Guts Over Fear ft. Sia - Links in OP

[Dorian]

I think he didn't want to base his album sales/tour sales on nostalgia, because he's retreating.

This might be the reason GOF didn't make the album cut and was released a day after the last show of the tour. He finished promoting MMLP2 and now he's announcing that he's gone.

He's not gone. Stop it.
You will hear some more Eminem on Shady XV, and i'm sure after that too.

I'll bet my house on 1 or 2 solo songs beside GOF on ShadyXV, and they'll be MMLP2 outtakes most likely.

[AntonioFX]

GOF is the goat, it's fighting with all vmas promoted singles on iTunes chart

[Mr Evil]

I'm sure there will be quite a lot of Em on XV

I clearly don't know what I'm talking about, but I try to understand this shit.

The music business is really complex.

It certainly is complex.

Sales really don't matter much to Em in a financial sense as he really won't earn much money from his music nowadays. MMLP2 sold something like four million copies worldwide, the bulk of which will go to Interscope as they'll have spent millions on the marketing and then Aftermath will make some. Then there's the royalties that need to get paid to Rubin and all the other producers etc. Between the album and the singles Em probably made a few hundred grand, but it's hardly life altering money for a guy who's net worth is something like $160 million. He won't make much money at all from Shady Records nowadays either. Em will make most of his money from performing these days, as he takes home about $1.5-2million a show. He must've earned a lot years back from royalties when he sold something like 65 million albums between SSLP to Encore and then there was obviously 8 Mile, the 50 Cent money from his first two albums, plus he toured a lot from 1999-2005. The guy's set up for life now, the only people giving a shit about his album sales nowadays will be Interscope and Paul. The music business is fucked nowadays, and despite the fact he doesn't sell close to what he used to Em is still one of the most commercially successful artists around.

Yes, this is all true.

[Mr Evil]

It's probably been said a million times but I think he comes off as a bit depressed on this

Yea

[Elision]

like he's bored of making music all together. He'll still continue to do so because it's "all he knows", but the only thing that seems to inspire him these days is making songs that he feels inspire and motivate other people.

this. i think people are looking way too deep into the track, it's pretty clear what's being said.

And tomorrow he'll wake up and be in a different mood.

me too. that's how we (humans) operate.

[Elision]

did know you're human tbh

o u no me, one leg at a time

Oh and I just checked, GOF is holding at #3 on iTunes Canada.

I didn't even catch on

[Chalky]

I seriously don't want him to retire, this track is a classic next to his Airplanes verse, but if he has to its been a great ride, just hope while he is retired he releases some unreleased material.
