What Route Do U Think Em Will Go For On 1st R2 Single?

[Alaine]

On R2 it would but not on R1. The intro sums up where his been and whats happened in the his hiatus and he reflects on his career. To be fair, it wouldnt have given us any clue about what the album was like but still wudda been sick.

I meant in R1. Truth is the subject matter of that song is good, but it's incomplete (only has 2 verses with 1min intro, who wants to hear that?), beat is nothing special, chorus sucks (and chorus usually the part that makes the single). First verse is good with some stand-out lines, 2nd verse nothing special. And musically the song is not even catchy like Beautiful. People are overrating this just because it's one of the 'few' serious track out of Relapse batch.

[Dark Blue]

Club banger, to get radio airplay.

Or like Lose Yourself.

this

[Heffernan]

something like cum on everybody would be an awesome first single

[classthe_king]

I wish he would make a radio friendly song thats unlike his usuall ones. Something like forever, put drake on a hook and make it about girls.

[James Deuce]

Something tells me if Lady GaGa is involved we'd hear about it. She seems to be more media accessible than Em. And with being media accessible, your news leaks easier.

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

I hope he takes the not-having-any-singles route.

[Evan C.]

I hope he takes the not-having-any-singles route.

Yeah, I'm sure the record label would LOVE that idea.

That's why he should disconnect Shady from Interscope and release his music independently.

[psu24]

I think most people expect some kind of more serious song like Sing For the Moment or Lose Yourself but who the fuck knows. I honestly don't give a damn if he releases another jokey first single as long as it's as good as hist first couple.

[Raquel]

I would like it to be a signle like Lose Yourself.

I think that most of u r forgetting that the label decides wat the lead off single will be. So if he doesnt have one the label is happy with, he will end up writing a new song. Personally i think he should just go ahead and recruit Lady Gaga or Drake for a lead hit single

As much as we'd hate that, it'd probably be the best thing to do. I don't think Lady Gaga should do the song, because it's two completely different genres (she should get on a second single though, or a third, that will really broaden his audience), but someone like Drake or Lil Wayne would do wonders for his radio play for a first single. If he got on a track with Drake or Wayne, that will build anticipation between both Em and Wayne/Drake fans. I think a song with an Em verse/Drake chorus/Wayne verse/Drake chorus/Em verse/Drake chorus would be a decent song, if he had to have both of them on there. If it was just one, I would want it to be Drake, because he's a better lyricist than Wayne IMO. I'd actually really enjoy that collaboration, Drake is extremely popular right now, almost to Wayne status and Wayne is about to go to prison for a while. But having the both of them on there would shoot it up to top 10, probably number 1. As much as I hate to say it, that is the best and smartest thing he could do right now. If his first single was number 1, imagine the album sales. It'll do twice of what Relapse did first week, and over time it'll probably sell a lot, especially if the album itself is a classic along the lines of MMLP or TES

yes because selling 1 mili first week is the only purpose of making the album

Why do you want a single that will be a hit and that will make the album have a more buzz? I couldnt give 2 fucks about sales or anything like that. I want a pure lyrical song with no shitty guest appearences from bubblegum rappers. Fans are gunna be buzzed for the album regardless whether it's poppy or not. In fact, if it is poppy then I think most fans will be less excited for the album. Sales mean nothing to me, I want good rap music.

[Jay-19]

I think a first single with Lady GaGa on it would be awesome actually.
I hope it happens.
