Eminem's an odd case, for me. I can't say I really LIKE his lyrics, or nod my head saying "yeah, that's so true," like I do with most music I listen to and love lyrically, least of all in a song like this, haha. Rather, I find I like Eminem more in the way that I APPRECIATE his lyrics, and how much skill goes into it, and this song's a prime example of that. I almost approach him in a scholarly kind of way, I study his lyrical style, his rhyme patterns, and try to figure out how he comes up with half of this stuff, it's just crazy (in more ways than one).
I can't say I like the lyrics or relate to raping celebrities, but in this song, the last verse particularly, just has my head spinning and asking myself how the crap he did that. The way he manages to rhyme words you would never think sound the same is just crazy, I don't know how he does it. No one can quite do what Em does quite the way he does it.
I'm just glad Eminem's back on form after the dreadful outing that was Encore, yuck.
My favorite song on the CD, I think.
