Downloading this now, only 11 tracks, would have thought it was longer than that.

Just uneducatedly speaking(as usual) I thought Royce obviously outshines eminem on the title track. Other than that I didn't see it kid


K maybe Take From Me too, but Em holds it down from this hippie's opinion on the album.

I still hate the female pop sounds in the album. They suck and take away from the message IMO

When eminem says shit like "I'm the real macaroni you cheesy bitches" is he tapping his inner Jamie Kennedy? Cuz Jackie Kennedy could've come up with more creative shit

Given, but as expected it was drunk and uneducated. I'll try to talk about it somewhat logically tomorrow if I'm able

One last point before I crash, it sounds like Royce is trying to match eminem on lighters but just cant, talking about lyrically, not artistically, although im not that sure of it. Does this sound stupid? I honestly don't know. And I think I somewhat understand sampling/bringing in a totally different artist(dido) to re-emphasize a message, but bruno mars and that shit they contribute is just absurdly inferior when contrasted against what eminem and royce seem to be speaking to there. IMO to make that song badass as hell they either need to cut all the bruno mars out, or figure out a way to say that stupid chorus in 10-12 seconds instead of over half a minute

Edit: but shit like that chick singing in the second song I can do without. The rap sounds awesome as hell buy stuff like that just sounds stupid and gets in the way to me


My buddy who burned me the cd told me this is done to create broader appeal. Basically, they know the rap is the shit and fans will love it, but people who are more into the melodic r&b sound want pop-sounding stuff added in.

But wasn't one of the points of this cd about getting away from the industry bullshit and doing what you do? I don't get it I don't think

I have listened to several of the songs so far and find it hard to believe that anyone could honestly think Royce is on the same level as Eminem. But I am pretty biased in my view as Eminem is one of my favorites.

Yeah only two. But i think your self esteem is sufficient enough to handle the lack of comical acknowledgement.

Not saying that he is hot garbage, just that I don't think he is on par or equal to Em. I like Royce, just not as much as I like Em.

What's everyone's favorite song on this EP?


So far I'm torn between "I'm on Everything" and "The Reunion"

I haven't got a chance to really listen to it, I got through about 3 or 4 tracks, going to download it to my phone so I can listen tomorrow at work.

You out yo damn fool mind.

Royce has ALWAYS been on the same level as Eminem. That's why he had such a buzz before he and Em fell out. He was regarded as the only guy who could go verse for verse, line for line with Eminem on a song. And he still can. And has.


I've got him 3rd or 4th outta Detroit
Em
Elzhi
One B Lo
Royce...

The best songs are the 1st (I have to listen to it at twice in a row on the way to work and twice in a row going home), the 7th (A Kiss), and the last.

Does anyone have the Deluxe Edition with the 2 extra tracks? I guess it's not a big deal, I can just DL them from youtube.

The first song might be the best. When I first put the cd on, after that song I was like ok cool let's hear this whole thing

That is not a typical reaction by me when it comes to alot of rap/hip hop.
