Wherein Marshall Mathers takes a break from gorging himself on prescription medication to drop another bit of twisted science for all the fucked-up children of the world. The violin-laden ‘When I’m Gone’ finds Em torn between fans, family, and tearing shreds off himself, culminating in a showdown with daughter Hailie and passenger jets plummeting from the sky.
