    One of the worst songs of his career. The horrible punchlines, corny hook, and awful beat somehow = one of his most important songs to you people? Lmao

    Loved it when it came out as it was a nice change from serial killing sprees.

    Looking back, the punchlines were cringy but who cares, it's an anthem for 2k10. It doesn't have to age well.

    Beat is good. His flow is fine. He even sings his own hook. The song shoul have been my fav when u look at it but no it's not. I don't really like the song it's just ok to me. I don't really know why...

    It's a decent song at face value. If you actually listen to it properly it's corny as f---

    Well it is an important song to his career. If people mean it like that I agree. If they mean important to them its kinda sad

    Here is how I see it :
    • Beat = 7/10 - pretty average, but not bad, meh
    • Delivery (flow) = 8.5/10 - fuses comfortably with the beat, great tandem
    • Hook = 6.5/10 - anthem, f---ing classic but I hate his singing, but gets extra points for being catchy and fun to sing when it pops up
    • Punchlines = 7/10 - here comes the tricky part to analyze, what makes a punchline good? I have to go with being them relatable to the listener as well as keeping a clear metaphor. Some of them were good as I felt they spoke straight to something I was going through, some were corny as f--- (wtf with the raising the bar line lol)
    • Bridge = 2/10 - ''And I just can't keep listening to Em, if he keeps doing them... backstreet boys vocaaaaals'' f---ing terrible.
    • Videoclip = 10/10 - Not important for the song itself, but the clip is amazing, great great cinematography and design.
    • OVERALL = 7/10 - great importance in Eminem's career as it served as a cushion from the Encore-Relapse popularity fall. For me it is somehow average if you look at it as an 'album filler track' but as a single for one of his most important albums... it is a good song.
