    Sing for the Moment is often titled Eminem's best song, and many feel the same for Kanye when talking about Runaway.

    which of these two is the better song?

    Sing for the Moment, easily. the answer is immediately obvious when you compare their first verses

    She find pictures in my e-mail
    I sent this b---- a picture of my d-ck
    I don't know what it is with females
    But I'm not too good with that s---
    See, I could have me a good girl
    And still be addicted to them hoodrats
    And I just blame everything on you
    At least you know that's what I'm good at


    vs.

    These ideas are, nightmares to white parents
    Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
    Like whatever they say has no bearing
    It's so scary in a house that allows, no swearing
    To see him walking around with his headphones blaring
    Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care
    He's a problem child, and what bothers him all comes out
    When he talks about, his f---ing dad walking out
    Cause he hates him so bad that he, blocks him out
    If he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out
    His thoughts are wacked, he's mad so he's talking back
    Talking black, brainwashed from rock and rap
    He sags his pants, doo-rags and a stocking cap
    His step-father hit him so he socked him back
    And broke his nose, his house is a broken home
    There's no control, he just lets his emotions go


    and SFTM only gets better and better from there.

    Sing For the Moment is a classic, Runaway was fantastic but just didn't have the calibur to match it

    That last verse on SFTM is GOAT. Have to go with SFTM.
    "That's why we sing for these kids, who don't have a thing
    Except for a dream, and a f---in' rap magazine
    Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long
    Idolize they favorite rappers and know all they songs
    Or for anyone who's ever been through s--- in their lives
    Till they sit and they cry at night wishin' they'd die
    Till they throw on a rap record and they sit, and they vibe
    We're nothin' to you but we're the f---in' s--- in they eyes
    That's why we seize the moment try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it
    'Cause we consider these minutes golden
    And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
    Just let our spirits live on, through our lyrics that you hear in our songs and we can..."

    The vocal sample on Sing For The Moment is so corny. It's a bottom 3 song on TES.

    The only song ABOVE it is Say Goodbye To Hollywood. You could make a strong argument for White America or Til I Collapse being better as well.
