I don't want a club song tbh, I don't listen to club music.
So far, every single from the SH album has been at the best okay and at the worst horrible. I mean... there's just no way in hell this thing will be a classic when we've already heard like five songs from it and most of them suck ass or are a compromise.
I don't believe that this is the best SH could come up with, and if it is... they're not very creative.
Who cares about clubs?
Aiming at demographics is lame. If it's organic and they genuinely made this song because it felt good to them, fair enough. It's alright but, just totally forgettable.
No club tracks are memorable to me to be honest, as it's comparable to tacky pop music. It's repetitive, face-value themes, it's boring; "girl this" / "drink that". bla bla bla
I dunno, I'll come back to you later with an idea maybe, so far though Shady 2.0 is a major letdown. I think
Our House will be a
Radioactive repeat.
But beyond a concept, technique / execution is what makes something memorable. This song is catchy-enough but it feels like something they could make in ten minutes. Yeah okay, the odd nice line but they are trying to make an impression on the world, where's the ambition beyond just making 'passable' shit. Sigh. I'm bored of myself complaining but it's the truth.
Between this and Yelawolf's failure, it seems like they're making music by committee. As if they're going "okay, we need a song for women, a song for the clubs, a song for lyrical fiends"... which is just a ridiculous way to do it. Doing it like that is bullshit; it's not organic art, it's like they're trying to second-guess what's popular and adhere to it, Eminem used to do the opposite.
We know that is happening to a degree also as Yelawolf was persuaded in part by Em to do "Good Girl", which is the most obviously forced song on the album and probably in Yela's career. He sounded totally uncomfortable and they even had to make a stupid skit to justify it, because it's obvious, and it ruined the flow of the album. Shame on Em right now. Let them be them my ass.
