I've read a lot of these reviews and I've learned this much......Amazon.com critics either get 1,000,000% behind an artist and hands them higher praise/stars than they really should be getting......or they do the exact opposite and just hate it for very childish reasons. Very few people speak on the actual CD, rather they bash Eminem/D12 rather than telling the reader what makes the CD so bad. I've seen reviews that gave this album 1 star because the reviewer prefers Esham instead.....or because he's a white man that hangs out with black men.....or because they're just die hard Ja Rule fans......or simply because he is who he is. Then you have those that give this album 5 stars if for no other reason than the fact that Eminem is associated in some way (we have a word for these two extremes where I'm from: Haters or D*ck Riders). Either way, none of these reviews are acurate and almost all of them fail to speak on the CD itself. This album isn't anywhere close to 5 stars, but it's not deserving of a 1 star either. "D12 World" is typical pop rap. Anyone that bought this album in search of anything else was a fool to begin with. The CD opens with Eminem spitting rhymes that would be ultra tight if they came from someone else, but Eminem (who has always been tight to me up until this point) has lost some steam and on this album it starts to show. I'll speak about the other group members, but as we all know....they don't really matter. Bizarre manages to bring the rating of this album down 2 stars all by himself. If you want some decent rhymes from someone other than Eminem, look for Kon Artis or Proof. Those two should break camp and start doing some solo stuff. There are tracks produced by Kanye West and Lil' Jon (who supplied a VERY weak beat for the "40 Oz." single), but for the most part, Eminem handles the production work and most of his beats sound the same. Don't get me wrong, I like his beats, but they can get REALLY repetitive. Most of the songs are VERY long and tend to be on the boring side. A perfect example would be "Loyalty" feat. Obie Trice. I love the beat and some of the lyrics are hot, but it's kind of long (5:54). If you strip this entire album of all the beats and just listened to the lyrics, you'd actually have a pretty wack album on your hands. The beats aren't really that tight either. And having Eminem perform every hook can be a bit tiresome. But on a positive note, it's a progression from the last album in the sense that they're not trying to "out gross" or "out shock" each other on this album like they were doing on the last LP. Overall, this is a middle of the road album. Like I said before, it's typical pop rap. If you expected something other than that, then the joke is on you. Pop heads will love it, but heads like me that want skills and substance are better off searching the underground for quality hip hop because there is none on this album. I would reccommend downloading this album instead of actually buying it though. Come to think of it, I would NEVER reccommend buying any album that has Bizarre rapping on it. He has NO SKILLS at all. But that's just my opinion. In my mind, if Eminem had never blown up like he did, you'd never hear from these guys (well maybe you'd hear from Proof and Kon Artis). This is a perfect example of how having a famous homie can get you a record deal instead of landing a deal with actual skills. Just ask Juelz Santana, him and the rest of the Dip Set are in the same boat.

Before I got this cd, I was expecting this to be one of the best cd's so far this year with all the hype behind it. When I picked it up and I heard the first 2 songs I thought it was gonna be but from there it went downhill even though the end does save it. Here is my rating of this cd, all scores out of 5.

1.Git Up-great intro it gets u into the cd, 5

21.Keep Talkin-bonus song dissing ja rule off of one of their mixtapes pretty good, 3.5

Man this cd sucked. I have to admit tho, there were a few really good songs, but just a Few..thats the only reason Im givin it even 2 stars. Most of the CD is a steamin pile of sh*t. But then again this is D12. What could you expect. They wuldnt be sh*t if it wasnt for Eminem. They shulda just made this an EP with about 5 songs. And "My Band" SUCKS!!! Why does everyone like it...its terrible. Its probly the worst song Eminem has ever made. It just makes him look bad. Im actually an Eminem fan, but he culda done without that song. The only songs i liked on this cd were "Git Up", "6 In The Morning", "How Come", "Get My Gun", and "40 Oz". "40 Oz" really stood out from the rest, and it was the first song I downloaded off the album, and i was surprised and thought it would be good. But when I heard the rest...well Im glad I didnt actually buy it. Just download those 5 songs I listed and maybe you'll like another one or 2. But overall, 5 outta 21 songs bein good is not cool. They shulda just made an EP and I probly woulda given it a 5...o well....& Im Out Like That

After resting for three years as a group, D12 represents once again as they continue to expand their skills. Although not as good as Devil's Night, which connects with the listener immediately and provides more gangsta rap, D12 World is extrememly good after carefully listening to its lyrics. Eminem continues to show that he is the best rapper out there, hands down. His creativity in his lyrics leave you in awe as he twists words in "Bitch," but his usual flowing talent comes out in "6 In The Morning." The songs that Shady does not appear in allow Swift and Proof to display thier skills as well. Bizarre has his moments as usual but improves as a lyricist in this album. Combining the talent of producing and rapping by Eminem, and the individual styles of the rest of D12, this group shows that they can still keep ears listening, even if you don't like D12. Shady Records well done.

Favorite Songs: 6 In The Morning, How Come, Bitch

This is a good CD. Devils night is better though.
