DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection
Was MMLP a personal album about Eminem's life? Or was it like Relapse?

This is from a discussion Sccit and I were having, so I just wanna take a poll. I don't want to twist his words so let me post what his side is exactly in a direct quote

lol
my favorite em album is MMLP
it's definitely not all songs about his life... "Kill You", "I'm Back", "Bitch Please 2", "Remember Me", "Criminal", "Amityville", "Real Slim Shady", "Under The Influence", "Who Knew", "Marshall Mathers" to name a few
some of these u can argue were somewhat more subject driven than others
but to act like he was just this deeply introspective emcee 24/7 during his prime is off homie

Sccit:
relapse is a concept album
mmlp is not like relapse
mmlp was a blend of deeper cuts (stan, the way i am) and playful slim shady character type joints (remember me, bitch please 2)
doggfather:
Do we need 4-5 different thread bout Eminem?!
Really?!

Even "Remember Me" and "Bitch Please 2" are personal cuts..
"Remember Me" he's reminding everyone who the fucc he is in case ya'll forgot...
My baby's mom, bitch made me an angry blonde
So I made me a song, killed her and put Hailie on
I may be wrong, I keep thinkin' these crazy thoughts
In my cranium, but I'm stuck with a crazy mom
^^seems personal and introspective to me
and "Bitch Please 2" was a diss verse to Timothy White responding to a billboard magazine critic who disrespected his album and much of the album was Eminem responding to the critics of his previous album which carries a clear narrative and flow from the previous album to the next and his career trajectory because at the time it was a big controversy and women's hate groups and gay rights groups were picketing outside his shows.
"Give me the mic, let me recite 'til Timothy White
Pickets outside the Interscope offices every night
What if he's right? I'm just a criminal makin' a livin' off of the world's misery
What in the world gives me the right to say what I like
And walk around flippin' the bird?
Livin' the urban life like a white kid from the burbs
Dreamin' at night of screamin' at Mom, schemin' to leave
Run away from home and grow to be as evil as me
I just want you all to notice me, and people to see
That somewhere deep down, there's a decent human being in me
It just can't be found, so the reason you've been seeing this me
Is 'cause this is me now, the recent dude who's being this mean
So when you see me dressin' up like a nerd on TV
Or heard the CD usin' the fag word so freely
It's just me bein' me; here, want me to tone it down?
Suck my fuckin' dick, you faggot, you happy now?"
^^Seems pretty personal and introspective to me

u can say this about literally any hip hop track
"bro H to the Izzo is Jay-Z rapping about how cool he is! super personal!!!"
a couple lines about how his wife pisses him off and how he hates his mom doesn't make a song deep and introspective lol
especially when he's just repeating it over n over .... come on, let's be real
