Devil's Night [PA] by D12

Pros: Eminem holds it together
Cons: It's everything you've already heard on a rap record.

Marshall Mathers AKA Eminem or his persona The Slim Shady has stuck to the rap formula of bringing in new talent on an album with the intent of giving them some exposure and a leg up for a spin off rap record. The spin-off is rare on...

Pros: Production, Eminem, good horrorcore rap, hilarious
Cons: many people wont like Bizarre, Em's dominance, a few weaker songs

After the tremendous success of his two solo albums, Eminem decided to create his own label, under Dr. Dre’s Aftermath, called Shady Records. The first rappers he signed to his new record label were his horrorcore rap crew – the Dirty Dozen, also known ...

Pros: Nice production. Decent lyrisim. Em rips it. Some great tracks.
Cons: Not enough of Proof! Some filler. Tries too hard to be obsure.

In hip hop, the rap group is a set genre owned and associated by many different artists. A tribe called quest is one that immediately springs to mind, as does N.W.A, Onyx, Wu Tang Clan, and Outkast etc. Now as every hip hop head knows ...

Pros: Dark humour integrated into the lyrics. Brilliant production. Eminem's show, not D12.
Cons: Eminem's show, not D12. Vulgar and crude, 'shock' lyrics. Filler.

You may have heard of a certain white rapper making waves in the hip-hop/pop/music industry, named Eminem. Hailing from Detroit, this white rapper has indeed broken through to the mainstream hip-hop and pop (even though I don’t think...

Pros: Eminem's Dominating Lyrics, Decent D-12 Performance, Some Good Production, Humorous and Creative at times
Cons: Tries too hard to be controversial, Filler, Some Bad Production, Bizarre is a poor human

Deep in the bowels of Detroit there is a glory of unknown and unreleased hip-hop talent waiting to be discovered. For the past 10 years, emcees have battled in Detroit to try to make a name for themselves. Among these names are Eminem, Royce Da 5'9, and ...

Pros: top notch productions, the D12 crew is actually good, funny lyrics, amazing flows
Cons: lack of originality, saying the same thing all over the album

I received a mail from Interscope Records telling me about the release of Devils Night. I was very sceptical and I decide not to buy it 'cause I expected not an
Eminem like CD,but a "Sh*t on you"-like bounch of songs."Sh*t on you" had some nice...

Pros: Witty Lyrics, Good Production
Cons: A bit too offending at times

When Eminem broke out into the business with My name is I hated the F&@ker! That song was a piece of garbage. It was cheap attempt at gaining shock value. Em’s first album The Slim Shad LP was a weak album. However it did show that Slim...

Pros: Funny lyrics, good beats, D12 aren't just clones of Eminem.
Cons: Some tracks get monotonous, particularly the middle of the LP, Em overshadows sometimes.

Like so many others before him, and most recently Nelly, Eminem has finally dropped a crew album.

The crew in question being D12, or the Dirty Dozen.

Comprised of 6 members, including their most famous, Eminem, they hail from...

Pros: Eminem, some great beats and rapping.
Cons: Bizarre, some cr@ppy rapping and needless skits.

What is it with rappers and side groups these days? You've got Prodigy of Mobb Deep starting a group called Bars and Hooks, Nelly helping the St. Lunatics get a leg up, And now Marshall Mathers bringing back five of his old buddies from Detroit together...

Pros: Catchy as ever, some clever lyrics (and some just vulgar!)
Cons: Its not really D12 - its Eminem...with his friends for backup.

Any fan of rap or music in general could hardly fail to notice when D12 (so called for their six members each having an lter ego, D12 = dirty dozen) burst onto the scene. With Eminem in the group, they didn't exactly need publicity or promotio of any...

Pros: Excellent beats, nice rhymes, Eminem, amazing words
Cons: Absolutley nothing

I'm not actually going to give you 12 reasons to buy D12's "Devil's Night" album, but I'll show you why everyone should own this cd.

Any Eminem fan, even the one's who just jumped onto the bandwagon recently, will appreciate these rhymes...

Pros: Good beats, a few entertaining moments from Eminem
Cons: So blatantly over-the-top that it sounds fake

Make no mistake, Eminem is the music industry's bad boy. Over the past couple of years, he has managed to generate more controversy than the majority of rappers have in their entire careers put together. Therefore, it's not surprising that his newest...

Pros: Good beats, not watered down, brilliant lyrical rhymes, funny at times
Cons: Vulgar to some people, some songs are not good, some songs sound the same

I will have to admit that I knew nothing about this rap group before I bought there CD.
When I heard the first single off the album, Purple P****, I was very impressed. I was
already a huge Eminem fan, and he happens to be a member of D12 so...

Pros: Some tight beats, Eminem's verses, "Girls"
Cons: Bizarre is terrible, too much attempted shock value, not for young ears

Slim Shady is back, and he’s brought five friends, all equally offensive.

The Dirty Dozen, better know as D-12, attempts to stir the industry with their debut album "Devil’s Night."

They warn listeners in the opening skit "Another...

Pros: Eminem is a talented rapper, catchy beats through some tunes
Cons: lacking skills by some rappers, some very stupid songs

For those people out there who like Eminem this album is certainly a must buy. Now, I'm certainly not someone who likes all of his songs. The fact is, about half of them are a collection of some of the most idiotic and offensive material that the...
