I think it had it's good songs, but overall was a disappointment for him being out of it for like 4+ years and now comes back and drops this CD, which had alot of hype. Same as the Asher Roth CD, it had a bunch of hype then it drops and is basically a turd. Had it not been so hyped, it might be viewed better. Dre did really falter on this one. He did full production on it and might as well have phoned the whole thing in. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League would have done a better job, and their production doesn't fit Em's style at all. He is still a dope lyricist, but he needs to realize he peaked early with the Marshall Mathers LP and from here on out, he will actually have to work at it to match that greatness. Album will go Gold if not Platinum based on the hype alone, but is not a great CD from him.
