Maybe... What do you dislike about it?
Uh...just about everything, to be honest. I can't stand that druggy voice, the random coin his daughter has, Sweden, walking up to Kim and kissing her and telling her he misses her...
I think the concept is cool-ish, but I can't help but almost automatically hate everything from 2004-07.
I feel like the druggy voice is what makes the song unique and different from all the other Eminem songs. For me, When I'm Gone has a special status. It's not better than other Eminem songs, it's not worse. It's When I'm Gone. Eminem introduced himself to me with When I'm Gone. And back then I didn't care about the rhymes, the technical ability, the producing, the flow and what not. I just liked and I still do. When I'm Gone is The Song for me.
