But it's better than nothing. :y:

Em had a a lot of venting singles on his career
Not always proper venting, but a sincere confession, like you said, and an analysis of his own situation as an artist

When I'm Gone and Mockinbird (really emotional, like Headlights)
Cleanin' Out My Closet (emotional too, only difference is he was saying he hated, not loved, someone)
The Way I Am, Sing For The Moment and Like Toy Soldiers (his place and view on himself as an artist at that point)

If they released it with a video in February there will be enough space for another one afterward too...

That's a wise thing to do :y:
But 6 videos out of one huge rap album is, to say the least, unusual

Absolutely... I agree but 4 singles coming left, right & center in the build up was unusual too.

For sure
4 singles before the album was even out was something new to all of us, specially with an artist like Em

That ain't me
He's just a friend who pops up now and again

Word... esp. now since The Monster declines slowly but surely & radio play is still vital unlike if the new single was planned to come in like a couple of months when it'd be only about the impact of the video.

On another note I'd be absolutely happy if some epic Bad Guy mini movie type of a video single dropped & that supposed to be the balance out radio single to it.

Agree completely. It feels like it would undermine the song in a way. :shakehead:

Just gonna keep my fingers crossed it's not true.

As for a Bad Guy mini movie/video - yes please and thank
