Lose Yourself (8 Mile Soundtrack)
Well written, Has a Message, great sample. Fantastic song.
Greatest of all time.. The rhythm the writing the beat it just says it all the way he starts slow then turns it up like a bomb it's just something only marshall mathers can do all props to the best rapper there is or ever was or ever will be EMINEM!
This song blows my mind the lyrics are great it's catchy the beat goes perfectly with the song this is no doubt the best song I have ever heard
you Eminem you are the best rapper that ever lived

2Not Afraid (Recovery)
Super cool songs... Always gives me inspiration when I'm down!
The cool song for the fans who love eminem and rap songs see this song official video a cool song with the cool video. Don't really understand why Lose Yourself is on top because it's nothing compared to Not Afraid. This song is really inspiring. At one point in my life I liked lose yourself better. Now that Not Afraid came out it tells you that you can overcome anything. This song is the best song by Eminem, and one of the best of all time. Super cool songs... Always give me inspiration
When I hear this song all my fears get destroyed... From then I AM NOT AFRAID. TO TAKE A STAND EVERYBODY COME TAKE MY HAND WE'LL WALK THIS ROAD TOGETHER THROUGH THE STORM WHATEVER WEATHER COLD OR WARM LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT ALONE HOLLA IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE BEEN DOWN THE SAME ROAD!

3Stan (The Marshall Mathers LP)
Song tells a story, once again great lyrics from the greatest rapper ever. Its awesome how the beat compliments the narrative.
So sad for the fan
"its good to be the star but bad to be a fan" true
Eminem rocks he is the best of all
He is cool his songs are the best his lyrics are awesome
He feel everything
He is the best
It's just awesome, start with a lovely song "thank you" as it's base, AND the story line of song is touching..

4When I'm Gone (Curtain Call)
How is love the way you lie before this?! Get real people where else could you hear rap like his?!
Raw emotion. It is crazy how much this song makes me cry. I used to hate rap and this song made me love Eminem.
this song is the best song ever for me between all of eminem songs. this song is a very meaningful song for me. seriously I like it so much. eminem is one of the best rapper ever in the world.

5Beautiful (Relapse)
Awesome... The meaning is very good. Inspirational. Should be at least TOP 3... Eminem is yet the Best Rapper of the World.
Best song of Eminem by a distance.. it is made superbly... I love this song... Vote this to make it the number one...
This is it man... I swear

Who the hell are you huh? This is who you should be... It is beautiful

6'Till I Collapse (The Eminem Show)
This song pumps me up so much! It eats Not Afraid alive! This song is one of the best pump up songs of all time (if not the best)
You know those songs that you have to listen to multiple times to get the full effect of it. I had this song on repeat for 7 hours
The energy eminem displays in this song is amazing - whenever I hear it it makes me wanna hear it once again. Without a doubt undoubtedly one of the best rap songs ever.

7Love The Way You Lie (Recovery)
One of the BEST, the 3rd stanza just takes your emotions to a whole new level
Very emotional and strong song about a difficult relationship.

"Maybe this is what happens when a tornado meets a volcano... "

The love, pain, anger, and strong emotions of this song makes it my favourite. (Rihanna also does a good job. )
It's a brilliant song. The Beats, lyrics, tempo everything is so flawless. The Best rapper did an excellent job once again

8Sing for the Moment (The Eminem Show)
This song should be on #1.
If you've ever read the lyrics then you know its true.
Quote: "It's all political, if my music is literal and I'm a criminal,
How the f*** can I raise a little girl? "
The quality of the lyrics is just as good in the beginning as in the end.
Its just a great artist and I'm glad that he's still making good music.
this song should be on 2 in my opinion :: after lose yourself this is the next awesome track ::
Best song ever, He is the best rapper in the world and needs people to see that. They all want to talk about him but really they don't no anything. They didn't have to go through what he did. Haters have never been in Marshalls shoes to know that his music is crap (which its not) cause really his just rapping about his life and if you think his music is bad then if only you had to live the life he did I would laugh in your face because you wouldn't be able to live one day there.

9Mockingbird (Encore)
Daddy's Gonna Buy You a Mockingbird... Man Heard this song like awesome times.. Never gonna forget a single word of it... On My List.. Its number 1. Love You Eminem.. Always have, always will!
man, I herd this song and was like love it! its like heart touching, made me think of my dad.
Pure passion and emotion, this is a serious song on a unserious album and is a welcome change from the standard hoes, drugs and money rap topics.

10The Real Slim Shady (The Marshall Mathers LP)
So good! It will demolish Not Afraid and Love The Way You Lie this is what Eminem is about not the pop you hear today!
This song should be in number one position. It's hilarious. This one made him known to the world, remember?.
The greatest and funniest eminem song of all time! I don't know how Eminem is so funny, even in 8 Mile he is hilarious!

The Contenders

11The Way I Am (The Marshall Mathers LP)
This is song is just so emotionally raw. This album is by far his best. Don't know why the singles from his new album are in top 10. This is pure Eminem at his greatest. No featured singers like Rhianna or Lil Wayne, to interrupt the power this song depicts.
How is this song behind love the way you lie?! That makes no sense at all. True Em fans know that this song deserves to be in the top 3 at least.
C'mon man this should be at least included in the top ten!

12Space Bound (Recovery)
In my opinion, better than Love the Way You Lie. Definitely shows that Em is still the king. I can relate to this song so much.
Man. This song is my favourite of all time. So much emotion. You could easily hear em's heartbeat.
Really touching song! Should be listed in the top TEN! Can't stop listening to it. Vote GUYS

13No Love (Recovery)
One of the best Em verses ever. The complexity and speed... wow. He kills Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne gradually speeds up, and eminem just blasts the nitro!
HOW COME IT'S NOT in the top 10! Great song.. Great lyrics.. Simply epic!

14Cleanin' Out My Closet (The Eminem Show)
such a good meaning and it's so deep... I don't like his new album as much as his old ones but I do like beautiful

LYmetal

It is a great song. Expresses Eminem's enraging past.
So good that it should at least be in the top 10.
The beats and the tune of it especially at the end of each stanza is awesome!
Love you Eminem...
The sheer lyrics, voice and raw power that is produced all throughout the song are just wicked! This is basically the most detailed six minute life story you will ever get in your life, that's for thirty nine years of Eminem's life anyway. The video to this song also makes a big statement and slightly underrated and just needs a bit more people to realize how great this song is.

15Like Toy Soldiers (Encore)
Best most meaningful song I have heard. Brilliant rapping and beats his new stuff by miles
Absolutely incredible the chorus ads so much more to the song and its just so much deeper than most songs as he shares his frustration toward Ja Rule and it also has the best beat out of any eminem song. Straight across the best eminem song!
What an amazing song. His lyrics are so good and actually tell a story. This one is absolutely amazing.

16Without Me (The Eminem Show)
Lyrics are just amazing and music video is great. It's just classic shady having fun!
Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me, and we need a little controversy cause it feels so empty without me.

The Most awesome Eminem song CONTROVERSY
I love the rythmn. so awesome. I've never heard song with that kind of singing to it. I never knew it came from eminem

17I Need a Doctor (Detox)
Skylar grey's part is great and dre in the end make it a song to remember
One of the few rap songs that actually conveys a good message--a song about a friendship. Eminem's verses are heartwarming and Dre's verse is just absolutely bad ass.
This song was so great. I like eminem sing his fast rap. With skylar grey sweet voice, and dr dre sing his rap.

18My Name Is (The Slim Shady LP)
Wow how is this not in the top 10!
Awesome lyrics that'll make you laugh and that'll get stuck in your head constantly one of his best deserves better then this ranking...
Can't believe this song is so low, it should right up with Lose Yourself!
Its an awesome song with awesome lyrics (you wont stop laughing) it must be in top 10 if not in top 5..
Its a very different eminem song and you must listen it (at least for the lyrics)
A way better song than this and deserves a better ranking (absolutely didn't expect this rank in the TOP10)
So a must listen song for all eminem lovers..

19Rock Bottom (The Slim Shady LP)
Most underrated eminem song. The first time you hear it seems a little boring but after a bit its like.. Wow

This song's going up now... It has to man. Just has to, most underrated eminem song ever. Just listen to it if you haven't and you'll get the point like rock bottom.

20Superman (The Eminem Show)
why is this so low?! Nothing from Recovery should be above this!
I have listened to this song for a 1000 times at least and this song's lyrics make me go so crazy and sick and forget about my girlfriend and all the pain I have been through.
This song is so good. Definitely my favorite Em song. Should be rated higher.

21Fast Lane (Hell: The Sequel)
This song from Bad Meets Evil's new album is amazing and the rap from Eminem is just unbeatable!
What the hell! This song is not in top 10. This is such a cool song with awesome beats. EMINEM just nail every part of his. And the its video is way to cool. Gr8t animation and really we should live in fast lane
God the rap in this is so fast! The video rules, the lyrics are great, the beat is INSANE, and eminem 59 totally rock it! Better than lighters anyday, and just so catchy. Listen to I'm On Everything too

238 Mile (8 Mile Soundtrack)
Complex lyrics + simple music = fabulous song!
please consider what just wrote
Simple music just like stated. It makes this my number one Eminem-drug, shaking my head back and forth whole night. This is cocaine!
This song is pure awesomeness and I think that Eminem can greatly express what he feels inside, this song is for proof. It's more than amazing, that's my opinion.

24Renegade (Curtain Call)
"See I'm a poet to some/A regular/ Modern day Shakespeare/ Jesus Christ the
King of these Latter Day Saints here/ To shatter the picture In which of that As they paint me/ As a monger of hate and/ Satan a scatter-brained atheist/ But that ain't the case/ See it's a matter of taste.. "
This is probably one of the greatest Rap Collaborations ever! Eminem and Jay - Z, a timeless classic!
How can anyone forget this masterpiece. This song is by the greatest collaboration ever Eminem and Royce the 5'9. Never get bored with this song. Amazing flow and awesome hook... All Eminem fans must listen it...
Great song. 2 rap legends collaborating

26Just Lose It (Encore)
This song shows how funny eminem can be. He is truly the best rapper ever. JUST LOSE IT! SHADY IS BACK SO GET READY!
Good parody of over-the-top pop and hip hop in general. I don't particularly like Eminem but I respect that he can laugh at himself a little.
This is the best
Listen to sample

27We Made You (Relapse)
The best song on this list by far...

Celestius

When you walked through the door
It was clear to me (clear to me)
You’re the one they adore, who they came to see (who they came to see)
You’re a … rock star (baby)
Everybody wants you (everybody wants you)
Player… Who could really blame you (who could really blame you)
We're the ones who made you

A great rap song with areally funny video clip with Dr. Dre in it. I'm just amazed by Eminem's rapin' skills. He's the best raper of all times!
Listen to sample

28Marshall Mathers (The Marshall Mathers LP)
Should be at least top10. Much better than not Afraid and love the way you lie. Tells the story of what happened after he became famous. Must listen to song
Underrated, one of his best songs, w/ witty remarks too. Should be at least top 15
One of the greatest songs ever made! A definite top ten contender

Really? 47th? Wow people listen to a good eminem song this is terribly low why doesn't anybody actually listen to a good number of eminem songs before they vote on this messed up list?!?!

30Mosh (Encore)

amazing song... this song is actually a "pump up" song for me. This brings goosebumps to my skin. I understand where he is coming from, and I can understand his feelings in this song

What the heck!? This should be in the top 15. This = Eminem at his best, the lyrics are amazing. His new songs are crap compared to this. Vote this.

Should be on the list. Too many crap new songs are in high places. His older music was better.

LMAO! This isn't on the list? There are no real Eminem fans left, just people following Pop music which happened to run into his latest album, which is Pop. THIS is Eminem, not the new crap.

38No Apologies (Eminem Presents the Re-Up)

This is lyricism at it's highest potential with great meaning. Very underrated. It's definitely up there with Lose yourself, Stan, Sing For The Moment, Rock Bottom, The Way I Am, Cleaning Out My Closet. Come on lets get this right people!

I love all of his songs, but every time I listen to this.. I know it's my favorite song! He is my definition of lyrical genius!

this song is the greatest song that has ever been made, this was when em was in his prime not saying that he still isn't a good rapper but this is ill

3925 To Life (Recovery)
Shows great emotion between em and the business as a conflicting relation through some of his best lyrics which make it a truly great song
One of eminem's best songs. Great verses and shows a lot of emotion behind it, he doesn't just rap about money, girls, and drugs, he raps on a deeper level, really gets you thinking.
it's a wonderful song the instruments rhyme perfectly with eminem and the co-vocalist has a great talent. PLUS THE WONDERFUL LYRICS. That's all crap who is the singer at the beginning of the song

40Guilty Conscience (The Slim Shady LP)
I could not believe myself when I saw this song so far down it should be in the top 5 for sure. Both dr dre and eminem do great.
This is the best song ever! I love how Dr. Dre is like the angel conscience, and Slim is the devil conscience! It's great how they tried to outdo each other. Great!
This is supposed to be way higher!
Guilty conscience is like the best collaboration of slim and dre.
I love the way the song tells the stories of 3 men, and how their counterparting consciences come into being. I especially like the last stanza.
This song is just to awesome to be at 47!

44Lighters (Hell: The Sequel)
It's a brilliant and fantastic song, amazing rap, catchy music, so to be honest, it's a real masterpiece. Thank you Eminem!
Lighters, SIMPLY THE BEST SONG THAT EMINEM HAS EVER SANG AFTER Lose Your Self
IT JUST TAKES YOU ONE LISTEN TO THE SONG AND YOU'LL FALL FOR IT.
I JUST DO NOT KNOW IS LIGHTERS DOING ON THE 26th PLACE! IT REALLY DESERVES TO BE THE 2nd or 3rd.
EMINEM'S RAP, ALONG WITH THE INSTRUMENTS PLAYING IN THE SONG TAKES TO ANOTHER WORLD AND GIVES YOU THE STRENGTH TO DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING
MAYBE ROYCA 59 WASN'T THAT GREAT IN IT BUT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT IT
SO LET'S ALL TAKE LIGHTERS TO WHERE IT DESERVES TO BE
AND NOW AFTER I'VE SAID THAT, I'M RELIEVED TO EXPRESS HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT
Great song! Especially the mix of bruno mars and DETROIT RAPPERS AND ALSO CHECK OUT LOUD NOISES

53Kim (The Marshall Mathers LP)
This may not be eminem's best song. But you can hear his emotion being poured out. It should really be much higher than 29.
Best Song Ever made. The only reason it isn't higher is because of these punks who started liking eminem at relapse.

Amazing verse from 2:13. Stunning tribute to Proof. "For you I'm gonna write the sickest rhyme of my life, so sick it'll blow up the mic... " Very underrated in my opinion.
Eminem you mean everything to me, your the best man n I m your biggest fan ever... That's all I wanna say right now but one day you'll know me n you realize that day I m more crazier then stan P.S...
This is the best eminem song, well at least top ten it's not popular at all but is very deep and eminem rap very fast in this song. You're never over is about eminems friend who died.

I can't believe that this song isn't in the top few. This song is amazing. It's the good old violent Slim Shady. True Eminem fans will love this. It's related to Marshall's life, plus additional sense of humor in the song, and then Bizzare making the song a little more crude.

Great beat and rhythm. Should definitely be in the top 20 at least.
Good song. You get a vibe that you get from no other song by him
I love the whole album though but this song which I want to point out should come up at least to 25th position... Please vote it up... Thanks :)

67Criminal (The Marshal Mathers LP)

Should be in the top 5 at least same with forgot about dre. It's better than anything from recovery, just listen to the hilarious lyrics and his awesome flow. Listen to some real Eminem songs before you vote on some piece you heard on the pop charts

Great song should be around 14 th, better than without me in my opinion and I've loved em from the start

One of his greatest songs ever! This song should definitely be in the top five! Nobody listens to his old stuff anymore. That is when he poured out all he had in the rap game.

68Infinite (Infinite)
This and any man are probably Em's best songs;
Its sad this is so far down the list, Em's music was so much better then than it is now
This album put eminem on the map and showed he had the potential to be the artist he is today.
No one here has ever heard this song, the proof is that it is not on top, THIS IS REAL HIP HOP, the rest just don't has the lyrics, or a true hip hop beat

69Cocaine

70Brain Damage (The Slim Shady LP)

It's hilarious

this parts the best lyrics be eminem not me
Something told me, "Try to fake a stomach ache it works"
I screamed, "Ow! My appendix feels like they could burst!
Teacher, teacher, quick I need a naked nurse! "
[N] "What's the matter? "
[E] "I don't know, my leg, it hurts! "
[N] "Leg?!? I thought you said it was your tummy?!? "
[E] "Oh, I mean it is, but I also got a bum knee! "
[N] "Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over.
And just for that stunt, you're gonna get some extra homework. "
[E] "But don't you wanna give me after school detention? "
[N] "Nah, that bully wants to beat your ass and I'ma let him. "

Best joke ever

Only voted because its one of his bests (Not his best) but too low!

One of Eminem's greatest songs! Why this isn't even in his top 135 songs I do not know! He shows great emotion in this song about how he got bullied as a kid, it must be hard for little Em! This is an amazing song! :-)

71Same Song & Dance (Relapse)

Great song! People may think its a dance song but really is a dark song, which makes it so great. People start thinking its a calm and relaxing song but really is creepy and scary.

72Square Dance (The Eminem Show)

Come on, this song actually has meaning, it should be in the top 20 for sure.

Really! This song is easily one of his best, with much deeper meaning than a lot of other songs, with the 3rd verse being one of the best of all time. Unfortunately it just never got super popular.

By far one of his best songs, It's lyrically one of his best and has a meaning. Should be higher than this at least top 20, the way his words flow it's almost orgasmic!

74Welcome 2 Hell (Hell: The Sequel)
Come on how the hell did yall forget this!
This one is just too awesome...!
amazing rap... One of eminem's best...!
it should be in top 20...

75Yellow Brick Road (Encore)
Yellow Brick Road should be higher it is one of the best songs he ever did
The single from Encore that's not. This is a very inspirational song. If you listen to it over and over, it gets better and better, and you will be hooked with the awesome beat. Should definitely be at least #10.

76Forever Listen to sample

77Seduction (Recovery)
This is easily the best song on recovery. Not Afraid and No Love don't even compare with it. Eminem's old songs are still better but this is the closest yet.

Best song on recovery.

85Stimulate

Apparently people are easily swayed by catchy producing and less by genius. Not saying that all the Recovery-songs at the top end of this ranking are low quality. Hardly any of Em's is; rhymes, content, flow, visual imagery, scene-setting or even catchy producing there's always a reason to really like a song.
For me 'best' means 'good in every aspect, in a way that makes that song a whole, in which every single word or sound is right where it should be. '
Songs like this one, Renegades, Way I am, Rabbit Run, White America, Emulate are Em at his best in my opinion.


86My Mom (Relapse)
Really great song and shows emotion in a unique way! Is really underrated and needs more hits, if it was released tomorrow, I would buy it every time!
Silly kids, how dare you not add this to the list!? This is what Eminem is all about, unique songs like this. Recovery is crap, Relapse is one of his finest works. Vote.

I love this song, because of its uniqueness that eminem has in his raps

87Murder, Murder (The Slim Shady EP)

88Insane (Relapse)

This song is so much better than 53. My guess is that a lot of people just haven't heard it but you should. This song is funny, sad, and tells a story about eminems life. This song is definitely top 10 quality.

Slim shady... At his best in swearing!

89Almost Famous (Recovery)
This song is not bad at all. Ya this song underrated because of not Afraid, lose your self, stan. But this is one of the best song. The song need to be higer ranking. But this song include Adult word that's y song down too much
Should be way more popular than it is right now. Eminem does a great job, as does his back-vocalist. Definitely top 10 stuff.
Definitely one of his best songs ever. He kills every verse in this song and the chorus was to sick. Top Ten in my book. Legendary

91Untitled (Recovery)
How is this not higher? Sure, its not a proper track, but this is far better than anything else on Recovery.

"Unfashionable and about as rational as a rash on a f*** a******! "

^Funniest Eminem line ever.

Then he tops it off with, "Now lets take that line and run it up the flagpole with Elton"

One of ems best tracks, even if it only a bonus track.

93If I Had (The Slim Shady LP)

Too many radio listeners voted on this page. This song has one of the best lyrical openings I've ever heard. There are 6 songs in the top ten that I don't think deserve to be there.

94Go to Sleep

Really how is this song not higher? Its amazing... The Eminem part of the song at least its so nice to listen too.


95My Darling (Relapse: Refill)
Listen to the lyrics, they make a lot of sense and mean a lot more than love the way you lie and crap like that.
This song goes hard! Definitely should be a lot higher! Too low in the list for anyone to see this song on the list! Vote this song up! ASAP

96Drug Ballad (Marshall Mathers LP)
Em on ectasy rappin about ectasy on one of the finest beat by Dr. Dre. Ridiculous flow, ridiculous bassline ridiculous punchlines, ridiculous wordplays. This joint is better than the last three albums combine
Great beat, better lyrics, Eminem at his best.
My favorite hands done man. Should be in top 25.

99The Kids (The Marshall Mathers LP)
Such a cute and beautiful song.. Eminem is going thru changes so you need to be not afraid be spacebound, sing for the moment then lose yourself when some criminal is after you people would say RUN RABBIT RUN if you are an Eminem fan, you should be able to make out the nine songs in it and give this song a big like
"See children drugs are bad, and if you don't believe me ask your dad, nad if you don't believe him ask your mom, she'll tell you how she does it all the time. " Best chorus, love the South Park references... Just great. But how the hell is Almost Famous not on this list?

Oh my god, this is a masterpiece. The beat, the vocals, the meaning behind it, everything just flows perfectly. I think this is so under-rated and unheard of that its crazy.
