Customer Reviews

Have Trouble Motivating Yourself??? Listen to This!
YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT. This is the secret of life. When you listen to this masterpiece, you hear the message of a young genius, born into poverty, who kept that secret in his mind and did not let anyone stop his methodical march to the top of the pop charts. I listen to this song, and it gives me the chills, because it tells the story of his life, and tells me to keep my focus, and keep on my march while the world is telling me "it can't be done." This song transcends the boundaries of pop, rap, poetry and words -- it is a slap in the back of the head that tells you to STOP WHINING AND FACE REALITY, while keeping the secret of life front and center in your mind. I defy you to not try harder to succeed after listening to this song. PARENTS: Forget the parental warnings! This is a "MUST LISTEN" for your kids!

Must have been Stan checking in
I dig the song. It didn't change my world, but it captures the passion of experience, and the off-kilter rhythm in the chorus is pretty darn cool.

I do have to wonder about any reviewer who would call this "absolutely fantastic, great beat, fantastic lyrics and good flow," and then subtract stars due to its being overplayed. Why yes, Clear Channel *is* a blight upon humanity. Welcome to the 21st century. Why doesn't he take out his frustration upon the corporate entities who deserve it, rather than upon the artist and "poser fans" who are (needless to say) less hardcore than him? I don't know, but 5 out of 5 reviewers found his comments helpful, and Eminem may get a few more good "Stan"-like songs out of the situation.

Not to say that Eminem isn't something a corporate entity in and of himself, whose employers push his music without restraint or apology. That's a given. If you want to rail against the system that floods our airwaves with redundancy, I'll be right there with you. But don't call something a "beautiful song" and then tell me how it was "ruined" by people who are neither the artist or you. As far as I'm concerned, that's a basic misreading of the artist-fan relationship. Like the song or don't like the song. Who else does or doesn't like the song, and how often the song is played, really shouldn't matter. Right?

The only good rap song from the only good rapper
Of All Eminem songs(Yes,I've heard em all)this is the only
one I like and the music video is not bad either.Here it is:

1-Lose Yourself [4 Stars]
2-Lose Yourself (Instrumental) [4 Stars]
3-Renegade [2 Stars]

If you like rap,you'll love it.If you like eminem,you'll love it.If you're not into rap,then don't even hear it.
