Apr 9, 2024 I agree, it’s mostly labels and some skitzo artists (Nicki M. and DJ K.) seem to really care. My guess is that it’s about measuring impact and first impressions? I don’t see many lay people or fans caring about it though. I find it an interesting metric just because, but it really doesn’t mean anything. Like you said, Long term promo and album quality really makes the difference as a fan, that’s what maintains hype and interest in the long run. Probs Dua will have more first week sales this album because of her last ones long term success
Apr 9, 2024 Unfortunately, some people enjoy seeing the hype on social media/these forums when it drops. That makes any album release better. Doesn't hit the same if you wake up and listen to it the next day. I speak for all fans when I say we are tired of staying up every Thursday!
Apr 9, 2024 Maybe you shouldn't invest so much time and energy in an artist and take a good night sleep on Thursdays lol.Wake up friday morning,drink a cup of coffee,have a nice breakfast and then you blast those motherfucking speakers!!! Start the day fresh with fresh Eminem is definitely better than being tired and not able to catch the lyrics he spitting because your brain is fried.
Apr 9, 2024 They'll say it was ill right? The way I killed mics, but the way I feel right now - it jus feels like... I'm so done with the s--- that...... I may as well.... Wipe.
Apr 9, 2024 That's not what I'm saying lol. It's fun to be awake when the album drops to see the hype and online reactions. Its just my opinion but seeing reactions when Kami dropped on Twt, Kendrick's diss, many more examples. It doesn't hit the same the next day, sadly!
Apr 9, 2024 I never read/look at reactions until after I’ve heard an album cos I don’t want my opinions to be influenced either way lol
Apr 9, 2024 I've said this before about countless other Eminem hooks but No Apologies' might be his best. No apologies! Nah, suckers, I'm not sorry You can all sue me, y'all could be the cause of me No apologies! Y'all feelin' the force of me No remorse for me, like there was no recourse for me Nah, no apologies! Not even acknowledging you at all 'Til I get a call that God's coming No apologies! Laugh, f---ers, it's all funny I can spit in your face while you're standin' across from me No apologies!
Apr 9, 2024 Yeah, I’m never here while the album is dropping because I don’t want to hear anyone’s opinions or get spoiled somehow lol. Although it sounds fun
