Why wasn't "So Far..." The 1st Single?

[phillyboy0817]

SO FAR is awesome,shit is on repeat!!!

[slimsoxshady]

Feels more like an album song. At least for me it does.

[Kill You]

So Far would have totally flopped as a single and would not fit as a lead single at all.

This is true. So Far... is a better song but as a single? Nah.

[Riis]

This is bad but not as bad as the idiots that said The Monster shouldn't have been a single, or even made the Standard Edition.

[4Corners]

The Monster is garbage. It's some Katy Perry type shit. It's there simply for the possibility of becoming a radio song. Thing is, Em doesn't need radio songs to sell big.

If Berzerk wasn't the first single, that song would have served no purpose. Shit I wouldn't have been mad if Berzerk, Survival, Asshole were bonus tracks along with Don't Front, and throw Baby, Desperation, Groundhog Day, Beautiful Pain are on the main album.

Would have been a 9/10 album probably.

The Monster will be a major success and will boost sales of the album, plus it is 100000000000 times better than Love The Way You Lie. I don't mind it at all. Yeah it is upbeat and poppy, but other than that it is actually pretty good.

[Trilla]

Because, when you're Eminem, the sound of the first single SHOULDN'T sound like the rest of the album.

Because that's how you trick people into buying your shit.

[Sofi1993]

So Far.. is probably my least favourite song on the album. As of right now.

[EmIsKingOfHipHop]

because it sucks.

[4Corners]

So Far is his funniest song in a minute, hands down. I'm surprised people can't see the classic Shady in that song.

[Mr Change]

Totally fine not being the first single.

I love this song, though.

[Kenneth Kaniff]

So Far was supposed to be the first single.

[4Corners]

I like MMLP2, it's a very good album. Imagine how much better the tracklist would look like this though.

1. Bad Guy
2. Parking Lot
3. Rhyme or Reason
4. So Much Better
5. Groundhog Day
6. Legacy
7. Baby
8. Rap God
9. Desperation
10. Brainless
11. Stronger Than I Was
12. Beautiful Pain
13. So Far...
14. Love Game
15. Headlights
16. Evil Twin

BONUS
17. Survival
18. Asshole
19. Berzerk
20. Don't Front
21. Wicked Ways

Fuck The Monster. Headlights would have been enough for that crossover single, Fun singer with Em apologizing to his mom = massive hit. And he wouldn't be sacrificing himself as an artist like The Monster.
