When you said "best ever" i interpreted it as you saying its better then any Em song ever released. Is that what you meant? I mean you seriously, after 2 hours of listening to it, think its better then Lose Yourself, Sing For The Moment, 90% of the tracks on the MMLP, etc?

Yes.

I don't like old Eminem as much as I like new Eminem. Don't get me wrong MMLP is one of the best rap albums released as well as TES. But this track is back to MMLP and people....hate it? If I was Em i would seriously quit and make a song dissing my fans and release an album full of "Facks". EVERYONE WANTED A SONG LIKE THIS. This is like D.O.A on crack with Eminem. Well, maybe i should calm down lol.

P.S. I miss 2Pac :(

Those songs, mixed with everything surrounding Em at the time, were amazing.

Won't Back Down<<<< 1/4 of MMLP.

No exaggeration for real. LOL, I'm probably the biggest "Won't Back Down" dickrider. But the track deserves to have it's dick rode :smoking: :o

I like it. Took me a couple listens to catch every line. That 3rd verse is my favorite :o. I was expecting a more conceptual/different kind of song w/ Pink but this is dope. :y:

Yea i know what you mean as far as peeps hating it, although im not one of them cause i loved and missed those MMLP days. Ive said a shitload of times hear that i was feeling Despicable over NA by a wide margin and besides the so-so beat and Pink adding nothing to the song, he lyrically murders the track. I wish he couldve spit these same lyrics with a different flow over a harder beat.

Word. Especially spitting these lyrics as hard as he did on a HARDER beat. But this one was good for me. Then again I like a lot of Rap music and especially Eminem.

Weren't you saying 'fuck eminem' over this track like a few hours ago? Lmao.. and talking shit to everyone who disagreed..

I understand you explained that it grew on you, I just thought this was funny

i think you might have me confused with someone else
i didn't really hate on it that much in the beginning, just said i was disappointed
but i like it now so it's all good :y:

why was Pink needed? i'll tell you why: for radio play. what the fuck is wrong with Eminem these days? what is he thinking?

I think it's subjective.

I'm honestly loving this song, and I think that Pink totally fits the beat.

I understand where you're coming from though.

i've listened to it a few more times and i'm in the same spot, the beat is dope, em has his hot lines but they just don't match the hook to me and that's what fucks it up...

and he's had plenty of punchline songs with fitting hooks; eg. cum on everybody, i'm back, remember me, square dance, drop the bomb on em...

so what am i supposed to get from this, he won't back down because he doesn't need the swine flu to be a sick pig? and what is it he won't back down from? most of what he's saying seems to be pointed in a female direction. and what purpose is there for pink singing the hook? he can squeeze his nuts to hit them high notes in not afraid but he couldn't have sung that?

this shit probably isn't a big deal but, i was really hoping for some polished art with this album but this shit seems like sketches....

I agree, the reception so far is pretty great.

Sure, there's negative with the positive, but things are looking up so far.

Sorry stans, but I don't like the song. Its AVERAGE at best. Very awkward & abrupt JAMMED with lots of not-so-good punchlines & a few good ones. Also, Pink's hook is uninspired and sounds like it was done in 15-20 minutes. Disappointing. :n:

I still have hope for the rest of the album though. :y:

That was the part that surprised me the most. I was expecting at least a hook from her and maybe a verse but if it was just gonna be the hook then they shouldve had it be more than the same couple sentences over and over.

That's what disappointed me the most. She just had a simple, repetitive hook and no other presence on the track. I was honestly expecting more of this track because of the PINK collab, she's good IMO and I thought her and Em could have made a really unique, memorable track.
