Eminem's best song ever?

Postby the real slim shady » Jan 16th, '11, 22:41

I'm just wondering what people consider em's best songs, because my favourites are 'we as americans' 'difficult' and 'seduction' but i wanna know what you guys think are his best songs.

(there may be one or two i missed but those three are the ones i instantly think of)

I really don't know, I have so many favorites. I'll say Lose Yourself, though, despite how cliche it sounds of me to say that but it's his most important song. That song will forever be a huge part of hip hop

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

It's really tough to argue against Lose Yourself. It's a masterpiece.

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...

This topic's pointless because it's so subjective and depends on your mood, but I'd say Lose Yourself. It's perfect, and incredibly unique. Nothing like it.

Lose Yourself is always going to be up there, just because of how incredible that song is and how universal it is. Everyone can relate to that song. There are so many great songs, though, it's hard to choose just one. I also like When I'm Gone. That song is incredibly touching to me. I don't have an all time favorite though. It mostly just depends on my mood.

Rock Bottom
Still Dont Give A Fuck

Those two are his best songs, you just can't argue with that, they are just on some other level

If I had to choose just ONE song of Em's songs to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be one that still hasn't been mentioned yet: Sing For The Moment
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

Sing For The Moment definatly

I always used to say Lose Yourself because well everybody did but Sing for The Moment is really special.
