Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 Tracklist…

First of all - having Rihanna plus Skylar Grey on MMLP2… really Em? It’s not the truth that they are pop stars (waits for someone to mention Dido) - as obviously Dido was on MMLP1, yet that was an organic sample reverse. And Dido was NOT an enormous pop star, she grew to become that because of “Stan”, therefore the move was not done for product sales. Where as having Rihanna in the fucking album… it’s simply so obvious.

MMLP was your anti-everything album: anti-censorship, anti-commercialism, anti-obvious… so if Em will probably create a sequel to that, should not it aim to be also less obvious, rather than living for really mediocre creative decisions which Em’s greatest detractors could guess using their eyes closed?

Secondly - these track titles appear abysmal. They literally seem like track titles fans have already been guessing for the past two years +, “Legacy” (really!? ). Such cute TV-friendly metaphor summations of themes about conquering the odds, intended to be performed over fucking sports montages are Recovery!

Finally : “Survival”. I don’t think I must explain why on this 1 so much. Em’s rapping with this track is fantastic, as well as the production actually isn’t bad… but it’s soo common and predictable. Again, this particular sounds like a Recovery remaining, it does not sound like a new period of Eminem let alone a time which is supposedly a sequel/improvement to his absolute work of genius. The Marshall Mathers LP was not about overcoming any kind of odds - Eminem had not been a self-serious fighter associated with obstacles… he was a separate badass, there was no this kind of thing as odds in order to overcome, he defined their own reality with his ingenious paradox and storytelling. This brand new Eminem is much more lame.
