'Not Afraid' gets criticized on Radio 1 (UK)

[Shadizz]

always the same god damn argument "They say its no where near as good as old Eminem music, and Eminem will never be THAT good ever again" fuck 'em all

What fuckin pricks. Everyone that listened to it on the Westwood Show on radio 1 loved it.

fook em

Well the one guy said Em keeps producing his own stuff, he could at least get it right. That shitty beat was made by Boi-1da.

But those people saying he's nowhere near as good as he used to be... Man these people are just casual music fans and obviously don't get rap. I mean with Relapse he surpassed everything he did in many aspects.

Not saying he has the content or 'feel' he used to but his "Despicable" freestyle... I think they're all going to be shocked when Recovery comes. He's more than back, I think he'll be better than ever.

Yea I know lol

[DanWS]

To be fair all of the people texting in (except for one person) said they really like it and think Em is back to his best. It was only really the 3 bell ends on the panel saying it wasnt very good.

You've got to remember these are just the opinions of three random people in England, and not a general reflection of the song as a whole

I'm sure when its released in the UK (on iTunes) it will go straight to #1

of course it'll go straight to #1, that's like a guaranteed. It's already #1 or #2 in almost every country it was released now (iTunes)

[Alaine]

^ you're asking me personally? lol it's hard to tell now cuz it's not taking off on the radio yet. All success right now just comes straight from sale.

Oh right and the fact that 60 fucking Stans on an Eminem forum say it's good makes your opinions more valid?

[matz]

its not fair to compare it to his old stuff, cos there some of the best albums of the 00s, they should just review it for what it is - a real gd track

and yeh they obviously are complacent and pretty clueless on what they talking bout cos they dont even know who produced it

[BILI]

These guys probably look like this...and you give a fuck what they think

[Hiphopdane]

He is never going be that good again? As if Harry Potter came across and stole all Em's talent with his wand.

yeah. you seem to know about the marketing behind Eminem songs/albums.

it's justice that the best song Eminem has ever made is also his most well-known.

Lose Yourself is his best well-known actually. I don't think he can pass that with this song. Great song but not "impacting" enough.

Agreed with your point, not sure about straight to number one but he does have more #1 singles in the uk than elvis so
