Was Not Afraid a Good Single

[clustr]

ok, for the ppl who dislike it i wanna know wat u would suggest em do. Funny song done already, motivational song done, serial killer done. U guys got to be put in his shoes, wat u want him to talk about cars, bitches, hoes damn! go listen to Gucci or Wacka. wake the fuck up ppl. this song is nice. Not sayin u cant hve an opinion, but dont bash the shit

i don't dislike the TYPE of the song in general, i prefer this type over a WMY-Type of song, but the gospel singing... it's kinda too corny in my eyes (referring 1 more time: sounds like charity song) and the beat doesn't appeal to me, that's all... the verses and his flow are good as ever

[Wisheezy]

It's not too mainstream, but not too underground. Just right, and I have a feeling that means it'll be a great single to attract attention from all the crowds that love Eminem

[Xray]

I thought it was a pretty good song, reminds me on the eminem show times, like sing for the moment and say goodbye to hollywood shit... definitely dope

What? You fucking crazy? Those tracks you mentioned are some of Eminem's best work. You compare his best work with this bullshit of a song you call a single? Dumb ass motherfucker.

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

Amadeo, you're completely ignoring the well crafted punchlines and metaphors.
The Not Afraid lyrics are clearly more carefully crafted and wittier than the Relapse lyrics.
That's simply fact.

[Alaine]

it's a great song I love it!

[dR3]

1. Lose Yourself
2. Not Afraid

His second best first single.

[Alaine]

god damn people overanalyzing the song as usual can't say I'm surprised

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

You're wrong Amadeo, that's all there is to it. Em is coming up with things that aren't only witty, but relevant as well.
You're just too negative and pessimistic to appreciate such a lilting song.

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

it's really not overanalyzing. i'm showing that if i, someone who can't write lyrics, can write lines like the lines you hear on Not Afraid, then it is nothing special.

i can't write most of the lyrics on Relapse.

Okay...
You're pulling your sample lyrics from your brain.
Em is getting his lyrics straight from his heart.
I am absolutely shocked and chagrined as to how you haven't figured this out yet.
Not Afraid has the most love for humanity I've ever heard in an Eminem song, and that's what makes it a classic.
If you still can't appreciate this, you need to take the logical reasoning down a notch and just feel the soul of his music.

[Alaine]

Em is making SONGS again, not just lines that makes you go "God damn this is crazy!!", if you want that go listen to the Despicable freestyle. I want to listen to songs like this that actually has replay value, not some random like that entertaining for a minute than it's over.

[Xray]

Not Afraid has the most love for humanity I've ever heard in an Eminem song, and that's what makes it a classic.

[dR3]

Not Afraid has the most love for humanity I've ever heard in an Eminem song, and that's what makes it a classic.

Stop being a dickhead.

[Xray]

Not Afraid has the most love for humanity I've ever heard in an Eminem song, and that's what makes it a classic.

Stop being a dickhead.

Stop being a faggot.

[B.A.D.]

Not Afraid is probably one of the best Single's Eminem has ever released

[dR3]

Stop being a dickhead.

Stop being a faggot.

ORLY?
