Now, I have to stress that there are many little things on the album that you’ll miss if you don’t pay attention. In fact, it’s quite reminiscent of Stan with Dido’s soothing vocals. Eminem’s storytelling abilities are in top form, and for once the female chorus doesn’t piss you off. Legacy is easily the most addictive song, and even rivals some songs on MMLP. The beats on the album range from stellar to poor. It is sufficiently different from Recovery and even features several songs good enough to be on the original MMLP. Just like the MMLP was the autobiography of Eminem in 2002, however, so is MMLP2 the autobiography of him today. Let’s face it, MMLP2 never had the slightest chance to compare. How could he name the album after his biggest classic album ever? The Marshall Mathers LP was just that, Marshall unplugged, vulnerable and raw. Likewise, when Eminem announced the title of his new album, his critics were either howling in laughter or simply frowned and let out a sigh. ![]() As it is, however, it’s no secret that he went on to release a pair of stinkers that took a toll on his credibility before finally returning to form on 2010’s Recovery. In 2002, his discography was effectively flawless. ![]() I once told a friend of mine that had Eminem been violently murdered after the release of the Eminem Show, he would be an even bigger legend than 2pac himself. Review Summary: Shady's back, back again, and perhaps for the last time ever.
