 * Symbol question.svg The hook is a bit long and has too much content. Can we work on it to make it a bit flow-er? Also, is it the most interesting thing about the song? Why not using a hook with Eminem on it? I have found this: and this . The latter says: "The song is a little controversial because it’s an ode to feeling “numb” after taking drugs" and "The song bumps along on a slow groove of an Egyptian flute riff, a crashing bombastic beat and a warped sample from Kanye West‘s ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’". So, the song evokes drugs and samples Kanye West's "Can’t Tell Me Nothing". Those are better hooks, I guess. Add such info to the article and run one of those hooks, or even both. That's my recommendation. —  ΛΧΣ  21™  04:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * ALT1:... that Rihanna and Eminem sampled Kanye West in "Numb", a song that evokes taking drugs?
 * ALT2:... that Rihanna and Eminem enjoyed being "Numb" after taking drugs?
 * The second alt is for humorous purposes only, although it can be considered too. — ΛΧΣ  21™  05:08, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Lol. Go for ALT2 then. I've added the info. AARON &bull; TALK   11:11, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good. I'd have no problem in approving ALT2, but I'll wait to see if anyone has issues with it ;) — ΛΧΣ  21™  14:50, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
