    i think he has a few timeless tracks. Renegade, Till I collapse, The way i am,SFTM are also strong contenders, although LY kinda stands out.
    I think people TES and 8mile are his best works, not only because of flow and production, but because em managed to capture the time and what he was going through while putting it in lyrics that kinda people can relate despite the time they are living in. I don't know if i make sense.

    Yeah I agree Stan is timeless they are both fantastic songs but Lose Yourself is massive it's probably the first song that people think off when Eminen is mentioned it's played at sports arenas around the world still to this day Stan is also massive but in the sense of hip hop massive lose yourself is world massive

    good point dude
    youre one of my favorite posters atm bro,

    and yea it makes sense, i think i just hella underrate the TES era due to the fact i overplayed it so much, i mean he did do both 8 mile and tes at the same time s--- lmao, and still managed to drop a classic.

    It deserves all the recognition and prizes it gets the only reason people can call it overrated is because we've been listenin and hearin this flawless s--- since 2002 non stop anything you listen more than hundreds times would felt like it's not that good at all and overrated

    It might actually be underrated considering how technically f---ing spectacular this song is lyrically. But its done so effortlessly its not even consciously thought of, due to the poignant content of the song itself

    Edit: Like people turn this s--- on when they want to feel a certain feeling just like people do for eye of the tiger, etc. However If you deconstruct the song youll find tons of lyrical value you may have glossed over all these years (i sure did) its a masterpiece in every sense of the word

    Not over rated at all. I am not considering the views of people who hear only Eminem but the general reception of it seems fine. BTW the negativity that surrounds Em these days I thought most of you will say yes. Glad to see people maintain their opinion.

    It seriously is the best rap song of all time in my humble opinion. It is a 10/10 in every way
