"The Way I Am" is his best song. :worship:

[BigBoss]

yea, Difficult was made RIGHT after Proof died, or if not right after then definitley soon after. You can hear how much it fucked him up, the casket line? he was about to cry around then.

and yea GTC has all those effects, but what makes Difficult so good imo is that it doesnt need all those effects to be the way it is

His most emotional song imo is Going Through Changes. Talks about himself being suicidal, his family and Proof.

But even in GTC, which is very, very high up on my list of favorite Em songs, his voice doesn't quite show the emotion like it does in Difficult. For obvious reasons of course, but still...I do love that about Difficult, even if it's influenced by drugs and alcohol and shit.

Good point, but the song itself (GTC) is very emotional. The hospital sounds, the imagery, Hailie (or someone supposed to be Hailie) saying "Daddy don't you die on me", and other lines like "the first tour, the last tour, he was still alive", and "I still love your mother that'll never change" always get me.

Difficult is just a mess and I don't like hearing him sound that way. It's definitely the most emotional, but not for reasons that I like. He's about to overdose and die after making that. It's just..ugh.

Absolutely, the content in GTC is unrivaled.

I can definitely understand that. I just...I don't know, I like being able to hear the emotion in voices/see it on faces, as well as hearing it in the words. I don't know how to explain it and I probably sound like a freak. It just makes me feel like I can connect to them more. Like if a song has really emotional lyrics, but not the equal emotion in the voice to back it up, it doesn't hit me as hard.

thats exactly why i think its so great tbh

[Amaranthine]

Yeah, I definitely get you. It makes sense, it's easier to convey the pain / happiness / whatever that they're feeling when it's shown so much you can practically picture them in your head.

It's just so emotional that the song makes me sad to think of him in that state and how close he was to dying, that's all lol.

Yeah, that's one of his songs that depresses me, I have to be in a certain kind of mood to be able to handle it.

It's really hard to pick a best song, it's easier to have different categories for this shit, like, the most angry track or whatever.

This track would have to be the most brutal track in terms of vocals.

It's one those songs, that boils your inner self and raises confidence in the minds of the listener. That's what has been the main motto of this song. The base line gets you in the mood, and what follows, is complete eargasm. This song belong to the "relate to" category, not only one person, but everyone listening to it can feel the vibe that the song manages to unleash. Anyone in search of a self identity can get the 1st step in achieving that by listening to this song.

This is one of the highlights of Eminem's career, that established him as people's messiah.

[SliK]

Amazing song. It's my favorite Eminem song, or at least top 3.
