    the more I listen to Vegas, the more I realize it sounds exactly like a Tech N9ne song

    i thought psychopathic killers and down were great and i liked all the eminem tracks, They all had there own charms.. Solid cd but the second cd of greatest hits was just ok.. The mixtape that came after it with 60 something songs was really good though.. much better variety..

    I can't wait for someone to create a version of Detroit Vs Everybody that has the remix added onto the real one. 21 mins of straight rap

    The mixtape had great variety! If I was the general population and never heard this through leaks it would be an amazing tape! Also Psychopath Killer is an amazing track, just wish Joell or Joe were on it as well.

    I can't remember right now but was the eminem wanksta version ever officially released? That was a cool bonus. Only thing that dissapointed me was the skits. Eminem used to have some funny a--- skits on mixtapes..

    I remember I was so excited when I saw a skit on MMLP2 and it was so disappointing. BRING BACK STEVE BERMAN!

    Detroit vs. everybody was fantastic. Get hyped every time I hear it. Danny Brown only person that drops the ball. Dude needs to learn to enunciate.

    Overall this is a compilation type cd with new stuff. Generally those cd's fail. And the new stuff is great. I wasn't expecting anything like this. 7/10.

    This - It isn't a fantastic album by any means, but for what it is I personally feel I got more than I expected.

    A bit too harsh, but does have valid points in it.

    Have mixed feelings about the cd as far as the Eminem material goes love songs like PK and Fine Line. Wish Die Alone had a different sounding hook and it would of been great to me. Songs like ShadyXV and Right For Me have its moments and lines but in general this cd feels like he didn't put much work into it like he just gave them songs that would never make it on a solo album.

    This album took me by surprise. It's like Em snapped back into the present and he seems to have some of his old wit back. I wasn't expecting much, but honestly I've grown to enjoy the album more and more. Die Alone, Twisted and Fine Line are personal favorites. I dont care how much hate Right For Me gets, lyrically it is INSANE. Wish Ems music was easier to listen to, but f--- it I'm not going to complain over improved lyricism and outside the box flow. Honestly, I think Eminems gotten better album by album since Encore, and this is no exception. I actually anticipate a solo release now.

    Only if he could have you ghost write for him right? Let those raw lyrics that got you like 20 downloads save his career!

    The hook on Die Alone didn't do it for me either, it's play worthy but I'm getting pretty bored of most tracks already, like I said before the second disc should of been full of new material too, buzz would of lasted a bit longer.

    The album is ehh.
    There are some highlights in a few of the songs, but overall it does nothing for me.

    This project honestly made me sad lol..... Not because i thought it was horrible (it's not) but because while some of the songs are ok-good they had so much more potential. Like the self-titled track, I loved the content and approach he went with the song but that beat sounds half done and his delivery is way to fast at times. Psychopath Killer too, Royce and Crooked both deliver solid enough verses and then Em comes in with his ridiculously choppy/robotic delivery that doesn't even flow with beat. Almost every single one of the new tracks could of and should of been better.

    Best track is Right For Me by far tbh.... Em's fast pace delivery actually works on that song oh and that chorus >>>>>>>
