Eminem is selling great but he'll hate himself in the morning for the song he's doing it with. It's the kind of disco-pop song he used to massacre other people for making.

Have you listened to the lyrics? Since when did a songs lyrics define its genre? It's obvious that LTWYL is a pop song. I mean it's #1 on the pop panel and yet not even top 40 on the urban panel. There's a reason for that. |

If LTWYL is disco, then i will jump off of a bridge right now! The beat is no disco, the lyrics aren't disco-ish! To be more honest, this is like STAN he's just expressing his feelings!He talks about a real issue that happened to him and Rihanna and of course millions of people! P.S he's selling great yes, but Rihanna have nothing to do with him selling great!Eminem always been selling! WTF is wrong with people! |

Him saying this is a kind of song Em would diss in the past? Ah...No he has never dissed songs like this. That's whats funny to me. Em has never dissed songs like these. Now if that poster in comparing LTWYL to songs like the backstreet boys, britney spears, nsync, and christina agularia made then well thats not very smart. LTWYL is not even close to those type of songs. |

Have you listened to the lyrics? It's a pop song. Just because a song has a bit darker lyrics does not keep it from the pop genre. |

I guess all songs that make the pop chart are pop then right? If you consider LTWYL pop then you must.

I guess all songs that make the pop chart are pop then right? If you consider LTWYL pop then you must. That doesn't have anything to do with my point. You said that "LTWYL" is not a pop song because of its lyrics which is generally off the mark. The genre that a song falls under primarily stems from how it comes off SONICALLY (by means of sound, not lyric) and LTWYL has a very strong pop hook, melody etc, despite it having a rap in it. "California Gurls" and "Break Your Heart" have raps in them, does that stop them from being "pop songs"? For example: Arrive, climb up four flights to the orange side Rearrange my mind In turquoise Union, Union, Union City blue Skyline, passion, Union City blue What is keeping those lyrics from belonging to a pop song, country song, blues song, rock/alternative song, a dance song etc etc? |

California Gurls lead artist in Katy Perry. Break Your Heart's lead artist is some Cruze dude or something. Neither are rappers. My point still stands that the poster who said this is the type of song Em disses in the past was wrong. That's what started this. You can't compare this song to Backstreet Boys, Nsync, Britney Spears, or Christina Agulara. It's not even close.
Since when does Melody and Sonically make something pop?
Tool "Pushit" has a strong melody. Does that make that pop? I don't think so. I also think the hook to that song is strong. Does that make it pop?

Genre is just a way of categorizing a song, and many songs fall under more than one genre. LTWYL is obviously a rap song as well as a pop song. The term "pop" is surprisingly broad term that changes with the times because yes, pretty much anything that fits in well with Top 40 radio is pop. Reminds me of the arguments people used to have about whether Mariah is pop or R&B. Well, she's obviously both because she sings R&B songs that fit well on Top 40 radio.

You can't compare this song to Backstreet Boys, Nsync, Britney Spears, or Christina Agulara. It's not even close. Since when does Melody and Sonically make something pop? Tool "Pus**t" has a strong melody. Does that make that pop? I don't think so. I also think the hook to that song is strong. Does that make it pop? Just because Katy and Taio are the leads wouldnt automatically define the genre in which the song is. Cascada has released dance songs and pop songs but all songs on itunes for them are classified as dance. Eminem while a rap artist doesnt mean everyone of his songs are rap and i think LTWYL is a pop song. Rihanna has the chorus and its very catchy. For the video they chose a huge star (megan fox) to play in it. That would get the video attention which is what pop songs really focous on. Not to mention it went to number 1 on chr. It doesnt matter who the lead artist is (or the lyrics for that matter) that doesnt determine whether the song is rap or pop. Without Rihanna id say its a rap song. But imagine if it was just Rihanna would it be a rap song? Hell no. Itd be pop. Its a pop song. A rapper + a female/male singing the chorus is the perfect formula for a pop song, which LTWYL is. and btw im pretty sure No one compared this song to Backstreet Boys, Nsync, Britney Spears, or Christina Agulara. THose acts arnt the only thing pop has to offer and u make it sound like it is. |

You don't seem to be really reading what I am saying, I said LTWYL has a strong POP melody and hook, regardless of whether Eminem is the main artist or not, the main hook, melody that is sung during the chorus is indeed pop which is repeated several times through the course of the song, which I think is fair to justify the song as a pop song. And how a song comes off SONICALLY and melodically has ALWAYS been a part of how a song is judged genre-wise. No one says 'oh this Taylor Swift song is too pop because of the tone of the lyrics', it's because of the production and perhaps the vocals, arrangement and so on. Does it offend you that Eminem made a pop song? |

Have you listened to the lyrics? Lyrics don't define genre so much as production, arrangement, melody, etc. This is decidedly a pop song. It's pretty obvious that Eminem has watered down his music and sold out on his last two albums in order to stay relevant, and as the original poster said, the irony of him doing things he originally mocked others for is not lost on many. And I find igorant and naive to say EVERY pop song must be comparable to either The Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, Britney Spears, or Christina Aguilera. Pop is the broadest genre on the charts, does every rap or hip hop song have to sound like either Biggie or Tupac to be considered rap? Not even close Exactly. Bubblegum pop is just one of many categories within the genre. |
