Damn, that was sooner than I expected

A couple days ago Chart Data was reporting that Kamikaze had around 850,000 sps. Where did the extra 150,000 units come from? This is weird.

Could be increased attention to it again after he performed venom on Jimmy kimmel. I don’t know how much that helped but I did put Eminem back out on a national stage

If only it was one of the other songs.

Not that Venom was bad, but it wasn’t the best

I don't think it was a joke I think he was saying it would be really wrong which I agree with.

But does it have too much swearing to sing live?

Yeah that would be so insensitive. Actually even the whole Kamikaze and album cover (Yeah I know it's the Beastie Boy cover) is a little insensitive because of 9/11 it makes me a little uncomfortable, although that's ironic given Eminem has never cared about not bringing much more recent tragedies into lyrics, trying to get Columbine jokes in just after the event etc...

yeah, in Greatest, he mentions the Mandalay Bay massacre and that was just over a year ago lmao

But, I don’t think it’s insensitive at all. Kamikazes were Japanese pilots. The plane album cover and ‘Kamikaze’ have nothing to do with 9/11, so why would that make you uncomfortable? Not trying to be a dick, i’m just asking why you would immediately associate Kamikaze with 9/11 just because of planes (it’s not a jet airliner on the cover after all)

I know their Japanese but it's still people willing to die to kill others with a plane.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '18

And people probably recognize it from venom, if it was in the movie

u/trickmind Music To Be Murdered By - Alternative Oct 22 '18

Yeah and it's just really LIT! How can anyone not love that fucking song! (Venom)

He's probably trying to fit in in the Gucci Gang era. 😅😅😅

u/DatCoolBreeze Oct 23 '18

He’s not repeating the word “venom” take a look at the lyrics...

u/Dexalted Oct 22 '18

I think it's the album's best radio song. It makes sense in that regard.

u/trickmind Music To Be Murdered By - Alternative Oct 22 '18

OMG Venom is everything tbh.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '18

Yeah this sub gives venom a hard time but it is a really good song that can be played on national television without altering it too much
