12. 25 to Life - EM really trying to get that pop radio play.

cliche sample choice AGAIN, same lyrical topic, just average

It's not a sample for the women's part to my knowledge.
Meho:
It's not a sample, it's one of Khalil's background vocalist (Liz Rodriges). Anyways, my quick review:
1. Cold Wind Blows - finally a Just Blaze & Em collabo. And it's doesn't disappoint. Em basically saying that he's back... Love the chorus, great way to start the album. 5/5
2. Talkin' 2 Myself Feat. Kobe - Amazing track. Introspective, with the first 2 verses describing the past problems and the last one overcoming it. Kobe hook is golden 5/5
3. On Fire - Average. Sounds like a mixtape track, no direction 2/5
4. Won't Back Down Feat. Pink - Hype track that got old quick. Still nice to pump you for a run or a work out but that's it. Beat is a tad too noisy. 3/5
5. W.T.P. - Sounds like something 50 would've done back in 04,05. I don't mean that in a bad way but it just sounds dated. Doesn't fit with the rest of the cd either. Chorus is funny 3/5
6. Going Through Changes - Another quality introspective track. I only deduct a point because it basically sounds like Deja Vu part 2. 4/5
7. Not Afraid - Loved it at frist, then it got old quick but now I love it again, considering the placement with LP's flow. Snare sounds way too cheap, Dre should've mixed it 4/5
8. Seduction - Sweet joint. Nice beat from Boi1-Da, smooth chorus and quality storytelling. But Em should've used a more laid back flow (less screaming) 4/5
9. No Love Feat. Lil Wayne - Love it. Em and Wayne have great chemistry, especially with the contrast in their voice/flow. Odd pick for a sample but it works. Em went crazy on his end. 5/5
10. Space Bound - Sounds too left field for Em imo. Again he could've used a more laid back flow. Other than that it's cool. 3/5
11. Cinderella Man - Till I Collapse part 2, I can really here Nate on this one. Another fly joint, definitely gonna be used in my workout playlist a lot. 4/5
12. 25 to Life - Concept has been done several times before but it works. Lovely beat and chorus from Khalil's team. But yet again wrong voice tone from Em to be a perfect track. 4/5
13. So Bad - Banging tune, only beat so far that made me head nod. Sounds like something straight out of Relapse session. 4/5
14. Almost Famous - Maybe lack direction but everything is so big on this track, from beat to Eminem, who's screaming delivery does fit this time 5/5
15. Love the Way You Lie Feat. Rihanna - Sursprisingly nice. Nice relationship storytelling track from Em. Can see this getting annoying once it blows up (which it will) 4/5
16. You're Never Over - Not what I expected from a Proof tribute. Terrible singing and the beat doesn't fit the subject matter at all. 3/5
17. Untitled - Another one of those mixtape sounding track with no direction. Average 3/5
Now I know the rating might not be perfect but I'm loving this cd. It still hasn't gotten old and it's basically the only thing I'm listening to when I run, work out, when I go to sleep... Like LBIA said this was made for gym and stadium arenas but I don't view that in a bad way. I also think that minimal Dre input is nice for a change after he pretty much produced the whole Relapse & Encore. Now, I haven't bumped it in the ride yet but I got a feeling he should at least mix some records.

This might be the best rhymed album of the last few years, with some tracks who truly have substance, and y'all diss the lyrics? :grumpy:
No wonder noone really spits anymore, with a fanbase like this.
Action!:

Eh, I tried to stay but these stupid ass comments kill me. You ain't listening to hip-hop if you think this is the best rhymed cd in the past couple of years.

Matter of fact I don't follow rap anymore, but tell me some albums that are rhymed and spitted better than this one.. I'd be happy to listen to them
