I think this song by eminem (like toy soldiers) is one of the highlights of the Encore album. It touches a sensitive subject thats highly controversial within the hip hop community. He doesn't dwell to much but the way he put his words together made the message hit home. It's a shame that Eminem finds the far/belch/sex jokes so insanely funny because when he goes in with the serious stuff, he's hardly reached by anyone. This song is one of the many examples of Eminems songs that critics like to ignore when attacking his credibitly. I predict a long and luster filled career for this man, he still surprises me everytime. Untapped potential at it's finest. From this song you can see what Dr Dre saw in the young Marshall Mathers all those years ago.
