Eminem's best song
 
Hello guys, eminem is my favourite artist and I do think he has made a lot of great songs during his career.
So my preferite one is for sure Infinite, made when he actually was unknown, and in which is concentrated hiphop, ill lyrics and sick flow.
Then I'd say Rock Bottom. Great story behind, amazing contents and words that talk the truth, a lot of meaningful sentences.
Then I could say other stuff like stan, role model, no apologies, mockingbird and so on.
I do like him not only because of his skill, voice and ability with words, but also because he surfaced from the poverty where he was and now he has quite everything, he is where every single artist would be.
What do you think about it?
Tell me about your favourite songs by him.

Not his best song but I love working out to this song, love the beat:

Eminem - Cinderella Man


Not sure if I have a favorite track.

I always hated fleminem, and I always hated rap, well, what is referred to as rap. Back in the day it was referred to as rap, but now it's called hip-hop. Hip-hop is basically the equivalent of eighties glam-rock. I call hip-hop glam-rap. At least old-school rappers generally talked about something more socially relevant than the size of their dicks and how many bitches they've laid - I'd rather listen to NWA, Da Lench Mob, Public Enemy, Rage Against The Machine, Cypress Hill, System of a Down - those are some bands you can get some knowledge from.

To get the terminology straight: Rap is a term used to describe the specific type of vocal technique, hip-hop is used to describe the whole subculture and both terms are used to describe the musical genre as well. So there's that.

I haven't listened to an Eminem song for over ten years, so I have no idea what he's up to lately, but his songs were far from the bitches and cars lyrics you seem to dislike so much. Plus one doesn't have to like him, I don't think I'd have much fun listening to him nowadays, but he is certainly a very skilled rapper with a great flow and very good at writing humorous and complex lyrics.

I'm also pretty sure, although someone who listens to lyrics more closely might correct me, that some of the artists you mention as examples of good rap have enough mindless hedonistic lyrics. (And SOAD are just a weird choice for an example.)

He is skilled to some extent in what he does, but lately, he seems to be going back and forth - trying to do something new with the initial ability that gained him so much success in the first place. It actually sounds like he's trying too hard. It almost pains me to listen to the guy lately. He's intelligent, talented, innovative and imaginative. Sometime I just wish he would break away from the very thing that made him successful in the first place. There's nothing wrong with reinventing oneself.

I am big fan of Eminem. He is the one and only person who doesn't care the world that’s why he make the song lose your self.:hphones:

DwnWthVwls 07-08-2015 09:19 AM

I wish more musicians didn't care the world.
