I'm still surprised that this song hasn't gotten more mixed reviews, like mine.
Oh, it has. Google and Youtube are filled with them. Not what I would call a safe or a pleasant song. And very controversial. A good portion of it was cut from the Grammy's - due to the rage filled language in the version they did. The music video is a less-explicit version.
But sitting in my cubical with only the words and melody: not the right context.
Not a song that I'd want to listen to at work. It's too emotionally charged and filled with negative emotions, grief, longing, rage, fear, pain. Rap isn't work place safe in any event nor meant for a work-place. I'm amazed people haven't complained - playing that song at work where others have to listen to it is inappropriate.
