How Not afraid could have been better?

You don't like celeb-bashing singles, you don't like emotional and "apologizing" single.

WHAT THE FUCK? STOP COMPLAINING!

Good song, but not catchy enough, beatwise, hookwise. The last part of his hook, holla if u feel sounds off, he should stretch his voice when he says Down the same road... And the chorus is good but sounds more like a freestyle. The beat could have been enhanced. It just seems like a rough draft and needs to be worked on a little. Production was not very impressive for a lead single. If this were just a regular track, it need not to be changed. This is the most different lead single he has ever came out with. I have a feeling though, that their will be a song on the album that will be more appropriate for a lead single than this. Idk, maybe I'm not used to him coming out with this type of lead single.

You are the biggest idiot I ever saw...I remember that you were complainig about that funny singles and now you say this is bad,gtfo

He never said it was bad.

I dont think that this should be more catchy...there are already enough catchy R&B/Rap songs out there

hook is catchy

but I do think it's a little too slow for lead single, who cares though, I freaking love the song :flutter:

Best thing about the single is that he has finally moved on from those celeb bashing songs.

I personally think the song is ok but not "best song evaaah", "better than lose yourself wooo" and all that. I don't know if it will be a number one hit since there's so many swear words that will get censored. It just kindda ruins the song when there will be pauses in the lyrics.

The hook needs to be more alive? What are you on dude?

yeah makes me kinda wonder if this was intended to be first single ? cuz I remember Jim Jonsin was reported to be producer of the 1st single when the album news came out.

Without the second part of the bridge. It sounds like some chick singin. Plus, he says "Im mannin up" while singin it, which makes it more ironic. I dont know, its very weird to hear that kinda singin from Em.

But despite that...the song is a bomb.

It has one of the best Eminem hooks ever, and the best concept for an Eminem single ever, and the energy is fire throughout the whole track. What more can you ask for in a 1st single?!

Sac, get the fuck out of here with that "how it could have been better"! :n:
