Advantages: Excellent lyrics Disadvantages: No stand out tunes, dull
...With the release of Relapse back in early 2009 it would seem that Eminem was back to his best, something which the critics didn’t quite agree with since the album only reached a mediocre 3 out 5 on most websites. With only a couple of releases it was clear that Eminem was going to have to pull something new out of the bag in order to regain his King Of Hip Hop crown that seems to be continuously dragged from his head by the likes of Kanye West and ... ...of Relapse and includes, not only the 20 songs that were on the original album but 7 new songs to tide fans over until the release of Relapse 2. Much like Lady Gaga has done recently, re-releasing an album with only a few new tracks I always find is the lazy option however with the news that he’ll be releasing his brand new album next year I think we can let him off. So is the re-release of Relapse titled ‘Refill’ actually any good and more importantly ...
Advantages: Genius Lyrics, Funny Skits, Great Beats and Great Staying Power Disadvantages: Naughty Words and Radical Themes.
(Title is a play on what Kanye West said to Taylor Swift - Not his actual words) I have never been a HUGE fan of Eminems. I liked the classics like 'Stan' , 'The Way I Am' and ' Cleaning out my Closet'. My partner on the other hand worships him. He loves the hardcore rap, the vulgarity of some lyrics and his sick twisted sense of humour. The 'Relapse' album was a hugely anticipated comeback from the 'rapper from 8 mile' since his stint with drug ... ...And i can see why. This album is EXCELLENT. The songs are extremely entertaining with great beats and a great staying power as well as some tongue in cheek humour that makes Eminem so great lyrically awesome and you get to like the 'psycho who's singing to a girl he's gonna kill' (One of the best songs in the Album - 'Same song and Dance') My personal Faves are 'Hello', 'Same Song and Dance' and 'My Mom'. I can listen to this Album over and over ...
Advantages: A few good tracks Disadvantages: A lot of filler
...beat. It is a typical Eminem production - boring and repetitive. This is a theme through the album so I won't mention from now onwards unless something is particularly terrible or wonderful. 4/5
3. Pistol Pistol (Remix) - Trice, Obie
The orgional was by D12 and was on their 'Devils Night' album released many years ago. Obie raps about the incident where he got shot in the head and almost died that occured in January 2006 if I recall correctly. ... ...the origional lyrics over an Eminem beat. I will point you in the direction of the origional mix instead of this version, and I'll grade the track on the beat rather than lyrical content. 1/5
20. Shake That (Remix) - Nate Dogg & Eminem, Obie Trice, Bobby Creekwater
What a terribel song to chose to remix. Obie and Bobby provide the new verses, Eminem says something at the beginning. Maybe it'a a hook, maybe it's considered a verse. Who knows; who ...
Advantages: Hours of great Rap music from a great Rap Artist! Disadvantages: Occasional explict language

Advantages: Thought provoking and talent!! Disadvantages: none
...being un politically correct. The slim Shady LP is full of tracks that explain some of his lifes problems from his problems at school to the problems with his ex partner and their daughter hailey. If your easily offended then this is definatly not a album for you, on the other hand if you like a little humour with a serious side and a talented way of putting it then this album should definatly be amoungst your CD collection.
