    Commercial Success since it was planned to be a single

    Liz said she wrote the hook in an Instagram post. Given Em's track record - it probably came with the beat

    Not different from phenomenal

    exposure/promotion obviously. There were also probably talks prior to the track of the 2 working together and eminem must of thought that song was the right time/right fit.

    the same way they were gonna swap skylar grey for lady gaga on inad and the same way he swapped skylar grey for rihanna on love the way you lie

    Did he?

    I don't understand why Liz gave us that painful bridge in the middle then

    And I thought Khalil tweeted that he produced it?

    I'm confused too, I also heard that Em produced Phenomenal, or that Khalil produced it.

    Eminem never works in the studio with his guest artists that are not on label

    Omg this song just keeps getting better and better the more i listen to it
    Phenomenal doesn't deserve to be on a soundtrack with this song

    uh, hate to burst your bubble, but when songs come "pre-made" so to speak, they have (mostly) unknown studio singers on the hook. when it was delivered to gwen, it no doubt had someone else singing the hook. she just did new takes.

    I wonder who " one of his guys" is. Theres not much people who get their hands on Em's music.
    Did Em have the intention of having her on the record while making the song or was it good timing? The song came out great but the way it was put together seems odd.

    idk people shouldn't really get that pissed off at what they call "cookie cutter" songs (with premade hooks).

    stan was the direct result of that you know. he said the second he heard that hook on that beat, he immediately thought "crazed fan".

    I think the guy is right. He did the same thing with Pink(substituted her for Liz) and Rhianna/Skylar Grey on LTWYL. Either way KND is a pretty great song.

    Edit- Didn't read through the thread before this post. My bad for being redundant.
