    I thought about it but what could it be? It's been officially confirmed that he will be touring in America and he will be at Coachella 2018

    I don't even think river would have sold half as what some of you guys think even if it was the first single. People aren't going to continue streaming/listening to a song that the hook is the only listenable part. I think shadys camp knew eminems verses were just that bad that they didn't want it released as the lead single. Just the way he sounds on the track is awful. I tried so hard to enjoy the song too cause I really did enjoy Ed on it.

    Logic and Taylor swift songs out performing this s-----y album lololol "but guys the singles were supposed to be bad on purpose"
    And those streaming numbers you have are because of Ed on the track. The numbers would be better if eminem could have actually put out some decent verses for river

    Are you seriously this delusional.
    - No, they didn't make it flop on purpose, eminem just doesn't know what good music sounds like anymore.

    Can we talk about how he took Pinks song and put it on his album as a filler

    Billboard if i'm not wrong, but his tour manager said about his American Tour and Coachella said about his appereance.

    Hmmm. Interesting. In the interview on shade 45 both em and Paul seemed aloof on the idea. Which contributed to my thought that more was coming. Guess we will see. Based on the rollout and the whole def jam dynamic, guess nothing is for sure.

    This exactly. You knew d--- well he thought the controversial wow was going to blow up. I could honestly see em thinking the entire USA and all the ghetto areas were gonna blast untouchable like it's going to make a big difference in today's society. Only for it to completely backfire. Its almost sad seeing him think he was going to have some huge influence in politics in 2017 only for people to end up mocking and laughing at him

    Who cares if it was intentional to flop or not, regardless of that album still sucks.

    Well at least some of you are finally realizing how awful the album sounds, and as usual the stanbase’s excuses are as comical as always lol.

    But yeah there’s no chance he wanted it to flop and it’s not even really worth discussing tbh lol. But I give ya credit for taking it to the extreme and coming up with a pretty crazy theory, I didn’t expect even Em fans to go to this extent with it.

    Yes, Eminem purposely dropped away from Taylor swift on a slow Friday and tried NOT to make history with his 8th consecutive number 1 album to try and flop.
