Eminem Presents: The Re-Up [PA] by Eminem

Pros: A "polished" mixtape - there is a "complete" feel in a number of songs...
Cons: ...but it is the project's ambiguity, trite material and running length that bogs it down

It’s just not it used to be at the G-Unit/Shady/Aftermath stable, at least for the past two years. Eminem’s Encore was shockingly terrible. G-Unit dropped brick after brick with Tony Yayo, Mobb Deep and Lloyd Banks. Proof of D-12 got ...

Pros: Eminem is mostly on-point, most production, Obie Trice
Cons: Eveyone else can hardly rhyme, lots of bad production

From once ruling the rap game with an iron fist, the Shady/Aftermath/G Unit record label has taken a hard fall. I blame it all on 50 Cent. As soon he was signed, Eminem became involved in the Murder Inc. and The Source beefs, which basically drained him ...

Pros: Eminem and 50 Cent feature a couple of good tracks with killer lyrics

Pros: Eminem, variety of rappers
Cons: Dull, more of a mixtape

Eminem Presents The Re-Up is mediocre at best. It's basically a complication CD of Eminem introducing new members of his record label Shady-Aftermath. Eminem does appear on about 1/3 of the songs on this CD, but he isn't at his best. This is more of a ...

Pros: Eminem and Obie Trice turn in strong performances
Cons: Did the world really need remixes of Ski Mask Way and Smack That?

"The Re-Up" is honestly more of a well-produced mixtape than an album that you expect to buy it stores. It's not very cohesive -- it's just a lot of tracks thrown together to showcase the Shady Records artists. And like most mixtapes, it has its highs ...

Pros: Variety of new artists, remixed tracks
Cons: Skits, simplistic beats and lyrics

Eminem and Shady Records present The Re-Up. A compilation of the old gang including the late Proof, Bizare, Obie Trice, 50 cent, Nate Dogg, Akon, Kuniva and some new comers by the name of Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater and Kashis. The different ...
