1. Lose Yourself- Great beat, positive message, not to mention it was the first rap song that won an oscar
2. Kim - The whole concept was ingenious and the vocals made it sound like you were there when it happened. Shows off his storyttelling ability
3. Cleaning Out My Closet - Dark, Emotional songs like this are what he's best at.
4. The Way I Am - Pretty much the same reasons as COMC but this one showed his ability to make a great beat also(even though most his beats arent nothing special, every once in awhile there incredible, like this one)
5. Nail In the Coffin - Just because I always hated the source, from back when I was real young and they use to give every album that didnt come from New York(or sound like it) bad ratings. Always wanted somebody to lash out at them, Cypress hill tried, Ice Cube tried, then Em finished them off. This song lead to Dave Mays and Benzino eventually going bankrupt and losing the magazine to debt. Masterpiece for that alone.
Alternates - Guilty Conscience, Sing for the moment, Going through Changes, Scary Movies and Love You More
