Difficult should have been re-recorded, though. A fucked up Em is not really a pretty sight. I LOVE the song, don't get me wrong, but it's really sad to see Em THIS broken on a song

Wow amazingly great. I wonder if there's a finished version out there. Maybe he never finished it and that's why it didn't ever make an album cut. Difficult >>>>>>>>>>>>> You're Never Over

This IS the final version. It wouldn't be as awesome with a hook.

Agreed, You're Never over is horrible, the beat and the hook were just atrocious, would have much rather heard a finished version of this

That's partly why it's so fucking dope. It's his real emotions.

Does anyone know what year this was recorded?

No idea, but I'd guess '06.

The song is simply amazing, but not im not gonna have it on repeat, its too sad

[cocaine2011]

2006 is too new, he said he couldn't even write songs or get out of bed for a few years because he was too depressed


I'm guessing 2007, definitely before 2008. because Eminem mentioned paintballing in his book

Yeah, I know...I mean the "casket" line is heartbreaking and hearing Em THIS sad kinda doesn't seem real, I've NEVER heard this side of Em. I really like it, though, like I said, but a sober Em would have sounded much better, to me at least

The second verse on YNO is one of the best ones on the album. The hook was pretty bad but it was supposed to sound like that, Em could've easily got someone else to do it but he wanted to do it himself. Just like this song, it wouldn't be the same hearing Em happily rapping the lyrics. YNO > Difficult in terms of lyrics, it's just that Difficult is really emotional.

I wish I knew what year or day this was recorded.

Doesn't really matter when it was recorded. We know the approximate time.

[xxTrigger1989xx]

I wish I knew what year or day this was recorded.

Shortly after Proof's death, most likely. I really have a feeling this is either 2006 or early 2007

I dunno man, its hard for a chorus to straight kill a song for me, but the chorus on YNO did it, I havent been able to sit through that song since the first week I had the CD, it was like a really bad karoake singer or summin, like one of those American Idol outtakes that makes you cringe
