Greatest Eminem single.

Vote.

And if I didn't nominate your favorite, your taste sucks.

Fart · 12-17-2015, 01:47 AM

Poor list.

oats · 12-17-2015, 03:01 AM

I think it's hard to deny Lose Yourself as the greatest, unless you have a wonky way to measure greatness. Not my favorite, but it checks off all the boxes that constitute greatness.

edit: no Real Slim Shady, though? that might be his biggest hit

sral · 12-17-2015, 05:54 AM

lmao i voted for The Way I Am

prob not his best single as in production or sales or general commercialismability but fuck it

thats the one i'd actually listen to right now over the others

sing for the moment cool too

rest are ass imho

guilty conscience half cool, i fux with the original warped shit about voices in heads

Ghost1 · 12-17-2015, 06:42 AM

Voted rican in the polls.....obviously

But I'd say my name is was his most important.....(greatest is a tricky word)

Rap god was equally important IMHO and also maybe one of his most intricate pieces ever put together

Destroyer · 12-17-2015, 10:00 AM

lose yourself gets my vote

It was a lesser redux of "My Name Is." I couldn't imagine anyone arguing for it.

oats · 12-17-2015, 10:52 AM

Idk though, Real Slim Shady took his fame/popularity/sales to another level I feel. Those are pretty important components of great music imo.

Diode · 12-17-2015, 11:04 AM

The answer is obviously Stan, by the way.

Stan.

Inno · 12-17-2015, 12:26 PM

Also @Certain

Which verse do you think is his best.

I honestly think his best was on dead wrong.

Diode · 12-17-2015, 12:43 PM

best verse goes to renegade

Strikta · 12-17-2015, 01:00 PM

Dead Wrong w/ Biggie

That verse.

But it's Stan for song IMO.. nostalgia wins w/ that one.

Certain · 12-17-2015, 02:00 PM

I was torn on "Lose Yourself" vs. "Stan."

My favorite Eminem verse might be the second in "Brain Damage":

Quote:

Brain damage..
Way before my baby daughter Hailey
I was harassed daily by this fat kid named D'Angelo Bailey
An eighth grader who acted obnoxious, cause his father boxes
so everyday he'd shove me in the lockers
One day he came in the bathroom while I was pissin
And had me in the position to beat me into submission
He banged my head against the urinal til he broke my nose,
Soaked my clothes in blood, grabbed me and choked my throat
I tried to plead and tell him, "We shouldn't beef"
But he just wouldn't leave, he kept chokin me and I couldn't breathe
He looked at me and said, "You gonna die honkey!"
The principal walked in (What's going on in here?)
and started helpin him stomp me
I made them think they beat me to death
Holdin my breath for like five minutes before they finally left
Then I got up and ran to the janitor's storage booth
Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four inch screws
Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools
"This is for every time you took my orange juice,
or stole my seat in the lunchroom and drank my chocolate milk.
Every time you tipped my tray and it dropped and spilt.
I'm gettin you back bully! Now once and for good."
I cocked the broomstick back and swung hard as I could
and beat him over the head with it til I broke the wood
Knocked him down, stood on his chest with one foot..
.. Made it home, later that same day
Started reading a comic, and suddenly everything became gray
I couldn't even see what I was tryin to read
I went deaf, and my left ear started to bleed
My mother started screamin, "What are you on, drugs?!?
Look at you, you're gettin blood all over my rug!" (Sorry!)
She beat me over the head with the remote control
opened a hole, and my whole brain fell out of my skull
I picked it up and screamed, "Look bitch, what have you done?!?"
[M] "Oh my God, I'm sorry son"
[E] "Shut up you cunt!" I said, "Fuck it!"
Took it and stuck it back up in my head
then I sewed it shut and put a couple of screws in my neck

Other good options are "Renegade," "Patiently Waiting," "Forgot About Dre," the second verse of "As the World Turns," the first verse of "Marshall Mathers" and both verses of "Rock Bottom."

Strikta · 12-17-2015, 02:04 PM

Em a trip for that verse.

BROKE LESNAR · 12-17-2015, 03:08 PM

My favorite Eminem song would be "If I Had" from the Slim Shady EP. "My Name Is", "Stan", and "Lose Yourself" would be the singles.

My favorite verse would be nearly all of his underground stuff aside from the "Infinity EP", but his best verses are the ones that tell stories so I'll go with "97 Bonnie And Clyde", "Stan," and "I Remember."

ill nik-A · 12-17-2015, 04:09 PM

Voted all I am

Dope shit commercialized

Shit was well written

But so was Stan, guilty conscience and the 8 mile joint

My shit is till I collapse

Wise Wiggles · 12-17-2015, 05:23 PM

Forgot about dre, fav verse. Way I am/guilty con for nostalgia. But I heavily played his benzino disses and Mariah and all that shit. Dude got some uh scratch that buffalo bill is my shit, along with that I am having a relapse single..

Man how the hell did he manage to get more felony charges
He's already got life in jail, man what the hell is his problem?
Well to be honest, the smell of these chronic, leaves make me Hella demonic
They compelled me to kill this elderly man, and I get these panic attacks..
