@ Mikenufc - Me and you both picked 2. Its like I said, anybody who is a hip hop fan will be dissapointed with the song, but Eminem fans will love it.

Explains why GGGG thinks its the best song he's heard by eminem. He doesnt care for rap much ( from what I gather ) but likes em.

I think 4G likes rap, but as it's not his "first" genre of music so it's not gunna be as easy to get into...

Dont mean to be patrionizing G but I actaully admire the fact you've managed to get yourself into rap coming from a genre where most of the fans of it really seem to hate rap.

@Alaine - What are you talkin about? Im not puttin words in his mouth...I bringin up something he said before.

@Wic Kid - Just because I enjoy tpains music doesnt mean my opinion isnt valid. And your really gunna talk shit about the type of music someone likes, with that man in your sig pic?

I dont really see why you two are talkin shit all of a sudden? Explain please cuz I feel like its coming out of left field...If it wasnt about me saying GGGG said Not Afraid was eminems best song...Then Im confused.

And again, he did say that...or that not afraid was his best single so far - And even if im mistaking him for someone else...Im not speaking for the hip hop community by mentioning something somebody said.

Retarted.

I agree with this. Im assuming he doesnt like rap since I havent seen him talking about any other artists then Em. Not to say he hasnt, I just havent seen it. And we have talkin about Metal and Rock bands that we enjoy with each other before.

But correct me if Im wrong GGGG

I'm openminded, Mike.
And you're right. I tried to bring Eminem into the death metal forum I'm on, and literally everyone who replied (almost the whole site) hates him, and all rap, with a passion.
But rap people are guilty of that too. If I brought some of my music, the reactions here would be very much the same.
I believe artists can be judged, but not entire genres.

Lock, no, I never said that. I said it was his best single since Lose Yourself.

Was that a shot at death metal, or are you agreeing that people typcast genres too much?

To me, calling any song 5/5 is a bit moot.

That means perfection or very close to. As good as. He certainly has some 5/5 songs for me. Those would include "Business", "Till I Collapse", "Criminal", "Kill You", "Lose Yourself", "Sing for the Moment" and plenty more.

But "Not Afraid" is not in that batch. I give it a 4. I think with Em's production it could of been a 5 but actually... I dunno. It grew on me at first and now I'm kind of shaking it off. It's a great song but not what I want at this point. I hope the rest of the album is nothing like it.

The latter.

I quoted the part where you said rap fans would generalize death metal, which I agree with.

After letting this sink in, it's not as good as I thought it was.
I gave it a 4, but it's more of a 3.75, really like the verses :y:
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
