    Can anyone explain what's so terrible about that sweden line? I mean it's lazy writing but don't see how it could ruin a song while so many other songs have dumb lines lol

    underrated team tbh

    was gonna say this as well. I love when I'm gone and GTC but I'm not sure I'd say GTC is better. I think I might end up listening to GTC before When I'm Gone if it came down to it, but I'm not sure.

    sweden line doesn't even matter. it's one line.

    I don't think so...

    Half of Recovery would be a better choice.

    Even "Beautiful Pain" with Sia from MMLP2.

    Or even "Kings Never Die", even though it's just another song about being an underdog.

    But yeah, "When I'm Gone" is flawless.

    The Sweden line never bothered me. it made perfect sense if you watch the video.

    When I'm Gone will always be the last real Eminem song in my eyes.

    I know you disagree but since 2005 i'd go

    Deja Vu
    No Apologies
    When I'm Gone

    No Apologies is like the only Eminem song I still listen to. If that third verse was on par with the first two it'd be hands down my favorite song from him.
