    No contest

    Cleaning Out My Closet is one of the best songs ever across all genres and a top 10 best ever Eminem song

    It's him at his best

    Emotion
    Melodic catchy hook
    Personal
    Melodic flow
    Story telling
    Catchy production that slaps
    Relatable subject matter
    Balanced lyricism in that it is not too lyrical but not basic

    It's a song @EminemBase @Spatula will agree is his best even though they don't typically listen to Eminem for feelings, emotions, vibes like this song

    Cleaning is not Eminem's best song, that would be 8 Mile, but it is better than Leaving Heaven, of course.

    Maybe if every verse on Leaving Heaven was as strong as the third verse, I might think this is a reasonable comparison.

    But c’mon now

    It's your opinion but I disagree Cleaning Out My Closet is better than 8 Mile Road
