10 Eminem Lyrics About Love That Show The Softer Side Of Slim Shady And Will Literally Melt Your Heart
Occasionally Slim Shady will show his soft side - and when he does, it’s often all too relatable.
When rap legend Eminem sings about the opposite sex, it normally explains how much he hates his mum or his ex-wife.
Failing that, it might be about the number of groupies he’s slept with.
Yet, occasionally Slim Shady will show his soft side – and when he does, it’s often all too relatable.
Here are ten examples of when Eminem has melted our hearts with lyrics about love and romance.
