What's Eminem's most impressive display of lyricism to you

[Ziggiy]

Foolish Pride.


As it was THAT display of lyricism which finally exposed that Cac to the world and let everyone know that he was nothing more than John Wayne in a Doo Rag

Now Suzy Skrew had a partna named Sasha (Sasha), Thumper (Thumper)
I remember her number like the summer
when her and Suzy yeah they threw a slumber - - party
but you can not call it that cause it was slummer
Well it was more like spend the night
Three in the morning yawnin dancin under street lights
We chillin like a villain and a nikka feelin right
in the middle of the ghetto on the curb, but in spite
all of the bullshyt we on our back starin at the stars above
(aww man) Talkin bout what we gonna be when we grow up
I said what you wanna be, she said, "Alive" (hmm)
It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes
I coulda died, time went on, I got grown
Rhyme got strong, mind got blown, I came back home
to find lil Sasha was gone
Her mamma said she with a nikka that be treatin her wrong
I kept on singin my song and hopin at a show
that I would one day see her standin in the front row
But two weeks later she got found in the back of a school
With a needle in her arm, baby two months due, Sasha Thumper

[Tony D'Amato]

What song was it where he was talking about shooting a round thru kids on a playground? Sh1t was bananas

@SunZoo I know u know

 

[Lord Poison]

Eminem's verse on Hellbound is elite level rhyming most people will never reach

This is what I came in to post, easily my favorite verse of his. How that verse never made it onto SSLP and just ended up on a throwaway collab for some obscure compilation tape is so .

Surprised not to see anyone mention Lose Yourself, that's probably his best display of rhyming ever.

Windows tinted on my ride when I drive in it
So when I rob a bank, run out and just dive in it
So I'll be disguised in it
And if anybody identifies the guy in it
I'll hide for five minutes
Come back, shoot the eyewitness
Fire at the private eye hired to pry in my business
Die, bytches, b*stards, brats, pets
This puppy's lucky I didn't blast his ass yet [*dog whines*]
If I ever gave a fukk, I'd shave my nuts
tuck my dikk in between my legs and cluck
You motherfukking chickens ain't brave enough
to say the stuff I say, so just tape it shut [*tape unrolls*]
shyt, half the shyt I say, I just make it up
To make you mad so kiss my white naked ass
And if it's not a rapper that I make it as
I'ma be a fukking rapist in a Jason mask

people hate on em, but bro was a fcking MONSTER with the multis and wordplay. he top 5 doa PERIOD.

 

[SunZoo]

Infinite is incredible as far as just putting words together but OK was his best displaying of rhyming and saying something on that album.

Never 2 Far is my favorite joint off that album not named infinite.

Kinda prophetic too if you look at it.

Being top 5 to most people means more than just being able to rap, it comes down to your replay value and discography. Eminem is nice, but too many rappers have classic albums for him to be top 5.

I'm not sure how to define lyricism, but this shyt still amazes me.

Forget the accents and subject matter on this album, I still say this was some of the most incredible rapping I've heard

 

[pointproven214]

My life is full of empty promises
And broken dreams
I'm hoping things will look up
But there ain't no job openings
I feel discouraged, hungry and malnourished
Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay
And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day
But fukk it, if you know the rules to the game play
'Cause when we die we know we're all going the same way
It's cool to be the player, but it sucks to be the fan
When all you need is bucks to be the man
Plus a luxury sedan
Too comfortable and roomy in a six
But they threw me in the mix
With all these gloomy lunatics
Who walk around depressed
And smoke a pound of ses a day
And yesterday went by so quick it seems like it was just today
My daughter wants to throw the ball but I'm too stressed to play
Live half my life and throw the rest away

this my favorite eminem verse easily everything i bolded or underlined rhymes with something else straight sickeness this is from rock bottom.

 

[I love Latina women]

these



this was the single and he snapped on this shyt!

(sticky came through on this muthafukka though )





everybody showed their asses off on this shyt

 

[I love Latina women]

when you look at the links and songs mentioned in this thread from the early part of his career, it makes you realize just how bad he fell

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I think for me it was on Renegade, original or the one with Jay-z because I think it's essentially the same verse word for word?

To me that was the most impressive for me. What he was saying was really introspective. He was able to keep the flow and song very Hip Hop but was speaking on a weak aspect of American culture (this blaming every one but ourselves)

He had mention being a scapegoat prior to that song but the way it was structured was just very hard hitting. It was like a punch to the gut to conservative christians and censorship.

 

[razassin]

"I'm back" the delivery and cadence is a perfect marriage of production and rapping.
The content addresses his own white privilidge,
Rap lyric Scapegoating, and just over all wicked shyt.

The last bars of that second verse n the delivery was

Geez, you guys are so sensitive
"Slim it's a touchy subject, TRY and just don't mention it"
MIND with no sense in it, FRIED to get so frenetic
whose EYES get so squinted, I'm BLIND from smokin 'em
with MY windows tinted, with NINE limos rented
Doin LINES of coke in 'em, with a bunch of GUYS hoppin out
all HIGH and indo scented (inhales, exhales)
And that's where I get my name from, that's why they call me

Eminem is larger than life, top 5 doa
