This is an Eminem Song ranking system which breaks every song down into 5 categories.

PROD = Production (beat, effects, quality)
CNCPT = Concept (theme, message, creativity)
LYR-R = Rapping (rhyming difficulty, patterns, multis)
LYR-W = Writing (meaning, storytelling, hook)
DELIV = Delivery (voice, flow, rythm)

Each song is ranked out of (10) in each category, thus a perfect song would receive a (50).

Currently the only songs ranked are songs from his 6 Studio Albums, as well as Bonus Tracks, 8 Mile Soundtrack, The Re-Up, Curtain Call, and Relapse: Refill.

The first sheet is the Rankings, the second sheet breaks each Album down, and the third sheet breaks each Category down.

Based on these rankings, Eminem's 6 Albums currently rank as following:

1. The Marshall Mathers LP (40 AVG)
2. Recovery (39 AVG)
3. The Eminem Show (38 AVG)
4. The Slim Shady LP (37 AVG)
5. Relapse (36 AVG)
6. Encore (33 AVG)

Ranking system makes no sense, and IMO the results show it.

Your opinion. I'm pretty happy with the results.

I know just letting you know that not a lot of people are gonna agree with those rankings. I'll say this though: you need to think up a hell of a ranking system to figure out a way that TES isn't 1st. So props on that, you did the impossible.

Before these rankings, I would put MMLP 1st and TES 2nd. So would a lot of people. So I don't see why it's a big deal TES isn't 1st.

just because you think TES is the best doesn't mean other people don't think MMLP is better.

ok fine maybe most people think mmlp > tes, but no one thinks recovery > tes

TES Has a handful of great songs, but a handful of mediocre ones (Business, Hailey's Song, Say What You Say, Say Goodbye to Hollywood) and to me, a bunch that are nearly unlistenable (Square Dance, When the Music Stops, Drips, My Dad's Gone Crazy.

Recovery only has a couple that would fall on either of this list in my opinion (Won't Back Down, So Bad)

my dads gone crazy and say goodbye to hollywood is unlistenable
yeahhhh righhhhhht

and for me the list goes:

tes
recovery
mmlp
relapse
and the the rest are equal to me.

If you disagree with any of the songs ratings, let me know. But until then, the CD rankings come directly from the songs rankings, so it's not really an argument. The system seems pretty effective to me.

Fuck The System

Rabbit, Run is almost 30th? Idk about that..
JDGAF and SDGAF mid-20's? Idk about that..
Lose Yourself his only perfect, and his best song? Idk about that..
Kim and Mosh in the mid-teens, and above WAY better songs? Idk about that..


Needless to say, there's a LOT more on there I disagree with. Some of his best songs are below 20 on this ranking, and Lose Yourself I can MAYBE see giving a 50, but only if like 5 other tracks also got 50's..

Idk how you put this together, but like I said, I disagree.


Edit: Oh your basing this off some other rankings? What rankings? And if so, that's probably your mistake right there.

Do you mean RWR, JDGAF and SDGAF are too high or too low? I think they seem correctly placed, perhaps RR is slightly too high?

I see Lose Yourself as being the only 50 in this system, every other song is at least minutely flawed in one aspect.

Mosh is honestly one of Eminem's best, considering the concept and lyrics. The beat is also great, receiving an 8/10. I Bumped Kim down a notch on the production, lowering it to 8/10 as well. Kim now ranks 28th.

Rabbit, Run was receiving an unnecessary 9 in production. The beat was good but not that good. Its overall rank is now lowered to #41.

I also made several other small changes that shook up the rankings. I greatly appreciate any input and I think as a community we could really make this rankings worthwhile and interesting. Keep up the input.
