    As an Eminem fan since the beginning I can without doubt say this is one of the best album Eminem has done. I've listened through this album over 20 times now and i'm not nearly bored. I'm liking it more and more, and its a delight.
    For those kids who says this album is bad, go back to listening to Lil-wayne and Drake.

    Eminem is indeed a Rap God.

    Solid album here by Eminem. Rhyming is great as always. His ability to use his multiple rhyme schemes while telling a story is unmatched in the industry. Favorite tracks have to be "Bad Guy" "Legacy" Love Game"

    This is mainly based off of the single "The Monster" but from this single I can tell that Eminem is back and he is back for blood. There is a reason why he is hailed as an amazing artist and a constant threat to all those opposing.

    He choose the worst songs to put out as singles. This is not as good as his first three, but it blows recovery, relapse and encore out of the freaking water.

    "Modern classic" was all that popped into my head as I listened to the dying seconds of 'Evil Twin.' Let's be honest, at the age of 41, no one is on Eminem's level.

Let's be honest, at the age of 41, no one is on Eminem's level. That being said, we tend to expect so much more from Eminem and those expectations grow following every release. Now Relapse and Recovery respectively were exceptional albums, however, the expectations exceeded the albums themselves. Releasing an album named after his most acclaimed/successful work to date raises the expectations for the MMLP 2 through the roof. I was a bit too nervous going into the album, but Eminem really proved a point this time. 13 years after the release of his masterpiece Marshall Mathers LP, he revisits unclosed topics with MMLP 2. He solidifies his positions in the rap game and provides a meaningful insight into his life as a grown man. The beats were absolutely outstanding and fresh. Without any doubt, the beats ranged from creative, old-school, new, hardcore and at times, odd. But this time, thanks to Rick Rubin, we were rewarded with a catalogue of beats so different and lavish, every time I put my headphones on I got a feeling that I just couldn't quite put a finger on. Marshall again surprised us with the lyrical wordplay that he's mastered, but somehow managed to top his unsurpassed lyricism. Overall, ask and ye shall receive, the real Slim Shady was lost, but now is found and he has relieved the fans with a musical gem.… Expand

    I was a bit suspicious until the last track on the LP was over.I enjoyed album a lot.
    So,there's little summary.
    I give album 10 out of 10 cause it's the album I've been waiting for a long time.
    Such tracks as Bad Guy,Rap God,Stronger Than I Was and A**hole make me sure that the King is back

    The best Eminem album since "The Eminem Show." Unfortunately, it doesn't reach the levels of lyricism and personality that "TES" and the first "MMLP".

In fact, the first single, "Berserk," is one of the worst Eminem songs since "Mockingbird" cheesed up "Encore." While MMLP2 hasn't made an impact on me at all, it's still interesting to listen to, despite Mather's unfruitful attempts to "take it back to straight hip-hop."… Expand

Here, he balances out the personas of Marshall Mathers, Eminem, and Slim Shady, while still keeping us on the edges of our seats with gripping stories (Bad Guy), rapid-fire wordplay (Rap God), sadistic humor (So Much Better), and nostalgic fits of nonsensical wit (Berzerk). The very few weak points in this album would be The Monster, for its over-reliance on Rihanna, and Stronger Than I Was, for its heartfelt, but overly poppy, feel. Other than those two Achilles' heels, this album is definitely a classic in the making. Not quite as good as the original Mathers LP, but definitely his best work in 11 years.… Expand

    Eminem logra nuevamente resaltar gracias a sus colaboraciones, pero discrepo a que "The Monster" con Rihanna sea la mejor, fórmula repetida sale peor. "Beautiful Pain" con Sia y "Headlights" con Nate Ruess creo que son las mejores sobretodo la primera, una verdadera pieza sonora.
    Eminem demuestra las grandes influencias de su primer disco en este, el MMLP2 su continuación. Buenas letras, ritmos nuevos sin mucha originalidad, grandes colaboraciones, pero sigo pensando que me falta ese Real Slim Shady, ese Not Afraid que sea un rap original y que pueda escuchar todo el día sin la ayuda de esa típica colaboración popera en el coro de la canción.

    The MMLP2 is absolutely brilliant. It definitely lives up to the hype and the legacy of LP. Berzerk, Survival and Rap god are the new masterpieces and the rest of the songs do not disappoint and are perfectly showing the original Slim Shady's style. Cannot wait for the next album, it seems Eminem has still got it.

    Eminem has certainly nailed with a mighty comeback with this album. Each of the songs is a masterpiece on its own especially Bad Guy, So much Better, Rap God and Headlights, of course for which Nate Ruess has lent his voice. Putting it more precisely, this album is just Awesomeness Personified. Period.

    "Bad Guy" The sequel to Stan, and it is very worthy, a must own of any Eminem fan (old or new)
    "Rhyme or Reason" A very cool sample track, I would recommend checking out.
    "So Much Better" Personally i didn't care for this one, a little sluggish
    "Survival" I'm sure you've heard this already as it has been milked the crap out of by the CoD ads. It's a decent song.
    "Legacy" I liked some aspects of this song but in the end I won't be listening to it very often, I know some people LOVE this song, so I would recommend checking it out just to see if you do like it.
    "A**hole" I thought this was a humorous track and enjoyed it (really liked the reference to "My name is")
    "Berzerk" Uses a Beastie Boy party beat and I liked it, it mixes things up.
    "Rap God" A insane free style like song proving how good of a lyricist and flow master Em is.
    "Brainless" A decent song, I enjoyed it.
    "Stronger Than I Was" Did not care for this track.
    "The Monster" As I said I never liked the Rhianna collaboration in the first place, and The Monster does not change my mind. But if you like "Love the Way You Lie" you will enjoy this.
    "So Far" I LOVE this song, it's got awesome samples from "My Name is", "Life's Been Good" by Joe Walsh, and Aerosmith. I ended up liking this song way more than I thought I would.
    "Love Game" A good collaboration with Kendrick, it's a decent track.
    "Headlights" A must hear for old time fans as it is a apology to his mother for all these years, a decent track. I feel F.U.N isn't the best choice to perform with Eminem.
    "Evil Twin" A Great track and a heck of a way to end it. I recommend picking it up.
    I will give a rating for the Deluxe and regular. For the regular album each song is worth 0.75 (Rap God, So Far, and Bad Guy get a whole point from me since I was so impressed) And deluxe each song is worth .50 (since there are 5 bonus tracks) I enjoyed all 5 bonus tracks, but the only one that really blew me away was
    "Desperation", I was shocked how well Em worked with Country.

    Regular: 8.25

    Eminem spits the verses all natural spontaneous and effortlesss. He is on fire with the fastest verses. He takes his previous style of rapping about other rappers to a whole new level which is new despite people complaining of stagnancy.

    Being white is an advantage to Mathers. Reason why I say this is because he doesn't have to be like the other rappers who abuse the 'N-word'. Eminem is not scared to be open about his feelings because rappers talk about being real and most of them aren't... His homophobic and aggressive lyrics and skits are creative and funny...

Em's verses on MMLP2 are more dense and intricate than anything out now. Em’s flow on Rap God is classic! It will have to go down as one the most famous lyrical displays ever in hip hop.

Em's verses on MMLP2 are more dense and intricate than anything out now. Em’s flow on Rap God is classic! It will have to go down as one the most famous lyrical displays ever in hip hop. There are also a ton of other songs on the album that are just as lyrically impressive as Rap God. Really, every track on the album showcases Em’s masterful lyrical ability.

    The album also has the powerful substance and emotion that people have come to associate with Eminem. “Bad Guy”, “Legacy”, “Headlights” and “Beautiful Pain” are probably the most substantive, emotional songs on the album. I loved them all!

    The production is great as well. This is one of Eminem’s best albums from a production standpoint. Teaming with Rick Rubin was a great idea. I loved what Rubin did with the “Berzerk”, “Love Game” and “So Far”. “Love Game” and “So Far” took a while to grow on me but they have become two of my favorite songs on the album. They are very unique and capture the essence of where Em is at right now in his life and career.

    MMLP2 is a great addition to the Eminem catalogue. We get to see one of the greatest lyricists/artists of his generation more mature and sober than ever. The result is a classic display of lyricism, emotion, and substance.

This album is a big improvement over recovery. However it suffers from some of the same problems that recovery did. Corny hooks and pop-ish beats. In the Marshall Mathers LP 2, he sounds sharp as ever on lyrics and flows. On songs like Bad Guy, Rhyme or Reason, and Brainless, he shows that he is back and ready to go blow for blow with the best lyricists in the game today (Yes we're talking to you Kendrick) I definitely don't recommend buying it but I do recommend a listen. Hopefully he'll learn from his mistakes on this one and maybe he'll put out another classic next time.… Expand

    He mixes in other artists and dumbs down the "Slim Shady" persona on The Reup, and they absolutely trash it and say he's lost his voice. 50. A 50, supposedly a worse album than IANAHB 2.
    Do You Sense the Bullsh.it Yet.....

    He brings back Slim Shady as violent yet comedic as ever on Relapse, and they say he's forcing the issue. 59.

    He changes his content for the more mature, stays witty, address' his past demons and shows immense growth as an artist on Recovery, and they say he's boring. 63.

    THEN, on MMLP2, he combines Recovery, MMLP, and the Eminem Show in an experimental, mature, hard-as-nails, yet emotional reflection on his career, and they give it a 73. Thats 7 points worse than Teflon Don, by Rick Ross.

    This album wasn't that bad compared to his other projects this decade. It had some nice tunes, cool melodies, throwback verses, and tracks that do hold some importance in his career (Rap God, The Monster, Bezerk, etc). It has some replay value and is just overall a surprisingly solid project.

    I hated the album when I first heard it, but then I listened to it a few more times and realised how great it was. The 'Parking Lot' skit was a good follow on from the first 'Marshall Mather LP' and 'Bad Guy' was a great story like 'Stan'. Easily the second best album from the latter half of his career (after Kamikaze).

    Eminem dropped another classic album from the Rap God himself called The Marshal Mathers LP 2, although I still love The Marshall Mather LP album, this sequal to his classic album is cool though. I highly recommend it.

    Eminem's best album since The Eminem Show. I particularly loved the tracks Rap God, Berzerk, Bad Guy, The Monster and Legacy.

    Bad Guy - Awesome album opener, such vivid storytelling from Em, 4th verse is one of Eminem’s greatest of all time.

    God, i can't believe people dislike this album. It's new, it's fresh, and every song kicks ass. Especially Brainless and Rhyme or Reason. My personal favorite.

    This is great album and shows how Eminem has grown as person. He is not bashing his wife/mother doesn't mean it is not good hip-hop album. Lyrically this is one of the finest album

    Even though his wit and word patterns still dazzle, they need a livelier canvas if the Eminem nostalgia experience is to be the thrilling one it should be. [Jan 2014, p.122]

    The music is almost secondary, his production' often leaden beats a mere sideshow to mind-bending internal rhyme pyrotechnics that jab hard at the surreal dial. [Jan 2014, p.92]

    Eminem might not be making “shock rap with Doc” like he used to be, but The Marshall Mathers LP 2 takes turns as equally bold and unpredictable as anything in his discography.
