Ragged Curtain, The - Manning

Advantages: Has some new music inc a nice end-of-career song
Disadvantages: Most of it is old songs (well, it is a greatest hits album)

...We had The Show, we had the Encore, now its time for the Curtain Call. As the expression goes, all great things must come to an end. This is the end of an era for one of rap's, and music's, biggest stars. In my opinion, he was one of the biggest stars of the music industry over the past decade, singing with the likes of Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and also 50 cent. I grew fond of listening to his vocal talents ever since i heard him for the first time ( The Real Slim Shady).

Disadvantages: not good to listen to with kids around

...I have been amazed by Eminem since he brought out his first album "The Slim Shady LP" in 2000. Rap music is not usually my thing, but I really enjoy listening to Eminem. With his great beats, brilliant lyrics and astounding talent Eminem quickly gained himself many fans. Eminem clearly stands out from all other rap artists. This album, very apropriately titled "Curtain Call" is to be the last as Eminem has decided to now give other areas of his life more time and attention. I know of many who hope he will change his mind and be back one day with more of his groundbreaking music that we all love so much. Track listing: 1.Intro 2. Fack 3. The way I am 4. My name is 5. Stan (featuring Dido) 6. Lose yourself 7. Shake that (featuring Nate Dogg) 8. Sing for the moment 9. Without me 10. Like toy... Read review

.... Eminem also did (I don't know if he does now) drugs. People don't like him for that reason. Eminem remarried Kim Mathers on January 14th 2006 in Michigan. His best man was his longtime friend and his band D12 member Proof, while Kim's matron of honour was his daughter Hailie Jade Mathers. They walked down the isle to Eminem's song `MockingBird'. But they then filed for Divorce less than 11 weeks after remarring. He is also an actor and made a film `8 Mile' which was released in November 2004. ~~~About Curtain Call~~~ Eminem's latest album (Curtain Call) has 17 tracks on it. They are: 1. Intro 2. FACK 3. The Way I Am 4. My Name Is 5. Stan 6. Lose Yourself 7. Shake That 8. Sing For The Moment 9. Without Me 10. Like Toy Soldiers 11. The Real Slim Shady 12. Mockingbird 13. Guilty... Read review
