gave this album a spin earlier today... i really enjoyed it. there's a couple tracks i could see myself never wanting to play again (
), but the majority of the album is real quality music. i felt like he delivered with this project.
bad guy was such an amazing track to start off on... this being matthew's POV was crazy. once he started going into the stan flow
then the beat switch
parking lot was a classic em skit
the time of the season sample on rhyme or reason & lifes been good on so far...
im not used to hearing em go over clearly sampled tracks like this. same with berzerk.
em vs kendrick :x :x that damb hook is gonna be stuck in my head all the time i can already tell
i swear i can sit back & listen to em talk his **** for the longest time... evil twin was the perfect example of him just going all the way off.
im frustrated cause ain't no more nsync, now im all out of wack
im all out of backstreet boys to call out and attack
sometimes i listen & revisit them old albums
often as i can & skim through all them *******
to make sure i keep up with my competition
**** top 5, *****, im top 4
& that includes biggie & pac, *****
& i got an evil twin, so who do you think that 3rd & that 4th spots for?
headlights is so deep... real vulnerable track.
brainless sounds straight off relapse
im probly never going to admit this again... but i mess with stronger than i was
back when he dropped the news of the title being MMLP2, i was very critical because i hold that album to such a high standard & i was afraid of it being along the lines of recovery & being used just for publicity. i felt like with all the references to the MMLP throughout the album, him going with that title didn't leave me disappointed.
i loved all the references to the MMLP (& even some to the SSLP)... i was geeked in the car when i heard them come on
bad guy - really the whole track
but once he started mentioning the broncos hat ( the starter cap
) & then forward
rhyme or reason - criminal flow at 4:44
so much better - "im just playing ***** you know i love you" kill you reference
******* - "It's apparent I shouldn't of been a parent" who knew reference & "thanks for the support *******" my name is reference
rap god - "6 minutes slim shady your on" remember me reference & the columbine line from im back
so far... - the real slim shady reference, beat switch, & flow & the head in the mailbox line was a reference to im back
i think there was a couple more but i gotta go back & listen again.
