Why wasn't "So Far..." The 1st Single?

[Hansen]

I mean, its obviously a much better song. If they where gonna pick a funny 1st single they chose porly if they chose Berzerk over this. The rhymes are funny as shit too and the music video for this song would be legendary. The sales and the reception for this song would be much better aswell. It would cover the hype level for a much longer time then what Berzerk did.

So far isnt as radio friendly as berserk

[Dr. Shady]

I guess cuz teenager wouldn't get those complex lyrics with the hoax on FACEBOOK and the ''I can't stand all those kids with their camera cell phones'' line.
I still laugh my ass off when I hear this song, its dope.
This is a kind of funny record but its smart as well and it could take people to mediate
and smart ppl know this isn't the kind of thing teenager and publicity would party to.

Its even the same with movies
Best example is the movie FIGHT CLUB.
its much underrated cuz you have to think lil bit about it.

It's the goof off track for the album. Definitely not a single.

The throw backs to Im Back (was it I'm Back? Shit I cant remember) and The Real Slim Shady were for those that bought the album

[Hamza1972]

I think "So Far" isn't a true single song

Berzerk is actually really, really good. It has slowly become one of my favorites. Once this album settles in and becomes a regular frequenting our playlists, Berzerk will be a gem. Probably the most original sounding chorus since Run DMC

[Shady-Yo]

Berzerk is dope.

[Jimmy Conway]

Because it doesn't have lyrics, flow or a beat that would appeal to a large amount of people.


Also it curses a lot and talks about dead cats in mailboxes

"Why wasn't "So Far..." The 1st Single?"

Because Berzerk was.

End thread.

[Kill You]

Feels more like an album song. At least for me it does.

Coz it sounds horrendous! lol

Beautiful Pain could have replaced the monster IMO. Reduce the backlash of the "heads"

You don't like So Far...?

[4Corners]

Berzerk is definitely in the lower tier on the album. The only songs I prefer Berzerk to are Survival and The Monster.

If So Far... was the first single, and it is a much better song than Berzerk IMO and it's not close, then there would have been no point to even have Berzerk on the album.

I wish Legacy would have been the next single.

[Mathers]

It may be a better song but it's not first single material at all

As a first single Berzerk >>>

[Riis]

So Far would have totally flopped as a single and would not fit as a lead single at all.
