Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP 2 Discussion Thread (Nov 5th)

[BarryHalls]

Em is my favorite living rapper of alltime after Nas, but tbh, that first single discouraged me from gettin excited about the album. Ofc, Ima check it out, but i havent listened to any songs off it.

I feel you but Im not trippin. I only get excited with stuff I know I'm going to spend money on. Thank u rap god fathers.

 

[The_Man]

Bezerk took time to grow on me, typical single aimed at the charts nothing great, rap god is amazing, cant wait for the album.

 

[herbalism101]

People are fools if they go by the pop singles and think the album is going to be garbage....Rap God tells you it isnt.

 

[nujerz84]

As a song it kinda sucks...as far rapping goes its dope. I guess the title is fitting in that sense

 

[_Goldie_]

I started listenin to em around 97, so ofc ik not to go off the single alone, but tbh, i fucked with all of em's singles up to encore. I seen on his first single he was still on that screamin bs, this rap god joint is ill tho.

 

[Lou Cypher]

I dont like any of the singles. MIGHT bump rap god one day but i hate the beat. and the hook. But Rap god is better than Bezerk and that survival song.

 

[riddlerap]

Rap God is ill. i fuck with the beat too, its not that generic trash everyone is on nowadays. and it actually sounds good in the car.

Personally thought it was overrated. It's like niggas hear rappers rap fast and use alot of multi's and go ape fucking shit over it. smh

Kendrick does a lot of the same shit too. Ya'll are way too impressed by that fast rapping and multi's shit.

Most of the time these rappers ain't saying shit either.

 

[Already Home_17]

i listened to rap god 3 times. its cool but not that impressive. nothing about the song makes me want to listen to it routinely

i dont care if he's showing off his lyrical skill. he's done that on many songs that happen to be better than rap god

 

[The Recipe]

Hip Hops 1 and only true god Yeezus Christ dropped his 6th testament a few months ago and made me a believer.

I don't understand why Rap God's chorus or beat is considered bad personally. The whole track is dope IMO. What...do niggas expect from a Hip-Hop chorus and beat these days exactly?

I mean, does this too not require skills as an emcee? Whats the point in listening to some slow spittin rapper saying a bunch of "deep" shit, but who has no actual musical/emceeing ability?

This ain't Def Poetry Jam.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Next single is the Rihanna track

 

[IceBergTaylor]

I been saying I expect this album to be dope so I really hope he comes through on this one.

Looks like we'll find out this weekend or early next week when the inevitable leak occurs

 

[nj2089]

some dude on twitter said em is inventing a new style of lyricism smh

For a track like this, it's perfect the chorus is short and sweet and doesn't end up as a constant repeat of filler for the track.

I would say it's about a minute worth of a chorus with 5 minutes worth of actual spitting.

I can say I didn't care for the "looking boy" verse and the Ray-J and Fab mention.

"But but, He's white"

Go look at all them other white artist in other genres and see how Em dominates.

My roommate was laughing at some youtube comment he read on the rap god video, shit went like:

"poor drake, now he has to start at the bottom alllll over again"
