Not Afraid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Relapse

It's great, I liked it from the first time I heard it. Eminem's best first single.

You're right, it isn't mediocre - it's atrocious. I feel embarrased to be an Eminem fan when I hear this bein played/people playing it.

I cant see how anyone who has been a huge fan of Eminem's for a long time can not like Not Afraid.

Erm, easily? Just because it's "for the fans" doesn't mean we automatically have to like it.

It's a brilliant song, I can't understand anyone who doesn't like it.
My mother started screamin, "What are you on, drugs?!?
Look at you, you're gettin blood all over my rug!" (Sorry!)
She beat me over the head with the remote control
opened a hole, and my whole brain fell out of my skull
I picked it up and screamed, "Look bitch, what have you done?!?"
"Oh my God, I'm sorry son"
"Shut up you cunt!" I said, "Fuck it!"

It's an epic anthem, that rings off on loud/good systems.

Play it loud and you'll know.

I'd put it in my top 50 Eminem songs.

It's ok. No where near his top but not one of his worst. Some of the lines had me go :facepalm

Least played song from his come back album tracks. Having said that Going Through Changes, De Ja Vu are easily in my top 15 Em tracks of all time which makes me believe he can still make gems.

Need I tell you why? the why is between what you've written here and what you've written in chit chat...

I liked it when I first heard it, it gets worse with each listen though.

The punchlines are fucking awful, and it's cheesy as fuck.

When he played Oxegen by far the standout part of the show when he performed this song,Eminems not allowed to be positive though so people dismiss it.You cant go from Mr dont give a fuck to Mr give a fuck especially over such a short time of nearly 10 years

I dont know why people act like he only started being positive on Recovery,Devils Night was the end of the Mr dont give a fuck era.TES has songs that like Hailies song that the 2000 Eminem would not of released

Better songs than not afraid from 06-onwards:

You Don't Know
No Apologies
All of Relapse
Most of recovery (Except won't back down, ltwyl, wtp, untitled, session one, ridaz)


not afraid >>>> anything post-recovery except inad

refill >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> not afraid

dtw, forever, airplanes ii, warning >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> na



untitled, session one, ridaz>>>>>>>> not afraid.

not afraid >>>> INAD

honestly, INAD is just LTWYL with two dudes
