    It would be a lot worse. Being sober and clear minded helps with any aspect that demands you to concentrate and have the intricate rhyming and writing that he does. How Em sounds on Emshow to now has nothing to do with drugs.

    so many reasons why “He was better on Drugs” does not make sense at all. That’s just a few reasons why.

    I disagree. He was high when he made what most consider his best work from '99-03'. Drugs, especially psychedelics, enhance creativity. I believe it enhanced his musical abilities until it became an out of control problem '04-'08.

    The video dropped after the song debuted at #49, if you can call that a video.

    I love Darkness, just wonder why he chose to release it as a first single. The video is also very well done.

    Pretty obvious…. It’s a serious topic to cover which would cause discussion and wanted that to be the first visual and sound of the album, as it fits the theme. Add to the fact, it is a great song.

    It is, Supsuck, but it kinda went under the radar for non Stans, just like Walk On Water. I don't get dropping something sad/depressing as a first single.

    Maybe you are simply afraid of darkness in you.

    So that they get some word of mouth. After the video dropped, a lot of sites started publishing articles saying Em had dropped a song about gun violence. It is something concrete, specific, everyone has same opinion on. What would they have written about Godzilla if It had been first? What this song is actually about?

    Do you think they will market Eminem's last album as such?

    And I just told you why most people don't know it. So it's not a good choice.

    I would have released the fun one first and then Darkness once everyone knows he dropped. But it's been 2 years anyway. They need to drop the CC2 cover.

    Eminem should start his next Era with a “Without Me” type of single.

    He should go an easy route and release a Without Me 2. As Simple as that. Like, he's already made songs with Rihanna and Pink for views and sales, so why don't give the mob what they want. Would It be a worse move than his pop collaborations?
