Mike recently endorsed a poll on the Fort Minor Forums where fans can vote for their favorite of the two leaked Fort Minor songs: "Remember The Name" and "Petrified". He went on to explain: "we're going to be doing a poll ... where you can vote for which song you like better: Remember The Name OR Petrified. we'll give you more info about it soon...the vote will be this weekend only." Any Fort Minor forums members are eligible to vote. We're unsure of whether this is merely a survey or something more important that could decide a single, but the latter seems unlikely because a video seems to have been shot or is in the process of being shot. Visit the poll here. Thanks to babakl!
I'm surprised Petrified has as many votes as it does. The lyrics in Petrified just suck and anger me (bike and levy parts).
I hope it's to help him decide the first single (with video and radio play.) Then I'd want to change my vote to Petrified so teenies eat that garbage up because it's such a bad song and keep Remember the Name holy.
Petrified was written and recorded before Hurricane Katrina, if that's your reason for being upset about the levee part. Funny, I haven't seen anyone angry over the song "When the Levee Breaks." Oh I know why, it's not rap, it can't be nearly as offensive. And I think the line "I could quit and get it back like I'm riding a bike" is cool, just like you never forget how to ride a bike, Mike won't forget his roots.

Mike shouldn't be censored because he recorded a song before Hurricane Katrina hit. He also shouldn't be criticized for releasing a song with that lyric in it. If people are offended by that, I'd like them to take on the rest of the rap industry with their more offensive and derogatory lyrics. Petrified > Remember The Name.
I voted for Remember The Name, I think it's better then Petrified. If this poll does decide what song will be the single, then I really hope that Remember The Name wins.
I personally like Remeber the Name and that is what i voted for. Petrified doesnt really have any well, statis, if u know what i mean. Remember the name would be the perfect 1st single off the album bc the song sorta opens up the theme of the album.
...and you'd know what the theme of the album is right, being as you've heared it and all. Obviously. Anyway, I like them both as much as each other at the minute, so I haven't voted.
I guarantee Mike did a video for both RTN and Petrified and this poll will decide which video will be released first. The other video will serve as the second single/video.
