    Die Alone has really grown on me. I'm still not a fan of the beat and hook (especially the hook) but Eminem's lyrics on this are great. And btw how the h--- is that Kobe on the hook? Sounds like a totally different person.

    This is probably the second best Eminem project since his comeback (after Recovery).

    1. Recovery
    2. Shady XV
    3. H:TS
    4. MMLP2
    5. Relapse
    6. Refill

    I think Die Alone is a 5/10. I like the beat and the hook, but i don't like the lyrics of Em on this and his flow.

    Some really questionable wordplay ("I get bold like bowling balls" sounds like a Recovery pun lmao) and i think his flow is corny.

    If i should rate Shady XV right now:

    • Shady XV 9/10 (I love the lyrics, the sample and how simple the track is. 5 minutes of Em just spitting. Sick)
    • Psycopath Killer 9.5/10 (Everybody killed it on this track, even Crooked which for me is just a "lyrical myracle" boring rapper. The flow of Em on this track is outstanding)
    • Die Alone 5/10 (Like i say before lol)
    • Vegas 10/10 (I don't give a f--- what they got to say, it this the best track of the album. Em cause controversy with this song, which is another reason why i love it. Literally everything on this song is sick)
    • Y'all Ready Know 7.5/10 (A really nice track with a chill beat and great rapping. This nothing special but i really like it)
    • Guts Over Fear 8/10 (The lyrics are pretty good, Sia made a great job with the hook and i like the beat. But i don't like his flow on the first verse. Is for the second verse that this song get an 8/10)
    • Down 4/10 (I don't doubt Yelawolf as a rapper, i think he is great. But this track is whack and forgettable)
    • Bane 2/10 (Well it this some of the worst songs i have ever heard lmao. Autotune, boring wordplay, s-----y beat, and overall, Bizarre. Kuniva and Swift are good rappers but they keep recycling the same flow over and over again)
    • Fine Line 8/10 (I don't like the beat on this one. The lyrics are great, his flow is good and i like the hook, but it could be in my opinion a better track)
    • Twisted 10/10 (The track is almost perfect. Skylar Grey made a great job, and Eminem's singing is fantastic. But i think the most admirable thing is Yelawolf's verse: He killed it. An incredible track)
    • Right For Me 8/10 (I like the beat and his choppy flow on this one, but i can see why people dislike this track. Nothing special but this a pretty good song)
    • Detroit Vs Everybody 8.5/10 (I like the beat and even if Dej Loaf is an awful rapper i think she made a good job with the hook. Royce killed it, Big Sean did a surprising really nice job in his verse with some really clever wordplay, only thing i complain about his verse is that his flow is a little bit boring. Danny Brown was horrible lmao, i'm sorry but i don't even try to f--- with this guy, and Eminem as usual killed it. Notice that Marshall keep using the same rhyme scheme over all his verse, some Legacy level s--- over here, fantastic)
    • Till It's Gone 8.5/10 (Really nice track from Yelawolf. Lyrics are great and the hook is beautiful. I really want to see what Yelawolf is going to do with Love Story)


    Final score: 8/10

    Bane was one of the songs I liked on first listen :kanye3:

    then again i only gave the album like two-three full listens because with how much actual good music is out there, why waste any more of my time :noah2:

    I thought it was Luis Resto on the hook, it heavily samples his song "just so you don't die alone"

    your view is that mmlp2, hts and recovery are "shithouse" too i'm guessing though

    is that even an adjective?
