It's a song which if you let it in, it hits you in ways you might not expect, it simply makes you feel even if you're not into it or anything. I had no idea who was Aerosmith and really hardly even Eminem but first i got to know Eminem and without having a clue what the song is about i fell in love with it and couldn't help but try to "sing" (what must have sounded like babbling nonsense) along every time with great joy and emotions. I was a teenager, i couldn't speak or understand English, hardly a couple of bits and didn't have access to internet until quite later. Now, for clarifying on what he "did to the song" or not, think about this. So gladly that Joe Perry himself plays the guitar solo in the end specifically for this record, meaning they actually put their time and effort into it (as much as that may have been, it always counts and i'm glad they did) rather than just saying "yes" and moving on with it. From what i searched online (you can search and will find the same info by yourself), it turns out that Eminem *requested* from Aerosmith the permission to use a sample/s (keyword being "sample/s") on his song and they obviously agreed, and from what people say, gladly so.
