    The first time I heard D12 was their single Purple Pills and from that moment I felt drawn to the group because they all seemed to stand out (Bizarre stood out for the wrong reasons)

    When Devils Night was released I was impressed with how solid it was. The dark theme and guitar really suited the group and it seemed almost like alternative rap. They had a proper identity and they used it well.

    Then 2004 came and after hearing one of the most corniest, forceful songs I've ever heard (My Band) which pretty much cemented my anticipation for the album. Minus a few good tracks the album seemed forceful and corny without a real concept and it seemed like they lost thier identity they used to have.

    If they have any chance of regaining popularity is to do exactly what they did when Devils Night was released.

    D12 World was fine. Devil's Night was a classic.

    Devil's Night (the edit without Bizarre) is a classic, D12 World had like 4 good tracks. I get what you mean.

    besides the fat stan I was referring to the weird creature child thing and santabob

    I thought he was @Final at first, because I've had his avy adblocked for a while now. then for a moment I read the 'i' in rapmusik as an 'l' and thought Final had cloned rapmusik :sweatt: still an annoying avi actually lol
