Problem is I wouldn't want to pay money for it. No Apologies is a good song, but most of the album doesn't even have Em on it. The remakes/remixes of other songs (Pistol Pistol, Smack That, Ski Mask Way, Shake That) seemed pretty lazy to me (think of some new songs?) and Ca$his and Bobby Creekwater are pretty mediocre; "Talkin' All That" bust be the worst song to ever appear on an album with the name Eminem on it. Yes, that includes Ass Like That, Kim, Stronger Than I Was, Em Calls Paul, Ken Kanniff skit, You're Never Over and Won't Back Down. I'm not surprised Ca$his never blew up. What was Em thinking?
