obviously a brilliant song lyrically, but equally brilliant MUSICALLY.
this song combines 3 genres:
rap -- obviously
rock -- samples Aerosmith's "Dream On", for the chorus
classical -- the song starts w/ string music (from "Dream On")
lyrically, it has just as much depth -- classical seriousness to discussion (about politics, legal system, etc., other serious topics), but a huge rock/rap edge to it
It says it all that this isn't even in his top 20 biggest selling songs in the UK, and yet i doubt there is a person alive who wouldn't be able to tell you what song it is just from hearing the long guitar outro (even if that is a sample from Aerosmith, 99% would know it was eminem)
