What exactly makes a song better than another song in any way besides your own opinion? If you like a song more than another song, you obviously think it's "better".
I just watched a Kanye West interview where he talks about how its UNDENIABLE that Halo is beyonce's best song ever and i have to agree with him. I mean, when you break it down to what art is about- creativity, effort, inginuity, impact on the masses, execution of concept, originality, relevance etc... some songs just tick all the right boxes. In rap it could be the drum patterns, the number of rhymes, the continuity of the story, the sequence of arrangments, the melody of the hook, the reflection of reality, the clarity or complexity of concepts... there are so many ways to objectively listen to music. Award shows were made with just that in mind- to be objective in assessing music.
I've learnt to do that through Debate and philosophical arguments i've engaged in. I mean, i might not agree with an argument made but sometimes its just better constructed.
To the OP- i'm also of the opinion that Eminem shouldnt make a solo album right now. Not necessarily because he doesnt have alot to talk about (which is to some extent true) but because he seems so robotical now. I feel a part of the "excitment" of him working on a record is gone... or at least i dont feel it when i listen to the record. He has a hunger to make good music (from everyone saying he spends days on a record) but that.... that... passion just doesnt come out now.
A movie, D12 album, world tour, some time off and a few more random features could do him good.
