As a big Eminem fan, I wouldn't consider my collection complete without this CD. But I'm also I huge fan of crazily-done cover songs . . .

Expecting a serious tribute? This ain't it. The Lounge Brigade have taken Em's songs a whole new direction. Listen to the clips before buying to make sure you know what you're getting. Too many people buy this sort of thing and then are upset because it's not what they thought it would be. It ain't rap, it ain't serious, but it is good for a hearty belly laugh.

I just wanted to say that i recieved a free copy of this album from the guy who produced it and i gotta say when i heard it i couldn't stop laughing. I would totally go out and buy it if i had to. Now you might say that i'm biased because i know all of the "polar bears covered in flour" who do the vocals but when you give guys the lyric sheets and tell them to "do whatever they want" you can't expect them to try and sound like Eminem. That brings me back to my initial point that this album is not really meant to be taken seriously. So Matt in jersey calm down and go to the anger management tour so you can blow your whole paycheck to see the real Eminem. If you like great musicians having fun with some popular songs go out and pick this up.

I am far beyond the age of a typical Eminem listener. After listening to the clips and buying "Put Some Style Into It", (performed by an entirely different group of musicians). I thought this album would be a real hoot. It delivers all that and more. The arrangements are cool and Eminem himself would probably be proud that his music is reaching a different segment.
This is a real shocker when you consider most of the explicit language is retained to mostly hilarious lounge arrangements.
There is a clever use of percussion throughout though unlike that used in rap. Vibes and guitars glissen, and theres' a touch of brass on a couple of selections. This is not really a tribute but a good natured spoof to Eminem! To all you rappers,
heres the perfect way to introduce yourselves to salsa, lounge/jazz and soul. Sorry that this rendition will likely outlast the originator as time passes on.

C'mon man...y'all can't be serious. The singers on this album are whiter than a polar bear covered in flour. I just wanna hear what Eminem has to say about this garbage. These guys couldn't hold VANILLA ICE's jock strap...and that's saying something
