I've searched on the whole review section and didn't find anything on this song.

So what do y'all think of it??

It was on my top 10 Em songs until Going Through Changes dethroned it. Fantastic story-telling song; I learned so much from Marshall from this song along. Love the mellow beat and chorus.

Used to be one of my favorite Eminem songs. Now I think it's an alright song, not absolute shit, but not that amazing as I used to think. Haven't listened to it for a long time, now.

Hate it.

Horrible rhyming (rhyme-wise it has to be up there as one of his worst), boring flow, boring beat, corny chorus.

If I want to listen to an amazing, heartfelt tribute to his daughter I listen to Hailies Song.

One of the best songs he's ever made.

I don't give a fuck if the rhymes are below is usual standards, because it's all about the feeling in this track. Beautiful track in my opinion.

The only annoying thing about this one is his lazy drum programming. The piano is sweet and makes it all quite heartfelt.

It gets a lot of stick because of the slow delivery and simple rhyming but I don't mind it. It's a message to his girls so it would seem a little weird with a fast flow and crazy rhyme schemes. The same goes for the song Stan.

I wouldn't mind if he decides to include this one on a future Greatest hits album.

It was good at the time.. It's clear, Eminem is definitely a victim of his own success.. Song still is great to me though regardless. But I don't seem to be as picky as some.

I like how you can feel the raw emotion in it. And how he said just what he wanted to. Which I think took away from it lyrically. But not everything always has to be lyrically on point to be good.. To me.

I also take this about the same way as 'You're Never Over'. It's mainly a song for Em, himself. Not exactly the fans. It seems in his own mind he did what he felt needed to be done. And I think these are two examples of that.
