I want The Reunion it would be dope seeing the story in visual form and what they come up with. :y:


Hmmm, Lighters is a perfectly fine song, and a potential top 10 hit as a single. There's absolutely nothing wrong in attracting the "wrong" people. Think about it, people who like the song may start listening to other Em stuff and become fans.

It's a win/win situation.

Sorry to tell you but 95% of people who bought love the way you lie just buy singles they never listned to hole album.

I should know my sister even has that song but never listens to any other eminem songs like me.

Wrong type of people we're wanting to buy this EP? Why would we care who buys it...the more people who buy it, the better. If people hear 'Lighters', buy the album and then pop the CD in their car and hear 'Welcome 2 Hell', I'm all for it. Especially if it gets them interested in that style.

I'm sure the same thing happened when people heard LTWYL and popped the CD in only to hear 'Cold Wind Blows' :D

I know but im just saying most of people who buy the singles dont buy the album any way. 90% of people now dont even buy albums. Im one of people who always buys albums still.

It doesn't matter who's on it, Lighters will release as a single, attract people to the album, and they will become fans of Eminem. Jeez, like Em said before, it's not like he can control who buys his albums. He said in the past if Nsync fans buy his albums or Britney Spears fans buy 'em then that's cool cuz he can't do shit 'bout it. :smoking:

Lighters will be huge this summer. I haven't heard an anthem for summer 2011 yet, and I think Lighters will be the LTWYL of '11.

I thought lil wayne would have a huge club song for the summer but so far he doesn't.

Lighters has been released in the UK, 18 hours ago.

It's still not top 100 on iTunes, whilst Love the Way You Lie was in the top 20 after 18 hours.

I think Lighters will do better in the US than the UK though, but judging by this it won't go straight to #1 like LTWYL.

^ A lot of people think H:TS is only released tomorrow, even here. I can't wait to see tomorrow how it does.

Oh yeah. I guess. Like they might look at the US release date and assume it's for everywhere. :D

Part of me wants it to be successful, because I think it could get more people to check out the EP, and it'd be fantastic for Royce too.

On the other hand, I do like Lighters, but there's other songs I'd prefer to see released as a single, so maybe if it does really badly, they might change their mind.

We'll see what happens I guess. There's pros and cons both ways.

^ I want it to be successful, because of Royce and how he deserves to be famous because he's just dope.
And the song itself isn't that bad, it's even good. I love Eminem's verse and Royce's too.

But.. People would be like "Another pop song?!" and that annoys me.

Anyway, I don't think D12's first single will have a singer or something. (I hope i won't see this: D12 Ft Lady Gaga) .... Lmao.

People really have to stop (I'm so sorry for what I'm about to say, I hate the word as much as you do) hating on Bruno Mars. Yeah he's the guy who made Just The Way You Are, but he's also the guy who made Liquor Store Blues. He's got a great ass voice. And everyone who says they don't want Lighter's to be big is out of their mind. Royce really really REALLY deserves recognition. Let him have it. And I understand that this song will attract more teeny-bopper girls who think that it's his only good song beside Love the Way You Lie, but it will also attract many more legitimate fans. Some may get into his albums, and then into his old stuff. His old stuff will lead them to quality old school/ underground rap which is a big win for hip-hop. A fan is a fan. Lighter's will be an anthem, no way of getting around it.

According to Em it was because they thought he was dope. I agree, unlike most celebrities Em disses, Bruno has talent.

Lighters is #85 in Austria.

But the most weird thing is that That's All She Wrote is #83 there! :confusion:
