Yeah, same for me. I really like Beautiful, and at first it was my favorite Relapse track, but I changed my mind after REALLY listening to Relapse, ya know...I've always liked the third verse a lot, it's two verses of him feeling sorry for himself, then the third verse he adds a lot of hope. I don't agree with EmBase about one thing, and that's that Beautiful didn't fit on Relapse. It actually did, it balanced the album out extremely well, and besides...it's a pretty good song, I don't know a lot of people who don't like that song except for the ones who don't like him bitching
I hope Difficult doesn't contain the same amount of bitching. I'm actually hoping for it to kinda be like a story-telling track, tbh

“One of the only reasons that I put that track on there is that I feel like it’s the best song out of that batch that I did when I wasn’t sober. At the time I felt like, ‘This is it for me.’ I wrote the first verse and a half in rehab, and when I came out, I finished it. It was the only song that marks that period without bringing me back to that place. Every other track not only didn’t fit with the album, but when I listened to it, it would bring up bad memories.”
This is the only track on Relapse that Eminem produced himself.
“It’s the only one I could actually listen to and feel OK about. It brings me back to a time when I was really depressed and down, but at the same time it reminds me of what that space is like and what never to go back to. There is a lot of honesty in that song that I wouldn’t want to just throw away. I started writing the first verse and half of the second when I was in rehab going through detox. I didn’t have a beat in my head or anything like that… I wrote the verse and just knew I wanted it to be a bounce-style, I guess. I got that first bit out and finished it when I got out of rehab, when I relapsed right back into taking pills. If you listen to that song and how it starts off, I’m just so f—king depressed.”
