If Em would have had Skylar on LTWYL intead of Rihanna.

[EminemBase]

No.

Nor should it have had.

Not just about the name, Rihanna makes the song what it is conceptually. Brilliant move.

[Sam.]

LTWYL sucks, move on.

[Evil Twin]

If Em put Skylar on it, y'all would've been crying about that as well. "Em should have put Rihanna on this song, would make sense to the concept and would've been a massive hit."

He puts Rihanna on it. "Ugh this song sucks, he shouldn't have put Rihanna on it. It's only huge because of Rihanna. Would've preferred if he used Skylar's vocals."

Alex Da Kid suggested Rihhana to take over, Em didn't[I think so]. It isn't his fault that Ri turned up.

I'm pretty sure Em sent it to Rihanna man.

"Eminem Wanted Rihanna On 'I Love The Way You Lie'" -Alex da Kid

Eminem wanted Rihanna on the song. But even before all this happened, I'm working on her new album and so we're already kinda working together and he just sent it to her and she just loved it. She doesn't really do too much, as far as collaborations but everybody just loved it so much that they wanted to get on it.

Yup.

[CanadaPure]

It was good cuz Rihanna's been punched in the mouth.



I'm being serious.

It's true. Since she got beat and it was super public the song was more meaningful. I like Skylar's voice more, but she wouldnt have fit the topic as much.

[eminembound]

Obviously not.

Like it or not, Rihanna helped a lot to increase the sales, the song became a big hit. Eminem himself thanked her many times for helping with the sales.

I have to say I'm a bit tired of both now, Rihanna, and Skylar. Too much collaborations already.

Me too I am so sick of Rihanna, and Skylar

Yes, don't forget about this. Rihanna was in the song because of her story with Chris Brown.

I remember back in the day when this song came out, there was some controversial here, it was in the news, etc....All that was promotion for the song too.

No way it would be the same with Skylar on it. Don't pretend to sound mean, but Skylar is all the talented you want but have the charisma of an amoeba.

She played a good sport and accepted it.

[Despicable]

he would have made Skylar big.
Just like he did with Dido.

I think you're thinking of the "I Need a Doctor" thing, where one of the Interscope people wanted to put Lady Gaga on the song, and Eminem told them no.

[Jimmy Conway]

It would have still been a horrible song. It was on there to sell more records. That was all. Window pane.

[Jimmy Conway]

Brilliant from a business aspect sure. It got more confused girls to buy the record, some of those who were pushed away by the rape fantasies of the last album. I LOVE HIM BUT I SHOULDN'T BUT I DO, OH HOW RELATABLE.

Lil wayne, Rihanna. Just marketing strategies to make more money since Relapse didn't sell great. But Recovery didn't sell all that great either, because everyone steals music now, so it just resulted in a bad song for teenage girls to post lyrics on their facebook and twitters from.

Not true. Recovery sold great.

Name three albums (all genres) that sold more than Recovery. I'll help you with the first and only one: Adele's 21.
