    It'll be very difficult for any future rapper to ever come close to Ems incredible godlike ability to craft verses. It's not just natural talent, it's years upon years of exercising those 'muscles'. The ability to consistently slam home double, triple, and quadruple entendres and make music that almost always requires multiple listens to pick up and make connections that EACH add to the enjoyment of the song when you listen to it next. It's amazing.

    This song sent me over the edge to get clean. I was in a dark place, wanting to get clean but didn't know where to start. I was afraid of the sickness(me and Em had a similar pill problem). I remember sitting in my car leaving the gas station and this song came on, and I thought if he can, I can. Never looked back. Yeah, I wanted to die and the emotional part after the physical is harder but I just kept playing that song. "I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand"

    At the end of the third verse when he says:
    Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
    'Cause I'm raisin' the bar
    I actually take this is as a triple.
    1. He's picking up the liquor counter, thus picking up and "raising" the bar.
    2. He's "raising the bar", by setting a higher standard for himself
    3. Raise is a homophone for raze, which means to destroy. So he's also saying "Razing the bar", as taking that part of himself and destroying it completely.
    Great song, great reaction!

    I think this was when Em for the most part stopped with the blond hair (except for 8 mile). I was in the hospital after multi organ transplants when this came out. My nurses knew I liked rap and 1 of them bought me this cd and since I had a lot of trouble sleeping, the night shift nurses would hang out in my room and we'd listen to this CD and or my iPod.

    Bad Meets Evil - Fast Lane ft. Eminem, Royce Da 5'9
    Bad Meets Evil - Lighters ft. Bruno Mars

    The whole Relapse album is fire, but I think Em doesn't like the message behind most songs and also the accent he used to twist some pronunciation to make them fit in the rap. I'd say it's a must listen tho, don't shy away from it because of what people say, there's BARS on that album. Cheers!

    when eminem released this album i think he had jus got done with rehab not too long before , hence why the album was named recovery. and that’s what this song is about , his recovery and a letter to people who are fighting the same thing that he did , to let them know they aren’t alone

    The road to recovery is one of the hardest. Not only are you fighting your own demons, but you have 'friends' that try to drag you back down. Even with treatment maybe 10% start that road, and only 1% can stay clean the rest of your life. You never beat addiction, but you try to not give in to it. Those that say they have beat it are only fooling themselves. One wrong decision and you fall down again...

I love that you noted how much he’s grown and how incredible his progression is. My favorite albums are probably Slim Shady Lp and Recovery. I was listening to them the other day, and thinking about how much his songs/he had evolved. I was around 14 years old when I heard that first album, and am so grateful I’ve been able to witness his career. He’s a phenomenon.
