None.

Rock Bottom... 10/10 :o
-
IT'S AFTERMATH AND AIN'T NOTHING AFTER THAT... LOSE YOURSELF AND RABBIT RUN ARE CLASSICS
-
Tough choice for me between "The Way I Am" and "Lose Yourself"
-
Out of that list it's got to be Stan. But that wasn't really a list of his best songs.

Yeah... those Encore tracks could've easily been replaced by more SSLP/MMLP tracks.

if i had to put any Encore tracks on a list like that i would put "Mosh" and "Rain Man" on it but really nothing on that album is considered among his best

Em's flow on The Way I Am is bananas...
I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
the most meanest MC on this -- on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
all this tension dispensin these sentences
Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently off of this chest
and I rest again peacefully (peacefully)..
but at least have the decency in you
to leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
in the streets when I'm eatin or feedin my daughter
to not come and speak to me (speak to me)..
I don't know you and no,
I don't owe you a mo-therfuck-in thing
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
if you tempt me my tank is on empty (is on empty)..
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I'm liftin you 10 feet (liftin you 10 feet).. in the air
I don't care who is there and who saw me destroy you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you (of all you)..
I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me
Chorus: Eminem
And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am
[Eminem]
Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
with all of this nonsense it's constant
And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content -
- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses"
And all of this controversy circles me
and it seems like the media immediately
points a finger at me (finger at me)..
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
when you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
with the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
and they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn).. and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty
havin this happenin (this happenin)..
then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
to burn and it's burnin and I have returned
Chorus
[Eminem]
I'm so sick and tired of bein admired
that I wish that I would just die or get fired
and dropped from my label and stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name is.."
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
to cop me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)..
to deal with these cocky caucasians who think
I'm some wigger who just tries to be black cause I talk
with an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep askin
the same fuckin questions (fuckin questions)..
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
'til I'm grabbin my hair and I'm tearin it out
cause they drivin me crazy (drivin me crazy).. I can't take it
I'm racin, I'm pacin, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for ev-ery fan that I get
But I can't take a SHIT, in the bathroom
without someone standin by it
No I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole I'm glad
-
never really was a big eminem fan but i've always loved the song Stan.
-
his song Fack gave me nightmares for years...
-
1 - Rock Bottom
2 - The Way I Am
3 - Stan
p.s. lmao at all these threads, give it a break man
-
None.
-
I chose The way I am.
My favorite Eminem songs are
1. Who knew?
2. Rain Man
3. Lose Yourself
-
He used to spit his sickest verses on Guest appearances... Renegade, Hellbound, Don't approach me, Dead wrong, Nuttin to do, Patiently waitin, What the beat, If I get locked up etc etc, all bananas...
As for a whole song, it's still hard to limit it to one track... cant do it son.

seriously though, dude is a heavy contender for the GOAT if you ask me

ehh...really?
not at all, hes a decent lyricist but what has he got beyond his mom, his daughter, and the industry to rap about? He's no longer relevant.

if topic matter is the grounds on which the GOAT will be judged than Bob Dylan squashes all rappers ever period point blank. Rappers don't have shit on any other kind of writer when it comes to topics.
eminem is skill incarnate, especially when he wants to be.

now youre blending genres and thats unfair.
I personally feel skill and GOAT status should be measured on lyrical ability, relevance, respect, subject matter, longevity together.

that said, the cats I feel can contend are
D.O.C.
Eminem
Ice Cube
2pac
Biggie(at least as topically stagnant as eminem, repetitive as eminem, commercial as eminem,...in other words, there's almost no flaw than eminem has that biggie doesn't or that biggie doesn't have an equivalent flaw to. he doesn't get 1/17th as deep as Pac but he RIPS shit, don't you think Big deserves a stab at the title at least?)
Nas
Rakim

i like BIG more than Pac but its personal opinion, I agree with you wholeheartedly there. Its interesting to think where he would have gonne if he lived much longer.
-
Eminem or KRS-One = GOAT... i cant decide :-X
-
KRS is tight but I've never heard a verse of his that touches the best verses of the list I just made, I haven't heard alooot of KRS though.
I think Biggie would have gone pop, in the same way snoop has.

The Way I Am is what really got me into Eminem at all
-
lmao at all these threads, give it a break man
these threads are a pointless waste of time, but so is everything else on here. I like em.
Outta those you listed, i might have to go with Role Model
-
i also voted role model.

-
The way I am, really captured his situation at the time

I dig Em's music. I'm a sucker for lyricism so Em is definitely up there. Judging GOAT is subjective so I don't even try to compile a list. It's all a matter of perception.
Don't know if any of you have seen this or not, but here's a video clip of Rakim and his thoughts on Eminem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTfaQpBZWZk
