Favourite Eminem song?

    I am a big eminem fan, have been for some time and its well known among the people I hang around with that I listen to his stuff a _lot_. I was out the other night and a friend asked me what my favourite song of his is, but when I opened my mouth to reply I came up blank... I really couldn't answer her and it got me to thinking, what IS my favourite song? There are so many that I really like but I think if it came down to it my 3 that stand out would have to be

    1. Role Model
    2. Criminal
    3. Mockingbird

    All pretty old school but don't get me wrong I like 'shake that' and 'lose yourself' as much as the next person. Anyone else with an opinion on this?

    old school, eminen isn't old school, run dmc, public enemy, pete rock & cl smooth thats old school. c'mon man, now back to the topic, eminem's best track "any man" it was on the first rawkus soundbombing mixtape i think, class tune

    Old school Eminem I'm assuming.

    Don't have a favourite track myself, but prefer the stuff off Slim Shady LP and Marshall Mathers LP to his later stuff.

    Mockingbird isnt old school at all!!!and is the only above sh*t song on Encore. Sorry if im wrong but u seem like one of these people who only like Em for the sake of it(when u put Shake That and Lose Yourself in the same category).
    Favourite Songs- Lose Yourself, Role Model, Rock Bottom, Any Man, Still Dont give a F*ck, Sing For The Moment

    Dont want too sound too intentionally backpackery but the b-side of the d12 single **** on you has the class Everlast diss "I remember" he absolutely kills him only one verse but so vicious. That's Classic Eminem! Cop dat ish!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,115 ✭✭✭spacecoyote


    He's got a nice verse on "The Anthem" & his first two albums have some decent tracks. But he hasn't released a decent track since then imo.

    and neither is any other eminem track, :mad: don't know how i forgot to mention this in my previous post but em's verse on renegade (jay z - the blueprint) is without doubt his best guest appearance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,788 ✭✭✭eljono


    Drug Ballad or Superman. Lately I've been listening to Superman a lot, I think that is the best produced of his songs.
    Criminal deserves a mention too though.

    i like dat one were he raps in it....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    That 'The Anthem' verse was pretty nice,as was his Jay-Z colab on Blueprint.As was that track where he is falling off a skyscraper.Other then that his stuff is either repetitive or corny.And his beats are...:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 382 ✭✭Trip Hazard


    Haven't listened to Eminem in ages, but had to reply to this tread because there was a time when there was no other Hip hop in my life just Eminem, I'm talking When Silm Shady lp was first released and only about two people actually knew who he was, and You would only ever see an Emimen Video every two weeks on Yo! on a Wed night at Midnight, ah the early Hip hop days, (Snaps out if nostalgia buzz)

    Anyway

    About 80 persent of the stuff on The slim shaddy album, I also love My dads gone crazy, some of the verses on that song are just genius. Really there are so many good ones. Girls, the hidden track on D12 - Devils night is amazing, a DJ lethal dis, class stuff.

    Criminal and Superman are coming off my tongue now...but there are so many quality songs. Soldier is another one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,206 ✭✭✭gustavo


    Just though of another few i like Who Knew , Saying goodbye to hollywood , Business , Renagade not technically his but it might as well be


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭Doomspell

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 173 ✭✭imprezza


    So many classics its hard to choose but here goes.
    Lose yourself, Stan, Cleaning out my closet, America, my name is, the real slim shady.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,115 ✭✭✭spacecoyote


    had a relisten to slim shady lp yesterday & i must say it really hasn't held up over time at all, really was very poor i must say!!! Marshall mathers definitely holds up better. Finally thought of a full song of his i like, rather than just a verse on a track, its called rock bottom, and its more so for the beat & production than for anything slim does on it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,564 ✭✭✭weemcd


    between superman and guilty concience for me. but concience is nothing without dre

    'What's the difference' or 'Role model'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 446 ✭✭phenomenon


    Maybe "white america" or "lose yourself". I find that his more serious songs are his best. "Shake that ass" was fcuking hilarious though, especially the video! I still get all hyped up when they play it in the club!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Haven't listened to Eminem since that joke of a concert. Used to be either Renegade or Criminal though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77

    Really gets stucks into Everlast in that one!
