    The greatest-hits disc is a misnomer: It's mostly a grab-bag of Shady throwaways and deep cuts.

MMLP2 was a great start, but he's honing on a production style, this rock/hip hop infused stuff, that really works. His rhymes as as sinister as ever, throwback to 2001 with this Iggy Azalea stuff. Eminem fans should be happy with this one.… Full Review »
