    It really is a classic, and pretty much the best track from Encore. I think everyone can agree on that. In fact, I've never even seen anyone call this song bad.

    Only thing I hate about it is that he censored Suge Knight's name. Some p---- s--- right there.

    Yeah, but this was way after the whole thing with Suge, em was just recalling the time that Suge and Dre were beefing when Em just got signed to Aftermath. Had this been the only case I wouldn't mind, but since he censored Beyonce's name on No Apologies I have a hard time believing that it was just that. Em just didn't want any of it anymore after his daughter got pulled into a hip hop beef lol.

    I agree, I like it still. It's crazy how serious things got in his head tho.

    The first 5 tracks on Encore are all dope.

    He rambles on for a bit too much at the end of the song but overall it's a good track.

    I think the main criticism is that people can find it boring.

    Only problem with this song is that it's off Encore so it gets overlooked. It's a dope song imo, with good flow, beat and a good message too.

    I don't enjoy the beat, and the hook.
    The verses are fine.

    song is good, not Ems most prolific work but all verses are solid.. that hook tho?that is its weakest point and never really could get past it. like crazy in love.. i cant do that one either. almost all the hooks on encore were mostly s---, or had a s--- sound effect (literally)
