Quote from: JohnnyL on April 29, 2010, 08:17:19 AM I like the track, and I like that after 5 studio albums, Em is finally ready to drop the gimmicky first single that had kind of become a tradition for him. I think that decision will please hardcore Eminem fans, although I'm not sure how the more casual fans will react to it. Personally, I think it's the right direction for him to be moving. I actually wasn't a big detractor of "Relapse." However, one of my criticisms of it was that "We Made You," seemed too jokey to really fit the tone of the rest of the album. It seemed like, in that case Eminem felt the need to put the "obligatory" gimmick single on there, even though it didn't really jibe with the rest of the album. With this song though, I don't get that sense at all. That line on here about "Relapse" was interesting too. It seems as though Eminem is his own worst critic. But I definitely prefer that to him acting like "Relapse" was a perfect album. And the absence of the now infamous "accent" makes me think he is making a conscious effort to listen to his fans. Overall, I'm happy with the way this track turned out. I can't say Em knocked this one out of the park. But I would consider this a big step in the right direction. I liked the chorus. The beat was nice. And Eminem's lyrics were straight forward and to the point, rather than relying on accents or jokes about celebrities and pop culture. I hope the rest of the album follows suit.did we listen to the same album?

I really like the relapse album, and think it's kinda shitty that he disses it.. How about dissing Encore, that album was his worst Imo (and I'm a eminem fan)..The single is good, but I'm not the biggest fan of the beat.. It will probably grow on me..Can't wait for recovery though.. He means it was bad because of his rapping and the accent in particular.As for this song, mid way through first listen I wanted to hate, but it's growing on me. I just wish he only did the rapping. I don't need to hear Em sing the chorus or the bridge. Mid range Don't Cry Axl Rose would have been great doing the singing on this track and wit the content it would mean something too.

I don't see how anyone can call this pop. This beat is simple but decent. Reading the comments, I expected a poppy ass hook - sure he sings the chorus but it's not cheesy or poppy. The singing before the 3rd verse was a bit unnecessary but this joint is pretty fucking hot VERY different than Em's typical 1st singles.Least he knows the accent was stupid and Relapse was eyy lol
Sick - feel the beat (simple but the effects/keys work nice) feel his voice (apart from the 2.50 bit but fuck it its a single)Feel the content - its the Em we all want. He even acknowledges it...."and to the fansill never let you down againim backi promise to not go back on that promisein fact lets be honest that last relapse CD was ehhhhh"PROPS TO EM

In fact, I think in the grand scheme of things, going with a more conventional single might prove to be a risky move, sales-wise. I think this single will please the more avid Eminem fans. But in the past, Eminem's first singles with all of their references to pop culture, have kind of been the "hook" that has drawn in the more casual fans. Personally, I really like this new single. I'm just not sure it will have the same cross-over appeal with the casual rap fans. But I guess time will tell.
Relapse was a very dope album, EM showing he has no conviction by turning his back on his own work because some people didn't like Relapse
