Postby Le Tunisien » Feb 13th, '09, 23:26

I think everybody Likes to listen to D12 just because of Eminem ncluded, Like people Buying D12 albums just cuz there is Eminem on the album ....So when people say that like d12 they just like them cuz of Eminem......and Personally i only used to listen D12 shet to hear Em or Proof ye Proof Was funny and damn Good But damn now ... :unsure:

thats what i think,

I never really liked D12, they have a couple good songs though

i like d12 when ems with them not becuase ems verse is the only one that good. he brings the best out in the others. when he spits a verse all the others verses are good, but when ems not with them then theyr verses tend to not be that great.

i agree that Eminem verses make them seem to be inspired more to write better because i like only a select few songs by d-12 without Eminem on the tracks.

i wish Proof still was alive, i'd listen to their new stuff then
oh yeah... and thanks for nothing too

I've only ever listened to the d12 songs that have eminem featuring, mainly: Purple Hills, My Band, How Come etc..

But i dont think they will never be big again unless Em returned with them

Well I think this can a pply to many other bands as well. I've never personally liked D12 that much so I can't really agree or anything...

I disagree. Swift, Proof, Kon Artist > Eminem, Bizzare, Kuniva on every song from the Devils Night album, and I'm being serious.

I don't lie to myself.

I haven't checked D12's new shit since Proof died, and judging from their releases such as "Fugh U" i'm glad i haven't.

I only ever really liked Eminem and at a push, Proof from D12. The others on their solo shit (like Kuniva on "Pawns In The Game") are great, but as a crew Kon Artis, Kuniva and Swifty sound too similiar to me to be that interesting.

Plus i don't know if it's intended, but every verse Eminem has ever put on a D12 song he seems to stand out from the rest of them, oftentimes with the beat actually being extended or edited just on his verse and with him normally being either first or last.
