Well, that's how you had made it sound, so sorry
But still...you actually think Fack is better than LTWYL? I mean, I hardly listen to LTWYL, but Em made the right move when he decided to record this song. He knew it was gonna be a hit, and it is. That doesn't mean that the song is trash, by any means. I liked the song on my first listen, and the reason why I don't listen to it so much anymore is because it became a single and it got way too popular. I hear LTWYL every time the radio is on, and I MEAN every time, so I began to like it less as time went by. But, despite the commercial sound of the song, it's very beautifully written. It's probably one of the more well written songs on Recovery, to be honest
It's really not that bad. People just gotta get out of the mindset that Em was putting Rihanna on the hook TOO be successful, and that Em actually has Ri-Ri on the song for a real reason, a complete clash of worlds, coming from two different sides of a violent relationship. That's part of the hidden brilliance behind this song that nobody likes to admit
The one thing I hate about the song, is the new fans that it has brought. Because the fans who only know that one song, have never heard of his past albums before. And it's sickening and depressing that they're missing out on the TRULY classic shit (Recovery's good enough, I think it's a classic in 2010 standards)
