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.


Well man. I kinda realized I love Proof's verses too. Thanks for reminding me! :)

Ok, Em got me into D12,, but to be truthful only Kon Artis & Bizarre suck really, thought individullay they have had some good tracks and contribute on some songs. Swifty's EP he released are good, nothing mind blowing, but better than most of the mainstream today, same with Kuniva aswell. Both have D12 tracks which they kill (Swift: Pimp Like Me, Instigator, Leave Dat Boy Alone,) Kuniva (D12- World, Keep Talkin, Nasty Mind, That's How). Proof is probably the most unique out of D12 and as a whole,if you listen to the majority of D12 songs, Em doesn't overshadow them as much as people are saying

I first knew D12 by "Purple Hills", but searchin for Eminem's songs. As the impression was good, I used to check every song wth D12 or his members, but Em music was always easier to find. And used to sound better... so I listen more do D12 songs with Eminem, cuz he's one of the best of the group, but not ONLY him matters. The rest of the crew matters to me too. :flower: Plus I don't like most fo Bizarre's solo shit, and I think Kon artis is better on beats. Swifty and Kuniva are good, not as good as Eminem, but good too.

Yeah I cannot help myself! First song I ever heard of D12 was Shit On You and while Em totally outshined the rest of D12 on that track I was still intrigued by the other members! Then I started searching Kazaar for they shit and found The Slim Shady EP & other Misc. songs featuring members of D12 and starting liking they shit more & more!...and then Devil's Night came out and I was like WTF these dudes CRAZY, not just Em but all of them - I thought Fuck these dudes can actually rap! From that release on I have made it my mission to get every piece of D12 related material I can get my hands on(THERE IS A FUCKLOAD :sweating: it is a BIG task!)! I LOVE D-TWIZZY FOR LIFE! Peace.
"Opening the book with Proof's chapter was real important for me," Eminem says. "Everything from my past moving into my future is marked by his passing. It's sort of like life when Proof was with us, and life after -- a real dividing factor. He means more to me than a book chapter could describe, but I'm glad I was able to put him first, like he did for me so many times." - THAT IS SOME REAL SHIT RIGHT THERE - FUCK YEAH - BIG PROOF 4 EVER!!!

No no lets not kid ourselves here...We all know we`re not gonna buy a New d12 Album that only have ( kon artist,kuniva,swifty,bizarre ) It`ll totally be the end of D12 if that happens
Without eminem D12 would be Unknown Even with proof in d12 , Cause Em is the one who brought them to the world..
I love D12 with all my heart but the sad truth is D12 without eminem is nothing special at all Even g-unit are better

You cant say "we all know" - you aint speaking for everyone Evil G3n1us - it is all opinions and yours is that of above - but totally true bout the Em brought D12 to the world thing - but if Em had of been a solo artist the whole time do you think he would have came out on top? NO - D12 brought that gangsta/thug/street appeal that alot of people would have liked and also had his back on ALOT of his beefs(especially Proof)! also w/out D12 he would be less rich cuz both Devil's Night and D12 World went platinum! So dont say "we all" think this or "we all" think that! It is all opinions/mixed with fact but you can never speak for everyone dude!
