Brand new album from legendary rapper Eminem featuring the hit singles “Berzerk”, “Rap God” and “The Monster” along with “Survival” the official song of Call of Duty: Ghosts. Executive produced by Dr. Dre & Rick Rubin, “The Marshall Mathers LP2” deluxe version includes 2 CDs. Review: Great album - Great album and finally have it on vinyl now. Headlights is my favorite song in here but they are all great. Review: 38yr old white guy from small town-Eminem fan from day one(ps-listen to Desperation-amazing track-on deluxe only) - Eminem,sometimes misunderstood,often troubled,usually controversial,but always damn honest sincere and never shy about his emotions. My life at times felt and was very similar to Marshal,so at times his music has helped me say a lot of what I wish I could. Sometimes he said things I didnt want to hear but needed. I am no Stan,and I dont have a troubled relationship with an ex,I often got along exceptionally well with all my past loves,but Eminem has been an identifiable figure since I first heard that first rap bout the Real Slim Shady. It opened me up to listen to more. I have owned every cd he has put out,have had my faves and my songs I could do without but he alwys had enough solid raps to make every cd a great buy. Version 2 of the MM LP continues his same proven and reliable track record of making a buy very worth every penny since there are plenty that will see high rotation in your playlist. Make sure you buy the Deluxe version,there are a few songs that are amazing that are not on the cheaper version and you will regret not having them. My absolute favorite song is Desperation. While it has the standard Eminem rap,it puts one hell of a twist to it that makes it something we have never heard from him and damn I love it. I have always been good in the past of listening to a cd right away and picking the songs that will be hits,this is one he could have never put out to promote the cd,but I gaurantee this will be one we hear a lot in the near future. The sound,the beat,the lyrics,I urge everybody to give this a listen and request it on your fave station,I really wanna see what kinda video this song will have so we all gotta rave about it so mtv or bet will get a video of this rap. Seriously...Desperation,if you dont know or dont give it a chance you might be taken by suprise. I of course am always excited bout new Eminem,after getting Berserk a few weeks back and its scattered and bizare lyrics I was a little worried,even tho I loved the beat I was a bit confused by the words. Now that I have the whole cd on my hard drive I gotta say those little worries have been put to ease. I also read the rolling stone story a bit ago,how naming this version 2 was not just a stunt,but that he wanted to put that same energy into this,he wanted that same quality that we got from the first one. It wasnt just done to sell a cd,he did it because he put that same love sweat and tears into it,he did it to really let the fans know this was gonna be the best he could do,that we could expect the same energy and effort,that we would get another cd full of amazing songs destined to be hits. Along with another reliable pairing with Rihanna for one track he put together a couple others to an amazing level along with plenty of his own solo stuff to make this cd everything he hoped it would be. Eminem,you did it again. I am impressed,and proud of ya. Mabye I am getting too old for this music,but I sure am not ready to give it up,and if Eminem keeps putting out this high quality stuff I aint gonna give it up till I am dead.

Em's best album in years - another classic
Eminem's been around in the last 10 years or so, doing enough to let you know he's there and he hasn't really fallen off or just to announce his real-life drug problems are past him, but as an Eminem fan I can't say any of his more recent albums ever matched the high water mark of Slim Shady LP, the Marshall Mathers LP, or the Eminem Show. This changes that. Clearly, Em put a LOT of work into this one and felt he owed it to his fans. He has a lot on this album that appeal to his older fans, like a skit that continues the robbery scene from "Criminal" and he samples tracks and makes references to them several times. Eminem's as sharp as ever on this album. His clever references and twisted phrases are still there as always, as are his complex compound rhyme patterns that set him apart from most other lyricists. Throughout the album it feels like he's making that point to you - "I'm still here." People talk about the "old Em," it's just that Marshall Mathers, the person, is in a much different place than he was 10 years ago. His personal life was VERY dysfunctional and not that far removed from his pre-fame days, which the fame seemed only to exacerbate. He was full of rage and angst and that came through in his albums, actually provided some sort of fuel. But he's not in that place anymore these days, he's sober, his scores are mostly settled as he watched his daughter grow up, and he regrets how out of hand his relationship with his mother had gotten. I joked before this release "what's he gonna talk about, being rich and filling out college applications with his daughter?" The MMLP2 takes a lot of the personal stories from the original MMLP and ties them up, most notably with "Headlights." He's got plenty of material, he's still over-the-top, it's just different now. Over the years Eminem's left signals that his heart wasn't really in it anymore and he was ready to pass the torch and call it a day. Maybe he's changed his mind since then, who knows, but his heart was definitely in this one. I don't know that this will be his last album, or if he feels like calling it quits. If he did, this would be a good place to do it. In any case, whenever he decides that, it should definitely be on his terms.

Music is 5 stars
Great album. Album is 5 stars. Condition of the physical product is poor. Scratches on both discs and a big smudge on the bonus disc. And this was purchased as "new". I keep buying "new" media (CDs, movies/blu rays) that are quite obviously used and re-shrink-wrapped. And not just from third party sellers. I even got one (from a third party seller) that was sold as new and wasn't even shrink wrapped; it just had a sticker on it that said "new". But about the actual music, Eminem has officially rebounded from Relapse with Recovery and now MM2. I got a great deal on the deluxe ed of MM2 (about $6.50) so I'm not gonna complain too much of the condition of the physical media. Just wished they weren't so shady. Music is def worth $10+ and I would have gladly paid that for an actual new copy but it's too much work to return it. It plays and the case isn't too damaged, so whatever.

Wenn im Jahre 2013 einer meiner absoluten Favoriten der Musik (Im Bereich Hip Hop sogar die unbestrittene Nummer 1) nach 3-jähriger Pause eine neue LP ankündigt, die dann auch noch durch ihren Titel "The MMLP 2" eine musikalische Rückkehr meiner, im Jahre 2000 erschienenen, bisherigen Lieblings LP dieses Künstlers verspricht, sind Vorfreude und Erwartung kaum mehr zu bremsen. Und um es direkt vorweg zu nehmen: Marshall Mathers und sein Team haben meine Erwartungen erfüllt und bei weitem übertroffen. Ich hatte die Befürchtung, dass das ganze aufgesetzt wirkt. Das Eminem ein Image verkörpert, welches er vor über einem Jahrzehnt hatte. Das die Lieder deshalb an Authentizität verlieren könnten. Alles Quatsch. Klar, der Mann ist über 40 Jahre alt und die textlichen Inhalte sind mal wieder provokant, beleidigend, persönlich und verbittert. Manchmal kann einem da schon die Frage in den Kopf schießen, ob er irgendwann mal erwachsen wird. Aber es wirkt zu keiner Sekunde peinlich oder kindisch. Über Eminems Fähigkeiten zu rappen muss man kaum mehr Worte verlieren. Seine Texte, in Form von Reimketten, Wortspielen und anderen sprachlichen Mitteln sind wie immer außergewöhnlich. Seine Flows einzigartig und seine Stimmvariationen besser den je. Er hat sich selbstironisch den Titel des "Rap God" verliehen und liefert auf diesem Album einen Beweis der Extra Klasse. Ein paar Sätze möchte ich jedoch über die Dinge außerhalb seiner unantastbaren Rap Skills verlieren. Die Produzenten haben unglaubliche Arbeit geleistet. Jeder einzelne. Egal ob Rick Rubin ("Berzerk", "Love Game", "Rhyme or Reason"), Emile Haynie ("Legacy", "Headlights"), der fantastische Luis Resto mit seinem Keyboard ("So Much Better", "Stronger Than I Was", "Brainless") oder auch die aktuellen Größen wie DJ Khalil ("Survival") und Alex da Kid ("Asshole"). Alle haben die Message, die hinter diesem Album steckt, verstanden. Es ist musikalisch eine gelungene Anlehnung an alte Eminem Zeiten, die allerdings mit neuen und modernen Einflüssen absolut im Jahr 2013 ankommt und einen letztlich ganz einzigartigen und abwechslungsreichen Sound bietet. Das Eminem viele seiner Lieder selbst mitproduziert hat, ist nur ein weiterer Beweis seines Talents und seiner Genialität. Das Album bietet sehr viele Gastauftritte, nicht alle sind in der Tracklist aufgeführt. Nun kann man sich daran stören oder nicht. Ich finde, es sorgt für eine unglaubliche Individualität der Lieder und schafft eine gewisse Abwechslung, die aber immer an einen klar erkennbaren roten Faden geknüpft ist. "Love Game" mit Kendrick Lamar, "Survival" mit Liz Rodrigues und "Headlights" mit Nate Ruess sind hierfür nur ein paar Beispiele. Auch die vielen Samples und die immer wieder auftauchenden Verweise auf alte Eminem Songs fügen sich nahtlos ein und wirken mit, dass diese CD eventuell in ein paar Jahren als Eminems Masterpiece verstanden werden könnte. Ich kann nur eine absolute Kaufempfehlung für "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" aussprechen. Es ist grandios geworden. Eminem untermauert seinen Status, wirkt dabei aber nicht verkrampft, sondern experimentierfreudig und flexibel. Es ist wahrlich ein Genuss!!! Ich möchte nun noch schnell einige Anspieltipps näher vorstellen: "Bad Guy" - Wer "Stan" geliebt hat, wird "Bad Guy" verehren. Diese Geschichte, die Eminem uns erzählt, ist genial. Die Art und Weise wie er sie uns erzählt ist göttlich. Die letzten zwei Minuten sind atemberaubend. Der Song erzeugt eine Art Nostalgie gepaart mit dem dumpfen Gefühl, eines der besten Rap Lieder aller Zeiten gehört zu haben. "So Much Better" war nach dem ersten Anhören der LP mein heimlicher Favorit. Was Luis Resto und Eminem hier produziert haben, ist einfach ein richtig geiles Brett und ein typischer Eminem Song. Dazu gehören ein simpler Rhythmus und ein provokanter, witziger und wütender Text, den Eminem hervorragend präsentiert. "Legacy" erzeugt bei mir eine Melancholie und Gänsehaut wie ich sie bei einem Eminem Song schon lange nicht mehr gespürt habe. Wieder ein sehr persönlicher Text von Marshall, auf den es sich sehr lohnt zu achten, man erfährt vieles über seine Kindheit und was er da erzählt, lässt keinen Hobby Psychologen kalt, der Eminems weitere Biographie verfolgt hat. Emile Haynie hat hier etwas Wunderbares produziert. Das Instrumental mit seinen Effekten und der Effekt auf der Stimme passen perfekt! Die Atmosphäre ergreift einen und zieht einen ein bisschen runter, aber auch das gehört zu guter Musik. Das gesungene Intro und der Refrain sind sehr ergreifend, aber vor allem die Bridge vor dem ersten Refrain hat es mir angetan. "And if you fall, i'll get you there / I’ll be your savior from all the wars / that are fought inside your world / please have faith in my words" ist einfach nur berührend. Auf "Stronger Than I Was" erlebt man Eminem in experimenteller Laune. Erneut unterstützt von dem fantastischen Keyboard von Luis Resto hat Eminem ein wunderschönes, langsames Instrumental gezaubert, auf dem er die ersten beiden Strophen teilweise fast schon schnulzig singt. Aber es klingt gut und überhaupt nicht peinlich. Ich finde seine Stimme großartig und finde es faszinierend, dass Eminem auch Balladen kann. Mein letzter Anspieltipp ist das fantastische "Headlights": "Headlights" hat so etwas unglaublich Versöhnliches und Beruhigendes. Eminem wird sehr persönlich, man hat das Gefühl, dass er all den Hass, den er all die Jahre gegenüber seiner Mutter gespürt haben muss nun endlich hinter sich lassen konnte. Er verarbeitet dieses Verhältnis auf seine Art und Weise. Vielleicht stören sich einige an Nate Ruess. Ich für meinen Teil mag seine Stimme und die Musik, die er macht wirklich sehr und finde er passt hervorragend in dieses Lied. Es ist 2013, Eminem ist mittlerweile über 40 Jahre alt und auch wenn er auf dem Album frisch, jung und immer noch provozierend klingt, hat man zumindest bei "Headlights" das Gefühl, dass der gute Mann reif geworden ist und Dinge heute ein bisschen anders sehen kann. Eigentlich kann das ganze Album als Anspieltipp genommen werden! Und auch die Bonus CD ist nicht weniger gut! Noch ein bisschen experimenteller vielleicht, aber in gewohnter Klasse! (Vor allem "Beautiful Pain" und "Baby") So bleibt mir am Ende nur noch zu sagen: THANK YOU MARSHALL MATHERS
