Rock Bottom is the best HipHop song of all time

[Emadyville]

It's all opinion, there is no greatest rap song, or greatest rapper, but you chose a great song as your "best" rap song.

It's real for most people as most can relate, he captures the rock bottom "concept" in the song and hook perfectly, his delivery is felt, and his rhyming is absolutely nuts, one of his best lyrical tracks

[EminemBase]

I wouldn't say it's the best hip-hop song of all time but it's definitely a classic.

But I wouldn't say any one song is 'the best'. There's so many which are good for different reasons that I just don't think you can have one true best, in anything.

It's like I can't name my #1 best film ever because I would at least have to say well... Best gangster, best comedy, you know - Categorize them.

I don't think it's the BOAT, but it's all just a matter of opinion.

[Robbie G]

I'd definitely put it in my top 5 Em songs. Emotion/ lyrics were amazing.

[classthe_king]

I think it is the greatest song of all time. A song doesn't need a ton of crazy metaphors for it to be a great song. This song was about his life, it has more emotion then any song ive ever heard. AND he somehow makes the multis amazing. I don't think this song will ever be topped.

[shadyboymez]

hard to say whats the best of all time since so many people have different opinions, but i definately think it's one of em's best and has always been a favorite of mine.

This topic screams for resistance.

IMO, there isn't really a G.O.A.T. hip-hop song. As mcZu said, it all comes down to preference, but if you're judging this track as one of the best, just because of its multies and emotions, there is much more depth to the term "lyrical".

Lyrical encompasses a wide variety of factors that make up the art of rhyming. It's not just having insane multies everywhere or literally screaming the track. In fact, anything to do with a rapper's voice or delivery or flow is not considered under the "lyrical" category.

the best song doesn't have to be the most lyrical

That's true, but the best song does have to have some creativity?

Arguably, this whole topic is pointless, seeing as if there is no G.O.A.T. hip-hop song.

lol of course there's no best hip hop song. But i will say its my favorite.

And how is there no creativity?

[Relapse.LP]

^ What's creative about it? ^

The way he it's one of his best rhyming songs of all time but also his most emotional song of all time. I haven't seen anyone else do it so i'd say you have to be pretty creative to keep that up. Didn't someone say he wrote this song the day he tried to commit suicide. The way this song touches you is amazing.

[grabdat]

If i Had and Rock Bottom My favorite em songs and probably favorite rap songs.

[Tash8]

i think is probably one of the best lines ever

I feel like i'm walking a tight rope without a circus net



wat an amazing simile

[8milestyle]

Definitely one of the best. However, Em himself has topped it. The emotion is there, and is what makes it such a great song.

And to people saying there is no G.O.A.T.... duh? It's all subjective. There is no hip-hop God that decides these things. Put people can have favorites, and can share that with others.
