Do You Think Headlights Came At the Tail End?

Postby Hubub153 » Dec 2nd, '13, 08:31

Em has typically had songs, usually the big singles, that get written and recorded at the very end of the album-creation process. It is just the line in the song "I wrote this on the jet..." that makes me think he might have written the verses on the plane back from his August shows, but I don't know how late is too late for him to record a new song for an album. It is just the combination of that line and the fact that he did perform COMC at those shows that maybe it was a last minute addition. Just spit balling here, I could be very wrong.

Or....
He could be lying
like the filthy liar he is .
For real though, I think he wrote it before, and recorded it much later, with a few additions.

My guess is he wrote it on the jet to L.A. when we saw those pink hoodie pictures.

I realised today that without Headlights MMLP2 has practically nothing personal. Em's next work should be interesting with probably none.

Well he did COMC during his European tour in August. So unless he's lying, I'd say he wrote the song on the jet returning home.

In his interview with Zane Lowe, he said that Love Game was a last minute record. He referred he was busy at the time with Survival and CoD shit. So.. if Love Game was last minute and it was recorded on mid-August. I don't believe he recorded Headlights after it.

I thought in another interview he said Love Game was recorded before the Control verse?

Disagree. Asshole is so-so; I like his verses but the beat is ehhh and the hook is a toss up as well. The Monster...okay, you got me. But I think Love Game is really, really solid. It just sounds so fresh. To me, Love Game, RoR and So Far represent what I think could have been Eminem's perfect sonic sound for the album. Of course, those are the heavily influenced Rubin records, but the way they sound and how he pulled it off is pretty interesting.

Asshole and Love Game are in my top 5. Both song are super dope.

Love Game :flutter: "so fresh" fits so well

So Far is personal. Legacy is personal. Bad Guy is personal. Stronger Than I Was may or may not be personal.

For some reason The Monster reminds me of The Way I am, when he talks about leaving him alone. IDK it just brings me back to when him, kim and hailey are eating in the music video and that guy asks for an autograph.

Singin' "Bagpipes from Baghdad" again
In my dad's drag draggin' a faggot in a Glad bag
Won't be the last time I make a dramatic entrance like that again
You thought I was lyin' when I said I think that I'm crossin' the line again
I've lost my mind, caution oh God I think I've just thought of another fucking line
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
But hip hop has left me brainwashed with a violent streak
