Heavy stuff

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Hellbound is some truly dark stuff -- this was put out when he was still doing the Marshall Mathers EP style violent burn-you-and-smoke-the-ashes thing. The joint is pretty solid -- J-Black and Masta Ace round out the song really well -- but I think Eminem sets the tone for the entire song. Set around a really heavy groove with a Tupac sample in the middle/chorus, Hellbound is in my opinion the only real reason to get the single. The other two songs are kind of goofy and not in keeping with the Em/J-Black/Masta Ace joint. To be honest, the single is the best part of the whole "Game Over" mix that this single is from. But you gotta decide for yourself...."
