    It's a tough choice for me, as they both gave me goosebumps. From his display of emotions towards both circumstances.

    Skylar killed that hook though..

    Cleaning out my closet is d--- iconic. Imagine any other artist releasing a song like that as a d--- single, and it being f---ing successful. The hook is perfectly bittersweet too. Testament to how amazing that song is and how talented eminem was at that time. Genuinely one of his best songs, this comparison doesn't even register

    I think it’s sad how much hate he had for his mom when she stuck around

    No I just checked and there is no internet connection on my dads ball sack to connect to this site. I'll try resetting the router and check again
