There's plenty of unfocused bluster here, but enough taut cuts to make up for the cameos from... D12. [15 Dec 2006, p.87]
-
A glorified mix-tape... sprawling with lots of throwaway songs and loaded with interludes
-
The Re-Up has plenty of that serious heat that influenced Eminem to go aboveground with the release.
-
70Despite meticulous production, "The Re-Up" retains some of the spare, raw feel of an underground release. [16 Dec 2006]
-
This one won't dissapoint Eminem, Shady or G-Unit fans, but it also won't blow them away.
-
The members of the crew surrounding Eminem still need to distinguish themselves individually, but in the tradition of G-Unit/Shady's best stuff, few songs on The Re-Up have to be skipped.
-
40If they've kept the good stuff back in the hope of better times, the decision was misguided; but if this is the best they can manage, the portents are, in the original sense of the word, ill.
-
It's a crew album--of course it sucks. The depressing thing is how much. [28 Dec 2006, p.114]
-
40Like a neglectful party host, [Eminem] keeps disappearing, leaving you to have your ear bent by some crashing dullard.
-
40Unfortunately, there are none of the ridiculous disses, insane freestyles or wacky interludes that make real mixtapes entertaining.
-
The bloody, boastful rhymes are mostly DOA, victims of songs that value attitude over arrangement.
-
30Hip-hop is not at its best on The Re-Up, but there are brief flashes of hope hidden amidst the gunk.
-
On his few appearances on "The Re-Up," Em sounds completely lost, grasping for a new subject for his roving mind, or even for a reason to keep rapping.
