Lose Yourself Discussion

Postby Satire » Dec 12th, '09, 21:59

There aren't enough topics in this section, so I guess I'll break the ice :smoking: .

Claimed by many to be Eminem's best song. Do I believe this? Not really. But it perfectly captures the essence of the movie "8 Mile", and really shows the versatility as Eminem as a rapper. The whole song flows smooth together, is a cross-genre hit, just the 'right' amount of multis (As in people who don't usually listen to rap can still keep up with this song), has an incredible average flow, and was the first Rap song to win an Oscar, followed by Hustle & Flow's "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp".

I know how many of you people eat this fucking song up, so I'll just leave this here.

It's his most popular song, but not his absolute best.

It's definitely a great song but it isn't one of his best ones. I feel other songs more such as Stan. :y:

this is eminem's best song.


I agree. I feel the same way about The Way I Am, so I usually pick both of them as his best songs. :y:

Same. Both are amazing and some of his best, but 8 mile is just :worship:

lose yourself is definately a good song but in my opinion its one of his most overrated. i mean yeah its far from his worst song but at the same time its kind of far from his best song aswell.

Lose Yourself is a masterpiece, and saying that it is Eminem`s best song is not far from the truth. I would have to think hard which song is his best, but without thinking I would go with Lose Yourself.

The rhyming on this song is absolutely incredible.

The only Eminem song I'd never ever skip if I put my mp3 on random mode.
