THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS CD
Well let me just quickly get to my point Eminem made 5 albums.I for one like all of them BUT this album might be his last because I heard he might be retiring…sad yes but true. But then you look at this album it has all of his hits except for forgot about dre but in this case he literally forgot to add dre in this album ..well at least that song anyway. However the good part about this album is that he added some new songs such as “When im gone”
Overall this album deserves 5 stars (D A M N ) i cant rate more.. I still think this is a better way of ending his career because 5 albums is good enough for me better ending a career with one last album then getting shot…tupac…*sobs*
Sorry Fat Joe, needs to be said!
The Kracker has a flow like an 18 year old Peurto Rican Chick! What’s wrong with all of you?
“Man Dre does his beats man, thats some kosher —-!”
—- that —-! If it were’nt for Dre no one would have ever heard of this punk! You want a White Detroit rapper with a good flow, check out Jamie Maddrox! You want to hear a Peurto Rican Chick rap, go to Fullerton Street in Chicago!
Eminem's Greatest Hits Package Misses
Since entering the mainstream rap and pop music market, Eminem has shocked and amazed many and also left behind many memorable songs. A decent amount of some of his best work in addition to some new songs were scraped together for this greatest hits package, “Curtain Call”. The selection of songs include two of Eminem’s biggest hits, “My Name Is” and “Lose Yourself”. However, some key songs such as “‘Till I Collapse”, “Criminal”, and “Role Model” are missing. If this is Eminem’s last release, then I am happy because I believe that he has went as far as possible with his lyrical and musical creativity. If you want a true Eminem greatest hits package, you’re better off burning yourself a CD with all of his real hits on it instead of buying this poorly thrown together compilation.
Pretty good...
I bought this cd… and got what i paid for.
I am a 15 year old boy.. so naturally i like rap. Or so i’m stereotyped. Well… I’m actually a country kid, but i did enjoy some of this cd.
There were songs that i love of his on here (The Way I am, Mockinbird, Lose Yourself.) But there was some songs that i thought were VERY innapropriate.. (but i really cant say anything.. i knew what i was buying)
But overall i thought it was a fantastic cd
of course his old stuff is better
you guys do realize that Em went downhill fast when Dre stopped bein involved and Em started taking over the production duties, right?
It's over for this hack!
I never liked eminem I always hated his freaking guts, he was the most arrogant greedy selfish person who claims he had such a hard life and millions of people and the media just eats it up from him. I for one do not buy that he had a horrible past, he just didn’t have a perfect life and yet he becomes so incredibly rich and famous for writing alot of garbage about how he hates his mom, killing his girlfriend,and ranting about homos. This guy just has no real musical talent but it’s nothing to mention, he just let’s the back up machine do all the work and no one plays an instrument and that’s hip hop.
EMINEM SUCKS!!!
HIP HIP SUCKS!!!
Historic HipHop Artist
I don’t care what anyone says, Em will most likely go down as the most influential hiphop artist of our time.
And I don’t care what you say, “When I’m Gone” is worth every penny you spend on this CD. It’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it.
Slim Shady, we salute you!
Thank you, Eminem, for seven years of hits and artistic brilliance. You are adored and loved.
Eminem - rub a dub, dub, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great album but everyone has heard these songs over and over again.
The guy puts out 4 albums with the exact same subject matter, you bought all of it, and now you buy his greatest hits?
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME, that best describes Eminem and his entire fanbase. Whether or not you want to believe it, eminem fanboy (or girl), eminem essentially released the same cd 4 times. He finally caught flack for it on encore when even you, the mainstream consumer, admitted the album sucked hard. Eminems not anymore talented than a Chino XL or RA the Rugged Man, but he looks like a pop star and is on intercourse, whoops, I mean interscope records, so of course anyone will buy his cd. His fanbase primarily consists of 13 year old boys and girls who are mad at their moms and dads for not letting them go to the mall on the weekend for a bad report card. Anyways, back to the cd, so you take his greatest radio hits (which are even crappier than the rest of the cd) and put them on one cd, and people are still buying it, what the hell are they putting in you peoples cereal? Use your subconscious if that’s what it takes and think for yourself.
