Devil's Night was amazing. They were a strong group.

It is hard to sound bad with one of the greatest rappers in their prime, working with Dre lol.

Haven't listened to that shit in years, for whatever reason I felt like Shit On You was there, definitely shoulda been.Anyways, I always liked Devils Night but D-12 world was a bit of a dud although it wasn't horrible looking back.

both of their albums were dope, lyrically Devil's Night was better but the production was on another level with D12 World

Agreed. He was alright on a few songs but overall the group would've been much better without him. I get that they wanted to make him the ODB of the group or whatever but he added absolutely nothing IMO.

Devil's Night was an enjoyable album...much more enjoyable if you remove Bizarre from any songs you can. 50'S takeover ruined D12 for good tho, just when they were really starting to heat up with records like When the Music Stops, Rap Game, Do Rae Me, etc. 50 got the greenlight from Jimmy to release anything he wanted so instead of D12 carrying that momentum into a dope new album, they got pushed back for G-Unit, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, The Game, GRODT Soundtrack, Tony Yayo, Mobb Deep, and nearly Mase and Olivia lol.

As a group and album I was crazy disappointed wi the my purchase, it wasn't creative or impressive lyrically to me.  I was expecting a more like focused joint, I mean it had great production. And Em was on point but it seems the only reason it sold and got so much attention was because of em, it's nice to look back to see how dope Mr Porter was back then, as a producer and hook vocalist ashame this album will probably get remembered more than Dogg Food where the homies of an great mc atop of the world didn't  rode his coat tails and did their own thing

D12 still did pretty well during summer of '04 though but you're right they could have potentially flourished into solo careers

I think the only 3 albums I bought that summer were Hunger For More, D12 World, and Straight Outta Cashville

lmao @ the d12 dick rider himself coming in here to defend his idol, White Jesus and the 12 disciples. 


if it was such a perfect record how come nobody in the rap game wanted to work with D12 like they did with G Unit a year or 2 later?
