the album flowin…
7. Asshole (feat. Skylar Grey) - To be perfectly honest wit yall…anytime I see the words "Featuring Skylar Grey" or "Produced by Alex da Kid" I usually assume its bout to be some shit I aint gon enjoy. But I aint all the way mad at this shit. I mean the hook probably the worst part bout it tho. This shit is basically a continuation of the last song. He goin at Asher Roth a lil bit on the 2nd verse…which is like dissin one of the muthafuckas in Black Eyed Peas that aint will.i.am or Fergie. As in we kno who the fuck he is but whyyyyy the fuck you talkin bout em at all? I mean son went from bein the poor man's Eminem to the poor man's Mac Miller. Why you aint diss this dude when you dropped Relapse n son was relevant? When son looked like he was bout to blow. You jus gettin offended NOW? Im tellin you tho…its a confidence thing b. Em felt like maybe his time had passed back in '09. He dont feel like that now I guess.

8.Berzerk - So this was it…the big Rick Rubin n Eminem collabo the world was waitin on. Its pretty obvious what son was tryin to achieve here…he wanted that 80s RR/Def Jam sound so he could get his Beastie Boy on… Like he wanted to pay his little homage to the era n whatever whatever. Im jus gon say it like this tho…its a thin line between tribute n parody b. When Jay Z reached out to RR for the same thing he got the 99 Problems beat. The beat had most the same ingredients as Berzerk except 1.) 99 Problems sounded like nothin else Rick ever produced…it was like somebody took the Raising Hell, Radio, n Licensed To Ill albums n threw em in a blender n that was the sound that came outta that yanno…n then 2.) Jay did his thing n turned that shit into a modern classic without doin any Beastie Boys, Run DMC or LL Cool J impersonations at all. The Berzerk beat sounds more like somebody combined a unused Licensed To Ill beat witta 2002 Eminem beat. On top of that you got Eminem oversellin the shit by rappin like Adrock from Beastie Boys for half this shit. The worst part is probably the hook tho where the shit jus hits "Real Slim Shady" levels of wack. He on some other shit wit these verses too cuz half the bars end witta corny ass joke. Im talkin Uncle Joey Gladstone from Full House levels of corny here bruh. Its almost like its 3 songs playin at the same time when you hear this shit too… This some white boy frat party shit tho. Im sayin even Lil Wayne paid better homage on the "I Am Not A Human Being" joint…even tho he jacked the whole thing from the Cool Kids "88″ joint.. Anyways Im sayin its been done before n ALL em shits was done better than Berzerk.
9. Rap God - My opinion on this track wasnt exactly positive the first time I heard it. Ionno…maybe its cuz Ion really fuck wit EDM shit like that… But that was my reaction. Reactions happen within seconds n shit but opinions gotta be formed. It took me a few listens to kno how I really felt bout this shit. I mean I knew on the technical side of things that son was on some next level shit. I mean Nas n Jay Z been dope artists…but they cant do no shit like this. Granted theres shit that Jay n Nas can do that Eminem cant do neither. But when it comes to jus verbal dexterity n goin off on some ridiculous double time shit its only a few muthafuckas that could take it to this extreme…n they mostly underground ****** who cant get radio spins at the same time. I was waitin for this shit to become like the next Look At Me Now…not cuz of the hoe ass Breezy parts but the Bussa Buss shit that ey'body n they moms was makin videos for. The only shit I came across on youtube was Papoose doin his rendition of it. All 17 ****** in NY who still rock XXXXXXL Avirex jackets n leather baseball caps n Somalian pirates all across the world rejoiced when Papoose did his own version of this shit…but if you wanna talk facts…its easier to piggyback another muthafuckas flow n revise that shit than to come up wit that shit on ya own b. Not sayin Pap cant rhyme words together but that ***** all types of garbage when it comes to flows. Straight up n down. I dont mean no offense by that but that ***** straight doo doo on the mic son. Now whether you a Eminem fan or not or whether you fucks wit this song or not…you cant deny that son went in. My original issue wit this shit was it had no replay value. Apparently that shit changed after my 10th listen to this shit tho.
10. Brainless - This shit sounds like that Eminem Show/8 Mile/Encore era Eminem. Son was always fuckin wit these hokey ass beats nahmean…shit sounds like its bein played in a saloon or some shit like that. The shit is aight…but at the same time I think bout past joints like "Brain Damage" n "Rainman" where he already covered the topic of not havin a normal brain…n did the shit a lot better. This particular song aint trash or nothin…he actually spittin some pretty funny shit…but if it wasnt on the album Ion think it woulda affected a damn thing.

11. Stronger Than I Was - Son…. Ionno what the fuck Im listenin to but its like 3 minutes in n this muthafucka Em jus finally took a break from singin his heart out to finally spit some actual rhymes n shit. I swear that son jus got possessed by a former Backstreet Boy member or some shit…like one of em muthafuckas raised theyself from the dead n found whatever studio Eminem was recordin at n jus collided into his muthafuckin soul n was inside son (pause tho) for like 5 minutes n shit…n after 3 minutes Marshall was fightin to come back in but he got pushed out again until the demon was done jugglin dicks on the track n finished makin the sweetest song of this sons entire career INCLUDIN that sweet ass cornball shit he sang bout his daughter on the Eminem Show (yall muthafuckas probably defendin that atrocity in ya heads right now but jus remember…the fact he made that shit bout his seed dont automatically make the shit good…or even listenable. Nas made "I Can" for a whole generation of lost muthafuckin kids n that song still trash. ***** if you really wanna make songs for ya daughter g'head…make her whole albums of you croonin to her… Fuck I care what you do on ya free time? But the whole world dont need to hear you bearin ya soul like you emotionally naked n wounded right now so we GOTTA respect that shit… Nah yo…fuck alla that..unless you talented enough to pull that shit off. But you not cut out for singin ballads my dude so you need to put that whole section of ya repertoire on ice n stick to what you do best bruh bruh). Sprinklin the shit wit f-bombs dont make this song any less flimsy namsayin… You gotta leave all this emotional croonery to that R&B chanteuse Drake my dude. You over doin the shit son… Im listenin to this muthafucka n you in the background moanin n groanin like you in physical pain n shit. Like ya soul in so much pain its unbearable for you to sing a song without feelin swords n arrows poking into ya heart n shit. Dog…dont nobody need to hear that shit ever. You injected this muthafucka wit enough emotional angst to fuel a whole Evanescence album b. The whole room smellin like Proactiv toner cuz of this song now… You wailin this shit wit the torment of a thousand teenagers son. I swear the whole room jus smellin like acne treatments n shit…word is bond. You a 41 year old man now dog…you not pose to be doin this shit. Ya daughters probably hearin this shit n they be like AW MAHHH GAAAAWWT…DAHD WHYYYYYY YOU TRYIN TO BE CODY SIMPSON DAAAAAHD…YOU SOOOOOOO NAWT CODY DAHHHHHD AW MAHHHH GAAAAWWWT… Ionno how many yes men you had in the room while you was recordin this shit but you need to fire all they asses son. I feel like you shoulda got all this shit off ya chest on the Recovery album b. Thats where this shit belongs yo. I cant give this shit no passes.

12. The Monster (Feat. Rihanna) - Wow yo…its like son jus hijacked a whole Flo Rida song…n he aint een tryna hide that shit. This shit jus so bold n courageous bruh. Guess he paid his respects to Beastie Boys n now he wanna do the same for Carol City's Finest. I aint gon front…this shit is catchy as hell. Ion be usin words like "infectious" to describe music but this shit is "infectious" as fuck yo. If it was a Rihanna joint Ion think I would have any issues wit it. This shit is more a matter of principle tho. I mean we talmbout a dude who went at EVERY early 2000s pop act from Backstreet Boys to NSync to 98 Degrees to Britney n Christina.. Son was still shittin on Jessica Simpson in 2009 b…which was like 9 years past her relevance n shit. Im sayin the biggest difference between 2000 Eminem n 2013 Eminem is the 2013 Eminem would probably rather do a song wit NSync than disrespect em. Thats jus facts. I mean I get it… When them sideshow muthafuckas in the group got to perform wit Justin (Timberlake not Bieber. Thats right Beeebs…he got his mononym back. Fuckouttahere) again for like a whole 17 seconds at the last VMA awards show…I guarantee you that was the best 17 seconds any em muthafuckas had experienced since the "Bye Bye Bye" days. I mean these muthafuckas was on standby jus waitin on that call from JT like I AM SO THERE BRO… One em muthafuckas skipped the birth of they own child to share that stage wit Justin for jus one more time. Chris Kirkpatrick had to be tasered n dragged away by security after the show… Like he aint want that shit to end. I mean the shit jus got ugly.
N-Sync-Reunion
So I get if Eminem is fightin that urge to do a song wit Justin too. Son got cosigns out the ass so it aint like Em can jus diss the snow ***** n have it be like a battle of the snow ****** to see who got the most clout within the game right now. I mean its mad snow ****** that got passes right now. Its actually more white rappers than black or latino ones in the game right now b. Thats a statistical fact par. Bein Eminem aint so special no more. So I get why my dude is conformin n shit… but he took it a little too far on this one. This shit sound like a Ke$ha song wit better lyrics. But I aint gon sweat dude for wantin to get back to the top. Muthafuckas like Drizzy Drake been turned the game upside down n made it cool to be on some o.d. pop shit. Even the Bing version of Drake's Google aka J.Cole gave up on tryin to be the next Nas n bit into the forbidden pop ***** fruit. That fruit is succulent…it be temptin dudes nahmean. ****** dont kno how to act once they get a taste of that success on the pop charts n shit. Muthafuckin Pitbull gon sell more records than Styles P at the end of the day namsayin. ****** got families to feed. But that aint you Marshall. This aint bout money…you worth like $150 Mil… You aight son. This is bout regainin that former glory n shit like that. So congrats son. You got radio locked wit this shit. You gon probably win a Grammy for best Pop collaboration n song of the year n shit like that…but remember where you came from homie. Also that yodelin shit wasnt fly my dude.
13. So Far… - Im startin to think Rick Rubin was sent in to either sabotage this project or help son make bad decisions. The beat is cooo…I mean I get that he wanna sample shit that means sumn to him personally n he happened to come up on all this backwoods ******* honky swimmin in swamps type shit . But if he gon sample this ******* shit he aint gotta sing the whole original chorus n bridge n all that shit too. I mean chill son. Lets compromise dunny. Plus the whole first verse is the detailed extended version of his "cant take a shit in the bathroom without someone standin by it" line from "The Way I Am". But at the same time…its good to hear son clownin round n bein hisself n whatever. Its like a step in the right direction for him… cuz 9 times outta 10 Imma take "funny" Em over "serious" Em.

14. Love Game (feat. Kendrick Lamar) - Soon as ****** heard Kendrick was gon be goin head to head wit the white boy on this album…maaaaan…****** imaginations jus ran wild wit that shit yo. Was it gon be some Renegade level shit happenin? Super Lyrical? The What? Lifes A Bitch? Brand New Guy? I mean…what caliber of greatness was this shit gon reach b? The magnitude of this shit couldnt be measured by human devices n instruments yo. You would need advanced equipment n crystals n shit from Superman home planet of Krypton to measure the magnitude of the greatness that was bout to transpire on this muthafucka. The expectations was on another. mutha. fuckin. level. dog. So when the tracklist dropped n ****** could see that the shit they was gon collab on was called "Love Game"…yanno…like the Lady Gaga song…the expectations dropped down a little nahmean. But yo…Em had that joint on Recovery wit Lil Wayne "No Love" …n that shit sampled the Haddaway shit from Night At The Roxbury…n THAT shit came out kinda aight. So worst case scenario is the shit would be on that level of pretty goodness…maybe not GREAT…but still good namsayin. But this shit kicks off soundin like some shit that Baby walked into the room to when she helped son carry the watermelons to the party in Dirty Dancing (dont front yo you seen that shit on tv too *****)… Ionno who had the idea to rap over this shit or make a beat outta this but it took hokey to the next next level b. Homeboy told me it sounded like shit that would come on on the jukebox in a diner n shit. The Fonz is somewhere in parallel universe witta popped collar n a chick in each arm noddin his head in approval to this shit as we speak yo. How many yes men he had in the room to give this shit the thumbs up when he made it b? I aint gon say the song is trash but he hadda kno ****** was gon be hoping for sumn completely different…like the opposite of this shit. This shit is not what ****** was expectin like AT ALL yo. But is it Em n Kendrick who at fault for steppin way outside the box or our faults for havin different n much bigger expectations? I mean Kendrick had jus come off a hot streak wit the "Control" verse n the Pusha-T collab "Nosetalgia" n set the BET cyphers on fire..so for this to be his way of followin that shit up…Im jus disappointed son. They actually spittin on this shit but the music was jus a major letdown for me personally. I aint mad at it like I was before but I definitely aint goin out my way to skip to track 14 when I listen to this muthafucka next. Shit sounds like a Sugar Ray song. You better than this Marshall….n dont you een say nothin to me Kendrick.
2012 Do Something Awards - Show
15. Headlights (feat. Nate Ruess) - Man…when I seen the name "Nate Ruess" on the tracklist I almost lost all hope in this album son. Dog is in a band called Fun b… I use to tell muthafuckas LOOK…IT AINT CUZ IM HOMOPHOBIC OR NOTHIN BUT I JUS DONT LIKE THESE MUTHAFUCKAS. But it turns out none of em dudes is gay anyways…Im like WORD? But thats neither here nor there namsayin. I recognize that son got talent. I jus dont like the shit he makes wit his talent. Its jussa preference n shit. Anyways you cant een tell me this shit wasnt inspired by the "Mother" joint by John Lennon. Thats right…im up on all that shit. From the four on the floor type drumbeat to the piano n the subject matter n all that… but this definitely a high point on the album.
![Image]()
I thought this was gon be some trash to be perfectly honest wit yalls. Like I thought this was gon suck all types of dick but its actually a damn good song b. Maybe Im jus gettin caught up in the emotional side of this shit…I aint heartless dog. I aint gon front tho…when grown ass dudes express they regrets n emotions over shit to do wit family I feel where they comin from. This a dude that talked bout rapin n killin his old earth n now he here apologizin for hurtin the woman. This shit had tears rollin down the inside of my face b. I aint gon lie. I was sheddin tears down the inside of my cheeks while I listened to it n I aint ashamed of that fact yo. That shit hit me bruh. I aint one to weep or cry like that but sometimes you jus gotta allow that shit to happen b. I listened to this shit 5 times jus now n I felt the same emotions come over my muthafuckin physical each damn time son. Shit had me fucked up yo. I mean I aint een had the traditional vaginal birth like yalls. Imean summa yalls was c-section babies.. but regardless I aint experience none of that. I never gestated in the womb n shit like that. I was spawned from the depths of a volcano in Honolulu bout a half hour away from Waikiki Beach namsayin. I was brought to a nearby river n placed in a golden basket that made its way across the ocean n I washed ashore in the Mediterranean Sea n ended up floatin down the Blue Nile. To make a long story short…that basket was found by Sudanese farmers n I ended up bein trained in the ways of the warrior in a village outside of Khartoum. I learned all my survival techniques under the tutelage of a Samurai ronin that was livin in exile there at the time nahmean. Son took me under his wing n taught me the codes of obedience n bushido n all that shit. I learned to catch flies wit chopsticks n all that shit. His name was Miko Nishimaki…but I called him Sensei n shit. He had took a wife in the village of the Zande people nahmean. His wife also happened to be a expert in combat…n she had taught me the ways of the Niam-Niam warriors n shit. Her name was Grace. She was the closest thing I had to a moms. Before I left Khartoum we had had a disagreement that led to some bloodshed within the village that I cant really get into but lets jus say it was some fucked up shit that happened. Some limbs was severed….couple ****** lost they lives…. Basically I overreacted over shit that turned out to be a misunderstandin n I been livin wit those regrets ever since b. But gettin back to the song…I fucks wit it heavy.
16. Evil Twin - This shit haaaaaard bruh. I wish Sid Roams did the whole album cuz this beat jus nasty yo. You got shit like this in the stash but you rappin over them honky tonk clown shits wit the saloon pianos n them corny Rick Rubin beats? I mean aint Alchemist ya tour DJ? As in ALC the hardest workin producer in the game? Why you still fuckin wit em over the top DJ Khalil shits? And the fuck happened to Dre? How you forgot bout Dre when you made a song wit Dre bout not forgettin bout Dre? Do Dre even still produce bruh? We need answers Marshall… Anyways this is son tryin to figure out if its any difference between Eminem n Slim Shady… Ion wanna give away the answer but the answer is yeah. Theres definitely more than one side to son n too much of either one would be straight wack. This was a dope way to close out the album tho n I hope he keep goin this direction n shit. As in rap over beats like this.

So thats that. Imma say it like this n hopefully yall slow n opinionated ass muthafuckas who got like zero credibility to pass any kinda judgement based on ya 3 years of experience listenin to music that isnt from the Kidz Bop series or some shit that Barney the purple dinosaur taught you can keep up… This shit aint necessarily what I was expectin. Straight up. Like at all… I thought shit would end up soundin like Recovery 2. I was actually relieved that it didnt nahmean. My instincts was wrong n shit. At the same time…as the shit started takin all those corny turns musically I hadda tell myself it might not be for ME…but these white folk gon love all that shit. Its a matter of preference n cultural identity n shit in a way namsayin. As far as the rhymes…its no question that son jus makin the shit look easy. But the boy can rap. Like when you compare how he rap to how ****** like Jay n Kanye is rappin these days…(or Lil Wayne smh) its really no contest. When you take into account all the major ****** in that 40+ category…its only maybe Nas thats fuckin wit him. Jus as far as bein a rapper. Obviously muthafuckas like Black Thought, Sean Price, Busta Rhymes n Pharoahe Monch is wild nice too…but on this mainstream level it aint too many ****** in the 40+ age group that can fuck wit Marshall b. But thats ability n talent vs actual music. I aint a big fan of the way Hov rappin these days but Magna Carta was a modern day rap album. Shit sounded current. Sometimes Em jus be datin hisself wit the references to old shit n the classic rock samples. But he also keepin it 100 wit hisself. So you gettin those pieces of his DNA.. n thats why even ****** who dont fuck wit Em can tell you the name of his manager n his uncle who died n where he grew up n what he insecure bout n his views on females n shit like that. Cuz he puttin hisself out there whenever he makes music. Summa it is trash n summa it you might consider amongst the greatest hip hop that ever existed. One thing I noticed was that son is finally startin to come to terms wit the fact that he a grown man wit kids n responsibilities n shit. He apologized to his moms for the hurt he caused her…he conflicted bout his treatment of females considerin he tryna raise two girls of his own…n even tho this his most lyrically advanced album since MMLP…he playin it kinda safe n keepin the shock tactics to a minimum. This probably his most tame album as far as who it might offend since like Infinite n shit. He choosin his words more carefully now. He evolved as a muthafuckin man. I aint sayin its a good or a bad thing… But if anything he recognizin the fact that if muthafuckas is sayin his legacy is safe n he dont got nothin else to prove that thats a dangerous place to be as a rapper. You dont wanna be that old ***** that muthafuckas is worshippin for past achievments but can't hold his own RIGHT NOW n shit. Like you might not be goin out ya way to cop new Kool G Rap music for example but you dont wanna fuck wit that ***** on the mic neither… like to this day. And thats a dude who been in the game since '86 n shit. His legacy is bulletproof but he also a animal on the mic to this day b. Em can either follow Hov down that path of too successful to give a fuckness that he on or he can humble hisself n stay in the race. See I recognize that "Rap God" aint son restin on his laurels…He aint sayin LOOKIT ME CHILLIN WIT MY FEET UP ON THESE CLOUDS N SHIT its his declaration that he can still eat any muthafuckas food he want when it comes to this rap shit. He not sayin LOOK AT WHAT I DONE ACHIEVED ALREADY…he sayin LOOK AT WHAT THE FUCK I CAN STILL DO…n you gotta admire that. Its hard to have that mentality when you comfortable n own a radio station n got the net worth of at least 275,000 regular rappers. Anyways…I think once the dust settles n the hype dies down…n muthafuckas stop feelin appalled by his choice of beats on this shit…this gon be seen for what it is…a solid album witta couple mediocre moments…some bullshit songs.. n one unforgivably wack track. While his fellow Detroit resident Big Sean continues to raise the bar on lowerin the bar in rap…Eminem wants to show you why ****** in Detroit got that reputation for spittin. ***** damn near EVERYBODY in Detroit can rap…so it makes sense that Eminem was bred for this shit. To be the white dude who rose above all the other rappers in a city like that you gotta be doin sumn crazy as a MC son…n he jus proved he still THAT (snow) *****.
Aight peace.
I gives this shit 4 Zeus slaps outta 5
![Image]()
Ayo whattup… Feel free to take a moment to allow my presence to be felt once again nahmean. You back in the midst of the mighty Hands of Zeus aka Galaxy Knuckles aka Shampoo Bracelets the panty melter aka Broccoli Bundles aka Phantom Ravilois otherwise known as the infamous Thor Molecules…but you might kno me as Spartacus Deluxe or the world famous Caviar Tusks. Welcome back to the Cappuccino Lounge…amongst the exquisite furs n luxurious velvet surfaces n shit. Bask in the radiance of my glorious abode. Now we here to discuss whats gon probably be the biggest album of the year by one of the greatest rappers that ever walked the earth. First off…if Drake jus popped in ya head after readin that last sentence you should smack yaself bruh. Word is bond. If Tyga popped in ya head after readin that sentence you should probably jus do the honorable thing n commit seppuku witta hot butter knife or some broken glass tho. G'head *****.
If the name Eminem dont ring a bell…either you been livin under a rock in exile on a abandoned desert island in another dimension in prehistoric times n shit….or you from North Dakota or some shit. Either way you a individual thats disconnected from reality n you need to wise up yo. I aint gon give you all types of back story on son cuz most yall done already seen the movie…you done heard his music n read the interviews… Sons life done been a open book for so long that muthafuckas can tell you more bout Marshall Bruce Mathers III than they can they own family members n shit. Wikipedia that fool. This the man who gave the world the word "Stan" to describe a ***** that stans. Before "Stan" there wasnt even a word for stannin b…thats how serious it is. Maybe thats cuz before Eminem it wasnt any stans out there like that. Not in the mass armies that they exist in nowadays n shit. Mighta been some groupies n dickridin ass ****** who aint kno how to chill when it came to they favorite artists n athletes n what have you… But when muthafuckas took it to that next level…when it became acceptable for dudes to be gettin swept up in some pandemonium type shit n obsess over another man like he was ya soul mate n shit…not even on jus some regular ol superfan shit…. Before the word "stan" you woulda needed to say "groupie" or "dickrider" AND "stalker" AND "loser" AND "delusional ass muthafucka" to get the point across. You hadda use like 6 adjectives to describe the level of obsessive dickridery that was occurrin n shit. But after the Eminem shit it was like we had the all inclusive terminology for that nahmean. So yanno…credit is due for that namsayin.
mmlp
Now even tho son named this shit The Marshall Mathers LP 2 he wanted to be very clear that this wasnt no sequel to The Marshall Mathers LP. Which is basically like if they made a movie called Forrest Gump 2 n said YA BUT IT AINT A SEQUEL JUS FYI…SO DONT EXPECT IT TO BE LIKE THE ORIGINAL. Think he was callin this album a "revisitation" or some shit. But we was talmbout Stans…which brings us to the first track of this muthafucka…
1. Bad Guy - This shit is the sequel to "Stan". Now if you heard that Marshall had a sequel to "Stan" on his new album before hearin that shit you might be like getthefuckouttahere… Like how you gon make a sequel to some shit like that? I mean first of all…"Stan" is a classic…might even be like top 3 greatest story rap joints ever along wit some Ice Cube or Slick Rick or Biggie shit that I aint gon get into right now namsayin. Word is bond…thats probably a top 10 rap song of all time…PERIOD. I mean how you gon make a sequel to ya masterpiece b…ya magnum opus n whatever.. What you gon have Stan come back as a ghost who writes letters n shit? Stan the ghost gon be leavin comments on ya facebook page n blowin ya twitter up or some shit? Truth be told I aint een kno that thats what this shit was. I thought he was kickin his album off wit some shit bout Mariah or that it was like some of his usual deranged stalker/serial killer shit he love doin. I actually aint realize what the fuck was happenin til like the third verse to be truthful. Ion wanna give away the plot n shit for anybody who aint heard it or maybe jus aint made the connection yet neither…but its some surprises on this track. Aint a lot of muthafuckas in this world who coulda pulled this shit off yo. Im talkin this degree of artistry nahmean. This shit got levels. Theres a switch up in the beat towards the end where he starts pourin his heart out n shit…but its all good cuz this probably his best song since like…Ionno… Actually yo before I say anything bout that I should mention that I was a big fan of The Slim Shady LP…n The Marshall Mathers LP was a classic…but I wasnt really the biggest Eminem Show fan. I actually fucks wit more shit off what yall done officially declared his "worst" album…which is Encore. Not sayin Encore a better album but I listen to more shit off that muthafucka to this day than anything on The Eminem Show. I wasnt a big fan of Relapse neither…I mean Ion listen to that shit like at all b. It had some aight joints…but mostly it was some fuckery on that shit. Recovery was a step in the right direction but the shit also aint feel like a reeeeaaal Eminem album. Even tho all them shits had some good joints sprinkled here n there on em I aint really fuck wit them like that. So to ME… this shit is the most high caliber n impressive shit he done made since like MMLP. To ME. This shit is jus more elevated n clever…n jus put together better than any the shit he started doin round The Eminem Show nahmean. You can get mad at that but it aint gon change nothin…fuckouttahere.
2. Parking Lot (skit) This shit jus picks up where that little skit in the middle of "Criminal" off MMLP left off…which means it coulda been a decent intro to the album too. I mean shit woulda made sense to ME…but I aint executive produce this shit so who am I to say namsayin. I guess it was a coin toss between this shit n "Bad Guy" in the end. One thing I noticed is it was only one skit on this LP. Recovery aint had ANY skits but that shit was his "serious" album so I guess that makes sense. Im thankful that its no Ken Kaniff gettin dome from two dudes on this shit but I wouldnt had minded a phone call from Paul Rosenberg to really get the nostalgia poppin. But anyways…
em rr
3. Rhyme Or Reason - Ok now this is where we hit a speed bump (slow down baby)… The legendary Rick Rubin produced this shit. Ion gotta explain what makes son legendary…yall should google that muthafucka if you really dont kno his resume like that nahmean. This track got a couple issues tho. I mean its all good if ****** wanna think outside the box instead of stickin to the same formulas that worked for em before n shit…but there gotta be lines drawn someplace bruh. You might be lettin the creative juices flow a little too close to the ponds of corniness here b. This sounds like some shit that Chippendale muthafuckas strip for old white broads to. I mean its cool…if you into that kinda shit. Rick sampled some hippy shit from the 60s…n then Em re-sang the whole damn chorus of the original to the same melody n jus changed up the words. I think the shit is bout his dad but he keep goin off topic so Ion really kno. The shit is aight…Em always got some classic rock shit on his albums so I expected it but this shit kinda corny lyrically n musically.
4. So Much Better - Now this more like it. Shit got that familiar Eminem feel to it but still sounds kinda fresh namsayin. Its exactly what a updated MMLP should sound like b. On top of that he back on his female-bashin shit…which aint necessarily my personal favorite topic or nothin but son jus sounds reinvigorated…n if thats what its gon take then so be it my *****. After he took that 5 year hiatus between '04 n '09 it was like it took a minute for son to regain his confidence n get back to his old self a little bit. But this shit jus sounds right. The hook should give his fans that ol familiar feelin n shit too.
survival
5. Survival - I aint gon lie. First time I heard this shit my reaction was basically NAH FUCK THIS SHIT. But it aint a bad track. Im that one muthafucka in the room who dont lose his got damn mind whenever "Lose Yourself " comes on the radio or some shit tho. Like I cant really stand that shit unless its while its playin at the end of 8 Mile nahmean. This track got the same YOU CAN DO IT vibe but its not as dramatic bout all that. Its actually a little over the top wit the smashin drums n guitars shit but it still kinda knocks. But I guess thats why it was made for a video game n shit. If you fucks wit 80s german heavy metal type shit n Vin Diesel movies or you jus want some mood music to rock crazy Affliction gear to…this song might be for you nahmean.
young em
6. Legacy - This shit sound kinda like the Recovery album n MMLP had a baby. I mean that shit…listen to it n tell me that aint exactly what this muthafucka sound like. The song title is basically exactly what the shit is bout. Son is walkin us thru his past…from his childhood to now…again. Ion wanna be the insensitive muthafucka who says shit like DOG YOU GOTTA GET OVER THE FACT YOU GOT BULLIED AT SCHOOL ALREADY. YOU A GROWN MAN NOW…LET THAT SHIT GO so I aint sayin shit bout all that. But it WOULD be nice if we moved the fuck on from that topic for good. He got some nice lines on this one tho…
Me against the world? So what…Im Brian Dawkins
versus the whole 0 and 16 Lions offense
So bring on the Giants Falcons and Miami Dolphins…
The track aint bad but it dont really stand out neither. I aint mad at it tho. It keeps the album flowin…
7. Asshole (feat. Skylar Grey) - To be perfectly honest wit yall…anytime I see the words "Featuring Skylar Grey" or "Produced by Alex da Kid" I usually assume its bout to be some shit I aint gon enjoy. But I aint all the way mad at this shit. I mean the hook probably the worst part bout it tho. This shit is basically a continuation of the last song. He goin at Asher Roth a lil bit on the 2nd verse…which is like dissin one of the muthafuckas in Black Eyed Peas that aint will.i.am or Fergie. As in we kno who the fuck he is but whyyyyy the fuck you talkin bout em at all? I mean son went from bein the poor man's Eminem to the poor man's Mac Miller. Why you aint diss this dude when you dropped Relapse n son was relevant? When son looked like he was bout to blow. You jus gettin offended NOW? Im tellin you tho…its a confidence thing b. Em felt like maybe his time had passed back in '09. He dont feel like that now I guess.
em rock
8.Berzerk - So this was it…the big Rick Rubin n Eminem collabo the world was waitin on. Its pretty obvious what son was tryin to achieve here…he wanted that 80s RR/Def Jam sound so he could get his Beastie Boy on… Like he wanted to pay his little homage to the era n whatever whatever. Im jus gon say it like this tho…its a thin line between tribute n parody b. When Jay Z reached out to RR for the same thing he got the 99 Problems beat. The beat had most the same ingredients as Berzerk except 1.) 99 Problems sounded like nothin else Rick ever produced…it was like somebody took the Raising Hell, Radio, n Licensed To Ill albums n threw em in a blender n that was the sound that came outta that yanno…n then 2.) Jay did his thing n turned that shit into a modern classic without doin any Beastie Boys, Run DMC or LL Cool J impersonations at all. The Berzerk beat sounds more like somebody combined a unused Licensed To Ill beat witta 2002 Eminem beat. On top of that you got Eminem oversellin the shit by rappin like Adrock from Beastie Boys for half this shit. The worst part is probably the hook tho where the shit jus hits "Real Slim Shady" levels of wack. He on some other shit wit these verses too cuz half the bars end witta corny ass joke. Im talkin Uncle Joey Gladstone from Full House levels of corny here bruh. Its almost like its 3 songs playin at the same time when you hear this shit too… This some white boy frat party shit tho. Im sayin even Lil Wayne paid better homage on the "I Am Not A Human Being" joint…even tho he jacked the whole thing from the Cool Kids "88″ joint.. Anyways Im sayin its been done before n ALL em shits was done better than Berzerk.
9. Rap God - My opinion on this track wasnt exactly positive the first time I heard it. Ionno…maybe its cuz Ion really fuck wit EDM shit like that… But that was my reaction. Reactions happen within seconds n shit but opinions gotta be formed. It took me a few listens to kno how I really felt bout this shit. I mean I knew on the technical side of things that son was on some next level shit. I mean Nas n Jay Z been dope artists…but they cant do no shit like this. Granted theres shit that Jay n Nas can do that Eminem cant do neither. But when it comes to jus verbal dexterity n goin off on some ridiculous double time shit its only a few muthafuckas that could take it to this extreme…n they mostly underground ****** who cant get radio spins at the same time. I was waitin for this shit to become like the next Look At Me Now…not cuz of the hoe ass Breezy parts but the Bussa Buss shit that ey'body n they moms was makin videos for. The only shit I came across on youtube was Papoose doin his rendition of it. All 17 ****** in NY who still rock XXXXXXL Avirex jackets n leather baseball caps n Somalian pirates all across the world rejoiced when Papoose did his own version of this shit…but if you wanna talk facts…its easier to piggyback another muthafuckas flow n revise that shit than to come up wit that shit on ya own b. Not sayin Pap cant rhyme words together but that ***** all types of garbage when it comes to flows. Straight up n down. I dont mean no offense by that but that ***** straight doo doo on the mic son. Now whether you a Eminem fan or not or whether you fucks wit this song or not…you cant deny that son went in. My original issue wit this shit was it had no replay value. Apparently that shit changed after my 10th listen to this shit tho.
10. Brainless - This shit sounds like that Eminem Show/8 Mile/Encore era Eminem. Son was always fuckin wit these hokey ass beats nahmean…shit sounds like its bein played in a saloon or some shit like that. The shit is aight…but at the same time I think bout past joints like "Brain Damage" n "Rainman" where he already covered the topic of not havin a normal brain…n did the shit a lot better. This particular song aint trash or nothin…he actually spittin some pretty funny shit…but if it wasnt on the album Ion think it woulda affected a damn thing.
bsb
11. Stronger Than I Was - Son…. Ionno what the fuck Im listenin to but its like 3 minutes in n this muthafucka Em jus finally took a break from singin his heart out to finally spit some actual rhymes n shit. I swear that son jus got possessed by a former Backstreet Boy member or some shit…like one of em muthafuckas raised theyself from the dead n found whatever studio Eminem was recordin at n jus collided into his muthafuckin soul n was inside son (pause tho) for like 5 minutes n shit…n after 3 minutes Marshall was fightin to come back in but he got pushed out again until the demon was done jugglin dicks on the track n finished makin the sweetest song of this sons entire career INCLUDIN that sweet ass cornball shit he sang bout his daughter on the Eminem Show (yall muthafuckas probably defendin that atrocity in ya heads right now but jus remember…the fact he made that shit bout his seed dont automatically make the shit good…or even listenable. Nas made "I Can" for a whole generation of lost muthafuckin kids n that song still trash. ***** if you really wanna make songs for ya daughter g'head…make her whole albums of you croonin to her… Fuck I care what you do on ya free time? But the whole world dont need to hear you bearin ya soul like you emotionally naked n wounded right now so we GOTTA respect that shit… Nah yo…fuck alla that..unless you talented enough to pull that shit off. But you not cut out for singin ballads my dude so you need to put that whole section of ya repertoire on ice n stick to what you do best bruh bruh). Sprinklin the shit wit f-bombs dont make this song any less flimsy namsayin… You gotta leave all this emotional croonery to that R&B chanteuse Drake my dude. You over doin the shit son… Im listenin to this muthafucka n you in the background moanin n groanin like you in physical pain n shit. Like ya soul in so much pain its unbearable for you to sing a song without feelin swords n arrows poking into ya heart n shit. Dog…dont nobody need to hear that shit ever. You injected this muthafucka wit enough emotional angst to fuel a whole Evanescence album b. The whole room smellin like Proactiv toner cuz of this song now… You wailin this shit wit the torment of a thousand teenagers son. I swear the whole room jus smellin like acne treatments n shit…word is bond. You a 41 year old man now dog…you not pose to be doin this shit. Ya daughters probably hearin this shit n they be like AW MAHHH GAAAAWWT…DAHD WHYYYYYY YOU TRYIN TO BE CODY SIMPSON DAAAAAHD…YOU SOOOOOOO NAWT CODY DAHHHHHD AW MAHHHH GAAAAWWWT… Ionno how many yes men you had in the room while you was recordin this shit but you need to fire all they asses son. I feel like you shoulda got all this shit off ya chest on the Recovery album b. Thats where this shit belongs yo. I cant give this shit no passes.
monster
12. The Monster (Feat. Rihanna) - Wow yo…its like son jus hijacked a whole Flo Rida song…n he aint een tryna hide that shit. This shit jus so bold n courageous bruh. Guess he paid his respects to Beastie Boys n now he wanna do the same for Carol City's Finest. I aint gon front…this shit is catchy as hell. Ion be usin words like "infectious" to describe music but this shit is "infectious" as fuck yo. If it was a Rihanna joint Ion think I would have any issues wit it. This shit is more a matter of principle tho. I mean we talmbout a dude who went at EVERY early 2000s pop act from Backstreet Boys to NSync to 98 Degrees to Britney n Christina.. Son was still shittin on Jessica Simpson in 2009 b…which was like 9 years past her relevance n shit. Im sayin the biggest difference between 2000 Eminem n 2013 Eminem is the 2013 Eminem would probably rather do a song wit NSync than disrespect em. Thats jus facts. I mean I get it… When them sideshow muthafuckas in the group got to perform wit Justin (Timberlake not Bieber. Thats right Beeebs…he got his mononym back. Fuckouttahere) again for like a whole 17 seconds at the last VMA awards show…I guarantee you that was the best 17 seconds any em muthafuckas had experienced since the "Bye Bye Bye" days. I mean these muthafuckas was on standby jus waitin on that call from JT like I AM SO THERE BRO… One em muthafuckas skipped the birth of they own child to share that stage wit Justin for jus one more time. Chris Kirkpatrick had to be tasered n dragged away by security after the show… Like he aint want that shit to end. I mean the shit jus got ugly.
N-Sync-Reunion
So I get if Eminem is fightin that urge to do a song wit Justin too. Son got cosigns out the ass so it aint like Em can jus diss the snow ***** n have it be like a battle of the snow ****** to see who got the most clout within the game right now. I mean its mad snow ****** that got passes right now. Its actually more white rappers than black or latino ones in the game right now b. Thats a statistical fact par. Bein Eminem aint so special no more. So I get why my dude is conformin n shit… but he took it a little too far on this one. This shit sound like a Ke$ha song wit better lyrics. But I aint gon sweat dude for wantin to get back to the top. Muthafuckas like Drizzy Drake been turned the game upside down n made it cool to be on some o.d. pop shit. Even the Bing version of Drake's Google aka J.Cole gave up on tryin to be the next Nas n bit into the forbidden pop ***** fruit. That fruit is succulent…it be temptin dudes nahmean. ****** dont kno how to act once they get a taste of that success on the pop charts n shit. Muthafuckin Pitbull gon sell more records than Styles P at the end of the day namsayin. ****** got families to feed. But that aint you Marshall. This aint bout money…you worth like $150 Mil… You aight son. This is bout regainin that former glory n shit like that. So congrats son. You got radio locked wit this shit. You gon probably win a Grammy for best Pop collaboration n song of the year n shit like that…but remember where you came from homie. Also that yodelin shit wasnt fly my dude.
13. So Far… - Im startin to think Rick Rubin was sent in to either sabotage this project or help son make bad decisions. The beat is cooo…I mean I get that he wanna sample shit that means sumn to him personally n he happened to come up on all this backwoods ******* honky swimmin in swamps type shit . But if he gon sample this ******* shit he aint gotta sing the whole original chorus n bridge n all that shit too. I mean chill son. Lets compromise dunny. Plus the whole first verse is the detailed extended version of his "cant take a shit in the bathroom without someone standin by it" line from "The Way I Am". But at the same time…its good to hear son clownin round n bein hisself n whatever. Its like a step in the right direction for him… cuz 9 times outta 10 Imma take "funny" Em over "serious" Em.
emdrick
14. Love Game (feat. Kendrick Lamar) - Soon as ****** heard Kendrick was gon be goin head to head wit the white boy on this album…maaaaan…****** imaginations jus ran wild wit that shit yo. Was it gon be some Renegade level shit happenin? Super Lyrical? The What? Lifes A Bitch? Brand New Guy? I mean…what caliber of greatness was this shit gon reach b? The magnitude of this shit couldnt be measured by human devices n instruments yo. You would need advanced equipment n crystals n shit from Superman home planet of Krypton to measure the magnitude of the greatness that was bout to transpire on this muthafucka. The expectations was on another. mutha. fuckin. level. dog. So when the tracklist dropped n ****** could see that the shit they was gon collab on was called "Love Game"…yanno…like the Lady Gaga song…the expectations dropped down a little nahmean. But yo…Em had that joint on Recovery wit Lil Wayne "No Love" …n that shit sampled the Haddaway shit from Night At The Roxbury…n THAT shit came out kinda aight. So worst case scenario is the shit would be on that level of pretty goodness…maybe not GREAT…but still good namsayin. But this shit kicks off soundin like some shit that Baby walked into the room to when she helped son carry the watermelons to the party in Dirty Dancing (dont front yo you seen that shit on tv too *****)… Ionno who had the idea to rap over this shit or make a beat outta this but it took hokey to the next next level b. Homeboy told me it sounded like shit that would come on on the jukebox in a diner n shit. The Fonz is somewhere in parallel universe witta popped collar n a chick in each arm noddin his head in approval to this shit as we speak yo. How many yes men he had in the room to give this shit the thumbs up when he made it b? I aint gon say the song is trash but he hadda kno ****** was gon be hoping for sumn completely different…like the opposite of this shit. This shit is not what ****** was expectin like AT ALL yo. But is it Em n Kendrick who at fault for steppin way outside the box or our faults for havin different n much bigger expectations? I mean Kendrick had jus come off a hot streak wit the "Control" verse n the Pusha-T collab "Nosetalgia" n set the BET cyphers on fire..so for this to be his way of followin that shit up…Im jus disappointed son. They actually spittin on this shit but the music was jus a major letdown for me personally. I aint mad at it like I was before but I definitely aint goin out my way to skip to track 14 when I listen to this muthafucka next. Shit sounds like a Sugar Ray song. You better than this Marshall….n dont you een say nothin to me Kendrick.
2012 Do Something Awards - Show
15. Headlights (feat. Nate Ruess) - Man…when I seen the name "Nate Ruess" on the tracklist I almost lost all hope in this album son. Dog is in a band called Fun b… I use to tell muthafuckas LOOK…IT AINT CUZ IM HOMOPHOBIC OR NOTHIN BUT I JUS DONT LIKE THESE MUTHAFUCKAS. But it turns out none of em dudes is gay anyways…Im like WORD? But thats neither here nor there namsayin. I recognize that son got talent. I jus dont like the shit he makes wit his talent. Its jussa preference n shit. Anyways you cant een tell me this shit wasnt inspired by the "Mother" joint by John Lennon. Thats right…im up on all that shit. From the four on the floor type drumbeat to the piano n the subject matter n all that… but this definitely a high point on the album.
I thought this was gon be some trash to be perfectly honest wit yalls. Like I thought this was gon suck all types of dick but its actually a damn good song b. Maybe Im jus gettin caught up in the emotional side of this shit…I aint heartless dog. I aint gon front tho…when grown ass dudes express they regrets n emotions over shit to do wit family I feel where they comin from. This a dude that talked bout rapin n killin his old earth n now he here apologizin for hurtin the woman. This shit had tears rollin down the inside of my face b. I aint gon lie. I was sheddin tears down the inside of my cheeks while I listened to it n I aint ashamed of that fact yo. That shit hit me bruh. I aint one to weep or cry like that but sometimes you jus gotta allow that shit to happen b. I listened to this shit 5 times jus now n I felt the same emotions come over my muthafuckin physical each damn time son. Shit had me fucked up yo. I mean I aint een had the traditional vaginal birth like yalls. Imean summa yalls was c-section babies.. but regardless I aint experience none of that. I never gestated in the womb n shit like that. I was spawned from the depths of a volcano in Honolulu bout a half hour away from Waikiki Beach namsayin. I was brought to a nearby river n placed in a golden basket that made its way across the ocean n I washed ashore in the Mediterranean Sea n ended up floatin down the Blue Nile. To make a long story short…that basket was found by Sudanese farmers n I ended up bein trained in the ways of the warrior in a village outside of Khartoum. I learned all my survival techniques under the tutelage of a Samurai ronin that was livin in exile there at the time nahmean. Son took me under his wing n taught me the codes of obedience n bushido n all that shit. I learned to catch flies wit chopsticks n all that shit. His name was Miko Nishimaki…but I called him Sensei n shit. He had took a wife in the village of the Zande people nahmean. His wife also happened to be a expert in combat…n she had taught me the ways of the Niam-Niam warriors n shit. Her name was Grace. She was the closest thing I had to a moms. Before I left Khartoum we had had a disagreement that led to some bloodshed within the village that I cant really get into but lets jus say it was some fucked up shit that happened. Some limbs was severed….couple ****** lost they lives…. Basically I overreacted over shit that turned out to be a misunderstandin n I been livin wit those regrets ever since b. But gettin back to the song…I fucks wit it heavy.
16. Evil Twin - This shit haaaaaard bruh. I wish Sid Roams did the whole album cuz this beat jus nasty yo. You got shit like this in the stash but you rappin over them honky tonk clown shits wit the saloon pianos n them corny Rick Rubin beats? I mean aint Alchemist ya tour DJ? As in ALC the hardest workin producer in the game? Why you still fuckin wit em over the top DJ Khalil shits? And the fuck happened to Dre? How you forgot bout Dre when you made a song wit Dre bout not forgettin bout Dre? Do Dre even still produce bruh? We need answers Marshall… Anyways this is son tryin to figure out if its any difference between Eminem n Slim Shady… Ion wanna give away the answer but the answer is yeah. Theres definitely more than one side to son n too much of either one would be straight wack. This was a dope way to close out the album tho n I hope he keep goin this direction n shit. As in rap over beats like this.
em
So thats that. Imma say it like this n hopefully yall slow n opinionated ass muthafuckas who got like zero credibility to pass any kinda judgement based on ya 3 years of experience listenin to music that isnt from the Kidz Bop series or some shit that Barney the purple dinosaur taught you can keep up… This shit aint necessarily what I was expectin. Straight up. Like at all… I thought shit would end up soundin like Recovery 2. I was actually relieved that it didnt nahmean. My instincts was wrong n shit. At the same time…as the shit started takin all those corny turns musically I hadda tell myself it might not be for ME…but these white folk gon love all that shit. Its a matter of preference n cultural identity n shit in a way namsayin. As far as the rhymes…its no question that son jus makin the shit look easy. But the boy can rap. Like when you compare how he rap to how ****** like Jay n Kanye is rappin these days…(or Lil Wayne smh) its really no contest. When you take into account all the major ****** in that 40+ category…its only maybe Nas thats fuckin wit him. Jus as far as bein a rapper. Obviously muthafuckas like Black Thought, Sean Price, Busta Rhymes n Pharoahe Monch is wild nice too…but on this mainstream level it aint too many ****** in the 40+ age group that can fuck wit Marshall b. But thats ability n talent vs actual music. I aint a big fan of the way Hov rappin these days but Magna Carta was a modern day rap album. Shit sounded current. Sometimes Em jus be datin hisself wit the references to old shit n the classic rock samples. But he also keepin it 100 wit hisself. So you gettin those pieces of his DNA.. n thats why even ****** who dont fuck wit Em can tell you the name of his manager n his uncle who died n where he grew up n what he insecure bout n his views on females n shit like that. Cuz he puttin hisself out there whenever he makes music. Summa it is trash n summa it you might consider amongst the greatest hip hop that ever existed. One thing I noticed was that son is finally startin to come to terms wit the fact that he a grown man wit kids n responsibilities n shit. He apologized to his moms for the hurt he caused her…he conflicted bout his treatment of females considerin he tryna raise two girls of his own…n even tho this his most lyrically advanced album since MMLP…he playin it kinda safe n keepin the shock tactics to a minimum. This probably his most tame album as far as who it might offend since like Infinite n shit. He choosin his words more carefully now. He evolved as a muthafuckin man. I aint sayin its a good or a bad thing… But if anything he recognizin the fact that if muthafuckas is sayin his legacy is safe n he dont got nothin else to prove that thats a dangerous place to be as a rapper. You dont wanna be that old ***** that muthafuckas is worshippin for past achievments but can't hold his own RIGHT NOW n shit. Like you might not be goin out ya way to cop new Kool G Rap music for example but you dont wanna fuck wit that ***** on the mic neither… like to this day. And thats a dude who been in the game since '86 n shit. His legacy is bulletproof but he also a animal on the mic to this day b. Em can either follow Hov down that path of too successful to give a fuckness that he on or he can humble hisself n stay in the race. See I recognize that "Rap God" aint son restin on his laurels…He aint sayin LOOKIT ME CHILLIN WIT MY FEET UP ON THESE CLOUDS N SHIT its his declaration that he can still eat any muthafuckas food he want when it comes to this rap shit. He not sayin LOOK AT WHAT I DONE ACHIEVED ALREADY…he sayin LOOK AT WHAT THE FUCK I CAN STILL DO…n you gotta admire that. Its hard to have that mentality when you comfortable n own a radio station n got the net worth of at least 275,000 regular rappers. Anyways…I think once the dust settles n the hype dies down…n muthafuckas stop feelin appalled by his choice of beats on this shit…this gon be seen for what it is…a solid album witta couple mediocre moments…some bullshit songs.. n one unforgivably wack track. While his fellow Detroit resident Big Sean continues to raise the bar on lowerin the bar in rap…Eminem wants to show you why ****** in Detroit got that reputation for spittin. ***** damn near EVERYBODY in Detroit can rap…so it makes sense that Eminem was bred for this shit. To be the white dude who rose above all the other rappers in a city like that you gotta be doin sumn crazy as a MC son…n he jus proved he still THAT (snow) *****.
Aight peace.
I gives this shit 4 Zeus slaps outta 5
