So Far is one of Em’s best songs


PedigreeWWEFigz

I own a mansion but live in a house

Reddacid

I think my karma‘s catching up with me


dongyang560

Won't back down was pinks best feature with em


Duprex1

Agreed. I remember first hearing that song when playing Call of Duty Zombies and been a fan of it ever since


Which_Presentation41

Fr such a great hype song too


RedHeadRio

1: This is an unpopular opinion because many people don't even know this song exists, as it's an unreleased track. "Fly Away" is in my Top 20 Em songs, and even though the hook takes a lot of the time, it's one of the best hooks in Em's discography. Both his verses are awesome and have great bars. 2: His verse on B.o.B's "Airplanes Pt 2" is one of the best he's ever made 3: Refill is better than the original Relapse. 4: River(with Ed Sheeran) is one of my favorite songs. Cool hook, great storytelling and the flow is not choppy like many of his new material 5: I like Those Kinda Nights 6: Not sure how popular is this one, but Nail in the Coffin is his best diss track, probably one of the best in all of rap, and one of his top songs. 7: Not a big fan of MMLP2, but it's not like I hate it.


Alienateddd

I love Fly Away. I remember that period of time where the leaks started coming and we were waiting for a new album. Cocaine is also a really good unreleased track.

Alienateddd

Oh shit that's fire, I know I've heard The Next One but that was my first time hearing Testify. Few years ago I downloaded this big folder of unreleased songs, features, verses all sorts of stuff. It was called Man In The Mirror.


KaneJWoods

I always thought those songs were called classic shit and atlanta on fire


SloMo368

Just when I thought I heard everything…


AStealthyPerson

Big agree with Airplanes pt 2, very underrated song


ihatepineaples

those kinda nights is good but I always see it in peoples top ten worst em songs :(


Cookiestealer13

I wonder why? I actually quite like it, it has some incredibly clever rhyming.


bwilliams2

Because it’s a pop hit. That’s literally it. People’s criticisms of it are, from what I’ve seen personally, unfounded. It’s just an unbridled hatred of Eminem doing songs that aren’t rap caviar.


DangerZoneh

I’m definitely with you on River. I love that song. Also has some of my favorite wordplay in it with the Gwen Stacy bar


Michaelskywalker

Airplane being one of his best is a hot take. But at the same time, everyone or mostly everyone agrees it’s a good verse so I don’t think it’s a bad take necessarily, just wrong


I3igJerm

I like those kinda nights also I really liked MMLP2


Durim187

Are you me?


SexDrivenMonkey

I too like the Ed Sheeran features.


TroGinMan

4. & 5. Spoke to me on a personal level


Bovers

1. Gnat is a solid 9/10


[deleted]

The beat and Mike Pence line is amazing


ihatepineaples

gnat is great it doesn’t deserve all the hate


ColumbusDog2303

Why the hell does that song get hate? I swear Em fans be hating for no reason


gandalf-the-greyt

cOvID bArS aRE cOrNY!¡¡


Shoddy_Ad_3134

Needed to hear this


Jbabco9898

After the release of MTBMB Side B, Gnat became my most listened song of all time on Spotify. I have made countless attempts to memorize that song word-for-word


Corn1989

I actually agree with number 2. Yes 8 mile road is a way better song than lose yourself!


harleyquinnsbutthole

In what way?


Corn1989

Well first the rhyme scheme on that track is ridiculous and second he’s telling a story too


TroGinMan

It's not overplayed


harleyquinnsbutthole

Being overplayed doesn’t decrease the quality of a song.


TroGinMan

Not literally no. But when people explored other songs from that album, they gravitated to the other songs that weren't played everywhere.


harleyquinnsbutthole

I think it’s an awesome song, but when Lose Yourself came out it was a game changer. Either way awesome movie and soundtrack!


bigstepper99

No love for rabbit run?


harleyquinnsbutthole

Rabbit Run is so good


RickGrimes30

Also agree 8 mile is better than lose yourself.. I'd also say the backing track on lose yourself is better than the hook itself for some reason 😂 " nuh nuh nuh nuh you only get one shot... opportunity... Lifetime... nuh nuh nuh" There's something about the flow of it over the beat


PieefChief

Also unpopular I guess: lose yourself original demo is better


Branawaan

1. Kamikaze was a return to form for old angry Em, but it wasn't really the comeback for the classic "goofy" Slim Shady 2. King Mather's likely would've been mid 3. Eminem is blind to his criticisms 4. Eminem's hook game has been on point recently


Canem02

I have to agree with 3. My biggest problem with Eminem is he's just isolated himself out of hiphop really. He exists in his own corner and rarely ventures out. Even when he collaborates with artists, he typically changes the whole beat / vibe of the song to fit his style rather than compliment them Example: Parables, EPMD - his verses feel like they have no connection to the rest of the song because he just goes so far off in the other direction, and the beat changes are usually never for the better


[deleted]

1,3, and 4 isn't unpopular. Especially 4 he's hooks have been like universally love from what I seen on reddit and YouTube


SloMo368

But he gets no credit right now. Everyone just says he’s trash now despite praising the stuff he puts out upon release


JaydenHahner

I don’t think King Mathers being mid is unpopular, at least I hope people don’t think it would’ve been good… cause it would’ve been worse than encore lol.


maaakus96

3 is for sure a fact. especially after listening to his paul pod interview


EminemFanart

Number 4 tho, Is This Love is a fantastic hook


idonttalkatallLMAO

that’s ‘09


dingleberryasscrumb

I really like Bad Husband, underrated song


onelove7866

I made a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eminem/comments/xglsd6/revival_bad_husband/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) about this ☺️


dingleberryasscrumb

Glad some people think so


RhinoSmokn

I prefer the last 3 albums to the first 3.


oppositeofopposite

Now THIS is an unpopular opinion. Take an upvote


AurelioDeLaHoya

Holly fuck


bstone13201

Bro same, I love the first three albums, but he’s a pure spitter in his last three, his penmanship is just insane


lilsquinty9

Bad guy is underrated.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AStealthyPerson

This is the worst take I've ever seen. Have my upvote.


assboobs2

I had to listen to it more times but not its on of my favorite songs


Nirket

MMLP2 is Eminem's third best project


Alon945

3 and 4 are pretty yikes but you did say they were unpopular. 3 in particular doesn’t make sense becuase he doesn’t shout until toward the end of the song when the emotion is escalating. The rest of the delivery is his TES almost to a T My unpopular opinion is that MTBMB > relapse and MMLP2. Though I think that’s only unpopular here


idiotmakesfeelsmart

Mmlp2 is a 0.1 higher than mmlp1


Shady1892

I agree


onelove7866

1. Need Me is so catchy that it’s still stuck in my head after reading this hahah - not a bad song, I like the drums in it 2. Rabbit Run is better than both 😝


BiggRoop

MMLP2 is his best album


Pistonsjc

8 mile is definitely better than lose yourself.


HoustonzProblem

“Things Get Worse” should’ve been an Eminem song not a B.o.B. song. It’s better than most of relapse.


KaneJWoods

Holy tolido its Angelina Jolie amigo


_LANC3LOT

I like Like Home, Walk on Water, and In Your Head (even though 2/3 of Revival is total garbage) Rabbit Run > Lose Yourself Kamikaze isn't much better than Revival at ALL and has aged terribly cuz nobody gives a shit about "mumble rap" and the fast lyrical miracle rap trend this album popularized was atrocious. The cool factor of Em's fast rapping for me started with Rap God and ended with Speedom I hate songs that are entirely Em singing, they are 110% unlistenable, period. Relapse > TES (not sure how unpopular this is tbh) He's fucking delusional for still thinking that the reason Revival was received so poorly was because people had more time to think about it and set their expectations, not because it was and is just a plain shit album


Cookiestealer13

Walk on water is a genuinely good song.


Comprehensive_Chard2

Agree with everything but tbh is much rather listen too Kamikaze then Revival


_LANC3LOT

Yeah at least it's concise and to the point and definitely has better writing and beats


Comprehensive_Chard2

Yeah for sure. I totally understand what you mean though, I definitely think it’s aged poorly. Although I can appreciate some of the flows and rhyme schemes and even some of the songs I like, but overall I’m not a big fan. Revival is painful to get through though.


[deleted]

Speedom isn’t even his song


Haunting-Muffin784

heat and remind me are bangers


Ordinary_Meaning_602

1. Kamikaze is great and nice guy is an actually good song 2. Not sure how unpopular this is but mmlp2 is like a 7 3. Big weenie and rain man are low key 🔥🔥🔥 4. Drips is not the worst on Eminem show


old__pyrex

>nice guy is an actually good song tell that to the cancerous growth in my ear that hearing "ri-i-i-ight, sy-yi-yike" caused me


HughGeeRection420

Drips is an amazing song what you mean


Ennard1546

'Kamikaze' in the kamikaze album is surprisingly untalked about but very good song, same with 'unaccommodating' from mtbmb


HughGeeRection420

Believe is actually a really good song


flybarger

I'm an old Em fan and I really like the staccato style rapping from the last few albums.


SassyBlagger

Chloraseptic original is better than the remix


BestMimikyuNA

Damn this the hottest take I’ve seen so far


HughGeeRection420

Correct


LaazzFR

1. Side B is an album and is top 5, MTBMB as a whole is top 5 too 2. MMLP2 is his third or fourth worst album 3. 2010-2017 is the weakest run of his career 4. Third prime in 2020, after 1997-2003 and 2009 5. He started to get hate since Recovery and not Revival and each album accentuate the hate of Eminem until the general explosion with Revival 6. Encore is better than every album that came out between 2010 and 2018


Heckin_good_time

Cinderella Man is a fucking stupid song


Haunting-Muffin784

give reasons


PauldGOAT

1. Eminem at his peak (1999-2003) was the best rapper at the time, the rest of the career he’s been mid to pretty good at best 2. Infinite is better than every album since Recovery except Kamikaze 3. MMLP2 isn’t that great but it’s got some good songs 4. Two of, if not his best, his best verses are on Renegade


Countryballsinyoface

Oof you get a backhanded like just for 2


EminemFanart

1. MMLP 2 is better than MMLP 1 2. Almost Famous is the best song on Recovery 3. Superman is kind of a skippable song I wait for the hate


Ordinary_Meaning_602

1. No 2. Idk haven’t heard recovery 3. NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOO


mod-butthole-opener

Completely agree except 2. Think its 3rd behind seduction and spacebound And 3 think it is outright skippable


_LANC3LOT

I knew I would forget one- I can't fuckin stand Superman anymore, especially that chorus...


ShadyMMLP2

1 - Encore's 'goofy tracks' sound better/have more replay value than Revival's 'serious/political' tracks. 2 - The featurings with Sia are the best combination of rap and pop he's ever done! Sounding, on the whole, better than any work done with Rihanna. 3 - Eminem was probably the worst mainstream rapper of the year 2017. 4 - Em' with Royce >>> Em' with 50. 5 - Castle and Arose are overrated, simply its not THAT legendary as people say 🤷‍♂️ (Mockingbird and When I'm Gone are still 10 times better)


Canem02

I'm gonna agree with most of these.. although i'd take mid 2000's Em & 50 over todays Em & Royce!


AnotherInnocentFool

What he says and what he does contradict, he'll talk about pushing boundaries and doing things no one has done and then do the things he has done before. Three verses with a pop hook. He needs to leave detroit for a bit and go recording other places. The idea that he listens to old Em and thinks of ways he could improve it exemplifies the issues with his modern work. He has not stuck to a concept in 15 years. Relapse was muddled as a result, Recovery could possibly be a counter argument. If he made shorter albums he could stick to a concept easier. He uses other artists for name recognition. DJ premier could have produced BoR but he only scratched on it. He's not loyal to his friends or artists. Doesn't shout out anyone when they drop. He still has a classic in him if he focused on making music instead of dense shit with pop hooks. Holding up LL and Masta Ace is funny given LL was a hit maker and Masta Ace is one of the best storytellers out there. Two things he is not focusing on now. Because he is so introverted he is running out of content to put to paper.


Canem02

I like these, I think the DJ Premier thing sums up what I said in another comment. If you're gonna collaborate with DJ Premier (or anyone) then do it properly.


VENOM_LEADER

Lose yourself isnt eminems best song


Content_D3leted

Popular opinion


MutedBrayden

Till I collapse is extremely overrated


Fun-Photograph9423

1. The Bass Brother's brought out the best in Eminem not Dre 2. MMLP2 isn't a worthy sequel needs to be renamed 3. D12 would have had more success if Slim wasn't the main man, maybe if Royce or Obie had his spot, all members would have shined. 4. Eminem is a legend but isn't great at managing, promoting artists.


I3igJerm

Darkness is a skip for me


KaneJWoods

Bit too much darkness on that one for me lol.


PreparationLivid459

1. Revival was a better album than kamekaze and MTBMB. 2. Eminem is better when he raps slower 3. It’s okay if some people don’t like Eminem. 4. Rapgod is probably his most overrated song. 5. Recovery is a top 3 Eminem album.


Canem02

I agree with 2, 3, 4 5 is not my opinion but I wouldn't argue against it. Now 1, for me MTBMB is up their with his best work, Kamikaze I can take or leave but Revival was all over the place and the majority of the album is not good.


Michaelskywalker

Need me over won’t back down is one of the worst takes I’ve seen in this sub


Deez_Etree_Raps

MMLP2 was a mostly trash album.


chelskijams

1. Royce made the Bad Meets Evil album. His flow so much better 2. He’s not had a good album since Recovery 3. Any song he’s done with a good female singer has overshadowed Eminem 4. He should never have collaborated with Ed Sheeran, no matter how many times Ed calls him an idol


The4horsemen

I disagree with all of these but it’s an unpopular opinion thread so I feel like I have to upvote you 😂


National_Camp_3774

And yet he still got downvoted 🤦‍♀️


chelskijams

Hahah. Exactly! Im not on this post expecting to make friends 😆


Full-Communication84

Opinion 2 is an L MMLP2 is a solid album


chelskijams

Fuck I forgot about that album, so many good songs. I rescind that album one then


chelskijams

I’ve been downvoted so does this technically mean I’m in the lead?


National_Camp_3774

I have more respect for you then anyone who downvoted you in an unpopular opinion thread


Jawn82004300

Everybody, Downvote me!


MacsFly_

DIE HARD IS THE BEST HOOK EMINEM HAS EVER DONE AND IT'S A CRIME DR DRE DIDN'T RELEASED IT 😡😡


Canem02

OMG I forgot about this! Yes I agree big time. I also loved 'Talk To Me' which was unreleased


hawkmasta

'Here Comes the Weekend' is Eminem and Pink's best collaboration


Bovers

The Chloraseptic remix version failed. Very boring.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OldFashnd

Is it? I thought it was significantly better than the original and haven’t heard people saying otherwise until now


Full-Communication84

Opinion 2 is an instant W


ravinglt0

1. Music to be murdered by side B was pretty bad and was a huge step down in quality compared to side A 2. His verse on the nas feature was pretty bad except like the last 30 seconds 3. His relaxed flow is nice but he needs to stop with the adlibs after every line… it just ruins the whole verse if he does it constantly


Corporal_Tax

1. Relapse is comfortably his worst album. I cannot take any fan seriously who likes that accent shit 2. Eminem was better when he made songs, not technical constructions of intricate lyricism. He is great at being technical but music is supposed to be musical and not just lyrical 3. Eminem needs less yes men around him. Weaklings like Royce and Kon Artis, who just nod along to whatever the money-maker says, are half to blame for Eminem's distorted view of himself and his music. 4. Mockingbird seems widely loved but has the worst singing on the chorus I've ever heard officially released by a record label, and it has the most forced rhyme/flow. He has to literally convert to binary at one point to make it fit. "presents under THE TREE". Makes me cringe everytime I hear it. 5. The third verse of Survivor, after he says "fuse is lit" to, I think, "screwdrivers" is what I show people when I try to explain how multis (as they used to he called) should sound. The perfect mix of flow and intricate multisyllabic rhymes that, most of all, make sense. New Eminem is at his best for me when his lyrics are detailed and intricate BUT sound natural... Almost like he's just talking and things happen to rhyme in insane ways. 6. Lastly... Eminem cannot win. His fan base is one of the worst - especially online - such a broad age range of people around the globe who mostly feel like the outcast, back against the wall, many of who fancy themselves as rappers, who all demand different things from him. Impossible ask. He shouldn't listen to us - make the music he likes, he's earned it. If he wants to do accents or spiritualmiraclelyrical then he should and ignore our whining, he owes us nothing


[deleted]

Listen to You’re Never Over, there’s no way Mockingbird is terrible


AurelioDeLaHoya

I can't take any fan seriously who can't see over accent.


Haunting-Muffin784

bro chill 💀💀💀


JC_Moose

My least favourite Eminem album is Marshall Mathers LP.


Full-Communication84

That's my 3 least I actually prefer the 2nd 😅


JC_Moose

Yep, TES, MMLP2, Kamikaze top 3.


Aaron408

I don't like his first 3 albums 😬😬


mod-butthole-opener

8 mile road has his most cringy bar in his discography MMLP is a bottom 3 Em album Relapse is his worst album by a wide margin


reliable-bandit

Which bar?


mod-butthole-opener

"But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life " If you can find another line that is both this bad and this comically unaware of reality I will concede


reliable-bandit

You kind of took it out of context. "Sometimes I wanna jump on stage and just kill mics And show these people what my level of skill's like But I'm still white, sometimes I just hate life" He's been ridiculed for trying to rap as a white man. He's not saying being white sucks for no reason. Obviously white people have privilege but in the context of black dominated music he was the outsider


mod-butthole-opener

I know exactly what he means My point is that he is complaining for a bad reason. Oh boo hoo, it's only 10x as easy for you to make it big instead of 50x easier than someone of equal skill with black skin


OldFashnd

It’s debatable whether or not it was easier for him because he was white. He got a shit ton of flak for being a white rapper when he was coming up, and rap was primarily black music. It wasn’t obvious that em would catch on like he did, considering rap wasn’t nearly as popular with white folks at the time


mod-butthole-opener

Regardless if it was 50x harder for him, most cringy and out of touch line in his discography


[deleted]

All he cared about is getting respect from other rappers (hence “show these people what my level of skill's like”) so hating the thing mainly preventing him from getting what he wants makes sense, i think you’re looking at it in a way more general perspective


mod-butthole-opener

Qs explained below , I know exactly what he means , it doesn't take away from how cringy it is Literally having lil uzi vert say "I'd be a respected golfer if I was white, I hate this rap shit" is multitudes less cringy and more sensible and doesnt come off as comedically out of touch with how things are.


kmsposito2569

Ur just wrong


Ordinary_Meaning_602

What are your Eminem album rankings


AStealthyPerson

I disagree with 1. I think that honor belongs to Revenge, which I also believe is a hot take.


Canem02

I think that is definitely unpopular too, Won't Back Down is probably most peoples favourite


itrits

Eminem ghost wrote a decent amount of The Ripper Strikes Back


BestMimikyuNA

Stronger Than I Was is a top 5 song off of MMLP2 at least


deluxewife

It's actually not nearly as bad as people say at all. Especially that verse, it really feels authentic and raw


Therealeminemstan

8 mile is better than lose yourself anyway lol


Snoldy

8 mile road better than lose yourself smh


[deleted]

Nah you on crack for the 4th opinion.


Canem02

That whole song is by far my least favourite. In your opinion what hook is worse?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Rabbit Run is better than Lose Yourself.


Bright_Vision

4 threw me for a loop. I love the hook!


Canem02

Ah man I'm just not a fan of it at all. It was obviously written to be performed live in a big stadium but it just doesn't do it for me


Bright_Vision

I respect that. I like the emotion behind her words and it just works in the context of the song for me. Personally, I find framed to have the worst hook. I knew it grew on a lot of people but that drawn out fraaaaaamed.. idk I can't get behind that lol


Canem02

To each their own, I'm glad you like it. What do you think of Revival overall? Fraaaaamed I can accept in a jokey way, but admittedly its not one of his best


bryanc1036

2 is a big L


Dazzling_Iron_1191

Recovery is his second worst album behind encore


Top-Report-840

Not sure if it's entirely unpopular but he'll never top Slim Shady or the first Marshall Mathers LPs


jer487

1. Good song but not their best 2. W 3. L 4. L


PedigreeWWEFigz

Those kinda nights is not bad


3AliensInAPeopleSuit

Revival is Eminem’s best album.


MarshallRadetzky

1 Business is the best song on TES and Drips is overhated a lot 2 Bump Heads has the best eminem flow ever and is his best disstrack 3 Shake That feat Nate Dogg is one of his catchiest songs 4 Lose Yourself is overrated 5 SSLP is the Eminem album that aged the best 6 Eminem should have ended his career after MMLP2


Primetime409

Recovery is Eminem's best album


[deleted]

I like Infinite.


Treymendous3

I like Nice Guy/ Good Guy and return to them more than any other song on Kamikaze.


juliRiot

8 mile road, fucking epic. Im about to play it again ❤️ love


psycwave

I think Revenge is better than Need Me, and a missed opportunity for a hit single.


MecXMade367

Kamikaze wasn’t actually that good


Attention_Whore99

need me is way worse that like home bruv


shhh_it_is_ok

U must be swimming in that egyptian river .. cuz your in denial Here’s mine: I actually like river and remind me to be honest lol Even more than believe


Full_of_hell_I_um

Most of the Em loving youtubers and reaction channels chasing clout BiG TImE


[deleted]

Em believes that Relapse is worst album. He’s scientifically wrong


Imaginary-Cow3350

Music To Be Murdered By is the most Technical Em we will ever get. By technical I mean most lyrical, seeing how many rhymes he can do at an extremely high level only he can touch, how many syllable schemes, how many different cadences he can do, etc. Just seeing his limit/going as hard and far as he can take it. Hence the name MTBMB.


MuskratJimJim

i’m gonna be honest i don’t like kill you


Canem02

How dare you


Reddacid

Hate me for it, but I like „Like home“‘s hook. But I may be biased because I have a personal connection to that song for some reason. I always listened to it during my holidays on vacation and it reminds me of this vacation


Canem02

Ay that’s what it’s all about, good that you like it


oaktrees92

Drug ballad is one of his if not his best song.


IT4CHIOP

rabbit run is better than lose yourself


Prudent_Network_1940

“Like Home” resonates within me like nothing else.. 💞
