I'm actually looking forward to "The Monster." All of Eminem's music has been horrible lately, but all of it has performed pretty decently. His fans are annoying, and they aren't even that loud.
Eminem should've waited with Rap God and release it as the 3rd single after The Monster.
I hope TM will open with 450k+. And it's possible that it has a video,
since it has been confirmed Eminem and Rihanna are releasing video(s) next week.
Radio payola + digital release + video streaming all in first week =
He should have went with a different artist. I love Rihanna her features, but using her as the hook girl is so 2010... but it shall slay. Eminem will probably slaughter Gaga and Katy, like I expected since the beginning of the year.
If he got trash like "Rap God" and "Berzerk" to #1, then a Rihanna feature not hitting #1 would definitely be a fail. Hit or not, his album will probably be trash & still sell ~800k first week. Naming his album MMLP2 is such a gimmick, too.
The worst thing we've heard this era and they were gonna make it the 2nd single? Even Manicure would have made a better single.
