    Def! He is a different force, hopefully he will get some more appreciation by Detroiters now, i think he would value that

    Completely different songs, but Em shouting dad jokes on a track with a pop singer on the hook is NOT better than Tobey

    People are so mad at the choice for a second single they’re coming out with some wild takes lol

    No. I mean that he lets Tobey have a couple of weeks. Releases the album. There's the initial hype, he does good first week numbers, as usual. Then a week in to it being out, so 3 after Tobey, he picks a strong song from the album to put out that not only keeps people talking about him past the first week, but also catches the ear of anyone that hasn't given his album a listen when they hear it on the radio or see the video on YouTube. It won't be a song like this, but LTWYL wasn't put out as a single until Recovery was officially out. And it clearly helped sales and relevance. If he is hiding another nostalgia song, or a feature with Billie Eilish/Weeknd, etc then it would be the smart time to release it.

    Majority of the hate because they wanted "more Em". Meanwhile, the beat, rhymes, flows, and vocals are fire. A true fan of Hip Hop can't objectively hate on Tobey.

    In terms of how Tobey fits into the album, I’d imagine the previous track would reference people saying Em doesn’t do enough for Detroit & their rappers or whatever and then you get Tobey where he lets them shine

    Then towards the end of the Em verse where he says he’s the GOAT, I’d imagine that leads into the next song like Greatest

    The ‘Shady gone’ lyric is probably a double entendre for being crazy & from a track earlier where I assume Shady gets killed. Maybe not as cohesive and thematic as some of you all want, but it could loosely work

    Not ideal but let’s just wait for the album before making massive judgements

    I didn't say it was mate. I was talking about him saving strong singles for the album already being out. Probably wasn't clear.

    On another note, Recovery's singles were on a weird schedule outside of LTWYL. Not Afraid came out 2 months before the album, and they promoted nothing but that. Then they did No Love months and months later. Then they did Space Bound a full on year after.
