    seriously, though. it took a couple of tries to sit through XV in it's entirety, and I couldn't even name half the songs on the Re Up tracklist without wikipedia.

    Can't see myself ever listening to either album in full again but Re-Up has No Apologies so that.

    I think it was best said earlier: I prefer SHADYXV more, simply because to me it sounds more like an Eminem project featuring his label-mates, rather than an entire album dedicated to showing off his peers like The Re-Up was. The Re-Up obviously had some AMAZING songs, most notably being No Apologies ofc. However, if I'm being honest, I download albums with Eminem's name attached to them for the sole purpose of hearing his verses and judging the quality of his music. I don't give a rat's a--- about Yelawolf or Bobby Creekwater or any other artist riding Shady's coattails. Based off this, and the fact that I enjoy the newest compilation just as much as the former, leads me to give SHADYXV the edge.

    No Apologies is great, but so is the Lose Yourself Demo (both songs were made up of old verses)

    These are two forgettable releases. I guess I prefer The Re-Up overall, because I enjoyed the production more, plus I could actually understand Eminem.

    Shady XV is better lyrically, but holy s---, Eminem is so hard to enjoy listening to anymore.

    Am I the only one who feels like No Apologies is slightly tainted by the third verse? The first two verses were written while Em was still sober and it clearly shows. Anyway, I feel like they're both pretty underwhelming, but I've gotten more enjoyment out of Shady XV.

    I liked Re-Up better cause it had those 3 songs with 50 on them and those songs were great. But Shady XV was probably better
