People Thinking Em Constructed "Lighters"

[momentsgolden]

So, because i) it sounded out of place ii) It was "cheesy" and "cliche" (loose translation- not original) its different from the other ones? So, if he makes a WHOLE album which is "cheesy" or "cliche" (Infinite for example) its acceptable? Or, if he creates a song like "Without Me" which, to him at least, sounded out of place on TES its acceptable? Or, if he creates a "dumbed down, cheesy, corny, pop sounding track" like My Name Is its acceptable because it ddnt sound out of place? Just areas i'd need clarification because after reading this...

"We were trying to get some exposure on Detroit radio and Nas and Az were big back then"- describing Infinite.

Eminem on TRSS- "The Label wanted me to make another my name is. I felt the album was COMPLETE when i handed it in but they needed a radio single. I made TWIA and after letting out my anger i created TRSS. It felt cheesy and corny after a few days, the SAME as my name is, and thats when i thought- yeah, thats it. Thats the formula. It needs to feel cheesy and corny." Loose translation from Angry Blonde

On an interview for Without Me- "That song sounds NOTHING like the album. (TES) Just put it out there but if you want to hear what i got that track is nothing like the actual cd." Loose quote from online interview.

"This is NOT hip-hop." -describing We Made You.

"I felt we needed a track for Royce to get exposure and show versatility"

So, again, you said it was "within himself" to make the first singles... besides Not Afraid and Just Lose it, which were an actual reflection of his state of mind, the first singles needed a DIFFERENT approach to music to please people "outside" himself and he actually, borderline at least, despises the tracks. So, how is it more "artistic" to create TRSS than lighters?


I state again, i believe its on the same level of "sell-out" than all the other tracks which is fine with me.

Eminem sold out with Hi my name is
Eminem never claimed to be a hard MC

i remember when mahmoud used to be someone on this site.

come on Embase,the dude is trolling and its so fucking easy to catch and its so fucking lame,stepyobrainsup

The reason I answer posts like this as if not 'trolls' is because I don't play the 'troll' game as it's boring as fuck and repetitive. "awww dude I'm trolling man haha", yeah wow, brilliant.

I have never agreed with EmBase more than on this. That's going in my sig

Not surprising Royce would want Bruno mars. He's done songs with sara stokes from the band and wila ford to try to gain commercial success. But it's funny how people bitch about Em doing songs with Rihanna but dont complain about Royce. The only difference is that those songs Em did actually became hit records.

They needed a radio single. Simple as that.
Same with LTWYL, Em just needed a radio single to get back in public eye.


Get over it guys.

Just a question how comes when people thought it was Eminems idea they started bitching but when It was Royces no one bitches does anyone know why?

That is because Royce is black.

Because then people think Royce only did it for popularity. Which he probably did..

That sneaky black man..

Because people only enjoy calling Eminem a sellout.

Em is far from a sell out on this EP...he makes the exact opposite of sell out music, he's dissing women and people that his new 14 year old fanbase won't be too fond of, with really only two emotional songs. And one of them fits in with the album, the other one sounds horribly out of place.
