Bad Boy artist, and first white rapper signed to the label, Machine Gun Kelly recently said the reason he hasn't given Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 a listen is because he is scared of the album disappointing him. I understand his predicament. I am an Eminem fan too, and was scared to listen to the album cos I didn't want to be let down.
Below are his words concerning the album...
“I’m still scared to listen to it. I’m scared to listen to it ‘cause that’s my idol. That’s my idol, I feel like he’s said all he has to say. Of course I’m gonna love anything he does, I would hope people would be the same with me. Have I listened to it? No. Am I scared to listen to it? Yes. Do I want to listen to it? Dude, I wanted to listen to it the second I even heard he was recording it. I’m scared to make that step, ‘cause I don’t ever wanna look at my idol like, ‘Uhhh.’ I hear so many different things, but fuck people’s opinions I’ll make my own. I’l listen to it when I get off tour.” (Interview on Montreality).
What can I say...Eminem still has the skills, but it is just hard to think that a 41 year old rapper would still be rapping the same way he was when he was 26. I guess that's my only problem with Eminem. He is making farting sounds on skits, jumping around in videos...I don't know, it just doesn't go well with me. I still loved him on serious songs like Legacy, and Headlights; and on creative songs like Bad Guy and Brainless. I guess I wish he would be a little bit more serious on his albums.
