"Shake that" is bomb as hell Em and Nate do they thing, "When I'm Gone" is good, deep.but a bit depressing/emo to really bump a lot, and "Fack" is just.ridiculous, sounds like some bad Encore cut. "Shake That" feat Nate Dogg (who ironically is on it more than Eminem), "When I'm Gone", and "Fack". Either way, nice to have except nowadays most people already have these songs and can put them on their iPod which defeats the purpose.
I would have to say though you'll never get the full effect he has without getting an actual album cuz to be honest, some of his hits can't hold a CANDLE to songs like "Who Knew" and "Still Don't Give a F***".
Still a nice CD to have and the guy deserved to have one after his years of strong work. (4.5/5) - haha i love em.Īll in all.say goodbye to Fack, Shake That and Just Lose It.add Superman, Encore and/or Criminal.and ur set.oh.and they forgot the BEST song of all time (Forgot about dre).but its not really em's song, so i'll forgive him.Ĥ stars, 5 if he had left off all those dumpy songsĪ collection of his Greatest Hits, however I feel a few others could have made it on here like "Superman" and "Drug Ballad", but ah well.

Hopefully he'll be back in the near future with new fresh tracks that sound a lot like "When I'm Gone" because that is definitely the stand-out of this CD, if not of his career in general.Ģ Fack (0/5) - What is this crap even suppose to be?ģ The Way I Am (5/5) - Classic (nuff said)Ĥ My Name Is (4.5/5) - my intro to eminem, i never looked back.ĥ Stan feat. Eminem is a powerhous in hiphop, and "Curtain Call" is yet another chart topper for him. Unfortunately, the live version is taken straight from the CBS telecast of the Grammys, and though the cheering and live audience has been removed from the track, it is still the "broadcast suitable" version and therefore bleeped. "Curtain Call" also includes the live Elton John performance of "Stan" as a Bonus Track, in addition to Dido's version so you can compare the two. Anyway, this dual disc version is the CD to get because Stan's Mixtape includes "Renagade-" the Eminem/Jay-Z song previously released only on Jay's "The Black Album." While all of the songs on Stan's Mixtape can be easily found on any downloading system on the net, it's just nice to have the tracklist all together.
Instead he delivers an even mix of those ("Mockingbird," "Lose Yourself," "Like Toy Soldiers," "Cleanin Out My Closet," and "Way I Am") with his commercial "dance" hits like "My Name Is," "Real Slim Shady," "Without Me," and "Just Lose It." "Shake That" is one of the new songs that falls into that category, as is "Fack".sort of."Fack" is more like "Drips" than anything else, and I wonder what the clean version of the CD will have to compensate. Eminem is known for riding the thin line between telling stories and telling HIS story, and he is never more introspective than in "When I'm Gone." Personally, I wish this CD consisted of more of those songs- of the songs Eminem says he likes but not many else do (like "Rock Bottom" which never made it to a single). If you're an Eminem fan you have all of these songs already- but the CD is worth buying simply for the single "When I'm Gone" alone.
