There's a remix now out with Dr. Dre and 50...it's hot...maybe the final version?
The hook is pretty addictive, and being a new Eminem track...probably be a medium sized hit at least

Apparently this is the final version. It's the first single from his forthcoming album Relapse. The beat is hot. Even though I'm not a fan of Eminen, this is actually one of his better songs. |

This is not strong enough to re-create the hype he had.

Garbage. This is the exact direction I was hoping he wouldn't pursue. Even if there's better material on the album, this isn't going to kick-start a successful enough era that it'll get released.

At least it's not PURE novelty like "Just Lose It" or "Ass Like That." Even still, it sounds dated and like he's out touch with the time. It also lacks a knockout hook. Furthermore, including 50 Cent conjures a flop image right away. It's not like this is 2003 or 2004 when an Eminem/50 Cent/Dr. Dre trifecta was golden. It doesn't mean a thing now.

I don't like Eminem, but after two listens I have to say that I really like this. Definitely better than all the sh*t from his previous albums AND collaborations.

I don't like this at all. That said, it's better than most of the singles from his last album.

I actually like this, but it sounds like a flop.

I actually like this, but it sounds like a flop. Re-reading most of my posts makes it sound like I dislike this, but this quote actually sums up how I feel. |

This really is not what you comeback with if you have been out of the industry for a while. You need to be on your A game.

I dont even know if this is the single. It's perfectly fine for a heater track. It may catch on at radio, just because it's new Eminem, and that will force them to make it the psuedo-single, but I didnt get the impression that this was the lead single.

I do think this will go straight to #1 on iTunes, so it should have a nice Hot 100 peak. Almost misleadingly so as one of his biggest singles, but that's the case with most sales-driven stars who peaked the first half of this decade.

14 Pop adds including KIIS and 14 Rhythmic adds including Hot 97.
If you told me five years ago that Z100 wouldn't "world premiere" new Eminem every hour on the hour the day it leaked...

This song has to grow on me but I'm feeling the production.

i agree ^ Em's flow is just .. WACK, Dre is the only good part of this song and idk why the f**k 50's wack-ass is on this sh*t, and the hook isn't that catchy and it's not memorable i predict a fast rise even faster fall just because it's his comeback single oh and wtf was Dre thinking this is not 2004/5 that production/sound is so dated, I'm very disappointed but at least he's actually rapping and this isn't some damn novelty song. |

I don't think it's bad at all. Just very weak as a single, especially a lead single that's supposed to signal a return to popularity following a multi-year absence.

This will do well regardless of quality. Straight to #1 on iTunes.
What I would do is release a second AMAZING single to radio before the album drops.
I am not a huge fan of the guy but can respect him a little.

Yea this is good enough to generate buzz again...its not what we'd necessarily expect from his comeback single but it gets us talking again

I don't like this much, definitely sounds like a buzz track, not a lead single. It's too long, ongoing and boring a bit.

His lyrics just don't work anymore. He's too old to play the bad ass insecure overgrown adolescent.
