    Em's singles are mostly crap BUT are exactly what were needed to promote the album. Singles are all about promotion and marketing and when you think of My name is, Without Me etc... they did an excellent job.

    I always hated the old first single formula. Casual music fans would hear those goofy pop songs and assume that's what his entire album sounded like. But I will admit that they were always very successful for some reason, even though I thought the songs were crap.

    No ones been able to create hype with the impending release of 1 song like he has. I think every first single has done its job besides the awful s--- that is We Made You

    personally I would love another Berzerk. Something with that energy and a catchy as f--- hook. Berzerk still stands out as one of my favourite MMLP2 songs tbh.

    Let's bring it back to that vintage slim b----

    I agree with u 100% Eminem is the man. I'm not afraid was definitely one of my favorites along with when I'm gone, beautiful, monster, and so on. He is the best rap artist out there and no one will ever compete with him. 100% real

    That's why he is a bigger legend than any other hip hop artist the way his music transcended beyond hip hop into pop culture

    I also think Not Afraid is by far the best first single of his career. :emoji_sunglasses:

    what is wrong with you people, Aside from We made you and berzerk, the 1st singles are some of the best songs on their respected albums
