Andre91 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 It was really noticeable on one of the older songs where he had a bit of a higher pitched, nasal style, I knew then that it wasn't just the hype man. He wasn't "miming" though, he was legitimately rapping over the backing track. Fine by me. As said, Stan was all him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilduck Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I could definitely hear a backing track during some songs, maybe it was more noticeable at Reading. I wasn't impressed by his set anyway, the snippets of songs were all too short and he wasn't on stage for that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robMUFC96 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 New track, Berzerk. Sounds like the live band may become permanent part of his tour if all of MMLP2 is like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Truise Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I also questioned the older songs such as Just Don't Give A Fuck as his voice was higher pitched like it was when he originally recorded the songs compared to his voice on recent tracks.

kev1664 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Were any of you lot actually there at Leeds. It was clear he was rapping over a backing track. He would pull the mic away from his face and his voice was still clearly audible. There were times when both he and Mr porter didn't have their mics in front of them and there was still ems voice playing! Like someone said earlier it was mostly earlier on in the set, most notably criminal where it sounded pitch perfect straight from the record. I have no doubt he was rapping over a backing track, I just found it a bit shit that he had to. I'd much prefer a couple more music on stage to keep the word that he can't make flowing, at least that way it's live and nobody can have a chance to accuse miming. The three or four songs he did completely on his own were great. The rest was very meh. Shame really coulda been so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calzum Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 i don't see the problem with him rapping over a backing track, he's done it for absolute years, just like a lot of other rappers do, it's just standard practice for a lot of rappers really, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Truise Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 It's a million times better than him miming as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronTheNoiseBoy Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Coming from a sound engineer, there was a blatant difference between his backing track and his own rapping. Yes he may have been rapping and not miming but the backing track was definitely louder than his vocals, there was a whole different dynamic range and tone to his voice when he was rapping alone (only when he wanted to incorporate Reading and Leeds into his rap). The guy is 40, his voice isnt like it used to be. From my point of view, he had his "Hype Man", Mr Porter/Kon Artis on stage with him rapping along to some tracks to add illusion of Eminem solely rapping without a backing track. Throughout the entire set, Mr Porter had no backing track and acted such like a compare (probably wrong spelling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Placid Casual Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 It came up a while ago and the reaction was that is probably bollocks, it's way above what most headliners receive and it would probably bankrupt the festival.

Matt42 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Just listened to the mmlp2, Spoilers for anyone who hasn't heard it yet, but it's his last ever album. Not convinced? Listen to "bad guy" he seems pretty certain that he's done with music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justanothername Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 No. This is a huge misunderstanding. In the canon, Matthew kills Marshall. That's all that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Nope this is after matthew kills marshal "So before you rest your case Better make sure you’re packing a wallop So one last time, I’m back Before it fades into black and it’s all over Behold the final chapter in the saga Trying to recapture that lightning trapped in a bottle Twice the magic that started it all Tragic portrait of an artist tortured Trapped in his own drawings Tap into thoughts Blacker and darker than anything imaginable Here goes a wild stab in the dark As we pick up the last Mathers left off" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouseboy11 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 it's done in a final monlogue, the end of bad guy is really dark and it's meant to be him reading out his will or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
