    Flashing DJ Khalil's monstrous production, Almost Famous is definitely an underrated song off Recovery...Its one of the most thematic beats Eminem has ever chosen and the theme surrounding it was epic...the fiery energy Em brings to this song is incredible...Recovery wouldn't be the same without this dope record

    What sort of deranged argument is this for a song?

    This song would be vastly improved if he wasnt screaming his lungs out for no reason the entire track. Good song, but one of the worst offenders of the yelling for no reason he was doing on recovery. Imagine this with a normal delivery

    It would be a cool song as a standalone, but Recovery as a whole is a very exhausting album. By the time you get to Almost Famous, you've already listened to ~10 overproduced rock stadium anthems with Em screaming. I appreciate the storytelling, the flow and the rhyme schemes, but it's not a song I often return to.

    Came here to say this.

    I love the concept of the song and for the most part a love the execution. But the screaming was unnecessary.

    Contrary to the opinions here I love the energy he shows on the track. This is a track where the shouting works imo

    He has a few nice moments and love the beat. The chorus is f---ing awful though and the song is scattered with awful lyrics.
