    Which "Slim Shady" song by Eminem is the best?

    -My Name Is
    -The Real Slim Shady
    -Without Me
    -Just Lose it

    I think Without Me is a great song, overall. Sick flow, rhymes and pretty funny. Love that song. Eminem is coming out with some new CD's, he better come good on them. Because his new personal CD is going to be called Re-Born (according to Wikipedia).

    Funny you made this topic, because today I was thinking to myself just how much I hate these songs, lol.

    Really, some of the worst songs I've EVER heard, Eminems mature side is much better (i.e "Mockingbird", "When I'm Gone", "Superman" etc.)

    Mockingbird and When I'm Gone are horrible songs. Encore was a pretty bad album IMO.

    I agree Mockingbird IS Horrible. When I'm Gone, if possible, is worse.
    I think Eminem's best stuff is

    Lose Yourself
    Forgot About Dre
    that other song he did on Chronic 2001
    Kill You
    My Name Is

    I hate those goofy songs he does, and usually after he drops those he comes back with a really serious single.

    I think Stan is one of his best songs.

    Oh hell yeah, I hate these songs, but Mockingbird is horrible.

    What I'm saying is, the only funny, "slim shady" Eminem song I like is Without Me.

    You want a whole list?

    Infinite (sickest **** he's spit, to me)
    Run Rabbit Run
    8 Mile
    Lose Yourself
    Guilty Conscience
    Just Don't Give a ****
    Rock Bottom
    Stan
    The Way I Am
    White America
    Square Dance
    Sing for the Moment (so sick)
    Superman
    Hailie's Song
    Til I Collapse (what I use to get motivated)


    Eminem's verses on Renegade completely blew Jay Z out of the water, he makes great guest appereances. I'm hoping his new album next year is going to be hot. Not that **** he called music when he released Encore.

    "Mockingbird" and "When I'm Gone" are probally some of his finest works, they were songs in which he showcased a new side we hadnt seen before, an emotional, more mature side, I personally think this side of Eminem is 10 times better than any of the goofy "My Name Is", "The Real Slim Shady" stuff he released in the past, songs which had no meaning or point. You may not know it, but "Mockingbird" and "When I'm Gone" are both songs written to his daughter, so that may be why not many people like them, but they are definatley some of his best work, I love the message behind both songs, they give you a good insight to how Eminem has grown since becoming a star, and how his family has coped with his fame.

    I mean both songs are against traditional Eminem style, and I can understand why not many Eminem fans like them, but they're both VERY good songs, wether you like them or not.

    I love When I'm Gone, I feel it's a great side. Like NTC said, very mature. He also paints a great picture with his story telling.

    I wasn't a fan of mockingbird though, even though it was sincere and mature, the rhymes felt forced.

    BTW, I'm a huge Em fan. Love his work.
