What kind of a lead single?

[Jason M.]

Something funny (My Name Is, The Real Slim Shady, Without Me, Just Lose It, We Made You) or something more serious, Not Afraid style?

[Guess_Who]

I think it will be a serious single. And I think there won't be skits in this album neither. Something more Recovery style, but who knows, he could go in a completely different direction this time...

[Jason M.]

I agree with you. But I think there will be skits.

[Notalius]

i think he should do something like who knew or marshall mathers as the first single. a single that is serious but at the same time somewhat funny and controversial.

[slim-idiot]

A club banger? Or something like Fastlane.

[Kill You]

Needs to be seriously funny...as in he says funny things and pokes fun at subjects while being somewhat serious too.

Good idea.

[OMEGA]

Stadium music, like Cinderella Man.

[Jason M.]

Nope. A calmer, poppy single would rip the charts. Imagine all these casual listeners of songs like LTWYL hearing an Eminem song which features screaming, guitars...

On a second though, that'd be AWESOME.

Pretty much this. I don't think he should try funny because "throw that" wasn't that good. I know that was a feature but still he needs to go the serious route. Seriously amazing. I just feel like hes going to drop a single that makes us go WOW!

Features don't count.

i always look forward to his humorous club songs. Cum on everybody, Drug Ballad, Superman (im stretching for this one) Hello, and WTP are always very enjoyable and never seem to get old. adding another to the collection would make this STAN very happy

Menzo & RiseFromTheAshez just got me hyped, that's my all-time most anticipated collabo

[cooper121]

A serious song, whether emotional or not.
Releasing a funny single will not help him get the buzz he wants, it's not 2000 anymore and people don't look at Em as a goofball nowadays.

This thread says otherwise its you vs 90% of everyone else who said funny single.

[Mr. Porter]

Does any musical artist get as much album speculation from the fans? I just can't imagine any other singer having constant discussion about this type of stuff. I think it's one of the great things about being an Eminem fan. There's always other people who are just as obsessed with him as you are.
