This is Eminem's greatest song... EVER... PERIOD... END OF STORY.

Eminem sounds better when he does guest vocals on other albums. There's a few songs out there that he really lets it all out.

Square Dance

[LA KB24]

Slim Shady LP was the best.

I miss the old Em.

Thanks to this thread I just listened to "Rock Bottom" for the first time since high school

Wow.

In my opinion Old Em did not stand the test of time.

It just doesn't sound good anymore.

The Marshall Mathers LP was his best album.

MMLP>>>>SSLP>>>>The Eminem Show>>>>Relapse>>>>>>Encore.

Have you heard his actually first underground album "Infinite", this album released in 95.

I actually love this story-telling song

I agree with the song, but personally think you highlighted the wrong part. The bolded below so much more poignant, IMO:

And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately
Points a finger at me (finger at me)..
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a fukc, when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn).. and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty
Havin this happenin (this happenin)..
Then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
To burn and it's burnin and I have returned

The rest of that verse just generic lyrics to play to 'teen angst", but the bolded is a real, true social statement.

i'd agree that the part you've highlighted is a sick verse.

but nothing personal, your comment is a reach.

so, one part of the song is "social commentary", but the rest is "generic" and just playing to "teen angst"??

c'mon, give the man some credit.

what? did he stop thinking & expressing himself as he was writing...just to finish the song's lyrics?

anyhow, believe what you'd like to believe

role model ftw!

Pretty much, Gundress ranked all of Em's albums in the correct order.

His next album.... Recovery, will be his best album.

No way, MMLP is a border-line masterpiece, I doubt Em will be able to ever top it. Recovery will probably end up being his 3rd best, maybe 2nd if he really steps up his game.

No way. It likes to say that Nas' next album will be his best album than Illmatic.

His next album Recovery could be better than Encore, Relapse but not better than The Eminem Show.

Right.... Most of artists couldn't top their best albums.
