This works out for the best, if you ask me. Casual Eminem/pop radio fans hear Lighters. They're like "Damn, that was nice! Let me go peep the rest of that record." Then they hear how much fire Royce and Em can ACTUALLY spit and they like it even more. It'd be worse if it was the other way around -- Royce and Eminem spitting their best verses on a single and the rest of the CD being worse.
It's the same thing that happened with Not Afraid back in early 2010-- kids were running around TRShady saying it was Em's best single ever and possibly one of his best songs ever. Then Recovery drops and they're like "eh...maybe not."
I do stand up.
