Am I the only one that never liked "Beautiful"

[HairJordan23]

I remember him talking about the writing process. He was in rehab. It was clear he got the idea for it from that poem

And I always thought it reminded me of that Christina Aguilera song. It was kinda corny to me.

[Kez]

Wow i never knew about that poem. Damn..

[HairJordan23]

Wow i never knew about that poem. Damn..

Where were u? I saw it on a few sites last yr.

He had writer's block and was in rehab when he said he wrote it. So this was like the beginning and Stay Wide Awake was towards the end of the relapse making process.

[*MIRANDA*]

never really liked it.. i hated the singing

[Berry]

It seems tame now.

He's reached a whole new level of depressing intensity.

[goblue418]

damn. That poem kinda kills the song a little

You don't think rappers read poems and books to help them write?

Yeah, stay wide awake is a far better poem.

Em bit that poem so hard we didn't know about it.

No wonder he kept talking about tooth filling, caps, crowns, etc. after Relapse + Beautiful.

I don't get it.

[lakaisx]

Something about Beautiful never clicked for me, like when i listen to a song i like, it gives me this feeling, and i never got it with beautfiul

[Emadyville]

So I was reading the NY TImes interview and found this

Compared with other rappers, you are often praised for your complex rhyme schemes. Do you read poetry?
I don’t think I’ve ever read poetry, ever. I’m not really book-smart.

Maybe he doesn't remember what he read to trigger it. Entirely possible if he was on a lot of drugs.

It says he wrote the 1st verse in rehab. The 1st verse is the one that resembles the poem. The other verses seem more original.

Actually, it was Daniel Richards who bit those lines from Eminem. He's not a big name poet...he's some amateur who writes (or plagiarizes, apparently) poetry on the internet for a hobby.

Take a look at this; he has the entire chorus of Deja Vu written down there as well:

So either Daniel Richards just so happens to use multis in his poetry, and Eminem was so desperate for lyrics that he went on the internet and stole some lines from some average Joe from poemhunter.com...or Richards listened to Relapse and decided to use some of the lines from it in his assortment of poems.

I'm runnin with the ladder like a fireman...
