Take From Me does absolutely nothing for me. Eminem's angry about the leaking, so he yells at the top of his lungs about it with a poorly crafted flow.
Loud Noises is just horrible. Crooked's forced multis. Yawn. Eminem's yelling voice that sounds the same on every song.
Welcome 2 Hell: A nice, dark beat. Yeah okay, I'll concede that Eminem's flow is pretty impressive here in parts. But his fast rapping is so tired. His rhyming is a little more crisp/better placed here, and there are some nice rhymes.
Finally a back-and-forth at the end that doesn't sound like total shit.
Above the Law: Chorus gives it an Almost Famous kind of feel. His yelling seems to fit this beat. So does Royce's. Very intense delivery. Yet again, he's going too fast.
A Kiss: Garbage beat. Who made this? Can't expect ANYONE to rap well over this. Boring beat-riding. Liked Eminem's delivery on this, though. Different, and a welcome change. Some decent rhyming...shame it's wasted on repetitive content/puns.
Overall: if you like Eminem yelling at you so fast about cunts and whores that you can't understand him, this is the perfect EP for you.
Yeah, Em's flow on Take From Me is pathetic

. Probably one of his worst performances since 2007's Touchdown (just my opinion). That song was definitely out of a spontaneous idea in the studio & probably Em didn't have time to craft his lyrics.
Loud Noises is garbage

,its just a bunch of skilled MCs rapping fast. The song does not have a theme to bank on & ultimately its just not cohesive - definitely one of the weaker tracks on the EP. No replay value on that.
"A Kiss" just sounds repetitive & unimpressive.
And as many of you have been saying that there's TES Eminem on the EP, you couldn't be more farther away from the truth. Eminem has changed & so has his voice - with all the drugs and Red Bull/Diet Coke he chugs (my opinion only). But the man is probably the greatest the game has seen & as an Eminem fan I would just like to see the brighter side of his material now.
Best tracks :
Fast Lane
Above The Law
