Eminem should have done this for the singles on Recovery

Postby Heffernan » Feb 13th, '13, 15:50

the first single of recovery...

White Trash Party - before the album came out

Not Afraid - right as the album was coming out

Love The Way You Lie - a bit after the album came out

Almost Famous - while he was doing the home and home tour he should have made a video very similar to Sing For The Moment...

Space Bound - a few months after the album came out..final single

fuck no love as a single..makes no sense and the video is stupid (i like lil wayne...thats not why i say that)

It was a huge album and sold millions, I'd say they got it right the first time and I'm not even a big fan of Recovery.

it sold well..but as a long time fan i hate the idea of not afraid being the first single...there is no point to WTP being on the album if it wasnt the first single


not to mention everybody i personally know hates not afraid...for its obvious cornyness...its hard to listen to that song with out cringing honestly

I think his single choices were justified. Almost famous woulda been dope but would get no airplay because of the cursing.

The single order doesn't matter.

He's going to sell what he's going to sell.

He should have made a better album, that's what he should have done.

Honestly, how he did it was just fine and perfect. WTP as the first single? I don't think so.

So Not Afraid is corny but Lil Wayne isn't? Okay then.


But Lil Wayne is ALLOWED to be corny, don't you see? Eminem can't say a corny line or else it'll ruin the whole song.

Nah. The promoting and marketing plan was really effective. Dropping only Not Afraid, which was a huge hit, before the album release.

Then to keep the momentum going, he released the biggest record on the album.. One month after its release. It was perfect. That's why it sold that much.

Not Afraid was a perfect lead single. I wouldn't change any of the single choices on Recovery.
Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
And I got an Evil Twin
So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?

WTP did not belong on Recovery, period. It was the worst song on the entire album by FAR.

eminem is by far my favorite rapper...i hardly like lil wayne..the only reason i mentioned i like him is because he usually gets a ton of hate...so i wanted to stress that i thought no love was dumb...but not because i dont like lil wayne..cuz i kinda like him

I think the single choices were fine although Space Bound should've been the 3rd single. I think WTP would've been a better 4th single and not release No Love.

the only "good" thing of wtp is the chorus

The Recovery singles were perfect choices. That's why the album sold like 8 million copies.
