@adonnis - pull up, there's refreshments
Remember "Hi, My Name Is" ?
Well that was the start of one of the most successful single formulas that any artist has ever had. It was followed by "Real Slim Shady" which Interscope demanded of him for the release of his second album. After that we had "Without Me" . . then the childish "Just Lose It", which was at the height of his supposed addiction to pain killers and sleeping medications or whatever else drug that he wanted to market to white America
"We Made You" and there was critical backlash over the flows so he abandoned the formula for a more Alex Da Kid type of single "Not Afraid" ("I Need a Doctor" and 50 Cent's attempt, "My Life" . . evidently turning into a lead single formula for Interscope rap artist . . even MGK "Invincible" )
He came back from "Not Afraid" with this new survival track and probably signed a multi-million dollar deal to lend it to that video game for marketing purposes.
"Berzerk" . . is an attempt at taking this successful formula and steer it more towards a party song. If Eminem can make a party hit it would get club play.
. . one problem Eminem, how you gonna start off the party track with "this party looks wack" . . how the DJ suppose to drop that through the night?
Overall score 88 - B+
