One Hell of a Night

A Review by

Goc & Vigilante


As you expected, we at GYEAH.com got our hands on D-12 Devil's Night and we haven't played anything since. We didn't get a new Eminem CD this spring, but no one really expected one. Instead we got the first official offering from his group D-12. We at GYEAH.com fought over who got to review this beauty, and me and Vigilante decided we would do it as a duo. So without further delay, here are our impressions of Devil's Night:

ANOTHER PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT – Like every Eminem album, there is a skit from the lovely Public Service Announcer. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't make it through his normal speech, as he gets knocked out by the D-12 announcer. He then tells us what we are to expect from  D-12. Hilarious.

"God Dammnit, if you would've just stayed still nothing would've happened to ya. It just goes to show that when ya fuck around with us...sh*t can happen."

Track Rating: $0.75

SHIT CAN HAPPEN D-12 talks about the basic statement that applies to any and everything that goes wrong..."shit happens". Kuniva, Kon Artist, Swifty and Em break open on the first track with a solid track, but compared to the rest of the album it ends up being one of the weaker tracks on the album.

"With a Luger that'll spit fire. And hit higher than a pitch by a b*tch like Mariah."

"Ever since I spit some sh*t on "Infinite", I've been giving it 110 percent."

$1.75

PISTOL PISTOL Detroit represents to the fullest on this track, as Eminem proves once again that he creates some of the most heartfelt hooks known to man. On this track D-12 talks about their stories on how they can't go anwyhere without their pistols. This is Vigilante's favorite track.

"Too many enemies on my list to sit through. Nobody got my back in this b*tch, but this do. Sorry officer, I don't care how pissed it gets you. But I don't go nowhere without my pistol pistol"

"It'll make Ike stop beating Tina. It'll make Slim Shady, fall back in love with Christina."

$4.25

BIZARRE (Skit) The resident D12 nast ass Bizarre gets his own skit. Here Bizarre hangs out with one of Kuniva's girls while he makes a run to the store for some blunts and 40's. He then releases some gases from his rear, as he tries to get his mack on. Pretty funny, and a great lead in to the next track.

"Girl chill out, that came from my soul."

$0.50

NASTY MIND For the fans of D12, and the freaks out there...the boys talk about what goes down inside their nasty ass minds. Funny ass ish.

"If you want me, and ain't out screaming about your monthly. I'll be sticking your pretty ass until you turn ugly."

"Yo I know I'm dogmatic, but yo pussy walls done had it. Its evident that you been fuckin like a jack rabbit."

$3.00

AIN'T NUTTIN' BUT MUSIC – The beat on this track is very Mtv friendly in the way "Real Slim Shady" was, but the lyrics on here would never allow it to be even considered as being aired on that station. As every MTV personality is mentioned and given a new ass hole to release their waste from. No one is safe! I have just found the funniest track I've heard in about 5 years.

"This just in, Britney just dissed Justin. She just fucked Ben . Got tit fucked and dick sucked him. If Affleck can get his ass licked. How come I can't, shit. God damn bitch, I'm rich. I can't understand this!"

"So all the Indepenent Women in the house (hey). Show us your tits, and shut your motha fuckin mouth.(why?)"

"What's going on in the world today, people fighting, fuedin, looting..its ok. Let it go, let it flow, let the good time's roll. Tell em Dre ("It Ain't Nuttin' But Music)."

$3.75

AMERICAN PSYCHO A track named after several Gyeah.com staff member's favorite film. This track must be off the hook, and I'm here to tell you it certainly is. Em and the rest of D12 take you into the dark crevices of their brain as they tell the psychotic stories that  run through their minds.

"So lock your doors, drop to the floors. Get your shotguns drawn, here comes another Clockwork Orange. "

"And I ain't got no food, my job I been cheated. My girlfriend had a miscarriage (I'm sorry).  I had to eat it."

$3.75

THAT'S HOW (Skit) - We meet D12 while they are performing at a concert when someone in the audience throws something on stage. One of the members of D12 calls him out, and the man talks ish. D12 get a hold of him, and make him pay for his ignorance.

"That's how nigga's get f*cked up"

$0.25

THAT'S HOW – The epitome of a get hype song here, and Eminem isn't even rapping on this track. Here, D12 goes over a list of things that will cause people to get "fucked up". This song is now known as Vigilante's anthem.


"No love at home wit you kinfolk, and the world just keep fuckin wit yo' mental. And all these kids making fun of your trench coat. That's how students get shot up."

"Choking your wife all in front of your peeps. She toss a brick through the window of your jeep. They back together by the end of the week. That's so sweet. Slim and Kim argue too much."

$4.50

PURPLE PILLS – The track that most of your internet heads have already heard. It somehow got leaked first, and I've been digging it for quite a while now.  Everytime I take my stomach pills, I'm singing this track like a  crazy man. Not quite the pills, they're talking about...but it works for me. Some bastards are going to call this track too "sing-songy," but Eminem on a hook can pull off things that other rappers can't get away with.

"I been to mushroom mountain, once or twice...but who's counting?"

$3.50

FIGHT MUSIC - Need a track to release all that built up frustration you have inside of you. D12 has created the track for you. This is the track you listen to when you want to cause confusion, just act stupid, and NOT do what the authority tells you to.

"I suffocated my shrink just for talkin. Came back and fucked up his pall bearers, and made em drop his coffin. Its Fight Music!"

"I came to save these new generations of babies, from parents  who failed to raise them cause their lazy. To grow to praise me and makin em go crazy. That's how I got this whole nation to embrace me."

$4.25

INSTIGATOR – Swifty McVeigh takes over the majority of this track, but that only makes sense considering the title is taken from some of his lines off The Marshall Mathers LP.  Some might not dig McVeigh as much as the others, but I like this track for a specific reason...personally I consider myself being an "instigator" in every sense of the word. I'm scrawny and am one hell of a shit talker. I can see myself quoting this one in the future. It may take a while to grow on ya, but eventually you'll give in.

"With these cherry hot slugs that will barbecue your ribs."

$1.75

PIMP LIKE ME – It's pretty damn weird to me to hear D-12 rapping straight "gangsta shit" like this song. It's something you would expect on Snoop or Dre albums...but D-12? I wasn't expecting some pimp tunes, and the Eminem loving ladies are going to think again next time they swoon. I love it. The woman from Eminem's "Drug Ballad" is back singing a part of the hook. She has one hell of a voice and it's perfect for this song.  A little slow, but a bad ass track that will get the boys singing in a drunken rage.

"So what if you're on your period, blood never hurt nobody."

$2.50

BLOW MY BUZZ – The hook sounds like some E40 type shit, with lots of funky voices and shouting, but I have a special place in my heart for E40...so I'm digging it. Bizarre drops some more crazy ass lyrics. If this guy was as big as Eminem, the whole world would be trying to censor him. This is one of my least favorite songs on the CD, but that doesn't mean it's not good ish. In a few months, every mark will be quoting this song at parties. Mark my words.

"When you end up becoming so dependent on weed, you end up spending a G on the vending machine."

$2.00

OBIE TRICE (Skit)This is more than just a skit, it's got a few verses from Obie Trice, who claims to be the newest signee to Shady Records. Personally, I've never heard of this guy before, but damn I recogonize now. He only drops about 30 seconds of rhymes, but it's damn impressive. Damn impressive. But still, it's just too short to get me too wet.

"Mr. Trice, the name has occured in your conversation, but the face is a blur."

$0.75

DEVIL'S NIGHT – The title track, something Eminem rarely partakes in. But this isn't Em's CD, this is D-12 and they all own this track. This song is full of verbal carnage and D-12 proves that they're more than 'Eminem's crew' and are full fledged icons in their own right. I have no more doubts...none. You won't either after this track.

"It's Devil's Night, cause I came back to rule this time. Cause I came back to take what's mine."

$3.00

STEVE BERMAN (Skit) An Eminem CD wouldn't be an Eminem CD without Steve Berman on it. I hope that this bastard is around for every single CD, 'cause his skits just keep getting more hilarious each time. Like always, he's snapping on Eminem about his content, and I'm not usually a skit mark...but I LOVE IT!

"Do you just fucking hate me? What have I ever done to you?....This D12 album is fucked! I don't want to rape my grandmother! I don't want to have sex with pit bulls. I want to roll on dubs. I want to throw bows! I want to rock Prada!"

$0.75

REVELATION I think of this as a rap version of Alice Cooper's 'School's Out." If there was sleep, this would be bumping at high school graduations across the country. Each member of D-12 tells stories from their childhood, which are far from happy tales. One hell of an interesting song, that isn't going to leave my CD player for a long, long time. Every member gets his time on the mic, and there isn't one weak spot. A great final chapter for an amazing CD.

"Gangsta rap made me act like a maniac."

"When the principal would tell me I was nothing and I wouldn't amount to shit. I made my first million and counted it. Now look it. A fucking drop out, stupid as shit and proud of it."

$4.25


Bonus Track (Limp Bizkit Diss) Anyone wondering why Eminem didn't give Fred Durst props at the MTV Music Awards? Here's you answer. Em rips a hole into DJ Lethal and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, and I can't wait till they say something back. Oh wait, they're nothing but girls...so they won't. This track is hot.

"Ya'll some girls (Ya'll is some god damn girls). Why do you act this way?(Why do you act this way?) Why do you act like fuckin sissies, you pussies keep talkin shit behind my back, you just some bitches for that. And we all know (we all know), how fuckin cowards roll (keep ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN). And fuckin with me and pretend to be down, but as soon  as the song calls you out you put your tail between your legs and run around."

"Next time I'll know when someone's copying off me, I'm not being cocky, I just know when someone's blockin me. I stick up my middle finger, he sticks up his finger. I say fuck Christina, he says fuck Christina but meaner.So from doing a song with Meth, and to begging to get excepted. I'm peggin Fred with the bottle of dye that he bleached his head with."

"And Fuck Bizkit, cause I know you're saying fuck D12. Only not to our face...under you breath, to yourselves."

$5.00

Eminem has managed to continue his incredible work ethic for music, while maintaining his edge and humor that got him their in the first place. This time around, he brings his 5 pals from Detroit along to create 6 times the carnage and mayhem that Em could do by himself. There is no limit to the number of people that will be disturbed and pissed off by the things that D12 say.  In other words, "Devil's Night" get its job done and will make any true hip hop fan very proud. BUY THIS ALBUM ON THE 19TH OF JUNE!!!

Album worth: $50.25

Album price: $15.49
