Eminem's Lead Single Anticipation Thread

[LMShady]

His lead single better be funny.

Save that serious stuff for the other singles.

I actually has a dream that there's this song where he starts off with the usual "Chicka Chicka" and suddenly the beat turn all serious and he's like "Yo, guess who's back?" in a very serious tone.

lol

I have no idea what to expect of his first single. I'm certain it won't be a funny single. He'll probably just leave the Shady songs for the album instead of a single

What's there to be serious about? After Relapse Em had to tell his fans "c'mon I was just joking on Relapse.."

This time, I think he'll go back to joking around.

Don't get me wrong, I really wish/pray/hope that it's a funny single. Maybe C'mon Let Me Ride was a little glimpse.

Not Afraid's good, I would love it.

Not Afraid's good, I would love it.

I love Recovery, but I wouldn't want it again, you know? Looking for a fresh experience.

I love "TES" & "MMLP", but I wouldn't want it again, you know? Looking for a fresh experience.

What I meant was, I would love something as grand as Not Afraid, and yet be humorous.

Em doing songs like TRSS and WM again won't really be a fresh experience.

Still Not Afraid

[Notalius]

i'm just gonna repeat what i said a couple of months ago .. i want a single that is controversial yet funny at the same time like who knew or marshall mathers

[Fleka]

I really don`t know what we can expect.

[Eedee]

[Jason M.]

I want a funny single no accent.....taking shots at everyone and creates so much controversy like TRSS.

First single: CLEAR FEATURING NAS

First single: CLEAR FEATURING NAS

If he comes out with a song with Nas, there will be a serious glitch in the Matrix.

What is likely to happen - just as has been the case for every Eminem album - is that we'll get a first-single targeted to the masses, the mainstream. Up till Recovery, the main - common - feature of the first singles was the intention to stir controversy , whilst at the same time reflecting the current image of what Eminem represented. With Recovery, or more specifically 'Not Afraid', the intention part changed, but it was nonetheless targeted at the mainstream audience, and it did represent the "new" current image of Eminem.

The keyword here is "strategy". How does Interscope attract the highest amount of potential consumers? Do not think the release of the 'Despicable' freestyle back in 2010 just came out of the blue. It would seem to me that the main purpose of this track was to reach the more rap-oriented listeners, whom might not have been fully convinced by the - more mainstream - 'Not Afraid' single.

I want something original, something groundbreaking, like "Stan". That song was so original, and broke so much ground for Eminem
