Has anyone else noticed that this song came out of NOWWHERE and this week is likely to debut in the top 65 of the pop chart! :o It's the most added to stations according to Mediabase too.
I had no idea that this group was releasing another song, let alone another hit to pop. What does everyone think about this song and its chances?

I've only heard it twice, and for this song, that's not enough to form an opinion on it. It seems to be a song where the group just keeps dropping wisecracks on each other, and when all is said and done, it's supposed to be some kind of shot at the musical side of pop culture or something. A lot of people on this board are going to find it annoying, since Eminem's in it and the idea is kind of silly. I can't seem to find the lyrics anywhere yet. I guess I'll have to pay more attention next time it comes on. It does have a pretty cool instrumental, at least.
It definitely will do better than "Purple Hills" if it tries to.

I'll repost what I said in the other topic! LOL!
Ugh. I've listened this several times now just to make sure of this. I'm so disapointed in Shady Records' recent material. "Got Some Teeth" by Obie Trice was one big joke. The music was corny and the song was just plain stupid. I was expecting something great from D12. "Purple Hills" and "Fight Music" were great...
Now that I've listened to the song a few times, what do I get? Another joke song. This one is worst than "Got Some Teeth" even. The music EXTRA corny and the "rapping" is just the group members arguing about who's the center of attention of the band. This isn't hip-hop. Eminem will start to lose credibility and go the way of Ja-Rule if he continues like this. .. and yes, people will notice this song because of Eminem. He's doing about 65% of the rapping and the chorus on his own. That's another thing, the chorus is terrible. Eminem shouldn't sing. Sure, it worked on songs like "Hailie's Song" and "Kim", but in this song... nah. Based on my first few listens, I give this song a big fat F... nah a D+.
There are some funny lyrics though.. like "In the SUPERMAN video, I was in the back. In the LOSE YOURSELF video, I was in the back" LOL!
Who knows? This song might grow on me, but so far, it's just a ridiculous mess of a "song" that cannot be taken seriously.

From these descriptions it sounds like "Without Me". Should be a smash.

If it features Eminem, it's bound to be top 20...at least. It's come out the gate this fast, don't be surprised if it can get to top 10.

(Intro - Eminem) I don't know dude... I think everyone's all jealous and s**t cuz I'm like the lead singer of a band dude... And I think everyone's got a **bleep**in problem with me dude... And they need to take it up with me after the show... Because...
(Chorus - Eminem) These chicks don't even know the name of my band... But they're all on me like they wanna hold hands... Cuz once I blow they know that i'll be the man... All because I'm the lead singer of my band...
(Verse 1- Eminem) So I get off stage right and drop the mic Walk up to the hot chicks and I'm all like "What's up ladies, my name's Slim Shady" I'm the lead singer in D12 baby They're all like "Oh my god it's him" "Becky oh my **bleep**in' god it's Eminem" "I swear to **bleep**in god dude you **bleep**in rock" "Please won't you please let me suck your **bleep**" And by now the rest of the fellas get jealous Especially when I drop the beat and do my acapellas All the chicks start yellin', all the hot babes Throw their bras and panties on stage So like every single night they pick a fight with me But when we fight it's kinda like siblin rivalry Cuz they're back on stage the next night with me Dude I just think you're tryna steal the light from me Yesterday Kuniva tried to pull a knife on me Because I told him Jessica Alba's my wife to be This rock star s**t, it's the life for me And all the other guys just despise me b
(Chorus) These chicks don't even know the name of my band... But they're all on me like they wanna hold hands... Cuz once I blow they know that i'll be the man... All because I'm the lead singer of my band... My band (repeated 8xs)
(Verse 2- Swifty) You just wanna see a ***** backwards don't you Hey dad how come we don't rap on proto Smash these vocals and do a performance But we in the van and he in a tour bus You don't want my autograph, yous a liar And no I'm Swift (oh I thought you was Kuniva) What the hell is wrong with that dressing room Cuz my s**t is lookin smaller than a decimal See I know how to rap, see it's simple but All I did was read a Russell Simmons book So I'm more intect, tryna get on the map Doin' jumpin jacks while get whipped on my back
(Verse 3- Kuniva and Konartis) Look him little punk ass thinkin' he the s**t Yeah I know man find himself takin on a flick Hey I thought we had an interview with DJ Clue (Em: No I had an interview not you two) You gonna be late for soundcheck Man I ain't goin' to soundcheck But our mics are screwed up and his always sound best You know what man I'ma say somethin Hey yo Em (Em: You got somethin to say?!) Man no I thought you bout to tell him off, man what's up Man I'ma tell him when I feel like it, man shut up And you ain't even back me up when we s'posed to be crew When I was bout to talk right after you I swear, I swear man
(Chorus) These chicks don't even know the name of my band... But they're all on me like they wanna hold hands... Cuz once I blow they know that i'll be the man... All because I'm the lead singer of my band...
(Verse 4- Proof) They say the lead singers rock, but the group does not Once we sold out arenas to the amusement park I'm gonna let the world know that proof is hot I Should cut his mic off when the musics starts Ready to stap on a dumbass fan Every time I'hear (Hey dude I love your band) We ain't a band **bleep** we don't play instruments So why he get 90 and we only get 10 percent And these guys they can find every area code (Em: Proof carry my bag) **bleep** carry your own Can't make it to the stage, security in my way (Who the **bleep** are you? Where's Obie and Dre?!)
(Verse 5- Bizarre) God dammit I'm sick of this group Time for me to go solo and make some looT I told you I made the beats and wrote all the raps Till Kon Artis slipped me some crack Lose Yourself video I was in the back Superman video I was in the back **bleep** the media, I got some suggestions **bleep** Marshall, ask us the questions Like who's D12, how we get started (What about Eminem?) **bleep** are you retarded? Anyway I'm the popularest guy in the group Big ass stomache, **bleep**es think I'm cute 50 told me to do situps to get buff I did two and a half and then I couldn't get up **bleep** D12, I'm outta this band I'm gonna start a group with the real Roxanne
(Eminem) Girl why cant you see your the only one for me and it just tears my ass apart to know that you dont know my name
(Chorus- Bizarre - {Bizarre also}) These chicks don't even know the name of my band...{ha ha} But they're all on me like they wanna hold hands...{**bleep** Marshall} Cuz once I blow they know that i'll be the man... All because I'm the lead singer of my band... My Band (Repeated 9x)
(Outro) The hottest boy band in the world... D12!
(Eminem as a salsa singer) I'm the lead singer of my band, I get all the girl's to take off their underpants And the lead singer of my band, my salsa Makes all the pretty girl's wanna dance My salsa, look out for my next single, it's called My Salsa... My salsa, salsa, salsa, salsa, my salsa Makes all the pretty girls wanna dance And take off their underpants My salsa makes all the pretty girls wanna dance And take off their underpants, my salsa (Where'd everybody go?)
Yeah I think it's about how some rock/rap groups have disputes because the lead singer thinks he's all that and has control of everything and gets all the attention from the groupies.Β I like the song its fun and catchy, and Eminem takes a crack at higher range vocals, but they kinda sound annoying.

From the lyrics it sounds like a long song...
I'm anxious to hear it, it's been getting mixed reviews

I'm sure I'll be in the minority on this one, but I like "My Band" a lot. Maybe it's just because it's been so long since we've had new stuff from Eminem, but I think this is pretty good and funny. I can see it blowing up and going top 5, but I can also see how it could stall in the 20s. My prediction is #4, but I could be way off. Regardless, this'll chart for sure.

The song isn't that good. It's almost a parody of current rap music, except I think D12 might've actually wanted it to be taken seriously.
I don't really care for the song, and it doesn't seem to have any pop appeal. Just for that fact that Eminem's in it, it'll do moderatly well.
Prediction: #20

This song is absolutely atrocious. Eminem is only good thing it has. I am so disappointed. I say it gets to #32 and the album barely goes gold.

I'm just hearing it now for the first time.
The beat and hook are incredibly catchy and infectious.
The under 16 crowd should absolutely eat this up, especially since Eminem is a part of it.
The video should only help to propel this up the charts, because it's sure to feature juvenile, immature acts that clueless young teenagers find "funny".
It's not a great song overall, but the beat and hook are fun, and as has been said, Eminem only helps.
It's going to be huge.
I would even say it could turn out to be a sleeper summer hit, a la Purple Hills, but it's been released a bit too early for that, and even if it is massive, it should burn out by June.

Wasn't Obie Trice a member of D12?
I like this song though! :)

This can be HUGE.
I am predicting big things for this single, not only because Eminem is featured particularly but that in this new band style it'll sound fresh to many.
My Prediction: #3

Haven't heard it yet, but this'll be top 40 possibly by the end of the week or the beginning of next week. Without even hearing the song, this song will peak at #5.

So, now that we know what D12's next single will be, how about we go ahead and open up a thread for "My Salsa"? ;)

It should do almost as well (maybe a little better or maybe a tad worse) than purple hills. The part where they're like, "What about shady?...bi*** are you retarded?" cracks me up. I know it's not right, but it makes me laugh. However, there is a tendency for songs with a lot of talking to get dropped quickly. Alicia Keys - You Don't Know My Name for example, it's been dropped here in Milwaukee and I see it's losing spins on a regular basis. Songs with an intro time of zero with a bunch of talking at the beginning of the song or talking sometime in the middle of the song (to the point where it really interupts the flow) really ends up hearting a song in the long run.

The only way this isn't going to be bigger than "Purple Hills" (on the charts) is if cheap channel drops another ban on them.
