Of course. Eminem was my favorite rapper back then.

Why? I see alot of people saying this, but no one ever offers an explanation.

I personally thought Slim Shady LP and the Marshall Mathers LP were garbage, I mean he displayed great skill with his lyricism, but his subject matter and production were terrible.

I didn't think the Slim Shady LP and Marshall Mathers LP were garbage, but I preferred the Eminem Show over both the CDs. His first two CDs just don't have much replay ability to me. They just sound so angry and violent that I only play them when I'm in a certain mood

That is one of the great things about Eminem is he is a succesful multi-deminsonal rapper. He can go with the "goofy" songs to the serious songs. Even in his "goofy" songs he still rhymes with a message (that may bounce around from topic to topic) and in his serious songs he can show his deeper side. It shoulds flexability and deminsions to Em. Most rappers can't break out of their boring same scheme, same sounding rhymes, and you're tourching Em for being able to hit all sides of rap.

Always loved 'Hoops insight on rap music.

It's sadly ironic how Proof was the character that was killed in the video Toy Soldiers.......rip Proof

I never bashed Em for being able to switch things up, I said songs he has done like "My Name Is", "The Real Slim Shady" etc. are stupid songs with no real point or reason, this being in context to people saying songs like "Mockingbird" and "When I'm Gone" are trash.

Great list, Red's verse on Off The Wall is pretty nice as well.

I also like any of his collaborations with Royce. Nuttin To Do was quite good, as was Bad vs. Evil.

I have a lot of Eminem songs that I find are classics, but to name a few of his best songs:

Run Rabbit Run
Hellbound
Rock Bottom
Criminal
Still Don't Give A Fuk
Just Dont Give A Fuk
Stan
The Way I Am (for a commercial single, this is an extraordinary track)

Eminem's Best Guest Verses

Bitch Please II (his verse is great IMO, even though it's a Dre song)
Forgot About Dre (again, his verse blows Dre's out of the water)
Renegade (murders Jay with his verse)
Patiently Waiting (murders 50)


His Smack That verse had to be the laziest verse I've ever heard from him in my life. You could tell it was one of those quickie verses he wrote and recorded. Didn't even seem like him and Akon recorded in the same room.

Eminem doesn't have that hunger anymore. I hope he can find it for his upcoming album, becuase when he's hungry, he is easily a top artist in the game.

The album coming up isn't his album. It's a "Shady Family" album so most of the album will consist of artists in the Shady camp. Eminem will probably appear on a few tracks. Apparently the album will have songs which Eminem and Dr. Dre think the public will like, not what they themselves think is good. Basically it's going to try to be a commerical album.

He's coming out with the "Re-Up" in Decemeber, which is the album you're talking about.

Then there are reports that he's coming out with a CD sometime next year, called "Re-Born".

I think he'll come out this time next year because 50 Cent has an album coming out in the summer. Hopefully he will make music that he himself thinks is good.
