Without Me

Without Me Review

This debut single from Eminem's third album release sees him back at the top spot as this song debuts at #1 in Australia already certified with gold sales. This song is annoyingly addictive. Smart lyrics and greats beats being the major contributing factor and the name Eminem only stirs even more attention to this single.

Tracklisting:
1. Without Me (LP Version - Explicit)
2. The Way I Am (Danny Lohner Remix)
3. Without Me (Instrumental)
4. Without Me (Acappella)
5. Say What I Say (LP Version - Explicit)

A great song, a decent tracklist, a worthwhile purchase. The Opening Salvo from the Mouth's 'eminem Show' Diatribe that Takes off the Gloves with Limp Bizkit, Moby and Chris Kirkpatrick of N Sync. Anyone who Thought the Ravin' Blonde was Mellowing Out Will Soon Be Set Straight Again. Also Includes a Remix of 'the Way I Am' plus the Instrumental and a Cappella Elements.

great remix included - DarkSledge - St. Louis, MO USA
I am a fan of Eminem. I think he is one of the better rappers out there. This first single off of his Eminem Show cd isn't that great. Now Eminem Show is an awesome album but this single is weak. The real gem on this album is the remix of The Way I Am. Danny Lohner, the keyboardest for the touring band of Nine Inch Nails, does an excellent job remixing it. Then you throw in Marilyn Manson, which works amazingly with this song, considering that he probably feels the same way Eminem does. Get this single for the remix.

I think before Devil's Night was released they released this CD. The only reason to buy this is the video cut which you can watch on you computer. Other then that just buy Devil's Night.

The Eminem Show (Clean) [Edited Version]

The Eminem Show (Clean) [Edited Version] Review

See more picture

I know everyone says the Marshall Mathers LP is the best Eminem album to date I tend to defer. Reason why he seems to have more story depth in his lyrics on this album. Because, of his rap superstardom, personal life, and legal troubles on this album than the Marshall Mathers LP album. Instead of talking about drugs, pistols, fags, his mom and, killing people. Em has tracks like "White America" Em raises the curtain to his Eminem show album with vengeance talking about the government and his rise and power to raps mountain top. "Sing For The Moment" and, "Say Goodbye Hollywood" take Marshall raps to a other plateau. Tracks I can listen to while working out, driving, chores, at work and playing Xbox cause of the endless energy Em brings to the mic. All of Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit production is A+ and the beats on this album go perfect with Em's lyrical content.
"Business" Marshall comes in on this track like a missed superhero here to save hip hop from watered down garbage mcees. "Square Dance" is one of my favorite songs on the album Em's flow is second to none other. "Soldier" I know this track carries alot of weight my friend was in the United States Marine Core said this was a favorite in there platoon in Iraq 2002. "Drips" featuring Obie Trice raps about catching STD's from dirty sanks. "Without Me" How boring the rap game is without Eminem involved talking shis. "Superman" Em raps about relationships with some groupie fluzy's. "Hailie's Song" Em raps about life and his daughter im feeling it. "When The Music Stops" nice beat featuring some fresh verses by D-12. "Till I Collapse" has to be one of Em's best songs he rocks the mic featuring Nate Dogg on the hook. 7 and a half years later and im still playing it thanks Em. Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills or his potential for raw yet compelling honesty are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec produced by longtime mentor and partner Dr. Dre), "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry, and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half/ I could be one of your kids/ Little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem's well-noted use of sexual epithets, this kind of material is made more controversial because it actually rings true. From a brutal retort to his long-estranged and equally troubled mother ("Cleaning Out My Closets") to a surprisingly tender ode to his child ("Hailie's Song"), Eminem examines his life, loves, arrests, addictions, failures, and successes with surprising insight, making this a funk-drenched hip-hop confessional well worth the hype. --Amy Linden

eminem is a hack and a disgrace to hip-hop - J. Lacayo -
anyone claiming this man to be the best mc ever, has to be a suburban moron. all the years this garbage has been out and i haven't met one person that listens to eminem. NO ONE. the only people that listen to eminem are white boys from the suburbs. yeah, keep telling yourself that he's the best. real urban folks are bumping ghostface, the jacker, and their local underground mc's, not this phony. who cares if you'll beat fred durst' ass or if you dis britany spears? this guy is a hack and signifies the end of real hip-hop in my eyes. as soon as this guy came out all rap went down hill, i know a ton of mc's from my neighborhood that would eat this hack alive. you wanna hear a white mc with heart and skill and GOOD SUBJECT MATTER PEEP EL-P OR COMPANY FLOW. the greatest mc ever, HA! you disgrace 2pac, rakim, krs one, kool g rap, nas, canibus, wu-tang, heiroglyphics, ice cube, all the true greats who would take a dump on this sucker any day. no one i know bumps eminem, NO ONE IN ALL MY LIFE BECAUSE HE'S WACK!! i got a ride home one time from these 40 year old white guys who were customers at my job and only they bumped eminem. I WAS LAUGHING!! STUPID WHITE GUYS THINK THEY'RE HIP AND COOL NOW!lol buch of losers. wu-tang forever suckers.


Eminem At His Most Intelligent - Tyler S. - Brentwood, CA United States
I would argue that this album has the most complicated rap poetry from Eminem, in comparison to all his other albums. He sticks to the subject and weaves intense rhymes with strong structure. Encore and Relapse are less composed and more "spit out", while the "Eminem Show" feels like it has been scripted and perfected for years. As with all Eminem albums, The Show contains some instant classics. For some people, theres more classics on this album because he takes his talent a little more seriously and puts out some heartfelt songs like "Hailie's Song" and "Cleanin Out My Closet." My favorite Eminem songs are the ones where he has a lot of fun and goes a little crazy. Since theres a little bit of a lack of that in this album, it's not my favorite, but I still go back and listen to some of my favorite songs.

Favorite Tracks: "Business", "Square Dance", "Say Goodbye Hollywood", definately "Without Me" and "Sing for the Moment." All these tracks are Slim flowing at his finest, with the best production the cd has to offer. That being said, I felt like the beat aspect on this album was a little dissapointing, but it didn't fail to deliver on my favorite tracks.

I will say that "The Eminem Show" is a great mixed bag for all types of people who like Eminem for different reasons. "Superman" appeals to a lot of women as well as men. "Soldier" and "Till I Collapse" are great for people who get motivation from music. So as you can see this album is a great sampler for Eminem, because everyone can connect with it in some way. I happened to like "Encore" and "Relapse" more, but "The Eminem Show" feels more orchestrated.

Relapse

Relapse Review

See more picture

This album is genius. Previously, my favorite album was the Slim Shady LP. It still may be tied, but this album is amazing. In stay wide away, the rhymes he does just seem impossible to even immitate. I can understand people thinking the "voice" gets annoying, but his lyrics make up for it. I'm not really into the serial killer stuff, but the way he delivers is like no other. I don't really like we made you, crack a bottle, the singles. but w/e, the rest is great. Make sure to also pick up the screwed and chopped version. The only reason I don't think this is perfect is because of the singles and that it doesn't include "my darling" and "be careful what you wish for". But, the average rating is 4, so I'll give it five stars to average it out at 4.5 like it deserves. 2009 album from one of the most successful Rap artists in history. He's sold more albums than most Rock and Pop superstars. He's a Grammy winner. He's an Oscar winner. He's been on the cover of practically every music magazine since his debut album dropped in 1999. Now, 10 years after The Slim Shady LP, Eminem marks his 10th anniversary as a Hip Hop hurricane with Relapse, yet another skillful collaboration with Dr. Dre. Features the single 'Crack A Bottle' (which features Dre and 50 Cent).

Relapse: One crazy trip - Walter J. Fields - Philly
When I first heard this album I HATED it, as a longtime fan of Eminem I felt cheated. Yet another CD full of rapping in the voice of Triumph the Talking Dog, in nonsensical lyrics over wasted, hot production. I didn't listen to it again for about a year, then one day I put it on and got it. The CD is a metaphorical account of Eminem relapsing immediately after leaving rehab, getting so high he eventually blacks-out and is found in a coma...sobers up and prepares for his road to "Recovery." This is a good album, full of insane yet interesting images in story telling. My favorite song is Same Song & Dance, which is bizarre (especially the preceding skit) but displays Eminem's amazing talent for writing and ability to flow to any beat.

ok - A. Yang -
it didn't meet my expectations, but it was ok. i've heard better songs from eminem

8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture

8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture Review

See more picture

Back when I was still determining what music genre to call my own I developed an interest in rap. After a while I got my first real rap album, 8 Mile. It still remains one of my favourite albums. Every song (excluding 2, you'll know which ones I'm talking about) has been burnt in my memory. I'll break it down for you...

1. LOSE YOURSELF-Eminem: (5/5)- What better way to start an album than with the first rap song to win the Academy Award for Best Song. This is, without a doubt, one of Eminem's best ever, and don't forget that he produced it too. This will always be a rap classic, need I say more?

2. LOVE ME-Eminem ft. Obie Trice & 50 Cent: (4.5/5)- Maybe it doesn't sport the best content, but I can't get enough of this one. Em's production is excellent, the light vocal chorus contrasts very well with the hard rap. All three artists are hungry and they deliver well.

3. 8 MILE-Eminem: (4/5)- Another good production by Eminem, at 6:00 minutes it's a little long, but recreates that dirty Detroit street feeling from the movie.

4. ADRENALINE RUSH-Obie Trice: (4/5)- Obie definitely captures your attention with this one, nowhere else will you here muthaf***** spit so many times in one chorus. Perhaps the most over-the-top on this album, but I love it.

5. PLACES TO GO-50 Cent: (4/5)- Now that we're well acquainted with Trice, it's 50's turn to introduce himself. This is a good one, especially considering it's 50 Cent. He doesn't sound bored in this one, and it's yet another great production from Eminem.


6. RAP GAME-D12: (4.5/5)- This one sports all six members of D12, with a dope chorus from 50 Cent and chilling joint-production between Eminem and Denaun Porter (Kon Artis). This is D12's hip-hop 101, and the raps compliment the music well.

7. 8 MILES AND RUNNIN'-Jay-Z ft. Freeway: (3.5/5)- Good production by Eminem. Less then spectacular performance by Jay-Z and Freeway but not bad by no means. Jay-Z reflects on his career and Freeway's getting his started, which was what 8 Mile was about.

8. SPIT SHINE-Xzibit: (4/5)- Solid performance by X to the Z with solid production from Porter. Xzibit takes a chance to reflect on his rap career as well and provide some advice for others.

9. TIME OF MY LIFE-Macy Gray: (0.5/5)- I have no idea why this is here, other than it adds to the theme of the album as a whole. Basically, you'll listen to is once, ask "why's that on there?" and never listen to it again.

10. U WANNA BE ME-Nas: (3.5/5)- I'm impressed that Nas is on here, but this diss track is definitely not his best work. However, still a good song produced by Nas.

11. WANKSTA-50 Cent: (3.5/5)- Nice one mixed by Dr. Dre. 50 Cent is already picking fights with Ja Rule, I agree with 50, Ja is a wanksta.

12. WASTING MY TIME-Boomkat: (0.5/5)- Well...it lives up to its name. I just pretend this was never here, when you copy the CD on your computer you can just leave this and Gray's out and you'll forget it was even there. This album still holds very strong with 14 tracks.

13. R.A.K.I.M.-Rakim: (4.5/5)- It's an honour to have Rakim on this album since he influenced rap so greatly. Ra takes this chance to put down what he stands for, and certainly takes advantage of the rock hard beat produced by Denaun Porter and mixed by Dr. Dre.

14. THAT'S MY N**** FO' REAL-Young Zee: (3/5)- Probably the weakest track on here (pretending that it's a 14 track CD), it uses a nice collaboration of guitars, but Young Zee isn't trying hard enough. It's still not bad, but had Zee done better, he might at least have an album by now.

15. BATTLE-Gang Starr: (4/5)- Another one of the hip-hop icon appearances that make this album a classic. Battles were also a big part of 8 Mile. This track uses heavy base coupled with record scratching and in-your-face raps that make this another solid track.

16. RABBIT RUN-Eminem: (5/5)- A 3:12 minute song with no chorus, so what makes this a five star track? Eminem is simply UNLEASHED on this one! It's as if he's focusing all his frustration and pent up rage and vents it all in these precious 3 minutes. Aided by an ominous Eminem production with a slight clock ticking in the background, you can feel all of the raw emotion in this song that is hard to find anywhere else.

So there you have it. If you want a tight collaboration of new and old school artists, this is the album for you. The only thing that could improve this album would be to get rid of the 2 degenerate songs and get a couple tracks by Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Notorious Big or DMX. But lets not get greedy, for .88 I find it impressive enough that Em assembled Xzibit, Nas, Gang Starr, Rakim and introduced us to Obie Trice & 50 Cent.

I hope you found this review helpful. How Eminem was able to assemble so many credible emcees of today and yesteryear (Jay-Z, Rakim) to endorse his Holly'hood coming out party is anyone's guess. What is clear, however, is that (dare we say it) the Shady One might be growing up. On "Lose Yourself" Em abandons his callous, hardcore posturing to write thoughtful hood-centric coming-of-age lyrics that would make Melle Mel proud. On "Battle," Gang Starr's Guru tears through a sick beat from rap's most prolific producer, DJ Premier. Sadly, Nas wastes more valuable studio time dissing Jay-Z (ho hum) on "You Wanna Be Me." Interestingly, once you get past the living-legend love-in and peep the skills from Em's lesser-known Shady Records roster of underground wordsmiths, such as 50 Cent ("Wanksta") or Obie Trice ("Adrenaline Rush"), you might urge Em to consider giving up his thespian pursuits to become a full-time record executive. Not even the baffling inclusion of Macy Gray's humdrum "Time of Your Life" can sink this project. --Dalton Higgins
