D12 World (Shady, 2004) by D12

The album starts off with an incredible rapid-fire verse from Eminem which sets the tone and momentum for the entire project.  It isn't quite as dark as Devil's Night, and that makes for a well-rounded release.  from the humorous "My Band" to the serious "Good Die Young," D12 World finds the six Detroit emcees in top form.  Overall, Eminem outperforms the other five.  However, on "Get My Gun" and "40 Oz.," the late, great Proof reigns supreme.  Production-wise, the sounds are varied.  Among others, producers include Red Spyda, Hi-Tek, and Dr. Dre.  The album shows growth from their debut, and since the group is now seemingly disbanded- I feel that D12 proved themselves as what they set out to be: shocking and skilled emcees.

Devil's Night (Shady, 2001) by D12

"If I could capture the rage of today's youth and bottle it/Crush the glass from my bare hands and swallow it/Then spit it back in the faces of you racists/and hypocrites who think the same shit but don't say shit/You Liberace's, Versace's, and you nazis/Watch me, cause you thinkin' you got me in this hot seat/You motherfuckers wanna JUDGE me cause you're NOT me/You'll never STOP me, I'm TOP speed as you POP me/I came to save these new generations of babies/from parents who failed to raise 'em cause they're lazy/to grow to praise me I'm makin 'em go crazy/That's how I got this whole nation to embrace me/And you fugazi if you think I'ma admit wrong/I cripple any hypocritic critic I'm sic'd on/And this song is for any kid who gets picked on/A sick song to retaliate to, and it's called.."                                                            -Eminem, "Fight Music"
