The Monster, Em's 2nd greatest hit (LTWYL #1, Without Me #3)

[EminemBase]

sad part is LTWYL was written by Skylar Grey and she doesn't get too much credit for it... it's funny how people say LTWYL is very personal for Rihanna and Eminem because of what they been through while Rihanna didn't even wrote her part, same goes for The Monster

No, the point is that it was brilliant for Em to choose her for the song / make it about domestic violence. Skylar didn't intend for it to be about domestic violence like that... Em MADE it that and then chose Rihanna for it, that's why it's brilliant and nobody makes the song what it is other than her.

The Monster on the other hand? MEH.

no that's not what I'm talkin' about, my point is... Skylar made tremendous work on LTWYL but no one gives a shit about her, for kids it's Rihanna who sang 'very personal' chorus and Em, oh and Alex Da Kid

I agree with what you said though, but I was talkin' about somethin' else

Yeah I know that @ Skylar.

But what I mean is... to make it an intense domestic violence song and then choose Rihanna was Em's work and Rihanna isn't trivial or because she's huge... it was a brilliant move ala Elton John Grammy's / GLAAD.

Fuck the kids. As an adult, it makes the song special. If Skylar sung it, it wouldn't have been.

Em's legacy takin' more L's

[Guess_Who]

Just to note Lose Yourself remains his 2nd best seller:

1. Love The Way You Lie
2. Lose Yourself
3. The Monster

It mentions that Lose Yourself has 6.3m points. Not 6.3m sold. As it has officially sold 6 million copies in the US & 800k in the UK so well over 6.8m+ worldwide.

The fact that The monster is in third place anyway reflects how the music industry works these days.

The way I am or many other songs deserve that position much more.

Em's legacy takin' more L's

By having successful singles?

[kkaniff]

I'm confused, how does having successful singles negatively affect your legacy?

[Francesco]

Great... LTWYL will eventually get diamond.

I coulda sworn it was RIAA certified 11x plat.
Yup
while Eminem’s “Love The Way You
Lie” (Interscope/Geffen/A&M) certified
11x multi-Platinum

Interesting... Even better I guess.

He needs to take it back to the days that he got on a Dre track.

That's cool but maybe it's selfish of me to think that two of the top three songs just don't justify how many good songs he made throughout his career and it makes me think that's all a lot of people will remember him for.

better than not remembering him tho i guess...

I couldn't sleep last night and I was listenning to The Monster on my headphones. It sounds much, much better at 3 am. Try it.
