Sometimes I wonder how people can actually enjoy songs that are so utterly linked to their times.
Because they are linked to their times. That song teleports me back to the best parts of high school, particularly my then girlfriend who was obsessed with Eminem.
Because it sounds good and the more times change, the more they stay the same.
Also, almost every song, every work of art is inextricably tied to their times. From the Bible to Shakespeare to Bach to Prince and Eminem. You can enjoy a work of art in any time, but you can't truly understand it without understanding the context.
And yeah, the first thought that came to mind when I read the title was eminem's without me. Truly, great minds think alike.
