My favorite song by Eminem, probably because of the Martika sample.

I hate when artists sample other songs, and the only catchy part of the song is the sample. This is why I usually don't approve of sampling, because the sample usually becomes the hook of the song. Exceptions include Rihanna's 'SOS' and Madonna's 'Hung Up' where they actually created their OWN song around the sample, whereas Eminem uses the sample to be the main theme of his song.

I never knew there was an original song to this.  I liked this ALOT when it was out...The song and the video would give me chills EVERYTIME...that chorus....so haunting. Lol, I'm not sure what the song was about, but the chorus is what sold it to me. Haven't listened to it in AGES. |

I disliked Eminem until this song came out.

Not my favourite of his by any means, but I do like it, and think it's one of the (few) bright spots on Encore.

I remember the day the video premiered, I was working a double shift that day and this song played every half hour. By the end of the day I was ready to rip the TV out.

I enjoy the Martika sample, but overall I could do without this song. He has much better.
