- “Bully” (2003) Appearing on the Internet sometime before its inclusion on the semi-official Eminem mixtape Straight From the Lab, “Bully” is the best of the loosies Eminem made during his virulent war of words with Benzino and Murder Inc.’
- ‘Godzilla’ (feat. Juice WRLD) (2020) A highlight of 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By, “Godzilla” featured a posthumous guest vocal via late emo rap icon Juice WRLD, who had died just weeks before the track was released, and an almost numbingly intense performance by Eminem.
- “Bad Influence” (1999) Eminem has always been adept at running dizzying circles around his critics, nullifying attacks by embracing and one-upping them.
- “Talkin 2 Myself” feat. Kobe (2012) On this anguished highlight from Recovery, Eminem unburdens himself with honest, plainspoken revelations. “I almost made a song dissing Lil Wayne/It was like I was jealous of the attention he was getting,” Em admits.

- "Lose Yourself" Was there any question that this wouldn't take the top spot among all of the best Eminem songs?
- "Stan" Much and more (and then some) has been written about the extremely problematic lyrical content packed into Eminem songs.
- “The Real Slim Shady” "The Real Slim Shady" is, hands down, one of the greatest Eminem songs in his discography.
- “Without Me” Because when you drop a return single, you might as well make fun of your mom and the vice-president of the United States while you're at it.

Eminem illustrates all the cadences he has mastered over the years, channelling flows from influences such as Tech N9ne and Big Pun like an exorcist summoning spirits, and moving through an impressive 1,560 words in just six minutes. Some critics have dismissed this as empty “rappity rap”, but the fact a 41-year-old still cared this much about his ...
Although Marshall Mathers has repeatedly trashed 2009’s Relapse in interviews, the record, which is a nightmarish ode to horrorcore rap, has aged well – particularly this dread-inducing tale of a stalker who lynches Lindsay Lohan. Critics hated the creepy accent, which sounds like the bastard child of Borat and the Simpsons’ Groundskeeper Willie, b...
Just like Jay-Z’s similarly misguided DOA (Death of Autotune), The Ringer is a track from a veteran unhappy with the direction rap is headed. Mocking the supposed cliches of mumble rap, Em is essentially an angry old man shouting at a (Sound)cloud. But after years of disappointing albums plagued with turgid stadium pop, it was just exciting to hear...
On this overlooked B-side, Eminem tears through the thunderous boom-bap of Black Moon’s classic street-corner drama, I Got Cha Opin. This is that rare museum exhibit that doesn’t bore you to tears, with Em giving his fans a nostalgic serotonin boost after a duo of truly awful albums: Recovery, and The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
Much of Eminem’s forgotten 1996 debut, Infinite, is spent trying to imitate the multi-syllabic flow of Kool G Rapover beats that sound like cheap rip-offs from Nas’s Illmatic. But the playful nocturnal funk of It’s OK, which is littered with enthusiastic ad-libs from best friend Proof, results in the record’s most inspired rapping, as an introspect...
This shot of cathartic rage is still wildly inspiring, even if its appearance on every video game trailer sponsored by Mountain Dew might have diluted its impact a little. It was also fun to hear Nate Dogg sounding so emo and getting a chance to croon about something other than being a horny stoner.
With synths that appear to scream out in pain, this is one of Dr Dre’s weirdest concoctions. The songwriting may be the byproduct of a recluse spending his days writing raps amid Jeffrey Dahmer YouTube documentary binges, but Eminem mostly succeeds in trying to replicate the unhinged tone of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and that’s impressive. Tyler...
On Drug Ballad, Eminem is high as a kite, resiliently throwing jabs from beyond the clouds and refusing to come back down. The funky thrusts of bass replicate the energy of a horny, if incredibly tacky, spring-break party in the nu-metal era. It’s a window into a simpler, trashier time, where sniffing glue while playing with a Rubik’s Cube was some...
Turning his childhood traumas into whimsical entertainment, Eminem transitions from being bullied into being the bully, and his nutty turn of phrase and dark recollections of a Detroit high school where even the principal joins in with the beatings are frequently hilarious. Few artists can find light in such a dark setting and this song, released j...
With jokes about the alleged OJ murders and Lauryn Hill’s mythical hatred of white men, this is Eminem starting to realise his power as a cultural provocateur. The fact he bluntly erases his predecessor (“I saw Vanilla Ice and ripped out his blonde dreads”) also feels significant, with the Detroit native reshaping the idea of the ascendant white ra...

- Stan’ (2000) ‘Stan’ is a heart-rending elegy. An epistolary poem exquisite in structure and pace. A song of such cinematic ambition it borders on visible, starring a character more sincerely realised than any in hip hop.
- My Name Is’ (1999) Let the record show that Eminem’s first single was so vulgar it had to be rewritten twice: once for Labi Siffre, who wouldn’t clear the sample till Em rewrote the homophobic bits; and again for radio, lest so many words got blanked it became an instrumental.
- Lose Yourself’ (2002) After ‘Just the Two of Us’ – not to mention every other song he’d ever written – nothing short of a miracle would pull Eminem to the bosom of mainstream acceptance.
- Guilty Conscience’ (1999) Second only to dying young, concept songs are the surest route into hip hop’s pantheon – think Jay Z’s ’22 Two’s’, Nas’s ‘I Gave You Power’ or, better still, Eminem’s ‘Guilty Conscience’.
