Aug 6, 2022 Shame there was no creative input from Em on this. Paul taking fanmade Rap God mixes from twitter says it all with how little Em had input on this. Safely presume that this was Paul’s idea this whole project, probably even set up the tracklist. He basically promoting it too with the Paul Pod thing haha. Congrats to Paul if it goes number 1.
Aug 6, 2022 I think artistically, it was the right decision. But very illogically it effected the exposure of the album. I mean there were basically an album full of new songs and somehow people acted as if there were non. I think if they promoted the album at all, it'd have been more successful. But they basically did no actual promo, just shot a video for GNat and that was it.
Aug 6, 2022 yeah lol definitely don’t think he re recorded anything else. Just something about Is This Love sounds a bit like that Eminem show re-recorded verse he did. That Jimmy song
Aug 6, 2022 Not really, projections have been higher than the real numbers lately. My guess is it had a good day yesterday and now the streams will go downhill. Physicals should save it though, but a number 1 debut? I don't know, hope so though.
Aug 6, 2022 You are waaay to harsh lol There are definitely some bad songs and some average ones but an 1 or 2 for some songs is overreacting the same way people give lighters a 10 lol
Aug 6, 2022 But the main response to that is the fact that Best Friend is on there and it's a Yelawolf song
Aug 6, 2022 So I was curious about track counts from each album. Not sure if anyone has posted yet, but interesting to see track selection counts from each album Relapse 3 Recovery 7 MMLP2 5 Revival 3 Kamikaze 3 MTBMB1 3 MTBMB2 2 HTSII 2 Other 6
Aug 6, 2022 I could understand this argument for other songs such as Forever as it's not an Em/Shady/Aftermath song and prob had to jump through hoops to get it on there which wasn't worth it. But BOB has a distribution deal through Shady Records, at least he did when Airplanes Pt2 dropped. Airplanes Pt2 and I Need a Doctor should've been on this.
Aug 6, 2022 He could honestly have a side B to Curtain Call 2. He's made some really good songs and features since the last Curtain Call. Would have been hard to choose these tracks..Haha. You also have to remember that respect probably had some thought into the track selections. Everyone he chose to be on this album is going to get royalties, just from them selecting the song to be on the album (Curtain Call 1 is diamond). Putting Yelawolf on the album actually surprised me and shows that he still has respect for him.
Aug 6, 2022 Best Friend was through Interscope and Airplanes was through Atlantic - that might have something to do with it tho.
Aug 6, 2022 I need a doctor should've deff be on there. Maybe Airplanes was just too much of a hassel to get on there, since it wasn't released under Interscope.
