Lose Yourself

Lose Yourself Review

See more picture

I dig the song. It didn't change my world, but it captures the passion of experience, and the off-kilter rhythm in the chorus is pretty darn cool.

I do have to wonder about any reviewer who would call this "absolutely fantastic, great beat, fantastic lyrics and good flow," and then subtract stars due to its being overplayed. Why yes, Clear Channel *is* a blight upon humanity. Welcome to the 21st century. Why doesn't he take out his frustration upon the corporate entities who deserve it, rather than upon the artist and "poser fans" who are (needless to say) less hardcore than him? I don't know, but 5 out of 5 reviewers found his comments helpful, and Eminem may get a few more good "Stan"-like songs out of the situation.

Not to say that Eminem isn't something a corporate entity in and of himself, whose employers push his music without restraint or apology. That's a given. If you want to rail against the system that floods our airwaves with redundancy, I'll be right there with you. But don't call something a "beautiful song" and then tell me how it was "ruined" by people who are neither the artist or you. As far as I'm concerned, that's a basic misreading of the artist-fan relationship. Like the song or don't like the song. Who else does or doesn't like the song, and how often the song is played, really shouldn't matter. Right? The first single to be lifted from the '8 Mile' soundtrack. The album version is backed with three non-LP tracks, 'Lose Yourself' (Instrumental Version), 'Renegade' feat. Jay-Z, 'Lose Yourself' (video-enhanced section), & the trailer for '8 Mile'. Interscope. 2002.

Have Trouble Motivating Yourself??? Listen to This! - Joel - New York, NY USA
YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT. This is the secret of life. When you listen to this masterpiece, you hear the message of a young genius, born into poverty, who kept that secret in his mind and did not let anyone stop his methodical march to the top of the pop charts. I listen to this song, and it gives me the chills, because it tells the story of his life, and tells me to keep my focus, and keep on my march while the world is telling me "it can't be done." This song transcends the boundaries of pop, rap, poetry and words -- it is a slap in the back of the head that tells you to STOP WHINING AND FACE REALITY, while keeping the secret of life front and center in your mind. I defy you to not try harder to succeed after listening to this song. PARENTS: Forget the parental warnings! This is a "MUST LISTEN" for your kids!

The Eminem Show

The Eminem Show Review

See more picture

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. 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

Beware - MP3 Download is the Clean Version - Kristian Perry - Washington, DC United States
I used to own the actual CD of this album, and it is brilliant. Eminem has really creative grooves, and his lyrics and delivery are outstanding.

But the download is the clean version. Not that I crave curse words, but when you are listening to Eminem, "bad words" are kinda frequent and he uses them to great effect. The constant "scratches" to cover the words is just distracting, and interrupts the groove.

On a more philosophical note, shouldn't the product you order be the uncut product be default? The clean, censored, or otherwise altered product should be labeled as such. You shouldn't have to hunt for the "Explicit Lyrics" version. I love Amazon, but that annoys me.

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.

Stan / Get You Mad / My Name Is

Stan / Get You Mad / My Name Is Review

See more picture

I don't like Eminem. His beliefs are outdated and the bulk of his songs have no merit. I'm not a rap fan to begin with, but when I first heard "Stan" on the radio, I had to rethink that credo. The single samples Dido's "thank you" as the chorus. Em raps about obsessive fans with gut-wrenching alacrity. Whether you like him or not, the single is hard to ignore. The video, which is included on the single, is worth paying the import price. He has a knack to drum up contreversy, but this time, the topic of contreversy has universal merit. hopefully, a record of the year grammy nod could be in the future. UK edition of the third single off 'The Marshal Mathers LP'. Featuring a sample off Dido's hit album, 'No Angel'. Tracks, 'Stan' (LP Version), Sway & King Tech-'Get You Mad' (feat. DJ Revolution w/Eminem) (non-LP) and two tracks not included on the German, 'My Name Is' (Explicit Version) and the CD-ROM video for the title track. Slimline jewel case. 2000 release.

A disturbing look at how obsessed one person can get. - Sam Barnes - Woodbridge, VA United States
I am not a huge fan of Eminem at all,but this song is one song by him that I find to be very well done.The song shows that Eminem actually has some talent.The song is a look at how obsessed one person can get over one person.The song was well done.Dido's voice is perfect for the song.Unlike most of Eminem's music this song is orginal,well written,and well produced.Good job to Eminem for recording one amazing song.

I hate Em. I like this song. Why? Read below. - Gift Card Recipient - Philadelphia, PA
1. Eminem kills noone in this song. 2. No irrating Em-rap chrouses. 3. Phil reference. Phil is not attacked nor killed nor dissed nor in a realtionship with Fred Durst or Chrsitina Aguilera ;). That's a first for our friend Marshall. 4. The style of writing is kinda cool, how Em changes his voice for "Stan" and for himself. 5. Dido is awesome!! Go Dido! 6. I dig the sound effects. 7. This song wasn't overplayed... so... pay for this single if you must have an Em thingy.

Relapse: Refill Review

One of or THE best rapper(s) of all time, at least one of the best artists in the past 10 years.

A Few tracks stand out, but it's obvious this is NOT his best work.

Regardless, I will support him in everything he does, if you were to pick 1 CD not to buy of Em; this is it.

Good overall, but lacking his origanal awesomeness. EMINEM - RELAPSE: REFILL



SUPERSTAR HIP-HOP ARTIST RELEASES HIS CHART-TOPPING ALBUM RELAPSE WITH FIVE UNRELEASED TRACKS TO TIDE FANS OVER TILL RELAPSE 2

Multi-platinum hip-hop artist Eminem will release Relapse: Refill on December 21ST, 2009, on Aftermath/Interscope Records. This re-release of Eminem's chart-topping fifth studio album includes seven bonus tracks, including the single "Forever", also featuring Drake, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne (previously found on the More Than A Game soundtrack), "Taking My Ball" (also released only with the DJ Hero video game), and five never-before-heard tracks.



"I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned" Eminem says. "Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year". Eminem has been busy in the studio creating even more new material since Relapse was released. "I got back in with Dre and then a few more producers, including Just Blaze, and went in a completely different direction which made me start from scratch. The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on Relapse 2, but I still want the other stuff to be heard." 



One of the most anticipated albums of the year, the platinum-selling Relapse entered the Billboard Top 200 album chart at No. 1 in May 2009 and sold more than 618,000 domestic copies in the U.S. in its first week. Relapse is also the top selling hip-hop album of 2009.

Buy the album AGAIN so I can get 7 more songs??? - Raymond Martin - Houston, TX USA
My star rating has nothing to do with the quality of the music on this record. It is reflective of the fact that fans who already purchased Relapse were forced to purchase the same album again if they wanted the extra 7 songs. Eminem said that he released this record so that the fans didn't have to wait for his new stuff. So, why not make an EP available for those fans who already bought Relapse in May? How dedicated are the fans that waited until December to buy it??? I know you can buy the MP3s but I prefer to buy the disc. The fact of the matter is that this album was released not for the fans but for the $$$.

This listing is for a brand new MONSTER HITS Volume #47 MALE POP HITS Compilation Karaoke CD&G CD from the MONSTER HITS collection (MH-1047). This factory manufactured CD comes sealed in a heavy duty plastic jewel case, plays the music without the lead vocals and displays the lyrics on a Karaoke CD&G player. These very good quality songs are professionally reproduced by studio musicians and are not performed by the original artist. I have been doing Karaoke shows for several years and in my opinion, the musical quality of these CD's is comparable to Sound Choice, DK, Chartbuster or any of the other High End Karaoke CD's on the market! These Disks usually retail between and each but my supplier closed up shop and I got a good deal on them so I'm passing on the savings to my customers. Unfortunately, when they sell out, they are GONE so check out these Great Quality CD's and take advantage of my combined shipping deal before they are gone for good!

Street Wars Volume 7 Review

As the war been Shady/Aftermath and Murder Inc. rages on, DJ P-Cutta continues to recap the battles in mixtape form. The seventh time around, there's no love lost between the two record labels, as Ja Rule disses everyone from 50 Cent to Eminem, from Dr. Dre to Busta Rhymes and causing a must hear strike-back record from 50, Em and Busta entitled "Hail Mary." This mixtape also features diss records from Jay-Z, Scarface, and UGK, as once again, P-Cutta continues to provide the forum for rappers to get animosity of their chests. Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown trade venomous blows, and D-12 and Royce Da 5'9" have at it on another classic mixtape from the Maryland mixtape titan.

"I ain't never see an ass like that" - Well, BLEEP You Too - A Southern Californian Forced into Washinton state
And Eminem, You still haven't. You said you Liked Jessica Simpson's Ass. HELLO! She doesn't have one with her size zero figure. I bet Jessica Simpson buys her clothes at Kids R Us. And what is up with him asking Gwen Stefani to pee-pee on him? "So Gwen Stefani, will you pee-pee on me?" I doubt that she will. If you want someone to pee-pee on you, Eminem, try R. Kelly. "Ass Like That" has got to be one of Eminem's worst songs.

Eminem Presents the Re-Up (Clean)

Eminem Presents the Re-Up (Clean) Review

See more picture

Great album with great hit but a few aren't so good. Editing Fine (in Jimmy Crack Corn, lets in S*** but only twice. It does not sound like S*** so it does not matter). Here's what I think about the songs.

Shady Narcotics : nothing to say really, just an intro.

We're Back : 9/10 : Great Song

Pistol Pistol : 8/10 : Has good music

Murder : 6/10 : could of been better but Bizzare does not have a good rapping voice.

Everything is Shady : 5/10 : Just not a good song.

The Re-Up : 10 : Cool Beat

You Don't Know : 10 : Another great song.

Jimmy Crack Corn : 7/10 : A Pointless Song.

The rest are not good until you get to By My Side.

By My Side : 10 : Well Done Stat Quo.

The rest isn't good until you get to smack that (Remix).

Smack That (Remix) : 9/10 : Great new Lyrics.

Public Enimy #1 : 8/10 : Pointlessly Good

The rest isn't good until you get to Shake That (Remix)

Shake That (Remix) : 10/10 : Bobby Creekwater did well in the 1st verse.

Cry Now : 8/10 : Good Song

No Appoligies : 10/10 : AMAZING, Great slow and steady beat.

GET THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edited version is not too sensitive which is good.


Eminem Presents: The Re-Up (Shady Records/Interscope Records), began as a street mixtape project--an underground, unofficial CD with raw production values--designed to help launch new Shady Records artists Stat Quo, Ca$his and Bobby Creekwater. "But what happened is that the material was so good and the tracks were getting produced like a regular album," said Eminem. "Instead of putting it out there rough and unfinished, I thought we should add some other new tracks, make it a real album, and put it in the record stores to give these new artists a real boost." The album was executive produced by Eminem, who also produced the majority of the songs. A handful of selections were produced by The Alchemist, who also compiled the album in true mixtape fashion. The Alchemist is best known for his work with Cypress Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Mobb Deep, and Jadakiss.

Each of the tracks makes its official CD debut on Eminem Presents: The Re-Up, though Stat Quo's "Billion Bucks," and Obie Trice's "Cry Now" (Remix), produced by LT Moe, was recently released on mixtapes and to radio. The first single and video will be "You Don't Know" from Eminem, 50 Cent, Ca$his and Lloyd Banks. With Eminem and Ca$his from the Shady camp and 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks from G-Unit, the rap illustrates the unity of the two organizations.

The Re-Up also gave acclaimed hip-hop producer The Alchemist a chance to work with Shady's new regime. After joining forces on-stage as Eminem's DJ on last year's Anger Management 3 tour, Alchemist and the Shady camp began collaborating in the studio. This new album features the results of this anticipated collaboration with new tracks produced by The Alchemist featuring Stat Quo, Ca$his, Bobby Creekwater and Obie Trice.

Among the album's other recordings are "No Apologies" from Eminem; "Talkin' All That" from Ca$his; "City Of Gold" from Bobby Creekwater; "Murder" from Bizarre and Kuniva (both of D12); and The "Smack That (Remix)" with Akon.

Stat Quo, hailing from Atlanta, was signed to a joint deal between Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment after Eminem and Dre heard him on the Underground Atlanta mixtape series. Creekwater, also from Atlanta, was inked after Eminem heard his work on demos and in the studio with The Alchemist. Ca$his, a Chicago native transplanted in his youth to Orange Co., California, was a member of West Coast underground favorites The Renegadez.

Rampant misinformation about Eminem Presents: The Re-Up included many false internet tracklistings and that the mixtape would be a tribute to D12's Proof, the recently slain rapper and close friend of Eminem. "The D12 album and those unreleased songs with Proof are coming," said Eminem. "But The Re-Up is about these new artists and these new songs. It isn't fair to them or to the memory of Proof to mix them up."
