Hair Metal is called such because it’s famous for the glammed out rockstars with ridiculous outfits and crazy hair. Danny Brown’s hair is equally as crazy, so just like how those rockstar’s hotel rooms were pretty messy and ‘hairy’, so is is.

“Dare” (also stylised as “挑戦 (DARE)”) was released on August 29, 2005 as the second single from Demon Days. It features guest vocals from iconic Manchester rock band Happy Mondays‘ own Shaun Ryder.

In the overall narrative of Demon Days, “Dare” takes place after the general depression spanning from “Feel Good Inc” to “White Light”. Importantly, it is sung by Noodle rather than 2-D. This is likely meant to convey the sense of a second perspective.

Noodle’s lines tells 2-D that if he is so distraught over the current state of the world, he should take action because all he does is whine about it.

The song’s title supposedly came about due to Ryder’s thick Mancunian accent. He was unable to say the phrase “It’s There”, which was the song’s original title, so it was simply changed to “DARE.”

The music video mainly features Noodle, who has Shaun Ryder’s head in her closet hooked up with wires and tubes. Noodle flicks a switch and she dances around her room as the music plays.

I’m not sure if the rest of the band mind that I’m the star of this video…But whatever! I mean, I saw way too much of Murdoc showing off in the “Feel Good Inc.” video. And I thought that the boys misbehaved badly in it. As I said, it’s my song, you know? I wrote it! So, I can choose who’s going in the video and how it’s going to be made. In fact, when we started shooting the video, I didn’t actually tell any of the band that we had begun. You can see 2-D listening through the floorboards unaware of what is happening and Russel is on the toilet with the newspaper also wondering what the noise is.
- Noodle

This is a diss towards SpaceGhostPurrp and Raider Klan. They claim that they ride on people and wear all black but Ferg knows that they’re all talk and not about that life. They’re “pussy-ass nigga(s)” because they’re talking about the A$AP Mob but won’t step. In other words “All bark but no action”.

This track came out of a brief period of time when Royce was beefing with D12. After Royce dissed the group in an interview, D12 caught wind of his remarks and considered it a challenge.

At the 50 Cent release party in Detroit, D12 handed out a new mixtape to the fans. The first track was titled “Smackdown” and started the CD by sampling the Royce interview where he called them out. The track went into a full on diss record over the beat of 50 Cent’s “Back Down”. However, Eminem did not appear in any of these D12 tracks, it was only the 5 other members.

After hearing this, Royce went to a local radio station for an interview, claiming he’s going to be coming back much harder. While there, they played the (at the time) unheard “Shit On You” diss Royce recorded to Bizarre years back.

Over the next few days Royce released 3 more tracks, “Malcolm X”, which is a diss to all of D12, “What We Do”, also a diss to D12, and finally “We Ridin'”, a full track directed straight towards Eminem.

Even though most of The Preface is produced by Black Milk, this particular track is produced by T3.

T3 is one member of ‘Slum Village’, a Detroit collective that Elzhi used to be in before he went solo.

Although this track appears on ‘The Preface’, this song was also on Elzhi’s Europass Tour CD.

If you listen to both versions, you can conclude they are a little bit different, the album version is more polished.
