    I am so shocked Not Afraid is not on the list in the top 5

    Yes i know it's a Pop, experimental, artistic type song while this list went for traditional rap songs

    But Not Afraid bought Eminem a whole new generation of fans the biggest song of his career. First song ever to digitally go Diamond.

    Summer 2010 the way that song was on radio non stop and everyone was bumpin it. The way the youth of today to this day religiously love this song. 1 of the most catchiest hooks in music history

    The impact and storm this song caused the world it is a crime it is not included in the top 5 let alone not on the list

    It's a song that has him singing like most his songs. Singing on the hook and a bridge where he is singing. It's a song that has a message/substance over a b-----r beat

    It's a legendary Pop song

    As i say many times when Eminem sings he does so without the help of Autotune

    none of this is experimental. people have been singing hooks in rap songs and there have been songs with messages over "b-----r" beats before. in what was is any of this experimental? also he isnt the only person to sing without autotune.

    I feel like lists like this never work out. You always end up catering to one particular era over another. I'm sure a lot of people 35+ years old would be happy with this.

    Yeah but when i say it's the biggest song of his career i don't just mean in the context of billboard chart i mean overall as far as it gained him a whole new generation of teenage fans that were teenagers in 2010 and on wards. How it debuted straight at number 1

    How on I-Tunes it sold 10 million

    How it became a song that influenced his music from that point him creating more inspirational melodic motivational songs of the same sound Gut's Over Fear, Phenominal, King's Never Die, Beautiful Pain, The Monster

    How much the song appeals to non hip hop fans appealing mainly to pop fans transcending beyond hip hop

    Name me 1 that was the first to Digitally sell 10 million and go Diamond?

    That debuted at number 1 on the hot 100 billboard chart?

    That has over a billion views on youtube?

    Name me 5 mainstream rappers in this era that sing without using Autotune? i can only name 3 Eminem, 50 Cent, B.o.B
