D12- D12 World, April 28, 2004
D12's second album "D12 World" (2004) is a decent release. To be honest I have never been big into there work, I remember copping there first album and only liking a few tracks. Maybe this comes from me genuinely finding them to be a bit to out there using controversial lyrics to get attention and sell records. I generally dont care if millions buy a record, what matters to me is can I feel it, can I relate to it on some level, and can it get play in the ride. The lead single "My Band" is a somewhat funny track, Eminem's chorus and D12's lyrics make it a different but entertaining track. The video for this cut had me laughing...I think one of the good things about Eminem is he doesnt mind making fun of himself. Alot of early tracks just dont do much for me and fall under skip material, though there are definetly some standout tracks and for me they are "How Come", the pounding second single "40 Oz", and the grimey Dre produced "American Psycho II" feat. Breal of Cypress Hill. My favourite track is the deep "Good Die Young", D12 drops an excellent cut while talking about life and death, appreciating each day and remembering those who have past. Maybe this one is my fav because D12 deliver some real relevent lyrics and take things to another level. "D12 World" is a release I would recommend for D12 and Eminem fans. 3.5.

D12 World, April 28, 2004
After resting for three years as a group, D12 represents once again as they continue to expand their skills. Although not as good as Devil's Night, which connects with the listener immediately and provides more gangsta rap, D12 World is extrememly good after carefully listening to its lyrics. Eminem continues to show that he is the best rapper out there, hands down. His creativity in his lyrics leave you in awe as he twists words in "Bitch," but his usual flowing talent comes out in "6 In The Morning." The songs that Shady does not appear in allow Swift and Proof to display thier skills as well. Bizarre has his moments as usual but improves as a lyricist in this album. Combining the talent of producing and rapping by Eminem, and the individual styles of the rest of D12, this group shows that they can still keep ears listening, even if you don't like D12. Shady Records well done. Favorite Songs: 6 In The Morning, How Come, Bitch

Doesn't come close to Devil's Night, April 30, 2004
Dont get me wrong, i like eminem and i like D12. This album out of the 21 tracks maybe has 5 good ones. The albums best are "how come" and "good die young". I was just very disapointed with the CD. With 21 tracks you know that there are gonna be many pointless skits and bad songs. I almost gave this album 3 stars, but it isnt worth that. What ever happened to the great songs like "fight music", "Revelation", "Pistol Pistol" and "That's How..." from Devils Night. I know this isnt the real D12 so hopefully they will come back strong.
