Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP2 - Music & Performance - CD

He's back, but maybe not in the way you would expect. For Eminem to call his latest album The MMLP2, well, quite frankly everyone is going to expect it to live up to its predecessor. In most songs, lyrically, it does just that. Em goes back to his roots and pulls no punches, remaining the center of controversy with his colorful lyrics we all know and love. However, old school Eminem isn't so old school anymore. The MMLP was released over 13 years ago and as amazing as it was, we have to realize that Eminem is a little bit mainstream these days. Though not over the top, I would have never expected a duo with Nate Ruess (.fun lead singer# Rihanna #since Recovery) and Kendrick Lamar. Even His 'Survival' music video is implemented with the new Call of Duty. All that being said, it was a great album and I can't wait for the next one. If you just can't seem to enjoy it and think Eminem is dead, you have to stop expecting the old Eminem. Its been well over a decade now since then and we have to keep moving on. He's progressing, but if you want his old style, buy his old album!

I loved it! This cd is his best yet.
