In fifteen years Eminem and his all star cast of emcees have managed to produce a body of work that should be envied by many other hip-hop factions. Offerings on the album include 12 all new songs with every member of Shady Records getting the opportunity to shine.

Eminem is featured on more than 50 percent of the tracks so fans who are looking for some fresh Eminem lyrics, you most certainly will not be disappointed.

Along with the new tracks fans will find 16 classics from members both old and new. Obie Trice, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Bobby Creekwater, Cashis and Stat Quo are the artists included in the classic 16 as well as Eminem, Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse.

Classics such as "Lose Yourself," "I Get Money," "Pop The Trunk," "The Setup" and "Hammer Dance" grace the 16 that will cause a nostalgia trip and a half.

Each piece strategically shows the growth of Shady from its raw beginnings to its ever evolving sound.

The album still manages to keep the listener engaged and it's almost as if it takes you back to that very moment in time where you first heard your favorite Shady artist. If the album isn't enough Eminem and DJ Whoo Kid came together to compile 66 songs both old and new for a free mixtape for all fans.

Featured on both the mixtape and album is the track titled, "Detroit Vs. Everybody," featuring Big Sean, Danny Brown, DeJ Loaf and Trick-Trick, as well as Eminem and Royce Da 5' 9".

These two pieces are a staple for any hip-hop fans who know how raw the Shady Records crew is lyrically.

Their body of work speaks for itself so the best advice that can be given is to listen to it for yourself.
