There's no such thing as a plain 'best' as...
Songs have different aims and reasons for existing.
It would be bizarre to say "I'm Shady" isn't as 'good' as "Stan" as, it's not pretending to be lmao. Eminem wasn't aiming for the same artistic goal(s) when he created that song. Some songs are purposely lyrical for their own sake, some are to impress / some to shock; some to amaze, some to disgust, some songs to get high to and some to release anger to...
So I mean, maybe if you said, what's his best... storytelling song, that would be a little easier and more logical to debate or even talk about in the right sense.
You could also maybe say like, what's his most artistically valid song, or, what's his most 'relatable' song. But, just in plain 'best', it's pretty much unanswerable.I suppose more broadly you're just asking for, a basic / personal list of our favourite Em songs though, these are some of mine...
