    the visuals were funny, the instrumentation was catchy...just wish I could have understood more than 10% of the lyrics.

    Edit: having looked up the lyrics I gotta say - people actually get PAID for this shit?

    Incoherence set to music...

    Another solid video, another mediocre song, nothing new here, it is a formula that works. "Without Me" was better on all counts and it came out over seven years ago.

    Came out five years ago, not as good as "Without Me" but better than "We Made You."

    All three songs put together show the steady decline of a profitable formula.

    Eminem's biggest strength is the humour he injects into his songs. A personal favourite of mine is Guilty Conscience.

    The only good rapper is a dead one.

    That goes twice for the white ones.

    I like some of his songs, recognize his talent, yet still consider him to be a total douche. I'm not sure he's not losing any sleep over my opinion of him! :lol:

    Em has got some good stuff and he's got some shitty stuff. When he's good, he is good, but when he's bad you just want him to go away. But he is definitely a step above most rappers.

    The rap acts I can really dig are Eminem, Bone Thugs, Wu-Tang Clan, 2Pac, Nas, and Outkast and old school stuff like Tribe Called Quest, Cypress Hill, and the Beastie Boys.

    2Pac, IMO, was the best rapper of all time. The genre pretty much peaked with him.

    I admit Eminem takes up a considerable portion of my music library, but that new single just makes my ears bleed.

    I thought that it was pretty funny that they got the girl from the Nailin' Palin movie to play her again in this one.
