I really fucking love this album. Rap God gave me a lot of hope, and I discovered the leak a couple days ago when I went to go look if it was released yet. Listened to it all in one go. I think it had a perfect balance of Eminem's style throughout the years. Some old MM, some Recovery, everything. I don't know what all the critic hate for Recovery is all about. Recovery sold more albums than any other in the entire year when it was released, and Not Afraid is one of his best songs. So I don't really mind the "Recovery-sounding" songs on MMLP2. Such an amazing balance. It's slightly annoying that he sounds homophobic and misogynistic at times, but it's not that big of a deal when you consider that in actuality he's not homophobic and is just basically playing a character and trying to illustrate a kind of frame of mind and life. So I think some people are overreacting in the media about that shit. I'm as LGBT as it gets and it's still a really good album. I've been waiting for this album for years.
Survival is by far the worst, right next to Berzerk, it sounds way too pop-rock and almost like a sell-out to appeal to a wider variety of people. Rap God is easily the best. I know everyone always says it, but he really is a lyrical genius. He's a modern day poet, so many hidden meanings, references, and deeper concepts than what appears on the surface. He packs a hundred words/full idea into a single line.
