Editorial Reviews :
How Eminem was able to assemble so many credible emcees of today and yesteryear (Jay-Z, Rakim) to endorse his Holly'hood coming out party is anyone's guess. What is clear, however, is that (dare we say it) the Shady One might be growing up. On 'Lose Yourself' Em abandons his callous, hardcore posturing to write thoughtful hood-centric coming-of-age lyrics that would make Melle Mel proud. On 'Battle,' Gang Starr's Guru tears through a sick beat from rap's most prolific producer, DJ Premier. Sadly, Nas wastes more valuable studio time dissing Jay-Z (ho hum) on 'You Wanna Be Me.' Interestingly, once you get past the living-legend love-in and peep the skills from Em's lesser-known Shady Records roster of underground wordsmiths, such as 50 Cent ('Wanksta') or Obie Trice ('Adrenaline Rush'), you might urge Em to consider giving up his thespian pursuits to become a full-time record executive. Not even the baffling inclusion of Macy Gray's humdrum 'Time of Your Life' can sink this project.
Buyer Reviews :
Em continues to provide his standard excellent performance on his five cuts. By now, we've all heard 'Lose Yourself,' the inspiring anthem he delivers with a Pac-like passion similar to 'Soldier,' 'Sing For the Moment' and ''Til I Collapse' from 'The Eminem Show.' What detracts from this album are the R&B cuts that don't fit and seem misplaced inserted between hip-hop tracks. Gangstarr, Jigga, Nas and 50 Cent provide solid cuts, while one surprise is the eerily commercial sounding track from legendary mic God Rakim, which really isn't that bad, but hopefully isn't a precursor to an Aftermath Ent. debut of the same fair.
