Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!

Thursday, January 06 2011 5:00 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Album Reviews, Blog
For pretty much all of his incredible career, Em’s first singles have been Slim Shady-fueled, celebrity-bashin’, tongue planted-firmly-in-cheek tunes that scream, “OK, Jimmy you want a radio record, here you fuckin’ go, buddy.” A lyrical master dumbin’ down for the dum dums. Thankfully, Marshall switched the style up on Recovery. Produced by one of Drake’s production partners-in-crime Boi-1da, Em’s “Not Afraid” is a stirring, here I stand declaration that’s painfully honest about his professional and personal problems of the past few years. It feels and sounds stadium status but it’s also sensitive and subtle with wonderful wordplay paired with a haunting huge hook. Say it loud and proud: The white dude from Detroit is still one of the greatest to ever grip a mic. And he’s still standing.
FIRST!!!
i hate the new em, he sucks
@CapricornReligion I agree with you. I love that song.
Great single! Still wondering what Single will be at the top-spot. I bet it’s “Find Your Love” or something. SMH.
yup and Recovery was the best album of 2010
i just don’t get the hype. *kanye shrug*
THEY MAD! EM WINS
GOAT!
well sure… since he’s indirectly your boss.
lol you misspelled eminem.
i really cant wait to read what you wrote on the 2 singles ahead of this. they have high expectations and you better live up to it
jst hope BMF or hard in the paint dont get the top spot
eminem keeps gettin better, relapse was on sum creative concept shit, sumthing most rappers cant do let alone for a whole album. then recovery showd em could still do it sober and really came out with a new style for himself. and now the leaked shit(difficult, syllable, cocaine) and the banks joints ETC. em is poised to sell even more with the next one, i am really excited to see what he does next, hope he dont retire
best song of the year is BOBBY RAY 5th DIMENSION
One of my favorite songs of 2010
Its weird its like…. I just noticed something. It doesnt matter if Em was to do a Straight 40 Minute Freestyle spitting Insane lyrics. People would ALWAYS say this. “Yeah but, I miss the Em on The Marshall Matters lp”. Lmao I mean c’mon now. I wont lie tho. When I listen to the First single it took me a minute to try and see where em was coming from. But the I said “You know what? Why not? Switch it up Em”. If Em would of came back dissing Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, etc. EVERYBODY… and I reapeat EVERYBODY would of said “Oh god Again!” “Wow I guess someome didnt Mature” or “Grow up Em switch the flow”.. Lol what Im basically saying is…… As a Artist YOU HAVE TO SWITCH IT UP… YOU HAVE TOO.. Point Blank. If Em would of came back and tried to Spit like he he did on his first Three Albums, It would of killed the purpose of calling those Three albums a Classic… Do you get it? Lol anyway Im sorry but. Im just Tried of people complaining about that Shit. Its cool for Jay but NOT EM?. And Im a Jay fan too. But dont try and Throw dirt on Em as if “Recovery” was Staright up Bullshit. FUCK THAT. It was a Great Album. a Very Great album.. Lol anyway let me stop. I just needed to vent on that for a moment….
Wow, Old Yeller Nigga actually didnt dick ride Jay-Z in this post (or did I miss it?)
Lose Yourself > Without Me > The Real Slim Shady > My Name Is > Purple Pills > Not Afraid > My Band > Just Lose It > We Made You.
@not fucking around Co-sign
Em=G.O.A.T!!!!!Fucking haters want the old Em when lyrically he IS!!!!Get over yourselves!!!Recovery=Best album hands down!Shady Motherfuckers!!!!Haters Eat a FAT DICK!!!!
Eminem has rapradar on the payroll
Best Rapper Alive….ask Jay-Z
Not mad at this track placement.
thankful this song made the list and not love the way you lie…. heard that way too many times on the radio this summer.
and to whoever said find your love gonna be in the next two….. im gonna be pissed as fuck if it is.
#1 BMF #2 no hands????
Well in the previous post I predicted no hands, bmf, and hard in the paint in the top spots. Throw in O Lets Do It too, forgot about that one. But since the white nigga Em got the 3 spot (which I aint mad at, lyrically he went off for the most part even with a somewhat unbearable hook. Nice to know lyrics can carry a single so far) im gonna assume the top 2 is BMF obviously, thats the one lock…but the other one…hmmm…since YN dickrides Wale, im gonna say No Hands in the two spot.
And Last Train to Paris one of the worst albums of the year, its gotta be on there!
power > not afraid
Was kinda iffy when I 1st heard it, but it grew on me and became my ish. Banger.
EASILY ONE OF THE WORST EMINEM TRACKS I’VE HEARD. RECOVERY SUCKED BALLS. HE WENT THE POP ROUTE AND COMPLETELY LOST HIS EDGE. DOES “NOT AFRAID” HAVE A BEAT? CAUSE I DON’T HEAR ONE. CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG. ALL THAT SINGING WAS FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!
This song was dope. Big em fan
P.S. THE EMINEM ON “ALL SHE WROTE” > ANYTHING ON RECOVERY. WORD.
shoulda been # 1 … no question
Even tho’ there’s only 2 spot left, it seems kinda weird 2 me if “Love The Way You Lie” didn’t make the list. I feel like that was easily a bigger single
this was probably the worst, most cringe-worthy song of the last 10 years. eminem has become just as corny as puff.
rap fans are getting dumber and dumber.
em is the best 2 ever do it but i fuckin hate this song. i dont know whats worse – the singin or the accents. personally i just wanna hear the “rappin his muthafuckin ass off em”. not the “pop music sing songy shit em”.
I gotta be the biggest Eminem hater alive, but u know what, idc. I hate Em regardless of how many black ppl cosign this dude.
Busta Rhymes is betta
Nas is betta
Mos Def is betta
Jayz is betta
Rakim is betta
Big L is still betta
Canibus is betta
Talib is betta
Stic Man is betta
Tupac is still betta
Big Is still betta
Big Pun is way betta
Az is betta
Pharoah Monche is betta
Basically Em is not the greatest, but he is good
Noooooooo, it should be #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice to see lyricism still mathers.
@CapricornReligion i cosign everything you said!
NUMBER ONE!!!! Fuck Y’all!
Don’t mess wit’ the GOAT!
Lol… you put Waka before Em… ARe YoU Insane?!
great song
EM IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL LYRICALLY,….THERE ARE ALOT OF GREAT RAPPERS OUT THERE NO DOUBT, BUT EM, IS JUST ONE OF THOSE DUDES WHO IS A STAND OUT FROM THE PACK…..HOPEFULLY HE SIGNS SOME MORE NEW ARTISTS AND GETS CRAZY WITH THEM LIKE HE DID WITH 50 CENT. WORD IS HE’S SCOUTIN SOME NEW DUDE FROM VEGAS,….I CHECKED HIM OUT AND HES ACTUALLY NICE ON THE MIC.
