没有爱

〈没有爱〉（"No Love"）是美国饶舌歌手阿姆与小韦恩合作演唱的歌曲，出自阿姆第七张录音室专辑《好的很》，于2010年10月5日作为专辑第三支单曲在电台首播。这首歌由美国嘻哈唱片制作人Just Blaze制作，其副歌取样自哈德威1993年的歌曲〈What Is Love〉。〈没有爱〉在《告示牌》百大单曲榜上排名最高时位列第23名，并在美国本土累积400万次数位下载量，获得美国唱片业协会4倍白金认证。《Complex (杂志)》杂志将这首歌评为2010年最佳歌曲第八名。

歌曲的音乐录影带由克里斯·罗宾逊执导，预告片于2010年9月29日在阿姆的YouTube频道上释出，完整版于翌日发布。录像带讲述一个被霸凌的小男孩在听了阿姆和小韦恩的歌后变得更加茁壮的故事。阿姆和小韦恩先后于《周六夜现场》、波纳罗音乐节等节目及活动中演唱这首歌。

## 制作

〈没有爱〉由阿姆、小韦恩和Just Blaze共同创作，后者亦执手歌曲的制作。人声由麦克·斯特兰奇和瑞安·韦斯特在美国密歇根州芬代尔的肖像工作室录制。2010年8月27日，《告示牌》报导此曲将是《好的很》专辑的第三支单曲。歌曲于2010年10月5日冲击电台，时长五分钟，以B大调谱写，速度为每分钟129拍；其副歌取样自特立尼达-德国籍歌手哈德威1993年的歌曲〈What Is Love〉。歌词讲述过去曾让小韦恩和阿姆失望的人，并抨击他们的反对者。

在谈到为何与小韦恩合作时，阿姆表态是鉴于上次为小韦恩的专辑《摇滚重生》做出〈Drop the World〉一曲后，他们达成等价交易，让小韦恩也出现在他的专辑中。据制作人Just Blaze所说，他当初觉得原曲过于简单，并想把他改编成“你可以真正嗨摇起来的东西”。接着他把样本档案给阿姆聆听，阿姆理解其概念后就开始着手，并在两天后录唱了人声。后来阿姆有意与小韦恩搭档合唱，Blaze和阿姆两人就飞往迈阿密找韦恩。小韦恩在一夜之间写完并录制了他的正歌。回到纽约后，Blaze再添加更多钩子 (音乐)补强歌曲。

## 评价

整体而言，〈没有爱〉获得乐评家的普遍好评。《新音乐快递》在对《好的很》专辑的评论中，对这首歌给予正面评价。作家山姆·沃尔夫森（Sam Wolfson）说：“在〈没有爱〉中，小韦恩担当了将近两分半钟的炒作人，然后阿姆进来并唱出他职业生涯中最优秀的其中一段主歌。这让韦恩听起来像杰德沃德时代的香草冰。”BBC音乐钟爱这首歌中的取样，指出其“出色地借用了哈德威1993年的热门单曲〈What Is Love〉中欧陆舞曲的节奏，并邀请小韦恩客串一场壮丽但乏味的饶舌。”About.com的约翰·马西森（John Matheessen）将这首歌评为《好的很》的四首最佳曲目之一。音乐网站前音后果的温斯顿·罗宾斯（Winston Robbins）也赞成歌曲的取样，并称其为专辑中最优秀的曲目之一。

"'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."

## Chart performance

"No Love" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 23 on July 10, 2010 after the release of his album Recovery and remained on the charts for 20 weeks.

## Music video

### Development

The music video was directed by American music video director Chris Robinson, who previously directed both Eminem and Lil Wayne in the "Drop the World" music video. The video began shooting in June 2010. A thirty-second teaser was released on September 29, 2010, on Eminem's official YouTube channel. It shows Eminem rapping inside of a recording studio, interlaced with scenes where a child gets bullied. Some of the music video was shot in front of a green screen. Lil Wayne's part was filmed before he was incarcerated, according to a tweet from Eminem: "We got Wayne's verse filmed before he went away luckily. Gotta shoot the rest of a 'No Love' video real soon. Keep your head up Weezy!" The official music video premiered on Thursday, September 30 on VEVO and various MTV channels at 7:56 PM EST.

### Synopsis and reception

The "No Love" video begins with a boy that has a flashback to an occasion when he is forced to evade several dodgeballs from bullies. He has several flashbacks of himself being bullied while he is in his room. The second one of them is when he goes to his locker to get his things with him and when he puts his hat on. The same bullies arrive and pick his hat off and start beating him. Lil Wayne begins rapping at this point. The bullying flashback scenes are interlaced with Wayne rapping in a black, smoky room, which was filmed in front of a green screen. Meanwhile, Eminem walks into the studio with his lyric sheet, preparing for his recording session. He also joins behind Lil Wayne in the black room. The school boy encounters the bullies again in the school corridor, banging into them, but he simply walks off. While the boy daydreams, he listens to songs by Eminem and Lil Wayne in his earphones. The walls in his room are covered with posters of the two rappers, including a promotional poster of 8 Mile, a hip hop musical film that stars Eminem. In another flashback, he is encountered by the bullies in a restroom. The boy's hat is thrown into the toilet and his school items are thrown out. At this point, Eminem begins singing the chorus and the boy is beaten up and left crying. During the chorus, it has Eminem singing in front of images of school playground equipment (a basketball ring, monkey bars, etc.) and dark clouds on a screen behind him.

During the second verse, Eminem appears in a recording studio, rapping his verse in "No Love." American hip hop producers Just Blaze, The Alchemist and Denaun Porter make cameo appearances in the studio. When the boy arrives home from school, his parents see his injuries and begin arguing. The boy leaves to go skateboarding. After listening to Eminem and Lil Wayne, he is motivated and soon has the urge to stand up to the bullies. He arrives wearing a hoodie. At first the boy gets knocked down, but gets back up. At this moment, Eminem finishes his verse and starts singing the chorus. The scenario appears to play out in several ways where in one scene the boy appears to strike one of the bullies and then runs, only to be caught by them. In the next scene, he appears to be on top of one of the bullies and strikes him yet near the end it only appears he postures against the bullies and then walks away. Eminem also finishes his session and leaves to end the video.

Kelley L. Carter from MTV News said, "Bullies beware!" and that the video "sends a powerful message, in line with much of his latest album, Recovery." Simon Vozick-Levinson from Entertainment Weekly gave a similar opinion, quoting, "Bullied schoolkids of the world, take heart: You have two very powerful allies named Eminem and Lil Wayne." Website Hypebeast said that "the clip sets its focus on growing pains."

## Live performances

Eminem has performed "No Love" at The Home & Home Tour with American rapper Jay-Z. The duo performed the song at the Yankee Stadium in New York City on September 13, 2010, unaccompanied by Lil Wayne. Having performed the chorus and his own verse only, Eminem spoke about his feelings during the performance: "Do not think that I don’t know where I’m at right now, I’m also honored to be on this stage in The Bronx, the birthplace of hip hop." The two artists performed the song on Saturday Night Live during December 18, 2010 in Lil Wayne's first major television appearance since his release from prison. Many profane lyrics were replaced while the rest were not said at all. They were accompanied by electric guitars, musical keyboards and drums. The stage was decorated with holiday themed decorations. As worded by Mawuse Ziegbe from MTV, "Lil Wayne spit the first verse with his signature unhinged energy, asserting his return to the live-television circuit. Eminem helmed the rest of the song, nimbly dropping his lyrics with abandon." Eminem wore a black jacket and a cap, while Lil Wayne wore a white T-shirt. The performance also included other songs by each of the artists, such as "6 Foot 7 Foot" performed by Lil Wayne and "Won't Back Down" performed by Eminem. DJ Scoob Doo described Wayne's performance: "The energy in the building is historical and it's extra special to see everybody fight for position backstage to see Lil Wayne take over SNL."

The song was performed in the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival by Eminem and his hypeman Mr. Porter. He wore a black Bad Meets Evil T-shirt and camouflage shorts. He also performed songs with Royce da 5'9". Lil Wayne was not present at the live performance, despite performing in the festival. The performance was widely praised. According to James Montgomery of MTV News, "It's the same renewed vigor Eminem has displayed on his most-recent efforts." Adam Grahan from The Detroit News said "Eminem injected the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival with a heavy dose of Detroit swagger on Saturday night." Magazine The Hollywood Reporter described the performance: "Eminem was in top form, fast and angry as he stalked the stage in long camouflage shorts and a black t-shirt." Eminem performed "No Love" without Lil Wayne at Lollapalooza 2011 in Chicago on August 6, 2011. The performance was widely praised by news reporters.
