In honor of Eminem’s Slim Shady LP turning 15 years old, we get Shady XV. The 1 st disc of this album is pretty good, and fairly cohesive. Eminem goes solo on a few songs, like Shady XV and Guts Over Fear. The former sounds like a long freestyle, while the former feels like it could go on his last album, the Marshall Mathers LP2. Slaughterhouse does well as does Yelawolf…but I felt D-12 was a weak link on the 1 st cd. The 2 nd cd contains hits from 50 Cent, D-12, and well u get the idea. There’s even Loose Yourself, and a demo of Loose Yourself; which was one of Eminem’s best songs. Detroit vs. Everybody is nice as well. I really like this idea of Shady XV, but I can’t help but feel it shoulda been better. The verdict: 8.5/10. Its a good collage of Shady Aftermath songs.....the only person missing is DR. Dre.
