    now there is no doubt this is one of the most r-----ed roll outs to ever happen. it was really promising at the beginning with the revival website, but after the content of the album has nothing to do with the website, even that is incredibly r-----ed.

    then to the singles, as i said, i really love walk on water and i think untouchable is a good song, but they're probably the least single material songs on the album. what the f--- were they thinking.
    i can even excuse walk on water since it has beyonce on it, but untouchable ? really ?

    i dont know how the people at interscope let this f--- up happen.

    this is the perfect way the singles could've been handled :

    lead single - Believe, with a f---ing video this is exactly what the lead single should sound like, great beat, great flow and matches the current trend of trap

    then a week later, release river, at this point eminem will have the most hype any artist has had this year

    tuesday of that week, drop the video

    the next friday, release Nowhere Fast or Like Home along with the pre orders.

    the next friday, release the album along Nowhere Fast or Like Home (whichever one wasnt released the previous friday)

    this rollout was thought of by a 15 year old jordanian boy, how the f--- did the geniuses at interscope and the managment of the best selling rapper of all time think of this ?

    i hope they enjoy their 200k first week sales

    Paul : Hey Em how much do you think we should invest in marketing this album?

    Maybe its because this is a double album.. so the big promo gonna be for the 2nd surprise album and everyone who buys that will come back and buy Revival part 1

    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    Yeah the rollout was s--- but I ultimately just care about the album.

    The rollout actually exemplifies what the album is - confused.

    There was two marketing angles and both were a lie.

    Angle 1 : that it was some hardcore rap s---, focusing on it being a medicine for bad rhymes, like it was some hard hip-hop, also implying Dre's involvement - even having him post about it first and say 'prescribed by your Dr.'... Pure lie.

    Angle 2 : that it was some punk-rap-esque rebellious political s---. Also a lie. 4 verses Em? 4 verses, two of which over a stadium pop track justify the ENTIRE imagery of you, the cover, booklet everything implying huge political overtones?... Seriously. 90% of the album is not that at all.

    I feel jibbed.

    Other than s--- - this rollout was deceptive.

    This is one of the most embarrassing, depressing and frustrating albums and time to be an Eminem fan ever. I thought he'd f----- himself with MMLP2, but boy I was wrong. The level of compromise here was absurd. It was like he just went ''f--- YEAH!! LET'SSEELLLLL THE f--- OUT PAUL!''. What the fuckkk. Shame.

    That cover should be you facepalming the album Em. f---.

    Hes got like 7 songs on here that people will put their lighters up for at the concert... and he releases Walk on Water and Untouchable lol.. The only good part about those being the singles is that my jaw literally dropped on first listen to this album in amazement at how good it was. Literally I was shocked..

    These seems really f---ing optimistic. Genius if true, but I doubt it man. Bodied and / or some remixes incoming.
