Berzerk Goes Platinum!

[Ubb]

TRex won

[Whitefox]

It's maybe his best 1st single video beyond "My Name Is"...

But contains his 2 weakest verses for a lead-single beyond "Just Lose It".

Bow chicka wow wow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wowzers, I just made a mess in my trousers

I don't know what you like about We Made You, there's literally nothing redeeming about that song. Nothing about it is "badass" or whatever your favorite word is now, it sounds like a shitty remake of his old first singles, he sounded like he had no idea what he wanted to do on it. The jokes were shit, the voice and accent were the only time on Relapse where it was annoying, the hook is probably the worst hook on his first singles, the beat was retarded...the entire song sounds more like a clusterfuck than Berzerk does. Berzerk at least sounds like it has personality, and like he's having fun goofing around and paying homage to golden era hip hop. He was doing something similar to what you'd expect from a first single, yet he still made to unique from the rest in the way that it's not only just dissing people; We Made You is awful and sounds like he was uncomfortable rapping the song, it felt like he felt almost like "okay, for my big comeback I NEED a goofy single to prove to people I'm no different than I used to be". I don't care if it's cohesive with the rest of the album or whatever excuse you've used for it, that doesn't make it any better. Berzerk at least got better after a couple of listens...after a couple listens We Made You went from weird to just like "...why?"

No, We Made You is witty, zany and it kinda had top-notch rapping, honestly.

I feel Berzerk is in between his best and worst lead singles.

It doesn't come anywhere near My Name Is, Real Slim Shady, Without Me, but it's loads better than Just Lose It and We Made You, which are his two worst IMO.

I don't think it's better than Not Afraid though, which is just above it IMO. Even though Not Afraid isn't too great, I'll Em talking about something real and uplifting over bow chicka wow wow!!!! Toe jam stuff. Only really the first verse on Berzerk is any good at all.

Personally I don’t like Berzerk initially, but after the video, the song was okay to me.
But We Made You, I hated it upon the first listening, and what’s worse, after the video I decided to never listen to it again...so imo, Berzerk is far better than We Made You

Number 1 in the UK on iTunes now that it's finally out!

Hey guys, I ripped this song with a youtube mp3 downloader, I'm selling it on itunes, thanks

People in the UK seem to have much more sense than Americans.

[SG.]

Eminem's always been bigger in Europe though (especially the UK for whatever reason).

[alicia11]

I don't think he is bigger in Europe, France doesn't feel him much, nor does Spain, for example. But, Canada and UK are loyal to him no matter what, not like America ......

Awesome.

Number 1 in the UK on iTunes now that it's finally out!

That was unexpected.

[Francesco]

That's pretty good! It probably won't reach 2x platinum, but it's still a great look for him.

I think it could reach 2x plat if it keeps the momentum for a few more weeks though... I hope so.

Because they value music over how catchy it is.

But we have to be honest to ourselves, Berzerk is more catchy than it is good.

Eminem's always been bigger in Europe though (especially the UK for whatever reason).

The fact he's played seven big outdoor gigs here in the past three years shows how much they value their British fanbase. His Glasgow gig last month was amazing!
