D12 is superstar Eminem's collaboration project with his old friends. The group existed before Eminem himself was famous. In the early days, all band members made a promise to help each other should anyone ever get solo success. Eminem already fulfilled that promise with the debut album Devil's Night (2001) and now again with the follow-up D12 World. The album doesn't deviate that much from Eminem's
… solo work. He himself can mainly be heard in the choruses, with the catchy vocal lines that we are used to from him. Outliers are My Band (the single that made it to the charts) and Bizarre. The first song shows that there is a lot of room for humor in the hip-hop of D12, as befits an old group of friends. This album proves that D12 is clearly more than just Eminem. All rappers have enough skills to go solo. (JdD)more
