Jun 21, 2024 I really don't get the thinking behind it. First I assumed they sorta have a boomer mindset so want to do it slower because they overestimate the people's attention span but even for that it's been pretty long since the single. At least they could give us a cover or release date.
Jun 21, 2024 And yet it's better than any Eminem single that's been released post TES. Quality > Quantity
Jun 21, 2024 Obviously Em doesn't care about having a number 1 single. He doesn't do payola like these other artists. Their strategy is based upon album sales, popularity charts can be manipulated.
Jun 21, 2024 You guys are just impatient. Houdini is a way bigger hit than what they imagined. Feedback dictates sales strategy. Houdini was dipping the toes into controversial waters to see how the world would respond.
Jun 21, 2024 They obviously care again since they went back to regular rollouts. They just aren't very smart (Em and Paul) that's why they run two s-----y labels lol
Jun 21, 2024 Now they need another good single to make noise again and pretty much restart the rollout.
Jun 21, 2024 Em is the top selling rapper of all time but they aren't very smart? You just don't understand projections and budget. Why would they do more for Houdini if it already outperformed and outsold projections? Gives them more money to promote better singles. Houdini is following the same exact trajectory as Not Afraid(peep below), except it debuted at #2 vs.#1.
Jun 21, 2024 They barely try. Let's see if they have another big song to create hype of they just wasted it.
Jun 21, 2024 Eminem is talented and hardworking, that we know for a fact. To be honest, we don't know much about his intelligence, though. I fell like he is ironically quite shy about his opinions and thoughts on some matters. He keeps it to himself. The exception was his hatred towards Trump.
Jun 21, 2024 Hypes dead! Rollout sucks and now the entire forum knows that Interscope will be focused on Camila next week. Nothing until 1st week of july
Jun 21, 2024 Maybe that was just a pre-rollout serving to remind people of Eminem and we are in for the proper, faster rollout with the second single and some actual promo. Let's be honest – this single is purposely misleading, as it was the case with Without Me. We know the album isn't gonna be a comedy. This one will probably be quite serious as TES. They haven't revealed officially what the album will be about. Not even a cover which would probably give away something. They must have a lot more in store for us.
