Music, lyrics and passion make this Eminem song incredibly powerful. I’d say enjoy, but that wouldn’t fit the mood of Eminem’s Cleanin’ out my Closet.
In a later song Headlights (The Marshall Mathers LP 2) Eminem apologizes (kind of). Clearly Eminem’s childhood was extremely difficult. However, Eminem has gone through healing processes and sees his childhood in the same but a different light.
Eminem has the kind of music and lyrics that appeal to me. A lot of the time listening to him hurts. Even when I disagree with him I still find myself listening (yes even this 50 year old lady).
And I had thought Eminem was the opposite of anything I could appreciate. Thanks for the recommend.

I used to feel that way myself – until I actually listened to one of his lyrics. I know there have been demonstrations against him. Swearing seems to have been the biggest beef. Some of his songs are not my kind of thing. But there is no doubt he is able to convey societal problems.
