Like the title says this a thread for all Hiphop fans and Eminem stans to come discuss their thoughts on Eminem's new LP.

In my honest opinion I believe it's Slim's best work The Eminem Show, while there are a few 'meh' tracks such Survival, and The Monster, there are unbelievable tracks such as Rap God, Evil Twin, Bad Guy (my personal favorite), Headlights, etc.

Two songs that I'd like to talk about are 'Bad Guy' and the Kendrick featured track 'Love Game'.
I'm going to put the song in the spoiler thingy as the album was leaked and there are plenty of people that want for the official November.5th release date (I tried and obviously failed)

Bad Guy
This was the best opener to an Eminem album since 'Kill You' on the first LP imo. As the song goes on true fans will realize that it's actually a sequel to 'Stan' this time from Stan's little brother Matthew and he has grown up with a hatred for Slim and plots his revenge. In the song he kills Em and makes many references to the the first song that I think alot of people will enjoy. What stands out to me is the 4th verse in which Eminem just goes off!!! He addresses his rise and fall in discography and homophobia and misogyny. I was amazed and it's definitely an instant classic imo

Love Game
This was a very anticipated song for myself and many other people cause Eminem and the best new rapper out Kendrick Lamar actually made song together. This song won't be what people expect which is probably a Rap God/Control part 2, but it delivers in it's own unique way. It's a very lyrical but goofy song that some most likely won't enjoy. But Kendrick proved that he can keep up with Em, his verse trumps Eminem's first verse and his arguably better than Em's last verse but I'm still torn on which I like more because Em's flow and wordplay on his 2nd verse was nothing short of phenomenal. K.dot was also very good on the hook imo. Definitely one of the more unique hiphop collabs in recent years, and a VERY funny song. Em's first verse literally made me LOL

So yeah while there are a few mediocre tracks the great songs more than make up for them and if you plan on buying the deluxe edition, word-of-mouth says that the bonus songs are all great. So with that I think you have a great rap album, best album of the year (way better than magna-carter that shit sucked, and I never been I fan of Drake so I will never put myself through the agony of listening to his albums) The Stan (or Matthew ;D) in me won't allow me to give this album anything less than a 5/5.

What do you guys/girls think?

I loved the album. When I realized what Bad Guy was truly about, my jaw dropped and I was like "Hollly shit!"

The album contained everything we love about Em, cool skits, clever lines, nice disses and jabs, story-telling, meaningfulness, emotion, and hype tracks.

The only tracks I have issues with is The Monster, So Far and Love Game.

The Monster sounds a bit too much like a Recovery track, but the lyrical meaning makes up for it.

So Far is just kinda eh to me.

Love Game was not what I was expecting at all, and so I had some bias to this track. However, further listening showed me that it was very clever and had good flow and amazing rhyme schemes and enjoyable, so it grew on me.

My favorite tracks:

1. Ass Hole
2. Headlights
3. Rhyme or Reason/Legacy
4. Bad Guy
5. Stronger Than I Was

You know I completely forgot about So Far..
Yeah that song is very meh. But yeah I was also amazed when I realized what Bad Guy was about, that frickin blew my mind. I'm still like "this n*gga did not just do that". freakin love that song.

This album better go platinum in it's first week. Or at least have better first week sales than Recovery.

Yeah if he doesn't sell more than MagnaCarter or NothingWasTheSame than ima lose faith in mankind.

That line in love game where Em said "You an intimate date, I wanna intimidate." I was buggin, what insane wordplay. Same with Kendrick Metaphor and Medal for..I hope they do another song together, maybe on K.Dot's sophomore album ..hopefully.

Yeah I did like a few more songs than you did so I guess that's why we have a different in rating. But I do agree with it being better than his past 3 albums. You can tell he put a lot of work into this album.

Nice, I'm glad to see people enjoying the album all over the net. Seeing all the Eminem hate when 'The Monster' was released was TOO much for me lol. The song isn't the best, but every artist is gonna have meh songs here and there.

I just had a thought. What if Eminem made a surprise appearance on Dot and Cole's colab album?

That would have to be a crazy dope track, not goofy like Love Game. Being that Em is going on tour with K.Dot and J Cole next year it's very possible that that could happen.

"It's poetry in motion like freddie roach when he's quoting, Shakespeare"

This was one of the dopest lines on the album, but it's probably gonna go over a lot of people heads

That really wouldn't surprise me, he is touring with them down here in Australia and NZ, plus probably more places that I don't know about.

OT: Haven't listened to the album yet, just waiting to the buy the deluxe edition on the 5th. I don't like when albums get leaked... Sort of ruined the Bad Meets Evil release when that got leaked, but oh well nothing I can do about it.

Yeah I agree, I think people should fully support this album. I pre-ordered /w MMLP2 hoodie so he already got my 94 dollars so I decided to spoil myself a little.:sweat:

I tried to get that. The second I clicked on it, it said sold out. Same with the T-shirt package too. I'm just gonna have to go store hunting.
Yeah my girl is a bigger Em fan than I am and she missed the deadline too so I'm pretty much never gonna get to wear it :NO:
