    Shady says in NOT AFRAID:

    ” To the fans I`ll never let you down again I`m Back I promise to never go back on the promise ”

    Thank you Mr. Marshall bruce Mathers.

    The greatest MC to breath on a Microphone.

  2. Yooo says:

    DOPE DOPE DOPE

  3. matthew says:

    lol jhj !
    also, its funny seeing the haters try to hate but it comes off as kind of half-baked.

  4. Drucifer1983 says:

    @ Matthew

    Its Eminem bruh, dude could write the bible and cats would find a reason to complain about it

  5. YN's Weed Carrier says:

    Solid, but nothing special.

  6. HIPPOPVOICE says:

    please who ever said that em>>>jay must be smoking somming…………..JAY Z>>>>>>>FEMINENE

  7. kc says:

    First single wise, this is Eminem’s best song.

    You know what the best thing is? It’s clear he’s listened to his fans thoughts of his weaknesses, and he’s definietely looked like he’s fixed it.

    He could almost be the perfect rapper again.

  8. Roy says:

    Wow. Em, you’ve got me convinced. It’s been a long time since I’ve been convinced his next album would be great.

  9. Solar says:

    notting special!!

  10. llll says:

    “You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
    For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you’re getting capped”
    Is that a subliminal shot at T.I? its at 1:30 i think!

  11. Yu says:

    Awesome. Dude is great and I’ve never been fan before until he disapperaed.

    Hip Hop is better off with Shady.

    Hip Hop will be on life support if had quit.

  12. YN's Weed Carrier says:

    Matter of fact, this is kinda great. Gets better with 2nd time you listen.

  13. Once a hater says:

    WTF??????

    I hated this dude but he has come out with NOTHIN but crazy shit lately

    HOW??/

    that song is DOPEEEEEE

  14. Lil Majer The Cartune says:

    btw… meant to say this in my last comment… this song reminds me of “Mosh” in a small way….. or maybe it’s just me lol

  15. B.Dot says:

    This is a great song. No bias. No bull.

  16. ireland says:

    fukin love it fuk wateva any1 says eminem is the best rap artist on the fuking planet haters are just jealous u kno why

  17. llll says:

    Okay, haters. I’m trying to understand u, REALLY!!
    First, u hated on the funny singles he’s makin every album.
    Then, complain about the accent on relapse.
    Now, u complain about the hook. While ur okay listening to any other hook. But because its eminem u wanna hate. I’m not a dickrider, Im just a true fan of hip-hop and i listened to too many Pac hooks that made me almost hate on the song. BUT I COULDN’T!! because its true HIP-HOP!

  18. Lol says:

    lol @ the eminem fans here going crazy, and they have every right to go crazy. the dude is in the news like only when his album comes out, unlike other rappers who dominate and hog the news every day.

    song is ill as fuck.

    enjoy it eminem fans, you guys deserve it. this dude even apologized to you guys on his first single FOR GODS SAKE

  19. Nipsyfire says:

    he said he not using the accent no moe,he said he not going back to the shit relapse no more!! if u listen to the lyrical content it’s madness its his best single since he dropped lose yourself in ’03..it obvious Em gonna get hate he a white rapper who rules the black music industry so there’s the hate plus he did one bad album!!! everyone has son!!! LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE…..
    Single for me is 10/10 because it has replay value for me shit like we made you,just lose it,ass like that could be listened to once it was painful lol!! but this is fire 10/10 im not a big em fan but bring on RECOVERY JUNE 22nd

  20. ya boy says:

    Can’t lie, this is a great song. I’ve listened to it 4 times now and gets better and better.

    Well done indeed Marshall.

  21. shadysking says:

    thank u marshall

  22. Firdas says:

    Relapse album wasn’t even that bad, but yeah it wasn’t Eminem gone for 4 years standards. Still better than almost everything else out there, but that just shows how high Em keeps the bar for himself.

    Crazy fucking song.

  23. JONAH says:

    HMMM the verdict is pretty damn good…..especially for a single. You gotta remember what this is people. And the verses are bananas AND he’s talking about some real shit

  24. not afraid says:

    not afraid to say – Eminem is the best alive.

    and I thought no one would ever top Rakim in that list for me.

  25. Pickup says:

    fuck a black dick.. the word play is crazy on this…

    some ive been able to catch

    “all those who looked down on me im tearin down your balcony”

    “thought i had it mapped out but i diddn’t those fuckin black clouds”

    “lift the whole liquor counter up because im liftin the bar”

  26. TdotHIPpy says:

    He’s redicuosly over rated! He’s can spit and everything but he’s not the nicest he would probably say the same thing to.

  27. !! AMAZING !! says:

    GOOD JOB MAN, YOU DID IT ONE MORE TIME, FUCK HATERS !! KEEP IT UP EM, RECOVERY BITCHESSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH

  28. who's he dissing says:

    People. he DEFINIETELY is taking a shot at a rapper when he says

    You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
    For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you’re getting capped”

    I’m not one of those guys who looks for shit like that and blows it out of proportion, but that is 100% a shot at a rapper.

    Has to be TI right?

    Great fuckin song btw.

  29. BIGUP says:

    lol @ YN, ” shhh, dont wake Paul Rosenberg up”!!

  30. Fallow Flass says:

    Relapse it was the accent.

    Recovery it’s gonna be the high pitched singy voice thing.

  31. jadf says:

    white fags geting all exited lol ……shit hippo
    p is sad

  32. Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid says:

    I see….Eminem is “Not Afraid” but all these rappers…actually…everyone who drops an album around his release date should be…

  33. Fallow Flass says:

    I think hannah montana is releasing an album on the same day.

  34. Alexander "Whyte Lye" says:

    This is one of his best new songs, its like Beutiful, When I’m gone, but alot better!!!! Keep it up man, dont lose your style!!!

  35. Chris says:

    WoW Eminem is the Best!

  36. Scruffyblaze says:

    He doesn’t say “Fuck your feelings”, he says “Fuck your fillings” – it’s a play on words. “Instead of getting crowned you’re getting capped”. You can get your teeth crowned and capped. It’s a play on words. Feelings/fillings. Double meaning and all that.

  37. JamieLondon says:

    Got This On Repeat.
    Great First Single.

  38. who's he dissing says:

    he’s got to be dissing TI or Rick Ross.

    Thats the only thing I can think of, and it’s definitely a shot considering the concept of the song and saying what he feels like and not hiding the truth.

  39. Nice says:

    This is a nice track..a break from the garbage thats out now especially drakes new crap..EM came through..Finally im not disapointed

  40. Drucifer1983 says:

    He’s cool with T.I bhruh, I think your reaching with that one, I honestly dont think there were any hidden disses in this one

  41. Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid says:

    how the fuck could he diss T.I. eminem said it himself Paper trail was all he was bumpin in 08..

  42. Biggi247 says:

    Amazing, didn’t know what to expect but this is exactly what he needed to do. Recovery will be amazing, I’m going to buy a copy for me and a couple more for other people. Support Hip Hop when they get it right and it gives better music next time round because the artist has motivation as they can see people are feeling their music and its connecting. Amazing.

  43. Scruffyblaze says:

    P.S. That’s not the real Recovery cover. That photo was taken during his shoot for ‘Beaitful’.

  44. mikey says:

    Eminem n T.I are friends
    its not T.I

  45. llll says:

    YEAH, i’m sorry for that one. i just saw someone talk about it and got hyper.
    and i think he was talking about his album “KING MATHERS”…that was supposed to be out in 07!!

  46. billy says:

    The reason I woke up at 6:45. Hell motherfucking damnit dick headed yes.

  47. who's he dissing says:

    yeah probably stretching.

    Em also not the type to create shit for nothing.

    I think deep down a bit of is a diss at Rick Ross, but he’s irrelevant to Eminem. So it’s rather a shot at people like him.

  48. mac DIESEL says:

    TRACK IS DOPE!!!! I’M FELLIN’ THIS ONE!!!! BUT YA’LL STANS BUGGIN’ WIT ALL THAT “CLASSIC” N “G.O.A.T” TALK!!!! FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
