Dec 21, 2020 MTBMB definitely cemented 4th position in his discography. B Side to me doesn’t have the highs Side A does, but it’s more consistent & combined together, is an unbeatable selection against his post-hiatus projects. It’s still littered with a lot of modern Em issues but until they’re addressed, this is the best we’re getting.
Dec 21, 2020 Literally the state of Hip-Hop Twitter fans: And you guys still expect Eminem to be appreciated for what he is?.
Dec 21, 2020 How on earth did Em came with the Alfred's Theme instrumental? That's silly. It's the em from TES
Dec 21, 2020 Or - Apple Music and Spotify will become the new labels. Cutting deals with / funding, promoting artists in exchange.
Dec 21, 2020 Yeah but not if those hits are compromises, or formats. "Not Afraid" is a hit. "Rap God" is a hit. He doesn't need Rihanna. Or a pop star and a format.
Dec 21, 2020 Well, it's simple: Replace the obvious Skylar Gray feature with Rihanna and you won't compromise the original idea for the album and still get to have the best female singer you could hope for, which will guarantee a #1. If this album had Rihanna on either Side (maybe on Leaving Heaven or Black Magic) it would have hit much harder outside of the hardcore fanbase.
Dec 21, 2020 If he had replaced Skylar Grey by Rihanna or another actual star like Billie Eilish, the song would be THE hit
Dec 21, 2020 I don't really like the Rihanna collabs that much either though. Good songs overall but her singing is so... kind of... mainstream, it just sounds polished and... not Em. I think Jessie Reyez is the best on his hooks. Screw hits. Or, just try harder @ him to innovate or make new catchy s---, like 'Rap God' did or 'Without Me' did back in the day. Compromising is lazy. And an insult to your/his art.
Dec 21, 2020 I'm just looking at it from the business side. Personally I think Rihanna has the best vibe. But aside from personal tastes, when the average listener goes into Youtube or Twitter and sees "Rihanna and Eminem", it becomes an instant stream and trending hashtag which may also translate into a purchase.
