Back then, Eminems multi-faceted talents as an artist of storytelling and a darkly comedic and often absurdist purveyor of ice cold satire allowed him to deliver resonant choruses at the centre of his genius raps. While Eminems writing ability seems largely back on the right track no more love is evil, spell it backwards Ill show you nonsense The Marshall Mathers LP 2 lacks what its spiritual father provided in heaps: hooks. After effectively disowning Encore and Relapse, he has left his previous album Recovery relatively untouched despite the fact that the moments where this album feels like a hangover from 2011 are its biggest flaws. That tongue of his is running at a healthy 6.5 words per second, as displayed in the dynamic electro grooves of Rap God, but when he admits to not being as big as was, it makes us wonder if he really is cognizant enough to work out why. He still hates women some things never change but his signature wit is ever so slightly less scathing (I got 99 problems and a bitch aint one / Shes all 99 of em, I need a machine gun!). If self-reflection is his new outlet of expression, what does this mean for the music? Is the second king of controversy (the worst thing since Elvis Presley) a soft touch? The answer: yes and no. In a moment of stark honesty during Asshole, he confesses Its apparent I shouldnt have been a parent, Ill never grow up. Thirteen years later, after terrorising Moby for still making music at thirty-six, it seems a lifetime of staring outwards has caught up on Eminem in The Marshall Mathers LP 2, he is more self-aware and diffident than ever. Rating: 2.5 When a kids getting bullied and shoots up his school and they blame it on Marilyn / And the heroin, where were the parents at? said Marshall Bruce Mathers III at twenty-eight years old, a fresh-faced hypercritical political observer with a pen and a supersonic tongue, but still a ten year old degenerate grabbing on genitals at heart.
