whats your favorite eminem song

[inuyasha_junkie]

my favorite eminem song is either "@ss like that" or "when im gone"

[superplough]

ooh this is a tough one.. i like nearly all of them

Possibly Lose Yourself or Sing For The Moment

[inuyasha_junkie]

those came in 2nd place 4 me

[Sendo Takeshi]

Remember Me from the Marshall Mathers LP. It has the sickest beat in the entire album.

Also, Eminems freestyle work + first two albums > anything current

[Alice Catherine]

Stan or My Name Is.
Stan was really good and had me crying a bit...

[DEMON212]

Quite a few. Evil Deeds rocks, 1st Single kicks ***, and there's a few others from his 3rd and 4th album that totally blast away any of his stuff from the 1st 2 albums.

Haven't listened to em in a while, so i'm forgetting the names of the ones I like.

Have to be in the right mood to listen to him.

[EmberAlchemist0]

I like the song "Lose Yourself".

[kenshinbebop]

How do I vote NONE??

If I was forced to choose, I'd say Lose Yourself, and yet I still despise that song.

[seba_boi]

I can only stand three Eminem songs (which is a nice compliment itself):

"Sing For The Moment"
"Stan"
"Lose Yourself"

I can't stand his 'happy' songs...

[VidelCoolGirl]

I don't like him all that much, but Without Me is the song I know by heart.

[DEMON212]

I hate rap too, Em is the first guy i've been able to listen too. He's funny, and he speaks some serious **** sometimes, and he's audiable. I still love what Chris Rock said.

"The world's ****ed up, the best Rapper is White, the best Golfer is Black, and the best Basket Ball player is Chinese. This is some ****ed up world we live in" LMFAO XD

[superplough]

"the worlds ****ed up, the best rapper is White, the golfer is Black, and the best basket ball player is Chinese. This is some ****ed up world we live in" LMFAO XD
that is the best quote ever.

[Samourai]

i cant stand eminem.


eminem is nowhere near the best rapper, and yao ming is no where near the best bball player.

[Samurai Drifter]

The one where he doesn't say anything.

Oh wait, no. That's what all his songs SHOULD be.

[DEMON212]

I messed up, forgot to type "the best" for Tiger, my bad.

I wouldn't say Shaq is if that's who you're thinking of.

[Samourai]

Ever heard of lebron james? paul pierce? they crap all over yao ming.

[DEMON212]

New to B-ball, so no. Well, I think Lebron. But, he said current. So if those guys are past B-ballers, they don't count.

[Samourai]

New to B-ball, so no. Well, I think Lebron. But, he said current. So if those guys are past B-ballers, they don't count.


your really have no idea, so how can you call yao ming hte best? he is freaking TERRIBLE all he has is height, how can you not know if pierce or james are currently playing? people like you piss me off.

[Sendo Takeshi]

your really have no idea, so how can you call yao ming hte best? he is freaking TERRIBLE all he has is height, how can you not know if pierce or james are currently playing? people like you piss me off.



Internet. Serious business.

Anyway, lets get back to the topic at hand: Eminem is alright. He's not the end-all be-all of rap. But then again, current rap and hiphop is at its worst.

[Samourai]

jedi mind tricks is where its at, immortal technique, real hiphop, eminem is hipPOP, trash

[superplough]

"i'm some wigger who just tries to be black coz i talk with an accent"
lol, filler

[Animematt55]

Hate them all, hate him too.....nuff said

[Gannon]

"The world's ****ed up, the best Rapper is White, the best Golfer is Black, and the best Basket Ball player is Chinese. This is some ****ed up world we live in" LMFAO XD

Humorous, but means nothing beyond being a joke. The rapper with the most respect and critical acclaim right now is Jay-Z, and beyond having a guaranteed spot in the all star game every year, Yao Ming is no where near the best basketball player. Agreed on Tiger Woods though.

On-Topic: Don't have a favorite song of his.

[Alice Catherine]

Look, I don't care about race.
I don't care about color.
I don't care about controversy.
I don't care about fanbase and anti-Em.
I LIKE THE MUSIC.
Which is what some people really need to grasp lately. Remember Ciara? Well, people still love her 'cause she's pretty but she sucks dung live, dear.
Packaged up in synthetic voice and keyboards.

[~*Yumi*~]

Get past the drama y'all. It's a forum...in the Off Topic Discussion in all places...Can it and have fun, stop whining

Anyways, I'd have to say I luuv Like Toy Soldiers...that's my fave fer sure.

[Alice Catherine]

^I have that on my Ipod.

[superplough]

if i HAD an iPod :'( id have all the eminem songs on it nearly, minus a few that are crap e.g. that Kim song where he kills his wife

[Alice Catherine]

I have a $300 Ipod video that currently has...423 songs on it.

[~*Yumi*~]

My iPod was stolen in Summer School D= *supah sad*

[Alice Catherine]

OMFG were your parents mad?

[Spadesy]

I like a few songs of his. My favorite would have to be Like Toy Soldiers though.

"Step by step, heart to heart
Left right left, we all fall down
Like Toy Soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For Toy Soldiers"

[evilmunkeee]

My iPod was stolen in Summer School D= *supah sad*

That's awful D:
Someone tried to steal my iPod, but after I started to cry, someone told me who stole it and I got it back. [:
Pity, ftw.

And, my favorite song of Eminem is My Name Is, Mockingbird, or Stan.
I can't decide..

[Samurai Drifter]

My iPod was stolen in Summer School D= *supah sad*
Ha ha, my brother got his iPod stolen from his locker, but he went to the school administration and had them check into the security cameras. Not only did they find the kid, he got arrested, had to return the iPod, and now has to compensate my brother for other stolen property and pay him $350 over the course of a few months.

Oh yeah, back to the original thread question, again. Rap sucks. Hardcore.

[Lita]

My fav Eminen song is Stan or Toy Soldiers

Also i like the song infinite from his debut album which was also called infinite, thats prob my third fav.

[DEMON212]

your really have no idea, so how can you call yao ming hte best? he is freaking TERRIBLE all he has is height, how can you not know if pierce or james are currently playing? people like you piss me off.

I've never seen him play, I was just quoting a joke CR made about 2, 3 years ago.

And I know Lebron, he was in the play offs this year (that's when I started watching it, before I just played it) and he's one of the biggest cheats i've seen in any sport.

He's such a dirty bastard.

Humorous, but means nothing beyond being a joke. The rapper with the most respect and critical acclaim right now is Jay-Z, and beyond having a guaranteed spot in the all star game every year, Yao Ming is no where near the best basketball player. Agreed on Tiger Woods though.

On-Topic: Don't have a favorite song of his.


I can't stand Jay-Z. Ruined Linkin Park. He can't rap for ****.

[Haro!]

I can't stand Jay-Z. Ruined Linkin Park. He can't rap for ****.
What?! That's the only real response I can give that comment.

Anyway, um I like that Eminem song, no wait it was Dr. Dre's song.... so I don't think I actually like any.

[Fobb]

Samourai wins this thread because he name dropped JMT and Tech. I seriously had no idea anyone besides me ever even heard of JMT in this forum. Good to know.

And I don't hate Em because he's white, I just don't like him because he gives himself WAYYYY to much credit. He's not even THAT good. Matter of fact, he's not good at ALL. Don't like a lot of his songs. Any song that comes close to listen worthy for me is some songs he's done with D12, and thats only because D12 made the song a little better. Other than that, don't like the dude.

PS: Yao is NO WHERE NEAR THE BEST. Sorry. My boy Allen Iverson. Now that the name has come up, you can discuss the greatest.


PS: The only people who hate Jay-Z are the people that are linkin park fans/rap haters. Jay is good, but I don't think he's GOAT. I'd have to give that title to....no one. It's a matter of opinion.

[DEMON212]

Yep, I was an LP fan and I do hate RAP, and he's one of the reasons why.

[Fobb]

Well....I could point you in the other direction, but I don't feel like it at the moment.


*cough*Immortal Technique*cough*

[DEMON212]

Who?

Is he a rapper or is that some lame phrase or something that's meant to mean something?

[Gannon]

Samourai wins this thread because he name dropped JMT and Tech. I seriously had no idea anyone besides me ever even heard of JMT in this forum. Good to know.


Jedi Mind Tricks? Violent By Design...Army of the Pharaohs...Visions of Ghandi...production work for Canibus...

Yeah, you could say I've heard of them.

[Professor Funk]

Rap sucks...

[Fobb]

I would already have expected Gannon to know that.


EDIT: Has anyone heard "Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell" yet?

[superplough]

The only people who hate Jay-Z are the people that are linkin park fans/rap haters. Jay is good, but I don't think he's GOAT. I'd have to give that title to....no one. It's a matter of opinion.
kay, first of all, goat? wtf?

second, i like linkin park. i also like rap (well, some anyway). IMO Jay Z and Linkin park work well together.

[DEMON212]

IMO LP didn't need Jay-Z, Mike Shinoda is a far better rapper and he's a perminent member of the band.

[Fobb]

GOAT: Greatest of All Time



And if Shinoda REALLY was a better rapper than Jay, wouldn't he be getting a LOT more recognition than he does? And besides, you don't even like rap, how would you know if he was a better rapper? Just wondering.

[Sendo Takeshi]

IMO LP didn't need Jay-Z, Mike Shinoda is a far better rapper and he's a perminent member of the band.



You don't know crap about rap then if you think Mike Shinoda can rap. Mike Shinoda can't even stand up to an album like Illmatic without crying.

[DEMON212]

Mike Shinoda can't even stand up to an album like Illmatic without crying with laughter.

What is it you guys say here, fixed for your benefit?

[Sendo Takeshi]

Since I never listened Illmatic in my life I'm gonna toy around with Deathscythe's post because I clearly don't know anything about hiphop with my claims of Mike Shinoda being able to rap. But hopefully, one day I will be man enough to purchase Illmatic and listen to it and realize that Mike Shinoda is just a poser. I know when I've lost.


That's right Rainman. Also, go look up anything by Freddy Foxx. Also, purchase Wu-Tang Forever and Gza's Liquid Swords.

[Gaara of Desert]

Well...
My favourite song of eminem is Toy like soldier...
*yams*

[Fobb]

That's right Rainman. Also, go look up anything by Freddy Foxx. Also, purchase Wu-Tang Forever and Gza's Liquid Swords.
And also find Storyteller by Last Emperor.

[DEMON212]

Or I could listen to some real music instead of gay rap ****.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Or I could listen to some real music instead of gay rap ****.



Right. I think we all do. Its just that you went on this little escapade of declaring Mike Shinoda being a better rapper than Jay Z. So, since you have clearly admitted defeat in this post by copping out and saying you'd rather listen to real music I guess there's no point in going on.


Also, Radiohead > whatever you listen to.

[DEMON212]

Radiohead are total suicidal garbage.

Its just that you went on this little escapade of declaring Mike Shinoda being a better rapper than Jay Z. So, since you have clearly admitted defeat in this post by copping out and saying you'd rather listen to real music I guess there's no point in going on.

No because it's simply a matter of opinion, something I thought you'd never realise so we'd be here for weeks which I simply can't be arsed with.

[Fobb]

Hmm...I don't see what you based your opinion off of. You clearly haven't listened to enough rap to actually be a worthy judge of it, so where does the validity of what you are saying come into play?

[Alice Catherine]

...everyone has their own opinion.

Like at school for a music project we have to pick one artist, ANY ARTIST WE WANT.
Half the class picked the **** that we know as High School Musical.
The other half except one person went for the wangster we know as 50 Cent.
Me, I'm debating over L'arc en Ciel and Utada Hikaru, but probably Utada Hikaru because I know more about her. ^_^
And THAT is why I don't have a partner for the project. *sigh*

[DEMON212]

Hmm...I don't see what you based your opinion off of. You clearly haven't listened to enough rap to actually be a worthy judge of it, so where does the validity of what you are saying come into play?

I've listened to more than you know mate. Just because I only llisted Eminem and Mike Shinoda, doesn't mean that I haven't heard any rap. It just means that they're the only 2 to not piss me off.

[Fobb]

I've listened to more than you know mate. Just because I only llisted Eminem and Mike Shinoda, doesn't mean that I haven't heard any rap. It just means that they're the only 2 to not piss me off.
So then WHY would you say ALL rap is gay? And if you haven't heard Illmatic yet, then I'm making the safe assumption that you haven't been listening to the right kind of rap.

[DEMON212]

Because we have what is known as music channels here in the U.K, and Rap is on them, and after about 30 seconds to a minute I usually switch rap songs off. Because they're shite. And Jay-Z is one of those artists shown.

Old school hiphop/rap > modern hiphop/rap


And if you haven't listened to any old school hiphop then your opinion about Mike Shinoda and Eminem is invalid. Let's be real here, Eminem isn't even one of the top 10 greatest.

[superplough]

Old school hiphop/rap > modern hiphop/rap
Alright stop!
It's hammer time!

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[{NG}Fidel]

This is a pathetic thread.
The debate with Jay and what ever the other guys name is can only be based on opinion. Their isnt a standard for how Rap should sound other than what you create in your mind. And citing Jay Z's popularity isnt a way to prove anything. The idea that all rap is shite is wrong though. Now someone can think all rap is **** but they would have to listen to all the rap first. Going on the assumption that none of us here have heard all the rap made so far (Published Rap i dont think we can make that judgement. Personaly while playing Saints Row I heard several rap songs that didnt focus on *****es, tits, 40oz's, Glocks, and rolling on 22's and more so of the rappers thoughts on life. And while I didnt agree with what he said I found myself engrossed within the song. This is coming from some one who doesnt like most of the rap music he has heard. You will always be suprised in life.

[Fobb]

LMAO. Listening to the radio really doesn't qualify you to state a valid opinion on rap.

You're right, we really can't cite Jay-Z's skill based off popularity, but saying someone who doesn't DO rap is better at doing it than someone who has made millions off of it, I think that really that opinion is out of the question. It's a fact. I personally don't like Jay too much. He has cool songs, I'd have to give that to him. I like Shinoda, and feel that he does what he does and does it really well, but even I have enough sense to say that Jay-Z is a better RAPPER than Shinoda is.

[Haro!]

Personaly while playing Saints Row I heard several rap songs that didnt focus on *****es, tits, 40oz's, Glocks, and rolling on 22's .
But I'll admit they're not talkin' about 22's cause its all about 24's now. :lol:

I said I wouldn't comment further but here's my opinion. The original commentor stated that he can stand Shinoda and Eminem. Shinoda I have some respect for (mostly because of the artists he's worked with) while Eminem I have considerably less. Anyway I think its just a matter of preference: he likes whiney music. Seriously though (well i was half serious in my previous comment) I think its just a matter of him not wanting to hear anything else. Sure fobb can go recommending great albums, but chances are Demon will not listen. At this point there really is no need to try enlightening someone who doesn't want it.
Though I will say Game Theory by the Roots is an awesome album that's come out recently ^_^

[Fobb]

Game Theory was siccness.

Old school hiphop/rap > modern hiphop/rap

To be fair the old school rap I have heard was canny.

Big butts and I cannot lie, some of RUN DMC's stuff was good and 2 Dre songs. One with Em one with the NWA (think that was his old group).

[Professor Funk]

All of you guys need to listen to some August Burns red, Iron Maiden, and slayer. <<< Real music...

[DEMON212]

Never heard of the first one, and the second two suck *** big time.

Try some Dragonforce, GUNS AND ROSES, Velvet Revolver and i've heard very good things about the Stone Temple Pilots. Gonna have to buy one of there albums.

[Professor Funk]

How can you say Iron Maiden sucks, they are the greatest rock band of all time along with Queen. Guns and Roses suck (all show no go). I do LOVE dragonforce though.

My personal favorite genre of music is christian metalcore though (August Burns red, OLD underoath, Norma Jean, As I lay dying, Protest the hero)

[superplough]

GUNS AND ROSES
For The Win.

[{NG}Fidel]

We went from saying that prefrance is the only real factor to saying that Guns and Roses's (a band I despise) is the greatest of all time.
And BTW I understand they are a band liked/loved by millions but personaly I am just not taken by their music.

[Alice Catherine]

I think The Game is a capable rapper...

[Sendo Takeshi]

To be fair the old school rap I have heard was canny.

Big butts and I cannot lie, some of RUN DMC's stuff was good and 2 Dre songs. One with Em one with the NWA (think that was his old group).



I'm talking Early 90's to mid-nineties hiphop/rap. Wu-Tang, NaS, Five Deadly Venoms, Ghostface's albums, GZA's albums, Freddie Foxx, Gangstarr and a sh!tload of others. Not saying that Run DMC wasn't great, but the 90's era was just too good.

[Scandiadream]

"The Real Slim Shady"

For some reason, that song always cracks me up.

[DEMON212]

Funk.

I hate Maiden because they're just inaudible. Whne they're not screaming non-sence they're slurring it.

I have to like the music and I have to be able to understand what the people are saying/singing.

Maiden I don't like the tunes and I can barely understand a word they say/sing.

That's why I think Maiden suck. Just not my type of band.

At least we agree on Dragonforce/Queen though :)

What do you think about Muse? I personally love em and think they're one of the greatest bands to come out of the U.K. Blackholes And Revelations is such a phenominal album.

Just please tell me you don't like Green Day. I can't stand those *******s. And I can't believe some people rank them with Guns.

Death.

Yeah don't think i've heard any early 90's rap that impressed me mate. Can't think of anything anyway.

[Fobb]

I'm talking Early 90's to mid-nineties hiphop/rap. Wu-Tang, NaS, Five Deadly Venoms, Ghostface's albums, GZA's albums, Freddie Foxx, Gangstarr and a sh!tload of others. Not saying that Run DMC wasn't great, but the 90's era was just too good.
Recent rap isn't too bad either, at least underground (mostly). I like modern rap too. Nasty Nas was sicc, so is Wu-Tang, but hip hop didn't die when they stopped. Jedi Mind Tricks, Canibus, KRS-One, Last Emperor. So many to name.


Game is cool, but he could do a lot better if he didn't carry on with the constant name dropping.

[Alice Catherine]

You know, it seems the same people who like rap hate rock because they like rap. Not talking about here; most people here know what they're talking about.

I used to hate rap. Just because I went, shall we say "femo" (OMFG NEW WORD!) and started liking rock. I also hated classic because, well, it was classic and I'm a kid.

Then my dad helped me discover Fleetwood Mac. And Nirvana. And the Rolling Stones. And Led Zepplin. And pre-1997 Metallica.

THEN my older brother helped me discover some early rap.

Now my Ipod has 64 different genres.


Therefore, I doth hath discovered teh stereotypes most people have:

"Alternative is for hippies."
Not true. All kinds of people like Alt Rock. All-American Rejects is an example of Alt Rock, and it is a staple at junior high dances all over. EVERYONE LOVES IT.
"Anime Music is for basement dwellers."
Do I look like a basement dweller to you?
"Ballads are for old cowboys."
Evanescence put out a song called "Forgive Me" that was placed in the Ballad category. Last I checked, Amy Lee is not a cowboy.


I could go on, but I will later, as I have to beat my sister off the computer chair with a stick just to make this post.

[Fobb]

^*claps*

I agree 100%. I don't like a fan of hip hop any more than a rock fan if either one of them don't stop to appreciate all types of music.

[{NG}Fidel]

I dont contain myself to any one genre and its good you people know to do the same. People used to ask me what type of music I like and my answer was always.
"I like what I like"
Saying you like rap or rock as your favorite is a constraint on what you will be able to enjoy.

[JoeStrummer]

Not that I don't constrain myself to genre's, but honestly, I only like a few. Ska, Jazz, old punk, and a few old rock bands like Supertramp and Zeppelin, that's it.

[superplough]

Alice wins the thread.

[DEMON212]

I just like anything with a good tune. Usually that's any genre of Rock and any Genre of Metal. Including Alternative.

[Alice Catherine]

Alice wins everything.
:P
I thought everyone knew that. But I think I made my point clear.
