Sep 16, 2022 So what I don't get is that em says Castle and arose are honestly two of the best songs he's ever written and apparently half the people didn't sit through revival to get to them.. so how come he didn't put them on curtain call 2? he is literally on a podcast promoting this compilation of hits and best songs talking about these 2 tracks. It makes it seem like he didn't even get a say in which songs were going on cc2 tracklist lol
Sep 16, 2022 “We just want a new album” Meanwhile we get….. *Curtain Call 2* *Paul Pod* *Is This Love promotion* *NFT promotion* *Nickelodeon music video at MTV VMA’s* *Random pics and interview on XXL mag*
Sep 16, 2022 Just seen some of his comments on his podcast: It’s a shame that he feels that way about Revival with his incessant need to defend it, but he needs to understand that Castle & Arose (+ WoW & Believe) were the good-great standout tracks of the album. We’re not disappointed in you for dropping those songs, but rather the other ~12 boring, uninspired, lifeless & plain tracks. Although people obviously do need to cut him some slack. I don’t think people realise how insane it is to have this many peoples opinions on anything he drops.. ..You’ve got people who love everything he does; people who hate everything; casual listeners who don’t really care but hate anyway; Stan’s who are obsessed with his prime & won’t let it go & let him create with his current mindset/abilities; people in his circle who are yes men; rappers who are on features with him being too scared to say they don’t like it b/c he’s their idol (esp. w/ fast rapping); old friends (Joe Budden) hating on every move because he’s an ‘easy target’; the younger generation not caring much about him/dismissing how great he was; YouTubers reacting to features going crazy. All those polarising views must seriously warp your perception of yourself & the music you’re putting out. It’s easy for us to say ‘Em should do this, do that etc.’ from an outside perspective but Em must be in some weird bubble. And with his addictive personality & his obvious caring for his public image, it must be hard to him to not read stuff on the internet all the time (I know you’ve visited this forum before, so if you’re reading this Em, wassup). It’s just a real shame that he’s chosen to be a better ‘rapper’ instead of musician, as if those things didn’t coexist back in the early 2000’s to make him one of the greatest.
Sep 16, 2022 Yeah it was a longer post than intended lol but I’d rather read someone’s genuine thoughts than some of the s--- that’s posted on a regular here/people getting annoyed bc nothing dropped on a random Friday. It’s a forum & people should at least try to have genuine conversations
Sep 16, 2022 Gtfo. It's a greatest hits album, not best tracks. Love the way you lie nowhere near the being best track on Recovery let alone second part of his career but it was the biggest one. Do I really need to make this clear lmao... If anything, we should be asking him why they didn't choose to promote those 2 songs as singles, why not s---t a video for them ? Why push some other unsuccessful s--- like Untouchable instead ? Since he feels like those 2 were the best songs he has ever written, why not try to make em shine ?! Same can be asked about Believe, it was obviously the fan favorite and never got pushed or promoted a bit. Sorry but your comment is very very illogical lmao.
Sep 16, 2022 Good. Music first and foremost. I’m sure he will do concerts again. Bin TV performances.
Sep 16, 2022 Castle And Arose are great songs but not single worthy are they? Very personal songs that were obviously placed as the last two tracks for a reason. Not to gain streams or be popular, so your comment is illogical too. Most of the best songs on his albums are not singles or were promoted as such.
Sep 16, 2022 Performances are available for everyone on Youtube unlike his shows. You can't even watch a full performance by Em since it's not allowed these days, just s-----y fan recordings. You guys also still fap to his cyphers on Tim Westwood TV And he also should do some interviews with someone that's not from his camp, it sucks seeing Paul pretty much answer the questions for Em. Give me a Big Boy interview for example.
Sep 16, 2022 But I can go to his show, as can thousands of people. It’s a live experience and no better way to hear his music which I have done multiple times. I get no enjoy from watching a awkward interview on a s-----y tv chat show or him performing a medley of songs all on a random set. Pointless. Many performances like that on YouTube.
Sep 16, 2022 Congrats, and performances on TV/Radio can be enjoyed worldwide. And you act like he "tours" a lot and visits a lot of countries lol. Old Em does 4 shows every few years.
Sep 16, 2022 Wrong again. He been everywhere before the pandemic. No one is listening to radio or watching TV any more Marsh……. The year is 2022, pal.
Sep 16, 2022 And where does all that stuff end up? Youtube. Everyone watches stuff on Youtube And how many shows has he had since MTBMB? Any shows this year? That's why you guys call anything promo lol only big fans checking for a Paul podcast lol
Sep 16, 2022 My point is valid, those songs didn't belong there and you can argue why they are there, greatest hits are greatest hits, those songs are not even hits let alone being a greatest. I knew some dumbass will come up with that non sense. But just because they did put some bs songs on a greatest hits album doesn't make it right or logical lmao. Plus, I don't remember any other greatest hits album having songs besides hits and singles except that one anyway. First Curtain call certainly didn't have any. (Except the 3 new songs which we also got with that one too, that could work bc maybe those new songs can become hits too and they were promoted like singles anyway..)
