I like it! Never heard of this dude before. "Crack a Bottle" still sucks, though.

This is his weakest single ever.
Plus it has the irrelivant and ever irritating 50 Cent on it.
I love Em, but this doesn't deserve to be a success. It's very grade-school. Where's the gowth?

They might as well make it the first single. It'd be pretty stupid to cancel this.

No, I said it wasn't Eminem's first official single. This is a collaborative effort.

I know what you mean by saying that this isn't the "comeback" song. I was listening to 'Lose Yourself' and saying, this song is epic. Eminem's "comeback" song will surely be epic and huge in the sense that that was whereas this song might be big the way songs like 'Without Me' was. It's his first single, regardless of who's on there but it's not the song to say "Eminem is BACK!!!" Hopefully that'll be out just before the album and will explode right away!

Are you just assuming eminem is gonna have another big bubblegum pop/rap as his first single? (without me, just lose it) or do you know for a fact? Maybe he got nothing, maybe he doesn't have the song that says em is back this time around. Maybe this song is meant to be it?

This is his weakest single ever. Worse than "Just Lose It" and "Ass Like That"? I think not. But it definitely is underwhelming for the first track we've heard from Eminem in a while. His rapping is definitely an improvement over most of his post- 8 Mile output, but nothing really outstanding. The production is also rather unremarkable, and the chorus is just weak.

He needs to come across a more urban and hardcore now. Skip the bubblegum rap stuff. In a way he has already proved himself....He is a rap legend and should blow us away with soemthing hardcore, not a song aiming for massive airplay.

But I can't see Eminem coming back with a new album and not having one of his epic songs on it. All of his albums have them. He usually does start off with the dumb bubbly-rap song to kick start things and get his foot in the door, then he smashes the door open with the epic song. ...well, somewhat. I'm thinking that's what's going to happen this time at least.

LOL, isn't Eminem like 40 now? Give it up.
Eminem, Dr. Dre, and 50 all had great careers but they need to go after their audience, not one that competes, HAHA with Taylor Swift, Metro Station, and the Jonas Brothers.
Two of the three will be influential for years to come in a obviously dying hip\hop industry. Everything goes away and comes back, rap is currently dying.
Eminem and 50 are about as relevant as Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey from Full House these days, come on, why are they even trying. Think about 50's latest single, LOL HOWLLLL!

His Pop Chart history so far: www2.uta.edu/hunt/charts/eminem.htmlMy Name Is - #29 Forgot About DRE - #30 The Real Slim Shady - #15 Stan - #31 Without Me - #1 Cleaning Out My Closet - #7 Hailie's Song - #50 Lose Yourself - #1 Superman - #10 Sing For The Moment - #5 Just Lose It - #5 Encore - #20 Mockingbird - #7 Like Toy Soldiers - #24 Ass Like That - #47 When I'm Gone - #13 Shake That - #13 Welcome To Detroit - #37 Smack That - #4 So... my theory has never actually happened before. Unless you consider 'Mockingbird' the epic song to 'Just Lose It' or 'Lose Yourself' the epic song to 'Without Me'. But it *could* happen and I'm thinking it might!

I actually think this is a better 1st single than Just Lose It, but yes, no doubt there will be at least one bigger hit from the album. This is still the 1st single though.

I think this will go top 20 for sure on POP. Maybe top 10? Pretty good for his return. Hopefully his solo single will for sure hit the top 10 and maybe top 5 or #1

Damn, just when I thought that Eminem was the last mainstream rapper with a little bit of ingenuity... he had to literally xerox a beat from an old French song. Rappers have literally copied and sampled every beat there is from the 80s and 90s... it's so funny to see that they're now having to go further back and find old French songs from the '70s.
