When you make corny radio songs like Love the way you lie and pointless tracks like So bad you don't deserve a 10.
So Bad is a bitches & hoes song, but it's still got a point.
I think the corny radio song you're referring to is Not Afraid, not Love The Way You Lie, which is a well-written, haunting song about domestic abuse by two people who have experienced it in some form or another
What point? Personally thought it was quite inane.
Love the way you lie is well written (story telling and rhyme wise), I just found the topic quite corny. The window pane line was a nail in the coffin in my opinion.
The only annoying thing about Not afraid, if you ask me, is the downtalking of Relapse. I got used to the beat and the singing on that particular track was never really an issue for me. Maybe the "feed it beans"-line was a bit lame.
