    I've never heard anyone outside the internet feel or say this song is not a classic song even none Em fans say this song touched them

    I also use the term internet losley people on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube outlets adore this song. When i say internet i mean hip-hop message boards like this all have a similar thing in that they are dominated by males, hip-hop heads

    If u said this to someone outside the internet they would look at u like u crazy Koolo

    No it does not have the best hook a classic hook but not the best

    Stronger Than I Was
    Baby
    So Much Better
    Bezerk
    Evil Twin
    So Far
    Brainlessd

    Are all better hooks. Nate is obviously the better singer than Em but these hooks are more catchy

    absolutely love this part. I love how effortless the line "One thing I never asked was where the f--- my deadbeat dad was" came off.

    meh if you truly forgive someone, and truly mean your apology, why wouldn't you want to have a relationship with them? "love you from afar" or whatever just seems like posturing on his part... very odd song tonally

    There's a ton of reasons why somebody might forgive somebody for a past wrong done to them but not want to have any form of relationship with them. It's also possible he knows that a normal relationship with his mother is impossible at this point and the only way they could have anything that resembles a positive one would be to keep some distance between them.

    The beat and chorus doesnt fit as an eminem song for me...it's probably the worst song on MMLP2. The content feels unemotional too how he delivers it. When i heard mmlp or tes and even encore to an extent for the first time, he made me feel something or believe what he was saying. I dont get jack s--- from this song. Its a dud.

    The "ma" line too...wtf. he IS f---ing lazy. He took 3 years and 100 songs to deliver mmlp2 too, lol.

    Beautiful pain however, goat 10/10 modern Em. Although the song is generic, it is well done and at least tries to emulate passion. I think a Em mistakes passion for yelling more often than not these days....

    The concept of the video was actually awesome but they could've pulled it off better.

    The warning helped, haven't seen some of the people who can't say positive things post in here

    Anyway, decent song wit lazy/bad writing along with some great parts. The brigde is the best part of the song imo

    Has he at shows he's done since he released MMLP2? I haven't seen any footage of any of his newer concerts so I was just curious
