This is Eminem's "revisiting" of some of the themes that fuelled his original Marshall Mathers LP and is NOT a sequel to The Marshall Mathers LP.
That being said, this album is definitely different than the original MMLP. These LP's have the rhymes of a more mature, sober man who, despite a strong (and occasionally construed as controversial) image maintained on this album, is finally settling some scores and apologizing for people he hurt on his rise to the top.
