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. This limited-edition, enhanced version delivers via computer a movie trailer, behind-the-scenes footage from the film, videos, album snippets, freestyles, and artist messages. --Dalton Higgins

Product Description

Infinite represents Eminem the way he was in his younger years: a young man in search of true love as the song « Searchin» fully reveals it. A young man facing a lot of financial problems and trying to feed his family. When you have been yourself through similar difficulties, you will be able to relate to songs like « Its ok ». 313 gives us the taste of a « sweet emcee from the 313 ». « Maxine » also belongs to the well written songs of the album. Marshalls sincerity all over Infinite is so touching. But it seems that it wasnt enough. Despite the huge efforts, he had put into his album, people reproached him to sound like Nas. The public wanted something else, something biting that Eminem gave them with the Slim Shady EP and the Slim Shady LP. Although people wont unanimously agree on Infinite, Id advice any true Eminem fan to check the album if he hasnt done it yet- at least for the great lyrics written by Marshall Mathers.

Realy good lyrics........2007-06-01

But the production blends in with typical early to mid 90s music as far as beats go. As far as lyrics, i believe Em is on Nas' Illmatic level back then. The only reason i gave this a low rating is becaause D-12 pops up and ruins every track the talk on. D-12 should not be allowed to rap except for Bizarre.

The Essence of Hip-Hop - - D-E-S-E-R-V-E-S E-V-E-R-Y S-T-A-R.......2007-03-28

I'd like to start off my review by saying that i consider Marshall Mathers part of an elite though very select few of pure, conscious l-y-r-c-i-s-t-s. These include Eyedea, Gift of Gab (1/2 of Blackalicious), Jeru tha Damaja, AZ, Big L, Big Pun, Common Sense (in his early days), KRS-One, CL Smooth, Black Thought, all iS mineS, one.be.lo. and also the whole Hieroglyphics empire.

That said, the overall vibe of this album has an undeniable old school quality to it, even though it was released in '96. The beats are infectious and sound fresh even to this day, and eminem actually had something to say. He was hungry, relied on clever wordplay and worthwhile stories that not only reflected his life at the time, but also portrayed every day happenings that he had probably grown accustomed to seeing.

"Maxine" is about how a prostitute will lie & leave you with disease if you're dumb enough to believe she's clean. Some nice production here.

"Never 2 Far" portrays eminems ambitions to make money in the rap industry. The difference between him and other rappers is that he comes correct with clever wordplay and flow, and each verse eases nicely into the chorus, to the point where you don't even realize his technique of merging the two.

"Searchin" continues this idea except this time he's pouring out emotions as well as his lust for a lost love. Again undeniably sick wordplay and flow, with a guest appearance from a friend.

"Infinite", perhaps the strongest track on the album is also one of the sickest instances of pure lyrical destruction that i've ever heard. Not a lyric is wasted throughout, and every line effortlessly connects to the next. ("My rhymin' skills got you climbin' hills, i travel through your mind into your spine like siren drills."). This is hip-hop that actually requires thinking to understand everything he's saying, and when you do it's a real eye opener.

"Open Mic" flosses a sick beat and funny intro, and eminem rips the beat to sh*t. It's a toss up between this and "Infinite" for best track on the album. ("You couldn't flip shit playin' in toilets with a spatula.")

"It's Ok" must be heard to believe. His style is so natural you'd think he was somehow cheating. Again the wordplay is unmatched by today's "standards" of what a hip-hop song should entail.

A inevitable gripe with this album that most heads will notice is Eminems questionable approach to riding the beat. At times he certainly seems off if you listen closely, yet he also seems right on because of the way he flows in and out of the chorus, with an uncanny ear for the smallest nuances of the beat.

Bottom line: it's shocking that few people have heard this album. This was undoubtedly a different side of Eminem, when few people knew about him and his rage hadn't come out yet. If you're a hip-hop head you will probably appreciate this album for what it is, Beats, Rhymes and Storytelling ability.

The rhymes absolutely blow my mind on this album........2007-02-26

A Lot of Eminem fans don't like this album because it's none of that Slim Shady stuff.If you sit down and study this album properly and study what it's about you will like this album. On this CD Eminem talks about his struggles and how he feels he can make it, and tracks like it's okay and Never 2 Far explain that. However Eminem displays some dope skillz on this album with perfect lyrical flow over laidback beats and some hot punchlines to get you hyped up and those skillz are displayed on tracks like Infinite, 313, Tonite and open mic. My favourite tracks on this album are Never 2 Far, which talks about how confident you have to be in order to make it, no matter if you're broke or not it is still possible to be very successful in the future, Searchin is another good tune on the album about how he finally found someone to be in a good relationship with, Backstabber a funny but very lyrical song about a backstabber that eveyone should stay away from, Jealeasy woes is another one talking about how he feels his girlfriend left him because shes jealous of him especially that he spends all his money buying her fancy gifts and she keeps giving them to him acting like she don't like the gifts. So there you go if your an Eminem fan or a fan of real Hip Hop then download this album since it isn't in stores.

His best album. I seriously mean that........2007-02-24

When we turn up a track to hear Eminem "Slim Shady", we hear someone who seem bitter and sometimes outraged. Some of Eminem's songs from the Slim Shady album and on are good but in my opinion he seems to be whining a lot. Wait, wait don't get me wrong he can flow well and he has some good lyrics there is no doubt about that but "Infinite" offers something different. I listen to his tracks on this album and I feel he is being completely real. All this was before his fame and fortune... The introductory track, Infinite, will blow your socks off! His flows on this track are better than anything else I have heard by him and shows off his raw talent. On the song "It's OK" he talks about his struggles with having child, financial problems, issues with family etc. Normally he would complain about all of it and talk about putting his "baby mama in a hatchback and latched it" (Quote from the "Last Hit" from High & Mighty). Instead, he says everything is going to be OK and all right. He knows he will make it through... It is too bad the public passed up this album. In '96 they wanted something different from Eminem and that is when he developed the nemesis "Slim Shady". His character on this album is completely different and in my opinion "real". Characters on 8 Mile actually are real... He has Dj Butterfingers cutting the beats on this album along with the rest of 313. I talk to some Eminem fans and they say they know all of his songs and albums. I ask them about this one and they have no clue what I am talking about. I am telling you, if you are a true fan pick up this album and get it fast because you can't find this in stores... This is going to be a one-of-a-kind album by Eminem and he will never make anything like this again.

I found my copy in a used record shop. I have all of Eminem's albums except this one and I knew I'd never find it again, so I went ahead and bought it. the best songs are Tonite and Jealousy Woes II.

Great CD.......2007-01-12

Another GREAT CD by Eminem, a must have if you like his music.

A Collection of Excellent Rap.......2006-08-25

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 $13.88 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.

8 Mile.......2006-07-12

Seeing I am a big fan of Eminem I had to get this soundtrack. It has the new single Lose Yourself and other songs by Eminem + lots of others by other artists. It has the song "8 Mile" the movie title and "Rabbit Run" a great lyrical song. Only two of these songs (Lose Yourself and 8 Mile) were actually played in the movie but the rest of them were good to make up a whole album of good rap material. You should also get "More Music From 8 Mile" which has all the songs played in the film, with songs by 2pac, Mobb Deep, Notorious BIG, Outkast, Naughty By Nature and more all pretty good. On the soundtrack Lose Yourself would have to be my favourite song. Lose Yourself is actually one of my favourite of all Eminem songs with great lyrical verses etc. However i'm also a fan of 50 Cent and D12 so their songs I am a fan of aswell. Good Eminem

The Unsinkable Eminem.......2006-05-02

Eminem has proven once again that he is unsinkable. With a brilliant ensamble here he also has proven to be a suitable producer as well, boasting a label with talent like 50 Cent and Obie Trice, both of which have blown up now, but at the time of this release they were small potatoes. The album track list reads like a whos who of the best in the rap industry, everyone from Nas to Jay-Z to Xzibit, all of whom lay down decent tracks, but the shining star is none other than Slim Shady himself, with more than a few killer cuts like the blistering anthem 'Lose Yourself' which stands alone as Shady's most glorious moment. D-12, the Dirty Dozen who up until now have ceased to impress me actually hold there own on 'Rap Game' while 50 serves up a luke-warm track dissing none other than Ja-Rule on 'Wanksta' but he makes good for it with 'Places to Go' while Obie Trice stands out on 'Adrenaline Rush' and makes it obvious why he's been signed to Em's label. I do want to point out that while I don't know why Macy Gray was included on the roster, to answer a question from one reviewer, Boomkat is here because the lead singer Taryn Manning was in the film and as a favor to help boost her career Eminem gave her a track...that's why she's here, although she doesn't quite fit the bill. The best track here is the closing track 'Rabbit Run' where Eminem freestyles a track with no hook, just straight in you face 'look at me now' type lyrics that grab the listener and let them know what this album, what this movie and what Eminem, the man, is all about. Great album and great boost for the unsinkable Eminem!

Eminem - 8 Mile Soundtrack.......2006-04-16

A good soundtrack put together by Eminem. All great songs, except the ones with 50 Cent, :-). Since this has to do with D-12, I'd like to give a R.I.P to Proof, youll always be remembered. If you liked the movie 8 Mile, then I know for sure that youll like this sound track. Songs by Eminem, 50 Cent, Obie Trice, Gang Starr, Nas, D-12 etc. You cant go wrong with it. There is a few weak tracks and ill explain which ones those are. But this cd is definately worth 4 stars, just not 5. "Time Of Your Life" and "Wasting My Time" shouldnt have been on there, because they do not go along with the soundtrack AT ALL, but all good. Check this joint out!!

My Top 5 Songs
1.8 Mile
2.Rap Game (R.I.P Proof!)
3.You Wanna Be Me
4.R.A.K.I.M (Insane beat)
5.Battle (Hott beat also)

It's no surprise that More Music from 8 Mile is a great soundtrack collection. Eminem's semi-autobiographical big-screen debut takes place in the mid-1990s, a time when a considerably diverse group of MCs kept rap fresh with intellectually engaging party music. These jams rocked the party back when Em's Detroit hip-hop scene was nothing more than a basement cipher circle. A lot's changed since then, but every single selection on More Music withstands the test of time. The intro to Mobb Deep's thug anthem, "Shook Ones Part II," still sends chills down the spine, and Biggie's opening verse on "Get Money" proves why he may be the greatest rapper of all time. One minor quibble: it would've been nice if some of the more obvious tracks were substituted by less popular tunes--say, Outkast's "Crumblin' Erb" for "Player's Ball" and Pharcyde's "Soul Flower" remix (never released as a single) instead of their 1995 hit, "Runnin." --Rebecca Levine

excellant cd,great songs all very good but when eminem talks to alex, outside the chin tiki whilst sitting on a car what music is in the background?i really need to know so if ne1 cud help thanx

Some great 90's rap.......2006-05-16

In the early to mid 90's while I was still in the single digits I was heavy into rap & r&b and this album is a great throwback to the music scene I was into. Sporting some great rap anthums by the likes of BIG, Tupac & Naughty by Nature, this 'more music from' album really delivers the goods. The music featured here are all tracks that here hot back in the day, the time period this film hails from. This is the best of the 90'd rap scene including opening and closing tracks by Mobb Deep and some classic tracks by Method Man (the greatest rapper alive) and the rest of Wu Tang including ODB. My inly regret is that there aren't more tracks...and as was stated by other reveiwers, there are about 6 key tracks played in the film that are not here...but then again, licensing is so crazy that getting the rights to use certain tracks can be downright impossible at times. Even though, this is still one classic album and a must own for any fan of the hip-hop genre.

The Real Soundtrack From 8 Mile.......2006-01-05

This CD contains all the actual tracks off of the movie. This one contains all the classic rap from the year 8 Mile takes place, 1995. Includes "Shook Ones" by Mobb Deep, "C.R.E.A.M." by Wu Tang Clan, and "Feel Me Flow" by Naughty By Nature. This soundtrack is better than the original. Even with the exception of Eminem not being on here who happens to be my favorite rapper. But this soundtrack is awesome. Buy it if you enjoyed the movie. There's a big problem though, 9 tracks are missing (The other 6 are in the kids review):

Junior Mafia - Player's Anthem
Montell Jordan - This Is How We Do It
Notorious B.I.G. - Unbelievable

So, if you want EVERYTHING you'll have to download it like I did (sorry!). I loved the movie and wanted all the music from the movie. I was wondering how come all of it wasn't on the original soundtrack. But now I see why, to make another soundtrack that's even better. Once again, if you loved the music from the movie, buy this now. Btw, the reason I didn't download it until now is because one of my friends said it wasn't as good as the original. He needs to get his ears checked, because this album blows the orginal out of the water. Don't get me wrong, the orginal is awesome, but this one is superior.

Btw, if you didn't notice, I'm rating the movie soundtrack, NOT the CD. The CD gets about 3 stars due to all the removed tracks.

Hip Hop Greatest Hits or 8mile Soundtrack?.......2006-01-05

This CD contains all the classic hip hop songs.. To put it bluntly, its IMPOSSIBLE to be disappointed with this CD. They got Shook Ones pt.II (in my opinion, the greatest dark rap song ever) and Survival of the Fittest from the Mobb. Juicy From Biggie,C.R.E.A.M from the Wu, Runnin from Pharcyde, and many others. EVERY track on this CD is 10+ in my book. All they needed on this CD was Onyx - Last Dayz and it would have been complete, but I'm not complainin, its still amazing.

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.......2005-11-16

This is the real soundtrack to 8 Mile. The first one they released has good songs, dont get me wrong, but with the exception of "Lose Yourself" and a little remix of "8 Mile Road" theyre not from the movie. This should have been released as the soundtrack. But anyways this album is sick. I would like those songs from the battles but its all good. From Biggie to Pac to Meth to Ol Dirty to Outkast. And let's not forget the unforgettable opening track, "Shook Ones Pt. II." Man this cd is great. I wish I was older in 1995.

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

Here is my review. I would have gaven this album 5 stars if it had superman. They should have put superman on this album cause the superman video is on the dvd. I dont care cause I have the Eminem show which has superman. And I have the 8 mile sound track. I also have Encore, and curtain call the hits so it dosent mater to me, I have seen all of eminems music videos except superman. Somebody needs to tell what that videos like. So just to let you know, for the people that dont know and think its on the 8 mile soundtrack its not. It is on The eminem show. Well thats my review.

A place in your collection, but not in history.......2004-10-14

Eminem has some unique poetic tricks in his writing that are even more surprising than the words and topics he employs. But this mix includes artists who are good but much more comforting (such Macy Gray, still underrated as a vocalist) and others are much less comforting and much less talented (such as 50 cent, vastly overrated as artist of any kind).

In toto, this "soundtrack" (itself a misnomer, since it includes many trakcs simply "inspired by" the movie, rather than from it) includes a fabulous first track, and then fifteen tracks that mire in mediocrcity. They're fine as background for cubicle work, but don't mark any unique or interesting turn in cultural history.

Yeah, we've had enough of Shady. But are cameo collections all that will follow?

8 Mile Soundtrack.......2004-09-28

Over all, this is a really good CD.

1. Lose Yourself- 11/10 Best song, period. See my review of the single.
2. Love Me- 6/10 Not bad, but the chorus is kind of annoying.
3. 8 Mile- 8/10 Really good, but it doesn't get you heart pumping like Lose Yourself and isn't as raw as Rabbit Run.
4. Adrenaline Rush- 3/10 A real disappointment. I can't get over the chorus of this song, even though it's edited.
5. Places to Go- 7/10 I'm not a big 50 fan, but this was pretty good.
6. Rap Game- 7/10 Good song, but half of it is missing- edited out.
7. 8 Miles and Runnin'- 4/10 I'm a huge Jay-Z fan, but his track was a real let down.
8. Spit Shine- 7/10 I like it, but Xzibit is a required taste.
9. Time of My life- ?/10 Where did Macy Gray come from? I'm not sure how this made it onto the album.
10. U Wanna be Me- 5/10 NAS isn't really talking about anything except how "bad" Jay-Z is.
11. Wanksta- 7/10 50 is definately good on this album, and this is the better of his two songs.
12. Wasting my Time- ?/10 Another mystery track. Can anybody explain this?
13. R.A.K.I.M.- 6.5/10 Rakim is a legend, but the chorus on this track is reeeeeeally annoying.
14. That's my ***** fo' Real- 6/10 Pretty good.
15. Battle- 7/10 Excellent, but... What is it with the choruses on this album?
16. Rabbit Run- 8/10 Fantastic, it really gets your heart going, and the final line is cool. The only problem is that it isn't up to Eminem's usual rhyming ability.

Buy this Cd for the good songs- 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 15, and 16- and don't avoid it for the poorer ones. It really is worth it.

To Rachel.......2004-03-05

The song is "Shook Ones Part 2" by Mobb Deep. To everyone else, the soundtrack is cool, the best songs are by Eminem. Cop it. Peace.

Awesome beats!.......2004-02-10

For anyone who can help me out, what is the name of the song that is playing in the very begginning while Eminem is getting ready to battle, and then they use the same beat at the end when he does his final scene??

The Deluxe Limited Edition.......2003-11-22

Other reviewers have given useful information and opinions on the soundtrack itself, but I had a little trouble figuring out exactly WHAT made this a Deluxe Limited Edition! The answer is that it comes with a bonus disc, The Shady Aftermath Sampler. The six raps/songs include:

1. Obie Trice - Rap Name
2. Eminem - Stimulate
3. 50 Cent - Til I Collapse Freestyle
4. Joe Beast - Gangsta
5. Brooklyn - The Weekend
6. Shaunta - California

The only really worthwhile bonus track is "Stimulate" by Eminem, which is great! 4, 5 and 6 are enjoyable, but 1 and 3 are downright annoying. I like Brooklyn's song, a fresh female vocalist.

I bought the deluxe version thinking that there would be videos and interviews, possibly a DVD - but it turned out to be only a download of "The Eminem Desksite" which delivers videos and interviews from the internet, maybe twice a month - but it's FREE to download from www.eminem.com, and I already had it, so I was rather disappointed!

As to the soundtrack itself, I just want to say that, in contrast to most reviewers, I LIKE "The Time of My Life". It took a while to get used to it, but since this isn't a RAP ALBUM, but is music connected to a film, I think the song fits as part of the story, when you listen to the lyrics. I also like "Wasting My Time" by Taryn Manning, who played Jimmy's ex-girlfriend Janine in the movie. She has a good voice, and her song also makes the soundtrack feel like it's telling a story. But of course the highlights are the 5 raps in which Eminem appears.

paul.......2003-11-04

this album is a top class album. featuring the likes of eminem, rakim, jay-z and nas.
eminem rips it up on lose yourself, one of his best songs to date. there are other ill em songs such as rabbit run and rap game feat d12
there are new mcs such as obie, 50 and joe beast on the limited edition sampler and old mcs such as rakim and gangstarr
the only thing that ruins this cd are the 2 boring songs by macy gray and boomkat (taryn manning)
this is one which eminem fans will love, but pure hip-hop heads should buy more music from 8 mile ****

kj52's better.......2003-10-02

guys the real thing you gots to listen to is the posotive stuff. i am recomending kj52 for you to be listenen to. i write rhymes myself, and i know how hard it is to be posotive
