    Chad Warden As Ballin As Possible

    THIS. SO. MUCH

    Em literally got bullied by Stans just because he went horrorcore when horrorcore wasn't hot.

    Chad Warden's reaction to Not Afraid was positive. It's not Chad Daddy's type of Em song, but it was necessary, that song fits Recovery well.

    Chad has this burning hatred of MMLP2. No Eminem album disapointed Chad Warden, s---, the high points of Encore >>>> the high points of MMLP2.

    All that Skylar Grey influenced bs can s--- Chad's Big Weenie.

    Off the heels of Relapse and the infamous Arabian accent, fans had no hope in Eminem's next project. Other than Beautiful, he literally disappointed Stans in every way possible.

    Expectations were at an all time low.



    Eminem then announces Recovery and drops a single: Not Afraid. It was as close to Lose Yourself 2 as we'll ever get. Fans went nuts. Celebrities were tweeting lyrics. Everyone loved it. It became just the 16th song to debut #1 on Billboard's Hot 100.





    Obviously looking back, it's filled with corny lyrics and forced inspirational metaphors. But in 2010, Not Afraid was what the Stan brigade needed. I listened to it on repeat for a week, mostly just ecstatic Eminem released a normal sounding song again (the same way I'd feel about a normal release today). Not Afraid is overcriticized. I prefer this type of Eminem over Phenomenal, but that's just me.

    f--- off if you're going to act like you didn't enjoy Not Afraid at its release.

    No lie, it got me into Eminem's music (and rap music in general). I heard it on the radio a lot and really liked it, so I began to listen to Eminem more and more.

    I still like the song, especially the bridge before the third verse, but I can recognize that the music he put out in the early 2000s is a million times better.

    I thought it was f---ing a---, cause I was one of the few who enjoyed Relapse.
