    Hmm. It is a pure classic. Flawless song. Nostalgic and I absolutely love it. So I can agree.

    I don't think so...

    Half of Recovery would be a better choice.

    Even "Beautiful Pain" with Sia from MMLP2.

    Or even "Kings Never Die", even though it's just another song about being an underdog.

    But yeah, "When I'm Gone" is flawless.

    underrated team tbh

    was gonna say this as well. I love when I'm gone and GTC but I'm not sure I'd say GTC is better. I think I might end up listening to GTC before When I'm Gone if it came down to it, but I'm not sure.

    sweden line doesn't even matter. it's one line.

    His delivery was so perfect, it didn't even matter.

    Whereas, his delivery on alot of Recovery was s---, and it didn't disguise a terrible line like When I'm Gone did. Only song I can really think of that is absoutely flawless when it comes to non-cornyness all around is Going Through Changes. The sample is beautiful and Em delivers it with a perfect tone. Hopsin, take notes on doing a somber track.
