The follow up to the Marshall Mathers LP is an incredible
and may be his most complex and accessible album. At 21 tracks(bonus songs
included) it’s a thrill ride. Lyrically Em proves he hits hard, perhaps harder
than any other rapper today. His punchlines are better than on Recovery…..and
the production is better too. There are just so many interesting songs….somehow
Em has managed to be very introspective on almost every song. There’s also
songs like Berserk and Rap God, that are just cool songs but very effective. The
guest features are also good like Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar, but there aren’t many
guests here and really you don’t need a lot. The bonus songs help balance the
album out, but ultimately it’s the 2013 album of the year….
