With the Kendrick Lamar feature, the song I was most looking forward to when I first saw the track list, “Love Game,” sounds like something you would hear in a fifties diner or on the “Grease” soundtrack. While it is unlike the typical hip-hop sound, I’m not so sure it works. As expected due to Rick Rubin executive producing the album, there are several songs that fuse modern Hip-Hop with rock and eighties hip-hop. The beats on the album weren’t anything special, either. With the exception of a few tracks, Slim didn’t make any song concept that he hasn’t already released multiple times. Instead, MMLP2 sounds like the same song, over and over again. ![]() There isn’t a single song channeling an almost tangible amount of frustration (“The Way I Am”), no extraordinarily creative narrative song (“Stan”), not a chilling “love” song (“Kim”). However, after listening to it, I didn’t hear any of the aspects of that made the first LP so appealing to me.
