    Better beats and better hooks. There is only thing it`s worse than SIDE A and that`s music guests and even they are not bad here. I mean Dre? Cmon! He is getting better and better since Revival!

    Side B of music to be murdered by got no skips, from Alfred intro all the way to discombobulated. This is a top notch project that is slightly better than side A. I give it a solid 10.

It seems they are justvproving what they already believe in, and that is hating the artist. Even without paying enough heed to what the art is. In my oppinion, the critics are losing touch with reality and while Eminem's music keeps evolving they just continue to hate it cause of the past prejudices they hold against him as a person. This album is great, his fans and music listeners mostly love it, and I just do not believe the harsh critics that I have encountered about it, they are just so unfair.… Expand

    side b is pretty great and much much more enjoyable than Side A, which was released in January and it was alright for the time being and the highest point of Side A topped the lowest.

So this deluxe is honestly a breath of fresh air and Eminem seemingly having fun and testing out new and more modern sound with songs like “Book of Rhymes” “Killer” “Zeus” & “Favorite B*tch” hit the highlight of Side B is honestly his goofy lyrics and clever but dad-like jokes rhymes which honestly ARE funny but can come across “corny” to fans coming onto this album expecting top tier lyricism :( and hard punching bars upon bars..
    The last song in the deluxe is the most interesting as we gets throwback Eminem or as he yells at the beginning of “Discombobulated” , ACCENTSSSSSS” which was so nostalgic to hear and the song doesn’t disappoint as we hear a song that could’ve EASILY been on Relapse, with Dr Dre handling the production in this it’s a certified banger and a win for Relapse stans (like me!)    … Expand

    When Eminem dropped a new album when I was a kid, that was the best day ever for me. Listened to that album over and over on a cassette tape (and it was hard always rewinding a song that I loved but it was a small price to pay.
    Eminem is one of the few artists that after so long he still makes a lot of good music. Music that you hate to listen over and over because of the hidden messages,    When Eminem dropped a new album when I was a kid, that was the best day ever for me. Listened to that album over and over on a cassette tape (and it was hard always rewinding a song that I loved but it was a small price to pay.
    Eminem is one of the few artists that after so long he still makes a lot of good music. Music that you hate to listen over and over because of the hidden messages, multiple meanings or straight up good lyrics and beats.
    This man showed his middle finger to TV, radio, magazines, other important artists and he could never be stopped because of his talent and love for rap and hip hop.
    Alfred's Theme is my no. 1 song from the album and even if it's over 5 minutes the song feels like it's over way to fast.
    I'm glad that artists like him still exist. Artists that still write their own music, that you need to use your brain to understand it and even so you find out later it had more meanings.
    He is the rap god and I'm glad he didn't become Politically Correct like many other did. He still has his balls intact and ready to smack people who talk bad about him.
    It will never be someone as good as him. He's one of the many few artists that people will love even 200 years from now.
    This man doesn't even need marketing to promote his album or songs but he still becomes no. 1.
    Comparing this with people who invest so many millions in marketing to force people into liking their song (like playing it on the radio and tv over and over all day for months, ads all over the place, promotions from all kids of places) BUT Eminem does everything 100 times better without doing all of that.
    There's a lot of good songs on this album but it's so hard to stop listening to Alfred's Theme (on repeat for over 2 days and I feel like I need more).
    99% of the time I just listen to old music 60-70-80 and even 90s because I hate so much 99 of the stuff we hear today so I didn't care for music that much, at least not new music.
    I always searched for new features or songs that Eminem may have and always was disappointed when I never found anything.
    One song from this album has more complex and wonderfully written and rapped verses that you will never find in the top 10 whole career of any pop artist you see, hell, even hip hop if you talk about these days.

    "I'm still east side bi..."
    Oh yeah, this album will be on repeat for at least 6 months because I find it very hard to go to the next song when almost all of them are impossible to say no to, the repeat button is my best friend when listening to his album.
    EM gets a lot of hate but he also should know that he is also loved and gets a lot of respect from fans, including me.
    I'm not a big fan of anybody, I'm not a fan boy of anything, but Eminem's music made my childhood and even now, my adulthood less bad. It puts a smile on my face even if there's a lot of stuff that makes you think you lost that smile, forever.

    Just amazing how a rapper who raps for more than 20 years make one of his best albums with nearly 50 years old.
    Hope it wasn´t his last one

    This might be one of Em's best albums since The Eminem Show, and I don't say that lightly considering I love his entire discography. The way he incorporates his style and flow into more modern beats takes them to another level that the majority of artists today could never achieve or even dream of. And those beat changes though... killing the game!

The way he incorporates his style and flow into more modern beats takes them to another level that the majority of artists today could never achieve or even dream of. And those beat changes though... killing the game! This is the perfect infusion of Shady with the "new era" of hip-hop; current sounding beats with the spirit and feel of classic and new Eminem. His previous album ("Side A" of MTBMB) was already solid, but this just builds on that and somehow makes it even better. I feel like he had a lot of fun on this project, and is back in his element like old times. Then of course, there's the lyrics, flow, punchlines, entendres, metaphors, wordplay, etc. that are insane as always, and I'll probably be deciphering them for months to come lol. I love it! This album is truly a masterpiece, and an instant classic imo. The fact that we got two Eminem albums this year (and a lot of other great music) is at least one good thing I can say about 2020, and was a great way to open and close it out. Thank you Em for saving it as much as you could!… Expand

    He proves again why he is the Greatest lyrical artist of all time. Beat selection was good. Beat switches are great. Side B is filled with side A songs for just about any other rapper.

    This far exceeds the bar that was set by its predecessor. It seems like Eminem is back to having fun in the booth again, wordplay, beat switches, and hints of Dr.Dre lead this to be his best work in years.

    This album won't make you like Eminem. But, if you have been a fan of Eminem since the beginning, you will undoubtedly recognize this as one of his best outings.

    There are some truly standout gems on this B Side. I have grown tired of corny ballads and more mainstream pop sounding appeal. On this album he leaves most of that behind.

    There are some truly standout gems on this B Side. I have grown tired of corny ballads and more mainstream pop sounding appeal. On this album he leaves most of that behind. Long have I wanted to hear Em on a underground track styled like something RA the Rugged Man or AFRO would spit over. Alfred's theme was a dream come true for me. Songs like Favorite **** Book of Rhymes, and Discombobulated are also standout gems. Oh, how could I forget Gnat?

    If you're a fan of Em and a fan of hip-hop from the era the Em is from, this album is for you.

    I have never liked every track on even Em's classics. So as an Em fan, for me to say that the majority of this album is superb is saying something.

    Eminem may not be as influential on the culture or as great of an artist as he was, but from a technical perspective, he is better here than he has ever been.    … Expand

    Eminem at high level, awesome beats, and lyrics by Eminem. I really liked this album, it has a different vibe from kamikaze. MTBMB was strange for me, but Side B was not, it is different but not strange, it is Eminem different but it is Eminem, it is an album that pleases the stans

    When I heard they were releasing a Music To Be Murdered By deluxe I though it would only be like 3 or maybe 5 songs. But we get a full on 13 and I gotta say I was not dissapointed at all. Like side A this is incredible and I'm still having a hard time deciding which is better since both are masterpieces. So many incredible songs like Book of Rhymes, Alfred's Theme, Gnat, and so much more.When I heard they were releasing a Music To Be Murdered By deluxe I though it would only be like 3 or maybe 5 songs.

    Who listens to rap "critics"?

    This is Eminem at his best. He has found his sound in modern hip-hop with Side B. And this is the best Eminem we have had since the Eminem Show, in my opinion. Why do I say that? Because, simply put, these songs sound great. These songs focus on going back to basic hip-hop and nailing the sounds again, and the product is something special.

    The lyricism is better than much of his recent work, because a broader spectrum of people understand the complexity without needing to be a scholar. Some Stans may hate that, but hip-hop fans are going to really vibe with the sounds and the speeds of Side B.

    Slim Shady is BACK!

    Lyrically on the same level as MMLP, only slightly behind in some beats. The references and double entendres in this album are some of the best he's done, and he's back to his playful, less angsty tone that made him so good in his first 3 albums.

    Makes you realize how far ahead he is. Nobody else on the scene right now is even close to his level of lyricism and wordplay !

    Only Eminem fans understand and appreciate Eminem/Slim Shady. All any critic has to do is tune in to YouTube and look at the reactions to ANYTHING released by the legend. I challenge anyone to name another rapper in the game who is still going and is still as relevant over 20 years after beginning their career. MTBMB Side B is another masterpiece that blends the old and new.

    Absolutely love this album.
    The flow and the beat are great, godly throughout, Em is still finding new pockets, also some are new some are nostalgic. Alfred's theme and discombobulated are orgasmic relapse nostalgia that everyone's been after. That Dre beat is **** amazing.
    Word play as always is on another level. The lyricism and schemes are phenomenal. Even the "corny" lines are still clever.
    Zeus and gnat are two pieces of art that should be classic. ...

    Side B is a 16-track expansion that delivers familiar territory with some pops of Em at his sharpest.

    Side B is not a total miss though, nor even a miss at all. Once Mathers stumbles through this opening salvo and the awkward bits of “Tone Deaf”, the album settles into a comfortable space, and even becomes enjoyable.

    Over the three-song run of "Alfred's Theme" (which jacks Charles Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette," best known as the theme music to Alfred Hitchcock Presents, to delirious effect), "Tone Deaf," and "Book of Rhymes" (which climaxes with a flurry of DJ Premier scratches), Slim Shady stuffs more rewind-worthy punchlines and flow variations than most rappers will deliver in a whole career. ... Other attempts feel more forced. ... More compelling are the two tracks produced by D.A. Got That Dope.
