No Love
"No Love" is a song by American rapper Eminem featuring Lil Wayne. It was originally released on June 18, 2010 as a track from Eminem's seventh studio album Recovery, before being released as its third single from the album on October 5, 2010. The song was written by the artists alongside producer Just Blaze, with additional writing credits going to Dee Dee Halligan and Junior Torello for the sampling of "What Is Love" by Haddaway, featuring its chorus as the backing vocals. "No Love" reached number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. It has sold more than a million digital downloads in the United States. It was ranked the 8th best song of 2010 by Complex.
The music video was directed by Chris Robinson. A teaser premiered on Eminem's YouTube channel on September 29, 2010. The video premiered September 30 and is about a boy who is bullied but eventually defends himself after being motivated by listening to Eminem and Lil Wayne songs. Various hip hop producers make cameo appearances in the video. The song was performed by Eminem and Lil Wayne during an episode of Saturday Night Live and on Eminem's and Jay-Z's The Home & Home Tour. In August 2022, "No Love" was featured on Eminem's second greatest hits album Curtain Call 2.
The song was recorded by Mike Strange and Ryan West in Effigy Studios in Ferndale, Michigan. The song was mixed by Eminem, Strange, West, and Just Blaze and was engineered by Joe Strange. The song samples "What Is Love" by Trinidadian-German singer Haddaway during the chorus, as well as sampling a sped up chord progression from the song in Eminem's parts. When the song begins, there is a thirty-second intro and the sampled words "no love" echo. On August 28, 2010, Billboard reported that "No Love" would be the third single from Recovery. The song impacted radio on October 5, 2010 and was released as the third single from Recovery. The full song is four minutes and fifty-nine seconds long.
Eminem spoke about how Lil Wayne got to collaborate with him. He stated that the song was Lil Wayne appearing on Eminem's album after Eminem did the song "Drop the World" that appeared on Lil Wayne's album Rebirth. "I did a song with Wayne called 'Drop the World' for his [Rebirth] album, and we had just agreed to do an even swap, so I wanted him on my album." Just Blaze also spoke about the making of the song. He spoke about using a sample in the song. He wanted to turn the simple elements of the Haddaway song and use them for "something you can actually rock to." At first, the schedules were not available for recording, but were eventually made. He also proposed to Eminem the use of samples for the chorus:
"I remembered that I had the idea with the Haddaway sample in my computer, so I threw on the headphones, touched it up, and played it for him. At first, he didn't get it hundred percent. I think he wasn't sure what I was going for because it's such a comic sample. But once I broke down the idea to him, another angle: 'I don't need you no more, don't want to see you no more, you get no love.' Then it clicked."
When Eminem understood the concept, he was willing to use it, and had recorded vocals two days later. Eminem later had a desire to collaborate with Lil Wayne. Blaze and Eminem flew to Miami and Wayne had apparently written and recorded his verse in one night. After returning to New York, they worked more on the hook. The song is about people who have let Eminem and Lil Wayne down in the past.
Overall, "No Love" was met with positive reception. NME published an album review of Recovery and gave a positive opinion on the song. Writer Sam Wolfson said, "'No Love' sees Lil Wayne act as hype man for a whole two and a half minutes before Eminem comes in and drops one of the best verses of his career. It makes Wayne sound like Jedward-era Vanilla Ice." BBC Music favored the sampling in the song, quoting, "'No Love' brilliantly borrows its Eurodance tempo from Haddaway's massive 1993 hit 'What Is Love' and welcomes Lil Wayne for a splendidly languorous guest rap." guardian.co.uk gave a positive review on "No Love", with Kitty Empire quoting that it "pits a pinging Em in a friendly against Lil Wayne." John Matheessen from About.com named "No Love" as one of the four best tracks on Recovery. Winston Robbins of music website Consequence of Sound also favored the use of sampling in the song, and called it one of the best tracks of the album.
"'No Love' (feat. Lil' Wayne) is an instant hip-hop darling, first because this is a collaboration between two of the hottest MCs in the game, and second because it's a solid piece. It samples Haddaway's 'What Is Love', more commonly known as the song that Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan loved to bob their heads to on SNL, and seamlessly uses the sample and the chorus to produce an extremely impressive and highly listenable piece."
