[Drunky McBetidont]

who will cry to press first? sarah palin or jessica simpson?

he spoofs many

[Don Stugots]

trash

[razorboy]

guess who's back

Guess who wasn't missed.

[drjoek]

Way to push hot button names
To think he slammed Moby in one of his songs. Sounds pretty pathetic in retrospect.
M&M is going to prove to be a novelty NOT the visionary he was made into.

[Drunky McBetidont]

he should have to pay royalties to wierd al for his video success.

[hammersavage]

I thought he blew from the moment I saw him.

This might be his worst song which is saying something.

[ToiletCrusher]

Should be a public poll so we know who likes that hack.

[beachbum]

Fuck it!I like Eminem.You can't judge an artist or an album by the single.If that were the case everyone would think that the Clash were hacks for that "Train in Vain" disaster.

[styckx]

Terrible song, terrible video. His vocals are terrible, and the concept of spoofing/making fun of pop culture and acting retarded and wacky is tired.

trash

[El Mudo]

How edgy:thumbdown:

[WampusCrandle]

somewhat funny, completely self serving, and you can't fucking dance to it.

TRASH!

[Dougie Brootal]

im gonna go ahead and say trash without hearing it.

[dino_electropolis]

Uhm, so has he officially crossed over to Wierd AL-dom?


But that Palin chick in the video is smokin hot.


Trash the song, smash the video.

[drjoek]

Alright so 5 years later who is M&Ms target audience now? I would think those that were into him back in those days have lost interest. Who is going to find this gimmick fresh or interesting?

[razorboy]

Alright so 5 years later who is M&Ms target audience now?

Ten years later.


Edit: I guess you meant five years after Encore.

[drjoek]

Ten years later.

Even worse for him

The only thing he ever did that I liked was the thing where he takes his daughter to throw his wifes body in the river. Other than that who gives a fuck?

Wait why am I even posting in this thread three times? He doesn't even warrant that much effort.

[disneyspy]

even tho im a romo fan i took this in the same 'its just another fun slim shadey' video and song. i liked and i'm glad he's back,i say smash

[WampusCrandle]

who is M&Ms target audience now?

are you trying to be old and uncool?

[razorboy]

are you trying to be old and uncool?

Trying?? Ha.

[booster11373]

Yawn!

[badorties]

total trash, i tapped out before the end

his worst song, by far, has to be 'stan' ... such a laughable, total self serving pretenious load of crap

[drjoek]

are you trying to be old and uncool?


You kids get off my lawn!!!

[Sue_Bender]

You kids get off my lawn!!!


Prepare yourself for the inevitable flaming bag of dogshit, Doc!

[GreatAmericanZero]

i dont care about his music either way, but the video wasn't funny at all and usually his videos are funny. I laughed when they showed Jessica Simpson being all fat, and thats it

and he looks really young..did he have plastic surgery or something?

He just trimmed down and is probably enjoying a "healthier" lifestyle.

[ravn816]

Kim Kardashian has already come out and pretty much said, Meh, to the whole thing. I think Eminem has used up his edgyness at this point and most of the people in the video will take it in humor rather than offense.

If anyone does complain, it'll be Sarah Palin.

[John Galt]

He's been gone for years and this is what he comes back with? I don't want to judge the new album by one song, but if his voice sounds as altered throughout, then it's pure shit.

[mikeyboy]

When did Eminem videos become the 3 minute equivalent of those awful parody movies that just layer on constant pop culture references?

[drjoek]

Right from jump street that I can remember

[hammersavage]

But the thing is his sense of irony in making fun of the pretentiousness and absurdity of modern celebrity has no comedic impact. Society holds these people to no standards and have a total taste for shit in music and film. He can't parody how bad Bret Michaels is when he is terrible to begin with and people still watch his show.

[underdog]

Right from jump street that I can remember

That was Johnny Depp.

[Enabler]

But that Palin chick in the video is smokin hot.





Thats pornstar Lisa Ann. I didnt look it up, but Im 99% sure. I like Eminem but I did not like this song.

[underdog]

Eh, it's better than most of the stuff that comes out nowadays. It's not all autotune, at least.

And I'm glad to see the asian guy that O&A gave a panic attack to getting work.

[GreatAmericanZero]

there arent edgy targets anymore. Back in the day it was like "oh no, he said WHAT about britney and christina?" Now they are both sluts that everyone goofs on.

In the age of Perez Hilton and all the celebrity blogsites, you aren't going to be shocking knocking teen stars down a peg

[Furtherman]

Terrible song. The video? A concept that's way past its prime.

Although I did laugh when Sulu puked.

[TheMojoPin]

Holy shit, that was fucking awful.

[SatCam]

When did Eminem videos become the 3 minute equivalent of those awful parody movies that just layer on constant pop culture references?

YES that is the exact comparison I was looking for


it's like someone wrote a song about People magazine

[FezsAssistant]

I like it. He's a step above the other mainstream people in his genre in regards to the music.
I also like that I can understand what he's saying. I swear to christ I have no idea what the black ones are saying. Not a word.

I wonder how many sheep on this board will wait to pass judgement until Ron states an opinion next week??? I think many.

[mikeyboy]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Just so I can get my opinion in before I get accused of being sheep -- it sucks really, really hard.

[Kublakhan61]

Trash - I've enjoyed a couple of his albums but this single is such rubbish I won't bother taking a listen to the rest of the album. Should have keep with that retirement angle, Em.

[underdog]

You are the 39th post in this thread.

[TheGameHHH]

last week Ronnie already said he cant stand musicians that say their own names in songs, Dave pointed to Eminem and Ron went off for a minute about how much he cant stand him. So judging by that, theres your reason why so many people are saying "trash". Yet Im sure those same people would jizz in their pants over a Crankcase single or some shitty 2U rendition. Eminem can rhyme better than 99% of people in game.

Aren't I allowed to just hate him because his music blows?

Yeah, that's why people say it sucks. Do you really think that's a good song? We're talking about this particular song and not Eminem's body of work or his rhyming talent. I'm basing it purely on my own subjective taste and not any pre-conceived notion of what I "should" think -- that song is awful. I will say that I probably should listen to the song without that cringe-inducing video to see if I can stomach it any better, because the visuals aren't doing it any favors.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i dont think theres one person that blindly agrees or disagrees with Ron over everything. its just an argument people use because they want their opinions to feel special

[Snoogans]

i like eminem for the most part and respect his abilities, and this song is fuckin garbage

why would you compare the one with the other? They are completely different styles of music and personally I never cared for Eminem and this latest video blows as much as his earlier work.

No I'm not saying its a good song, but its the same exact single he's put out for every record. He did it with "My Name Is" on the Slim Shady LP, "The Real Slim Shady" on the Marshall Mathers LP, "Without Me" on the Eminem Show, and "Just Lose It" on Encore. Its supposed to be what it is, something Pop stations can play and entice people into buying the album. All Im saying is he's done the same thing every time yet now all of a sudden he sucks?

And I was only connecting the dots for FezsAssistant, i wasnt implying that i believed it.

its WAYYYY WORSE then any of those

[Sue_Bender]

its WAYYYY WORSE then any of those


You forgot a "Y".

[TheGameHHH]

its WAYYYY WORSE then any of those

I actually like this one better than Just Lose It.......but thats it.

[underdog]

its WAYYYY WORSE then any of those

Yeah, I have to agree with Snoogans here. I like the beat, I like that he didn't Akon it up, I like the chick singing, but the rhyming is a little weak and boring.

[Tenbatsuzen]

When did Eminem videos become the 3 minute equivalent of those awful parody movies that just layer on constant pop culture references?

Someone said this on Deadspin, He's basically hip-hop Weird Al in this video, but the sad thing is, Weird Al had more science in "White and Nerdy" that he had in this... and I'm an Em fan. This was not good.

No, it stinks because it's a cheesy gimmick and he's been on autopilot for years now. The guy is an incredibly talented MC but more and more he's been coasting on his stupid "I talk shit about shitty celebrities" schtick. The rhymes are weak, the targets are obvious as hell and what's with the stupid accent? And did Dr. Dre produce this? If so, steroids might have ruined his ear because it sounds AWFUL.

And each is progressively worse. "Just Lose It" was where he really jumped off the cliff in terms of these leadoff singles being awful, and then the crappiness of the album followed.

[TheGameHHH]

I wasnt really an Encore fan but I'm willing to give this album a shot, i like "Crack A Bottle" and "I'm Having A Relapse" so 2 out of 3 aint bad. And i dont think they all got progressively worse cause I think his second album is strongest out of them all.

I love the first two and agree the second is the strongest. From there I ended up punching out.

[MacVittie]

TRASH!

a rapper that's self serving? you can't be serious...

[Gvac]

Wow.

Where the hell are all the people who were telling me he was a genius?

One trick pony.

Cheesy motherfucker.

[WampusCrandle]

Wow.

Where the hell are all the people who were telling me he was a genius?

Cheesy motherfucker.

i'm just glad i've hadn't been posting for enough years that you can find my faults. But, let me beat you to the punch, i don't think i really enjoyed his music, except for a few songs. this one is really a self-serving piece of shit.

there is no way that you can think that is a good song, Gvac.

many greats have low points, this is, as drjoek says, M&M's low point.

[epo]

Bowling for Soup called, they want their gimmick back.

[Slumbag]

Eminem's career seems to follow a strict formula.

The first track of an album is always him making fun of other famous people.

He'll release a song about his daughter, a song about how it's hard to be him, a song with his buddies talking about how they haven't changed, a song about how much chicks wanna fuck him, and a song about his wife being a twat.
This album will also have a very introspective "Where I've been" type track.

I liked the video, but probably wouldn't listen to the song on it's own.

[Fallon]

Smash, Very excited about the new album.

But that Palin chick in the video is smokin hot.

Lisa Ann :wub:

[Kublakhan61]

I like it. He's a step above the other mainstream people in his genre in regards to the music.

You can't say this -^

I also like that I can understand what he's saying. I swear to christ I have no idea what the black ones are saying. Not a word.

if you're gonna follow it up with that.

It's a no brainer.

You must not listen to much music in his genre's mainstream. You can rest assured that he is no longer one step above his peers. He just hangs around with a pioneer.

[Fallon]

Here is the second single off of Relapse. It's a bit harder than We Made You.

(stupid asshole disabled embedding)

[TonyStark]

Meh, not his best song but I laughed at the video a few times and I'm eagerly waiting to hear what's on the rest of this album

[AKA]

If Weird Al got Kathy Griffin pregnant and she aborted it but it was saved from the dumpster by the writers of Will and Grace where they raised it on a steady diet of Family Guy reruns - that would be this song.

WOW! Kim Kardashian has a fat ass! Glad to know it, Em! :wallbash:

[cougarjake13]

i like it



his spoofs are hilarious
