    Some songs are so unbelievably off-beat, I couldn't hear to that **** Other songs like the singles "Fast Lane" or "Lighters" are very good rapped and also the highlights of the album. The residual album is disappointing rubbish. A million of swear words and some songs, where they're only grumble about women or fans. Other songs don't have choruses, which are extremely important for me. Poor album.

    Ehh, not a good album. It's okay. But I liked only 3 songs from here (Welcome 2 Hell, Above the Law and Fast Lane). Others were either average or bad.

    I think its quite clear that the only reason to buy this album is for Eminem, Lets face it Em is a beast. I wasnt all that impressed with Royce and I feel that he was trying too hard to mimic Em instead of being himself. Wasnt that impressed with the tracks either. Pretty disapointing

    Eminem and Royce donn't find what many fans look for, its mostly a mess of uneediness and overplayed songs.

    Slim Shady and Royce collaborating again, and fulfilling the promise they made in their original song. It is hard not to compare this song to both artists' previous work. Listening to the original "Bad Meets Evil" and the songs off of this album, they are completely different and you can really tell the difference between Eminem and his alter ego "Slim Shady." That being said, the album isSlim Shady and Royce collaborating again, and fulfilling the promise they made in their original song. It is hard not to compare this song to both artists' previous work. Listening to the original "Bad Meets Evil" and the songs off of this album, they are completely different and you can really tell the difference between Eminem and his alter ego "Slim Shady." That being said, the album is no doubt lyrically superior than most albums. The main problem, is the balance between artists. The most horrid songs off the album, are "Take From Me," and "Lighters." Take From Me was way to unrelatable, and Lighters was way too unbalanced. Bruno Mars "killed" his verses. Being that Mars' voice rocked the song, it simply just did not match well with Royce and Em's flow, and really threw off the entire flow of the song. Really... that's the problem with the album, being unbalanced. Whereas in the original "Bad Meets Evil," Em and Royce fed off of each others' fuel with precision, while in this EP, one song: Em will shine and Royce will suck. another song: Royce will shine and Em will suck. There are only a few tracks where they genuinely work well together. Example would be "The Reunion" and "Fast Lane." Whereas the unbalanced performances are shown in "Above the Law" and "Living Proof." This is still a good album though, if your a Em fan or Slaughterhouse fan, you will be pleased with this. But it just is not of the caliber it should have been and its not of the caliber that either rapper should be expecting to perform at. The Good: Lyrically superior, great rhythms and beats. The Bad: unbalanced flows and tempos… Expand

    its ok. Eminem has taken a long dive down in recent years. although a couple songs on the album are pretty good. royce brings him down. Eminem should do some music with tech N9ne. he is the only other rapper that i know of that they would both have to struggle to keep up with one another

    If you've ever found yourself pouring over the lyrics to a Eminem or Royce song, trying to break down each metaphor and punchline, you'll eat Hell up.

    This is a labor of love Eminem clearly made for himself and an old friend who unleashed his inner beast. As he does on seemingly every album, Eminem makes noise here about retiring; for the first time in forever, that actually seems like a bad idea.

    The duo's sinister raps are as shockingly impressive as they are morally disturbing.
