Give me a reason to like Recovery/MMLP2

Still think MMLP 2 is way better than Relapse

[Elision]

MMLP2 is my favorite em album as far as I'm concerned. He did everything on it, I don't know what more you could want. There's something for everybody on it. I don't like every track but the ones that I do like I really like. It's an incredibly powerful album. Headlights almost a year later is still too hard for me to listen to. And the closing verse of bad guy is the first time music actually gave me a panic attack. That shit was just too real the first time I heard it. Admittedly I was tripping at the time but still, music shouldn't be able to do that.

You fucking like Encore but dislike MMLP2 and think it's worse than Recovery?
Gtfo, this is laughable .

If you're not going to like it, then you're not going to. This is like forcing you to like a certain food.

lmao my nigga...

on topic: i remember listening to an interview when Eminem said that TES was when he felt he started to stray away from what fans wanted from him, which i guess was the content featured in the SSLP and the MMLP. In light of that, I would say that MMLP2 is a sort of return to form in some aspects - it was like he evolved his style to this rapid fire, precise, staccato (at times), flexible, vibrant flow but at the same time devolved back to his signature "talking to the listener" type presentation (ex. Evil Twin, Brainless, RoR). In addition to this, the way he would accentuate certain sounds and words in his earlier material can also be picked up from the mmlp2. This is the main reason why I enjoyed this album. Nearly every eminem fan, with some form of intelligence who found themselves questioning the current skill and artistry of Eminem after Recovery, probably experienced some restored faith in Eminem after the mmlp2.

Recovery, on the other hand, was the album that served as a more appropriate successor to the original mmlp in terms of re-establishing and redefining the Eminem brand as a commercial artist as well as securing a large fan base in a newer/younger demographic. So now, not only does Eminem appeal to the original fans from the early 2000s and 90s but he also appeals to newer fans from 2010 to now. The point is that Recovery as an album cannot be ignored and cast off due to its apparent mediocrity because it is a vastly relevant album in the context of Eminem's career and in hip-hop in general. Who the fuck goes 4x Platinum in today's current music climate? Recovery served as a commercial masterpiece that was, in reality, generally average on an artistic level. The problem with Recovery is that it was 'manufactured' to be so (or at least it seems like it was). MMLP was such a commercially successful project because of its artistic prowess.

I personally do not really like Recovery as an album but I will sometimes revisit the album because of its relevancy and impact on the rap game and Eminem's career. Also, it is interesting to see how his style has evolved from Relapse to MMLP2 album by album. I remember thinking, after I heard MMLP2, that Relapse and Recovery were almost like warm up albums for Eminem do get back into his prime form which I feel he is fast approaching. I don't know what else to say....its time to smoke, fuck yall
