Free Music Notes for Eminem Presents: The Re-UpFree Music Review: Heres my opinion, take from it what you will Hit: 5 Stars
1. Shady Narcotics (Eminem Intro) - Eminem its an intro, im not going to rate it
2. We're Backmathers, M./Resto, L. - Ca$his, , Eminem, , Stat Quo - this song is tight, eminem outshines the rest as expected, but everyone has good verses, obie trice is in this too 5/5
3. Pistol Pistol [Remix] obie trice does this song, he freestyles about getting shot over the pistol ostol beat from d12 first album, obie kills it, wish he had rapped more like this on his last album 5/5
4. Murder - Kuniva bizarre is inthsi song too, pretty tight song i give it 4/5
5. Everything Is Shady - Ca$his this song is alright, not feeling it that much tho 2/5
6. Re-Up - Eminem, 50 Cent the intro alone to this song is 5/5 thats all i got to say
7. You Don't Know - Lloyd Banks, Ca$his, Eminem, 50 Cent everyone reading this has proly already heard this song, i think cashis came a little weak on the verse altho the more i listen to his verse the more i like it i guess, but its a bad azz song 5/5
8. Jimmy Crack Corn - Eminem, 50 Cent eminem outshines 50 a little bit on this song, not to mention he has 2 verses to 50s one, buts its another 4/5
9. Trapped - proof verse from a song that leaked a long time ago, but goes nice into the next song, not gunna rate this
10. Whatever You Want - Swifty McVay, Mister Porter, 3/5 i like this song, swiftys verse is tight, but its just average d12 to me
11. Talkin' All That - Ca$his 5/5 cashis kilss this song, and the beat is very catchy, like it a lot
12. By My Side - Stat Quo 6/5 this is oneof the best songs that i have heard in awhile, stat just absolutely hits all three verses perfectly, i cant stop listening to this
13. We Ride for Shady - Ca$his, 2/5 not feelin it that much, i like what hes rapping about, but not a good delivery
14. There He Is - Bobby Creekwater 1/5 i usually skip this song
15. Tryin' Ta Win - Stat Quo 2/5 kind of boring, usually skip this song too
16. Smack That [Remix] - Bobby Creekwater, Stat Quo 5/5 if you like the original, i say this one is better. stats verse is really cool, but bobby creekwater has one of the tightest verses on this cd on this song, sounds like a mix between andre 3000/ big boi
17. Public Enemy #1 - Eminem if you like We As Americans you will like this ong, takling about the fbi tapping his phone, cool freestyle 5/5
18. Get Low - Stat Quo 4/5 i like this song a lot, but it just seems like it is missing something to make it a big hit
19. Ski Mask Way [Eminem Remix] - 50 Cent 3/5 all it is is a new beat to this song, which is from the massacre. its a more uptempo beat, kinda cool
20. Shake That [Remix] - Bobby Creekwater, Nate Dogg, Eminem, Obie Trice 4/5 its good, but i am tired of the beat to this song, when the originalginal came out i heard it a million times, so...
21. Cry Now [Shady Remix] - Ca$his, Bobby Creekwater, Kuniva, Stat Quo, Obie Trice 5/5 this remix is absolutely awesome, although i have had it for thepast 3 months, luv this song
22. No Apologies - Eminem another 6/5, this si the eminem that i miss, and the eminem that i hope is here to stay. i have read rumors that he is going to make another cd, i hope he sounds like this on it!
overall i say buy this album, i only skip those two songs, its a must buy.
Eminem Presents: The Re-Up PosterEminem Presents: The Re-Up (Shady Records/Interscope Records), began as a street mixtape project--an underground, unofficial CD with raw production values--designed to help launch new Shady Records artists Stat Quo, Ca$his and Bobby Creekwater. "But what happened is that the material was so good and the tracks were getting produced like a regular album," said Eminem. "Instead of putting it out there rough and unfinished, I thought we should add some other new tracks, make it a real album, and put it in the record stores to give these new artists a real boost." The album was executive produced by Eminem, who also produced the majority of the songs. A handful of selections were produced by The Alchemist, who also compiled the album in true mixtape fashion. The Alchemist is best known for his work with Cypress Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Mobb Deep, and Jadakiss. Each of the tracks makes its official CD debut on Eminem Presents: The Re-Up, though Stat Quo's "Billion Bucks," and Obie Trice's "Cry Now" (Remix), produced by LT Moe, was recently released on mixtapes and to radio. The first single and video will be "You Don't Know" from Eminem, 50 Cent, Ca$his and Lloyd Banks. With Eminem and Ca$his from the Shady camp and 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks from G-Unit, the rap illustrates the unity of the two organizations. The Re-Up also gave acclaimed hip-hop producer The Alchemist a chance to work with Shady's new regime. After joining forces on-stage as Eminem's DJ on last year's Anger Management 3 tour, Alchemist and the Shady camp began collaborating in the studio. This new album features the results of this anticipated collaboration with new tracks produced by The Alchemist featuring Stat Quo, Ca$his, Bobby Creekwater and Obie Trice. Among the album's other recordings are "No Apologies" from Eminem; "Talkin' All That" from Ca$his; "City Of Gold" from Bobby Creekwater; "Murder" from Bizarre and Kuniva (both of D12); and The "Smack That (Remix)" with Akon. Stat Quo, hailing from Atlanta, was signed to a joint deal between Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment after Eminem and Dre heard him on the Underground Atlanta mixtape series. Creekwater, also from Atlanta, was inked after Eminem heard his work on demos and in the studio with The Alchemist. Ca$his, a Chicago native transplanted in his youth to Orange Co., California, was a member of West Coast underground favorites The Renegadez. Rampant misinformation about Eminem Presents: The Re-Up included many false internet tracklistings and that the mixtape would be a tribute to D12's Proof, the recently slain rapper and close friend of Eminem. "The D12 album and those unreleased songs with Proof are coming," said Eminem. "But The Re-Up is about these new artists and these new songs. It isn't fair to them or to the memory of Proof to mix them up." What began life as an informal street mix-tape project to help launch fledgling Shady Records artists (Stat Quo, Ca$his, Bobby Creekwater, Obie Trice, and producer The Alchemist) has now become an official release. Flowing fairly randomly from track to track, the project, perhaps surprisingly for such a high profile outing, retains its original mixtape vibe. It's a thuggish and sluggish affair, led by Alchemist's somber, strong-arm beats (with additional production from Dr. Dre amd Kon Artis), and inhabited by a varied range of voices, from the Shady Records artists previously mentioned to Eminem himself (on half a dozen tracks), and appearances from 50 Cent, the recently slain Proof, and others from the G Unit crew. With so many cuts at the same tempo and with the same moody aura, it can all start to wear a little in places. Indeed, with such a wealth of up and coming talent and established personnel at work, there really ought to be more stand-outs. As it is, we get perhaps six killers (including Eminem-led cuts, "The Re-Up" and "Jimmy Crack Corn"), a disproportionate amount of fillers, and a mixtape/album that--just about--leaves a vaguely positive impression. --Paul Sullivan
