超级大痞子二部曲 (2013)

The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (also referred to as the MMLP2) is the eighth studio album by the American rapper Eminem. It was released on November 5, 2013, by Shady Records, Goliath Artists, Aftermath Entertainment, WEB Entertainment, and Interscope Records. Eminem's mentor Dr. Dre serves as an executive producer alongside Rick Rubin. The album is a sequel to Eminem's third album, The Marshall Mathers LP, and follows his usual style by featuring guest singers—in this case Rihanna and Nate Ruess—and by using outside producers: S1, Alex da Kid and Rick Rubin.

The idea of a sequel to The Marshall Mathers LP came about after Eminem recorded a handful of songs in the early stages of the creation of the album that reminded him of his earlier music, though Eminem wanted to experiment with "retro, vintage" sounds from turntablism for the sequel. The album draws influences from arena rock and old-school hip-hop, mainly inspired by Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill (1987) and LL Cool J's Radio (1985), while the production is more minimalist than Eminem's previous albums. It was supported by the singles "Berzerk", "Survival", "Rap God", the US number-one hit "The Monster" (featuring Rihanna), and "Headlights" (featuring Nate Ruess), which was released exclusively in Australia.

The Marshall Mathers LP 2 was regarded as one of the most anticipated albums of the year; it sold more than 792,000 copies in its first week in the US as it topped the Billboard 200. In March 2017, it was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album received widely positive reviews, with critics praising Eminem's technical rapping abilities and production choices. It marked an improvement in a reception over Eminem's previous three albums, and was named on multiple best album year-end lists. It won Eminem a record sixth Grammy Award for Best Rap Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards.
