Both the dirty and clean versions are terrible. The singles on this album are more edited than the TV versions. In the "Mosh" video, they only censor the F word. On the album version, they censor words such as "strapped with an AK-47" or "ass-crack", and more, and are both played uncensored on MTV and BET. Also on Toy Soldiers, they censor "killed" and "murdered" and allow it in the video. It is the worst Eminem album ever released and should have the same edited versions as the ones on TV
The album is very good. But it's not what I expected. The Clean version isn't that good.
Curtains Up- It's okay...if you listen closely you can hear him humming the chorus to Evil Deeds.
Evil Deeds- Very good song, I have no idea what it's about though. He talks about how there's always a crowd where he goes and his fame is always on.
Never Enough- I never really paid attention to the track. I sometimes get Nate Dogg and 50 cent's voices mixed up. Em talks about how he's fast pacing.
Yellow Brick Road- Basically about his life before he blew up and became a rap star.
Like Toy Soldiers- A Benzino-Murder Inc.- Shady Records truce. Em talks about how he doesn't want to be involved and doesn't want anyone to get killed over something silly.
Mosh- Very nice track. It focuses on the corruption George W. Bush has put upon America. Also about the War on Terror.
Puke- He talks about Kim, he talks about how much he hates her. The is one of two tracks on this album that isn't backmasked too much.
My 1st Single- Doesnt' really have a topic. In the first verse, he raps about how he can't top the sellings of the Eminem Show
Paul- Just a plain old skit about the issue with the Just Lose It video and Michael Jackson.
Rain Man- One of the stupid nonsence songs. I like it a little. Pretty pointless and is a waste of space.
Big Weenie- He talks about how people are jealous of him and green of envy.
Em calls Paul- Eminem has one of those cybertron voices and calls Paul about the Just Lose It thing. He uses alot of M. Jackson's song titles as well.
Just Lose It- A hit of course. The song that sounds like Without Me, which sounds like the Real Slim Shady, which sounds like My Name is. One of two tracks that isn't backmasked.
A** Like That- Eminem has transformed into one of those rappers who has the booty shaking in his videos. Pretty funny but also pointless.
Spend Some Time- Would be the best song on the album if 50 cent didn't rap a verse. Eminem and Obie Trice killed it though.
Mockingbird- Alot of people consider this the most mature song on the album, which it is. But you get tired of it after a while.
Crazy in Love- It's about a girl of course. Not Kim though, some other girl that he's crazy about. One of the reasons I bought the song.
One Shot 2 shot- This is the reason you shouldn't buy the edited version. Every other word is blanked out! At the end of Eminem's verse, there is 6 seconds of JUST the beat because the took out his words.
Final Thought- With the clean version, the will leave you in the dark. He takes his gun out of his dressing room and puts it in his pocket and goes back on stage.
Encore- Sounds like it was supposed to be his last. He talks about he never wants to leave without saying good bye. Very good song and nice beat. The clean version deletes the end of the track, where he shoots up the crowd with the gun that he got in Final Thought, and shoots himself in the mouth.
Bonus Disc!
We As Americans- Good song. When you listen to it you'll say " They should have put this on the original disc! " But it doesn't fit there. I can't imagine this on the original disc. It's too mature, while the others are mostly pointless. It's about nothing really. In one of the verses, he says he set precedents and would rather see the president dead.
Love you More- Many people don't like it. I like the end of the 3rd verse. It is about Kim, just like most of his hit records, he kills her. But he shoots her, though that is unknown in the Clean Version.
Ricky Ticky Toc- Talking about he's rap career, and saying he'll explode and have another episode where he let's it got as far as the one with Benzino did.
i was really looking forward to the hardcore rapper eminem, this cd is way edited (anything bad even A$$ is edited). he plays around alot in this cd but some tracks still remind me of the old eminem. there is no where near as many cursewords in his tracks as it used to be. even tho this cd wasn't what i excepted its still a great buy and would recomend it to any eminem fan. it never gets old to listen 2.
I was very disappointed by this CD. I so much enjoyed its predecessor that I had high hopes for this one. Hopes that were soundly dashed. There are few memorable tracks on this one, and it really sounds a lot like just more of the same. He has wicked talent. Don't know what happened to it this time though.
