I'll just name some off the top of my head

SFTM last verse
8 Mile Road last verse
As the world turns second verse
Revelation verse
Fight music verse
Remember me verse
Marshall Mathers first verse
Amityville second verse
Criminal last verse
Renegade second verse
Forgot about Dre
White america .. basically the whole song contains amazing verses
Soldier third verse
SGTH last verse
Till I collapse second verse

These are some of my favourite verses. I think that bad guy, especially verse 3 and 4 murk some of these verses that I've mentioned. Same goes for Rap God verse 3. But I guess that's just me lol :sweating:

Yo.. I'll fuckin.. I'll.. I'll puke, eat it, and freak you
Battle? I'm too weeded to speak to, the only key that I see to defeat you
Would be for me to remove these two Adidas and beat you
And force feed you 'em both, and on each feet is a cleat shoe
I'll lift you off your feet so fast with a roundhouse
You'll think I pulled the fucking ground out from underneath you (Bitch!)
I ain't no fucking G, I'm a cannibal
I ain't tryin to shoot you, I'm tryin to chop you into pieces and eat you
Wrap you in rope and plastic, stab you with broken glass
And have you with open gashes strapped to a soakin mattress
Coke and acid, black magic, cloaks and daggers
Fuck the planet, 'til it spins on a broken axis
I'm so bananas I'm showin up to your open casket
To fill it full of explosive gasses and close it back
With a lit match in it while I sit back and just hope it catches
Blow you to fragments, laugh, roll you and smoke the ashes

Most overrated?... Probably "Bad Guy". I love the track but to see some people calling it storytelling masterpiece and on par with "Stan" and shit is a bit much, especially considering the third person style descriptions of the first coupla verses. Which do not feel LIVE and truly engaging, but more-so like the approach most rappers take.

In terms of the most underrated... and I'll probably get a lot of hate for this, but I'd say ''Survival''. Yes it has a corny hook, yes it's a by-the-numbers formula track with an agenda... but man, his verses and the way they're delivered are SO satisfying to me and my ears. They're empowering and crisp as fuck, I find the potency of those verses so fucking great and i think in many ways he set a new bar in certain aspects of them.

His vocal delivery and the affect of them is fucking powerful. But I think people are so used to that KIND of track from Em (even though he's actually not done that many of them) that they sideline it as ''just another track''.

If I couldn't pick ''Survival'' then I would probably say ''Rap God''. Which may sound absurd also given the love that track gets, even from critics. But most of the love seems to be purely at his rapping speed in that supersonic bit and I've even seen other rappers say it's just rapidty nonsense. To characterize that track, I think, just shows you're stupid or not listening or not grasping what he's doing. That track is such a psychatrist-chair clusterfuck of self-analysis, provocation and switching of personas, like the old days on crack - and he does it all with such brilliant precision and style-changes throughout. It's a spectacular track, but the actual lyricism of it is looked-over as just ''great rhyming'', like all he's doing is rhyming words a lot. That's nonsense.

''Rap God'' is one of his best tracks ever. Of any era. And not for rhyming or rapping speed.

Underrated: Asshole

Overrated: None I can think of, there's no song on there that I think gets too much praise than it deserves tbh.
Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
And I got an Evil Twin
So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?

Asshole is criminally underrated. One of the best tracks on the album.

Nobody say Rap God is overrated :y:


Underrated : ∃vil Twin (Dope i hope it becomes a single :flutter: )
Overrated : Love Game ( Ems 2nd verse easily killed kendricks but not a special song )

Glad to see that lots of other people feel Bad Guy is overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's a great song and I thought it was dope af when it came out and still think it's amazing but I think some people are going on about it as if it's like in the top 5 Eminem songs or that it's one of Eminem's best constructed/written songs ever. Maybe there's subjectivity in ranking Bad Guy so high but for me... when I really think about it, I don't think Bad Guy comes into my top 10 Eminem songs. Stan does. But something about Bad Guy doesn't lure you in or make you wanna call it the greatest ever. I don't know, that's just how I feel about Bad Guy now.
