Review

'Devil's Night' came out swinging in 2001, serving up the kind of raw, unfiltered energy that made D12 more than just Eminem's sidekicks. This Detroit collective dropped a bomb on the Billboard 200, snatching that #1 spot with their signature blend of dark humor and straight-up hostility. With Eminem and Dr. Dre behind the boards, the production hits hard – gritty beats that perfectly match the group's don't-give-a-damn attitude and explicit bars.

The album's title nods to Detroit's infamous arson tradition, which fits perfectly with how these guys set fire to hip-hop conventions. Tracks like 'Purple Pills' and 'Fight Music' weren't just controversial for controversy's sake – they showcased D12's talent for crafting hooks that stick in your head while they're flipping the bird to mainstream sensibilities. Sure, critics were divided, but that's exactly what happens when you refuse to water down your content. Early 2000s hip-hop doesn't get much more authentically provocative than this collection of Detroit's finest doing what they do best. - Livia
