Word. I feel like that was his signature lead single. I'm basing it on lead singles of his solo albums. TRSS was during a time of his prime and the music captured the hype surrounding him at the time.

[NotoriousTDA]

My Name is fersure. That songs a classic. Still gets played to ths day. That cd is classic!

[OG Hack Wilson]

wtf where is the lead single "Just Don't Give a Fuck" from SSEP???


i can understand leaving off Infinite because it's singles probably never got printed

[R1ZE]

Lose Yourself is probably the only one of those that I like.

[MontrealCity's Most]

The first time i heard my name is i was ilke what the fuck is this lol but its tight

Realslim Shady was real cool, reminds me of the hole 99-2000 era of mtv, carson daily, limp bizkit, kid rock, korn, manson, Aguilera, spears and the show Fat Farm or wtv.

Wihtout me is a tight jam that bass line is off the hook

My first memory was My Name Is and the hype in my school cause he was seen as too rude for little kids, so everyone wanted to hear his albums of course.  Remember one boy bought SSLP and us all taking turns to listen to My Name IS on his walkmen. My best ememory of Em is when we were in a music lesson and the teacher was real pissed off. SOme boy got on the xylophone and started playing The Real SLim Shady and we all sang along lmao uhh good times back in primary school

Interesting thing about Eminem's four albums is that the first single really indicated the quality of the rest of the album.  Marshall Mathers LP was his best album (Dre calls it the closest thing to a perfect album he's ever done) and it had the best lead single, "Real Slim Shady".  Then Em's worst album came with the worst single, which was "Just Lose It" for the record Encore which was kind of his farewell to rap because he knew he just couldn't bring it like he used to, he'd lost his desire and best he could come up with was burping, farting, and making fun of Michael Jackson.

"Lose Yourself" may be the song that he is most remembered for decades from now.  That will be his lasting legacy, his greatest record of all time.

My personal favorite Em track was also on 8 Mile, the title track "8 Mile Road".

Lose Yourself; although other leadsingles are also brilliant in different ways

[MediumL]

Can't wait to hear that joint with Premo thats mean to be a street single...

[T-Dogg]

Definitely "Lose Yourself" out of those. "Real Slim Shady" is king of his pop tracks though.
