Songs that people (the general public) will remember from Eminem obviously are Stan, Lose Yourself, probably Not Afraid. That's all really. They all mark an important turn in Eminem's career, Stan marked his status as blowing up superstar, Lose Yourself is his biggest hit & it's from his movie and declared he's a serious artist, Not Afraid marked his "comeback".
This spark an interesting argument, I was thinking the other day what song can Eminem still perform when he's 50 and a large part of his discography are inappropriated, especially songs from his earlier years.
He could always preface his performances of My Name Is, TRSS, WM with a "let's go way back in time" kind of thing. I think Cleaning Out My Closet would be the most likely song to be cut from his setlists. And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be performing Crack a Bottle anymore.
I do think he could pull off songs like Kill You - just 'cause you're 50 doesn't mean you can't still be a murderer.
But yeah, the true Stadium Rockers are Lose Yourself, Stan, Not Afraid, Sing For the Moment, Til I Collapse, and The Way I Am (especially the way he starts it with the chorus now).
And maybe LTWYL.
you do know that his voice gonna sound very deep when he's 50 right? and Eminem rapping songs like my name is, trss.. when he's old gonna look painful to watch really. The songs that will be appropriate for Em to perform when he's old I can think of are Stan, LY, SFTM, TIC, Deja Vu, T2M, GTC, NA, 25TL, CM, YNO (there are other serious songs I probably don't remember now though)
