I still play it, it's one of the songs from Recovery that I find myself still listening to regularly (along with Cold Wind Blows, Going Through Changes, Ridaz, Session One, and Almost Famous).

it is a great track. Its definitely still leagues ahead of whats out now. The way the beat builds up during the first verse is genius. This album gets a lot of flack for its beats, but im sure em mastered them with dre to fit his tone. This song is an example of that. take away the chorus and it could easily fit on the eminem show

I didn't even know this song was hated.
Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
And I got an Evil Twin
So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?

Same. It's a top 3 Recovery song for me.

I love this song, imo one of Eminem's best. Probably top 20 for me

Top 8 from Recovery for me. Awesome verses, but the hook is slightly annoying and that beat is a little bit too popish.

One of my favorite songs off Recovery.

I loved the schemes at the beginning.

I don't think she understands the sacrifices that I've made
Maybe if this bitch had acted right I woulda stayed
But I've already wasted over half my life
I woulda laid
down and died for you

Me either. It's quality. One of my fav tracks off the album. I rated the whole album tbh. A massive improvement from Relapse.

It amazed me at my first listen but as I re-listened I started to lose interest.

The metaphor of personifying his fame as a whole was corny. Maybe not the concept of doing so but certainly his execution.

That, and his rhyming was straight clumsy.
