Eminem has a deeply visceral discography. He drives a fictional fan to murder and suicide on "Stan." He publicly blasts his mother's parenting skills on "Cleanin' Out My Closet." But no record of his is more disturbing than "Kim," in which he kills his daughter's mother (and her new boyfriend and stepson) of the same name. The sting of betrayal from his ex-wife leaves its mark all over the record—the chorus is an extended painful yelp—and even with the fact that none of this really happened in mind, the violence is still jarring.

I think Stan should've been on here instead of Kim.

"Kim" isn't depressing though.

[Amaranthine]

Yeah, having Kim on there makes zero sense. Difficult would win if they were counting songs that weren't officially released, but other than that...hm. I think I'd have to go with Deja Vu.

I don't find "Deja Vu" depressing... I find it really sharp, funny... enjoyable. I don't find "Rock Bottom" depressing either, but I'm a naturally depressive person, so I just like it lmao. But um, if I had to name an Em song, I'd say "Difficult", but that's just more sad than depressing.

[ShadyxEminem]

I'd say the overall theme and message is sort of depressing when it comes to "Kim".

His most depressing song is if I had. The feel of the song is just so nihilistic and hopeless

[Kill You]

I get bored when I listen to that song.

Me too, one of the few songs from the era I don't really like but everyone else does. Makes me wanna slit my wrists. Plus, he says "suck my dick without a condom on while I'm on the John." Why is no one facepalming or calling the whole song wack just because of that one line?

OT: I think his most depressing song is Difficult. I can't listen to it all the way through it's just far too depressing for me.

You Never Know from IT and Dance from Nas are the only song who made me shed a tear.

Why would people facepalm that line? "John" is a term some people use to call a toilet or bathroom. Or do you think the line just sounds awkward?
