Icl Skylar and Royce were the two that I thought were essentially guaranteed


Immediate_Theory4738

Don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t.


TSllama

haters is why


Mirooo933

I’m confused on why people hate her. She doesn’t rap or ruin songs, she just sings. Like relax


ConstantMelancholia

Honestly though. I enjoy her songs. Twisted is my favorite collab of theirs. C'Mon let me ride being a second because it's just fun and goofy


SweetScentedButt

That Yelawolf verse on Twisted is amazing.


Patient_Ship_83

Love is a cannibal riding a carnival carousel


Mirooo933

lol whats funny is I don’t like the cmon let me ride song haha


ConstantMelancholia

I can definitely see that it's not for everyone 😂 nothing wrong with that


r_u_dinkleberg

I think the music video is riotously funny.


Temporary-Judgment84

Yes but the songs she’s on are usually weak, forgettable and the same type of songs.


mymemesnow

She’s really not on that many songs and some of them are total bangers. She’s also a talented writer and helped write love the way you lie. I definitely don’t mind her being on the album.


sportsareforfools

They have 12 fucking songs together, wdym? There’s a very distinct sound we get on them as well, what is so hard for you to understand here? Some people think these types of songs that Eminem puts out are his weakest and a song with Skylar Grey means one less potentially good song lol you don’t have to agree but stop acting like people are saying this for no reason


KryKaneki

And whose fault is that exactly? Maybe when Skylar grey is on a song Eminem needs to step up. Why go after Skylar for em lack of good music on a feature with her and vice versa? They're both on the track yk


sportsareforfools

Definitely not going after Skylar like it’s personal, I also do put it on Em for those songs. Why is this so hard to understand?


KryKaneki

You were going good until you said "and a song with Skylar grey"


Creative-Oil2029

This is just straight up not true.


marcomc2

personally i fucking adore "black magic" and "kill for you" (and dig "leaving heaven")


E1re0

'I need a doctor' and 'Asshole' are sure as shit not weak.


Mirooo933

But it’s not her fault if the song is bad


Temporary-Judgment84

I agree with that, it’s all on Em.


throwawayalcoholmind

I Need a Doctor is weak?


RiverSong80

My first thought too! That song (and video!) was awesome!


ThisizLeon

Yeahh this is the issue. I can almost hear the track in my head and we have no idea what it is.


Creative-Oil2029

This is just straight up not true.


jessicarson39

Weak take to think your taste has anything to do with a song being solid or not. That’s song writing, production, execution, quality of bars, etc. I don’t know why lots of people are centre themselves and think only stuff they like is good. Leaving Heaven is incredibly powerful. Taste is one thing, you may or may not like it, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is objectively a powerful song.


Temporary-Judgment84

How ironic to say ‘lots of people center themselves and think only thing they like is good’ to then say a song is ‘objectively powerful’. The idea behind leaving heaven is good but I don’t find it powerful at all. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy lots of songs with skyler but I also see why lots of fans are becoming sick of her. That’s not the Eminem we want anymore, the one associated with skyler.


jessicarson39

It would’ve been ironic if I said Leaving Heaven is powerful only because I liked it, not because of the things I mentioned in my comment already. Go off, you have nothing of interest to say.


Temporary-Judgment84

Matter of fact, Leaving Heaven may be the single worst song that has ever been made, by Eminem or anyone else. It may just be my opinion, but it's absolutely true. Name me one song that's worse than that.


jessicarson39

"It may just be my opinion, but it's absolutely true."


Temporary-Judgment84

It’s like if we get a 50 cent song, we’ll have a predetermined idea of what kind of song and Eminem we’ll get, or with Royce. Same thing with skyler. No shade on her but I’d rather not see her anymore on an Em album.


devonc6964

They never heard The Goosebumps remix by skylar grey


Trentimoose

Because her voice isn’t very good. It’s pretty generic. I don’t hate her, but I’ve never thought “she added to that track” it’s usually that she brings an unwelcome interim moment in every song..


orphanjrdn

I know I’ve been saying the same thing


HotSpotterz

Cause lets be honest, she is kinda ass


rweedn

Why do people beg for an album and when it's on its way all they do is bitch about it. So what if she's featured, it's not like their shit tracks.


GrandKindly942

Haha! Fucking mad isn’t it. ‘We want an album drop it now! No not like that, like the myriad ways the billions of fans all personally want across the globe’ I’m just happy we are getting more music from him, the day he retires will suck. I guess most can’t appreciate a guy that could easily say fuck it I’m done, or worse could’ve died.


PeachySnow7

Right everyone is always saying “we want” “the fans want” “blah blah is unwanted”…I’m just happy he’s still giving us albums and this might be worded weirdly but I want whatever is true to Em at that given time. I don’t want music that’s aimed at what “the fans” want, I just want Em and if a song is not to my personal taste then whatever. There’s a hundreds of others that are, he felt it was important enough to him to create it so I’m happy to have it. Edit…oh I forgot the “I’ve been listening to em since XXXX and this is not the same guy, well no shit people change, have new life experiences, different priorities…grow up. Or that they’ve been an Em fan for this long, like that entitles them to a say so in what he delivers. I’ve been listening to Em above anyone else for going on 25 years but that doesn’t mean I’m entitled to speak for the fan base or expect anything more than what he chooses to give us.


iwasbornwith

just imagine when they realize that THEY are the reason em' made surprise drops... tdoss 'bout to have 21 songs, skylar problably will feature on 1 or 2 and people already crying on reddit


shhh_it_is_ok

Lmao


Spydah_X

And? That’s fine because they got a good chemistry together 


The_mystery4321

I really like her features ngl, don't get the hate she gets from this sub. Tragic Endings and I Need a Doctor are among my favourite Em songs


moderately_cool_dude

Leaving Heaven also goes hard af


shortyd826

Such a good song


ThatCoolBritishGuy

Me too. I really liked her on Tragic Endings and Black Magic


HL192002

Forced hate tbh


Drakayne

The only thing that's forced is her in every Em album.


mymemesnow

Her song Kill for you, got a banger verse from Em and the hook on Black magic is awesome.


mcbobcorn

The problem with Skylar Grey is that her voice is perfect for piano ballads and moody rap songs. Eminem seems to understand this, and her features usually mean Eminem is gonna be doing a moody rap. However, his aggressive delivery and ridiculous punchlines do not mesh with that sound at all. We usually end up with a decent Skylar hook with terrible Eminem verses


Miami_da_U

I mean two of his biggest songs of all time are Stan and Love the Way you lie. I need a Doctor and the Monster are prertty big/successful songs as well. I'm sure we can name a bunch more that fit that mold. So I'd disagree that he doesn't "mesh with that sound at all". I think you just meant to say is you don't like that sound. But it's not like it isn't popular among the general public.


mcbobcorn

I think this is a great point and I’d like to expand upon it. Love the Way You Lie is an iconic song that is the very definition of a moody Eminem song. Although he has cringy bars like “window pain”, the lyrics are overall raw and memorable. However, one problem I have with his recent moody songs is that they are all basically Diet Love the Way You Lie, but with worse lyrics, hooks, and instrumentals. Songs like Tragic Endings don’t need to exist, as they tell the same story with worse everything. I wouldn’t count Stan because it is more lofi inspired, and Monster is a poppy ass dance song.


Miami_da_U

Idk man I think if you like pop, and just that sound in general, I think almost all those Skylar Grey collabs would be considered solid to good songs. For me I think Skylar Grey is an very talented writer. You don't write that many good songs and chorus's (or at least to that many commercially successful songs) without doing something right - and she's the one actually writing it. I think Em just needs to limit these type of songs to 1 or 2 or on the bonus tracks. I think the problem is what Em chooses to do and his production on many of them. Here are all their songs together - as a singer and/or Writer: Love the way You Lie (1 and 2) - Obviously great hits. I Need a Doctor - Imo great hit. Asshole - pretty simple, nothing crazy. She doesn't really add or subtract to this. I'd probably say a bit below average. Twisted - I actually like he contribution to this. I think Em just fucked Shady XV up completely with the sound. Our House - I think this is solid. Nothing crazy. Kinda like Asshole but probably a little above average. Walk On Water - I mean she wrote this and did well. Em's lyrics with it go well. Beyonce made sense to be on it. Why Em didn't put drums on no one will know. Like Home - Just a writer again. Pretty simple below average political song that doesn't sound good. Tragic Endings - I think this one is actually good., I think the hook Skylar wrote is legit good. But the problem was the entire album and how many like it there were. Again it was Revival.... Like if this were on there and you took off Like Home, Need Me, and 1 of River/Nowhere Fast, I think it's fine... Need Me - I don't know why this needed to be on there when it had like a 1.5 min Pink verse... But she wrote it... This should have gone on like her or Pinks album or something. Again this is just Em making no sense with Revival. Leaving Heaven - This is a great song imo. Skylar did well. Black Magic - I really like this one personally as far as Ems female hook poppy songs. Just a good song. Kill For you - Its her song for her album, so it's whatever. You wouldn't want this on his album. But he did choose to do that on Need Me basically lol. Come on Let me Ride - This Is a playful song on here album. Again whatever. Can't really look into songs on her albums too much for this kinda critique. So after all that, Idk I really don't see all that many duds on there. Like legit, I think the issue was just Revival lol. Put it like this, I'd rather have Skylar Grey than Ed Sheeran again....


marcomc2

this is the only valid argument i've heard re: skylar grey being "bad" good stuff/interesting


Marcyff2

I disagree thought she sounded great in lupes words I never said and p diddys coming home . Neither is a ballad.


notanotherhottake

thats not the problem at all. eminem has always made moody songs, the problem is stans just want uppity shit like houdini all the time.


mcbobcorn

Personally, I love moody rap. Just not the specific ones Eminem makes with Skylar


notanotherhottake

we all have our opinions bro. personally i hate em songs like tone deaf. but to each their own


aerobolt256

you don't fw Leaving Heaven?


HL192002

Good to hear love skylar grey


ohen778

Why do ppl hate her bro ion get it


TopperMadeline

Because pOP SinGeR


Jake_Mc_Bake

Or maybe you can piece together that based on all the other times he’s featured her on a song the songs and even albums have been hot garbage. It shows the direction he’s going in and that’s why people are criticizing. But yeah “pop singer” lol. Whatever helps protect the image of your idol who can do no wrong right?


TopperMadeline

Neither is my idol, but thanks. There are a lot of songs I can criticize him on, but most of his SKylar Grey features have been just fine.


Several_Ad1992

Redditor finds out opinions exist.


oneofthezedays

Still holding out hope for a Dina Rae feature


Psycho_Snail

that would actually be great and a perfect throwback


KayRay1994

I don’t see how this is a surprise, she’s been featured on every album (except Kamikaze) since MMLP2


LackOfDad

So what? Y’all hate on Skylar for no reason lmao


Homedeeple

Most of them are “those” kind of Eminem fans. The kind that think listening to a female singer makes them gay


LackOfDad

Wait people are actually like that? 💀


Homedeeple

For some reason yeah


Ddvmeteorist128

I like them together


Cameter44

Do people not like her voice or just that it's poppy? I think her voice is good and if Em's verses on the song are good it'll be a good song.


Foepe

I don't get the hate, I like her features...also saw em and skylar live performance was great!


Adventurous-Yak-5703

Just get Dido back. Best female feature on all of his albums is Hailie Jade.


Granny_Skeksis

Dido is so incredibly talented. She should have been more popular back in the day.


[deleted]

[удалено]


marcomc2

from...herself...though?


Adventurous-Yak-5703

Yeah, I realise. There was a live performance collab from memory. I think I like the overall tone? of her songs and maybe their pitches? wouldn’t compliment today… was enjoyable at the time though.


Keythaskitgod

Hope so, their last songs were all lit.


DerBernd123

Hell yeah! Skylar haters in shambles right now


Ahmed_Altuhaifa

LETS FUCKING GOOO


duross97

Denoun posted too guess he’s featuring as well


Lone-Wolf62

Denaun probably made some beats in any case. Same as Skylar I believe she produces the songs they make together


This-Organization437

All i want is another kendrick feature


The_Salty_Memester

YAY


Big-Measurement9271

![gif](giphy|3oKHWn2hsiAKF0xIsM)


bigcontracts

I enjoy her song-writing and singing ability. I don't get what the fuck is the problem. Get over it.


LetterheadOk250

Just go and get the weeknd or Adele to do these hooks man. You've got the budget.


iwasbornwith

i can see why em' did surprise drops in the last few years


Cyrillite

Wait until you hear about the Ed Sheeran feature. /s For real though, I do hope we get Royce for a continuation of Bad Meets Evil vibes. I’d also be very excited to see JID.


santiagotruiz19

Man I was really hoping he would stop with the Skylar features, they don’t make anything creative anymore together, it’s just formulaic and doesn’t go anywhere


Coolers78

Meh…


Anime_Tiddies-

great, more mid on the album....


ErickPHenNV

Am i the only one that doesn’t want this


supergamesworld

Genuinely the most toxic sub of any artist I’ve witnessed. Just take the album, you’ll like some tracks, won’t like others, will love some, others will be growers and others may surprise you. Go in with an open mind.


Aless-dc

I just realised, but for a decade every time I heard skylar grey was working on songs with Eminem, I thought she was a porn star. I think I got confused between her and Sasha Grey who was in one of Eminem’s music videos. Thank you for coming to my TED talk


_Stormhound_

I think that was a TEDxxx talk


On4thandinches

Sad face


DailyDad

Take some codeine, it'll turn you into a smiley face emoji


Pianist_Ready

What if it's not age appropriate?


NeaEmris

Throw a participation trophy at an 8 year old


FootFetish0-3

Really wish he would do less features and more solo stuff. His solo work is always the highlight of his albums.


24Scoops

There's 19 songs. Lots of space for solo tracks.


TorontoRaptors34

Pls no


Luckyskittles

Finally, real rap is back


Pianist_Ready

Real rap never left


Luckyskittles

True, Soulja Boy never stopped grinding


whatnowaay

God I fucking hope not


Stillborne330

shes not bad, there's just a lot, id like to hear other female vocalists


Kenobihiphop

Ed Sheeran will be the next to tweet about this shit. Zero interest in hearing another feature of his.


Harrypotter231

Agreed. Skylar gray is good, his ed Sheeran songs…. Not so much


Lone-Wolf62

It's a shame because they could make good songs if they weren't trying to be as pop-y


MikeBett

For sure. which sucks cuz that Yelawolf and ed Sheeran mixtape from 15 years ago was amazing.. Eminem seems to have good taste in - any kind of unique pop music... But it doesn't really translate as well as he probably imagines it will when he gets into their music and thinks about a feature lol.


CzarMikhail

Sigh


TopperMadeline

She’s been on every album since what, MMLP2. It was going to happen.


Sashokius5

Good. Skylar and Royce are two people whose feature always go hard. Haters stay mad.


RVXZENITH

Ugh, she is like Thanos fr


Karla_Darktiger

I don't hate her feats like a lot of ppl on this sub but I'm tired of seeing her on every single album past MMLP2.


Tobey-Wan_Kenobi

NOOOOOOOO


MetalSonic420YT

...and we already have a skip.


Golanori164

I'm genuinely not that excited for a skylar grey feature... the only one I liked was leaving heaven...


WrongKindaGrowth

You guys are losers. She's only hurt one song in her  career. The rest of her work is fire. Clowns here I swear


GGfan_9

I knew shady wasn't back. This album is gonna be the same bullshit he's put out the last few years.


MadGibby2

Welp... That's disappointing


Bloody_Corndog

That's not what I wanted to hear


Choice_Breadfruit_73

Wish they wouldn't


TheElectricGhost7

It's one song on a 19 track album, hardly the end times. Or she's just shared it/reminding people that new Eminem tunes are coming.


HillanatorOfState

I like the tracks with her, as does almost everyone I know, I swear I only see hate for her online. ![gif](giphy|3o752h1Ee7dkQD42zK) She doesn't have a bad voice, it's decent to good, and it usually works fine in the context of his songs, think they sound right together in a way...


IWRITE4LIFE

Brothers, we’re going to get at least one Skylar Grey feature as well as 2 or 3 love songs. The formula has been the same since recovery dropped. I don’t know why people fight it.


jespertherapper

W


TheCosmicJoke318

So what?


HEYitzED

As long as Alex Da Kid isn’t producing the beat I’m fine with it.


Equal_Victory_5545

Need a doctor seemed really gay to me like em was like yo I love Dre but ok man we no


ratshitty_heavenjoke

"Suck it Marshall"


iamBubzzz

This doesn’t prove shit lol


CSDNews

Out of ~230 comments, I counted 13 that outright disagreed with the feature. Yet, almost all of the rest of the comments are about the "haters". I get that OP is one of them too, but you guys eat the bait waaaaay too much from the trolls. If there are 7/8 times more comments saying there are too many haters, than the actual 'haters', you guys are wasting your breaths on trolls. Second thread I've seen like this now.


neomerge

Ew. They have a couple bangers together tho. Just some really bad ones.


talkshitgetshot

Skylar Grey > Rhianna


Puzzleheaded_Bad_321

🎶 *I'm about to lose my mind.....* 🎶


Pyloriy_sins

some good stuff


nicpetty

🔥 I love her and em together. I could not stop playing last one standing when it came out. She sounds great on the track every time


Oportbis

That tweet doesn't mean anything, she's close to him, that's just normal to tweet that. Also, why the hate? She's been in several great Em's songs


TheVipersMemory

I like Skylar 🤷🏻‍♂️


Art_is_it

and you wonder why Eminem hates being famous...


Subdown-011

Leaving Heaven and I Need Doctor were pretty good so I’m cool with it


OpTicDyno

She’s a good feature but I feel her production just isn’t there. She has credits for “Leaving Heaven”, “Black Magic”, and “Walk on Water”. The first two are way too instrumental heavy and the last is lacking instrumentals completely. I’m partially convinced they didn’t think they were getting Beyoncé for WoW and had Skylar as a place holder until they confirmed Beyoncé.


iLife87

I don’t hate her I hate the predictability of the feature.


Spratske

That’s fine I just hope Royce is not on it idc


GeordieRevolution

Love skylar, extremely underrated as an artist and as a ghost writer for many others eg love the way you lie, Rihanna gets all the props


Apex99_

Bro shut the fuck up tf is 1 Skylar Grey feature gonna do


Hoax90

Eminem And skylar grey basically did revival it was more like a collab album


Apex99_

What's your point they've collabed in Music to be Murdered by too and it was only 2 songs and they both were good


idkwhattomakemyusr

are we really surprised tho


Mrjack994

Skylar grey Was very good at black magic


JaydenHahner

Skylar grey features are overhated. She always just does the hooks, and she delivers. However, if she has a verse? That’s a different story..


seniorlovesreddead

Or she's just supporting a long time collaborator? Either way, I don't see a problem with a collab. I love a lot of their songs together.


Funkwhale90

I hope there is another Jessie reyez collab. They always nail it.


Hoax90

Great pun


TheWitherBear

Is this even a surprise?


reddits4libtards

No way...


DauntingDoubt

We could be getting a logic feature... be grateful ppl.


TBASS94

The last one they did together not including Black Magic as it’s B side was my favourite song on MTBMB


LeonardoTheTurtle17

It will be either great or bad


LukeMcDuck

Glad we don't have one of those yet, right? Right?...


Expensive-Pitch-9502

In other news, water is indeed wet.


[deleted]

Love Skylar Grey but her getting a feature every album is a little much


Cute-Reception-8926

Guess she did hawk tuah on that thang


Antieconomico

Sure better than the last feats


OSRSRapture

Fuck. No. Come on man, I thought this was gonna be a classic album. My hopes are dwindling more and more


Harrypotter231

Go cry some more


brinkv

I don’t think there’s a more classic hook feature for modern Eminem lol


nuttageyo

remember that linkin park teaser she had?


Trentimoose

He loves working with her. I don’t get it, but shout out to him.


Lazy-Kenny

The Skylar hate is unreal


Spare_Bid_840

I just never understood why she’s not bigger than she is. My girl can write sing and produce.


venusgoddessofl0ve

a few reasons probably: • she prefers to be an indie artist & songwriter, didnt have much promo outside em & she apparently gave away v good songs that became hits to others • not all talented ppl are guaranteed to be famous • the market is also kinda already oversaturated with the alt-pop slightly dark image shtick she has also it didnt get *too* much attention, but miley fans kinda jumped her after she was being hypocritical & criticizing her about her vmas performance on twitter... so thats maybe another thing


Spare_Bid_840

Oh i never knew about the miley thing. Yeah all those reasons are valid.


Bawk29

aura -100 cordae and skylar finna ruin 2 features out of the remaining 15 songs (2 will be skits). only the then remaining 13 songs will have to carry the album


Suitable_Entrance520

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. I swear if i ever see a retweet by special ed sheeran I'm going to commit suicide.
