Love it. The song and video are great.

I'm actually looking forward to buying this album. Haven't felt this way about Eminem in along time, since until now, I kinda forgot about him for awhile.

This single is gonna be huge regardless (most likely the biggest rap song of the year), but the full album is starting to leak. boxed "Won't Back Down" is my favorite so far, "Talkin 2 Myself" is cool and biographical like "Not Afraid," and he totally annihilates Lil Wayne lyrically in their collaboration "No Love." I don't really like "Love The Way You Lie" with Rihanna singing the chorus, but the lyrics are about her and Chris Brown, so I guess her voice was necessary. I'm so desperately trying not to listen to anymore of the tracks. lol Darn planters, I mean "leakers," lol.

Yeah, I heard "Not Afraid" a couple weeks ago and was like: "WOAH. eek Eminem? Like, Eminem, Eminem?! I remember that voice!" Felt like it was 2003 again. headbang

Except for Lupe and hopefully Kanye, he's tearing up these other dudes. Drake doesn't have a chance, lol.

Hell naw Drake don't have a chance!!! He'll be disappearing soon. But yeah when I saw the video and listened to what Eminem was saying I was like "wow, now that's the Eminem I was used to hearing"!!!!

Is Lupe coming out with something new this year?

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Yep, a new album called Lasers. biggrin Here's his recent single/video "I'm Beamin": http://www.youtube.com/wa...e4BEdyZ8bM

And I forgot about Nas. I haven't listened to any of his new songs with Damien Marley yet, but I'm sure there's something powerful in their recently released album. So this year is for Eminem, Lupe, Nas, and hopefully Kanye. Lyrical Legends.

The songs alright. It will probably grow on me like Lose Yourself did. The last Eminem song I was instantly impressed with was My Band. After that everything he did just plain sucked and only succeeded based on his name. I think his whole shtick was great from 1999 to 2003 (and the one good d12 track of 2004) but after that it just got really boring and predictable. This song still sounds more of the same to me.

It's kinda overrated if you ask me. I'm not saying it's bad but it's pretty boring. The only part that appealed to me is when he mentioned his last album because you never hear artists say stuff like that about their albums. But other than that little part, it's not a very good song to me.

cool thumbs up! headbang

Wow. If the voting was based on an actual live competition, I think a few current mainstream guys could give him a tough challenge, but this freestyle recording that was released yesterday supports that article:

Eminem can be merciless with the way he thinks to combine clever words so quickly. Here's another recent one:

He's still overly profane at times, lol, but incredible to me. Maybe not the greatest ever, but certainly one of them.

Never mind the video. THAT^ is his best track since Lose Yourself. Eminem is way better when he is being serious than he is being.......well, Slim Shady.

I know his die-hard fanbots will definitely disagree with me. But it was time for this dude to finally grow up and stay that way.

eek ... neutral

The video is boring, repetitive and cheesy as hell (especially the last minute)

the song is meh, no matter how hard he tries, the chorus is repetitive, NOT ANTHEMIC/CATCHY

if this is the best the guy has to offer these days, count me out; this song pales next to ANY single of the 99-02 era... confused

One of my friends posted this on her facebook and after seeing it over here, I thought I would listen to it and I am amazed by all the praise over here.

It´s just boring.

And what´s up with his face? Is it just the hair or does he really look different?

Um, I'm glad he's all functional again, and his rapping sounds good. But that track is dullsville.

I was ready to hate since I've been so dissapointed in his stuff since like 2005 but this is great.

It's pretty obvious Slim Shady is dead now and the funny shit isn't gonna work any more. He needs to show off his talent not his fart jokes. Without Me was Slim Shady's peak, Lose Yourself was Eminem's. Now he can just get back to being (one of) the best with nothing to prove.

I'd like to see a freestyle between him and Jay Z.

I think Eminem would win that easily. Jay Z raps about nothing but his "black card," women's clothing stores, and yachts. lol
