Renegade & Rock Bottom

[Innovation]

What would you say is the best?

I don't think he has a particular verse which is better than the rest. He has a bunch which are all incredible.

Do any other rappers come close and what you say his best verses are?

Sing For The Moment is also incredible.

The thing that amazes me about songs like this, Rock Bottom, Lose Yourself etc is his ability to rhyme like crazy but not once does he sacrifice his content for his rhymes. I mean songs like Stay Wide Awake and Things Get Worse etc are out of this world but he can say literally anything he wants to fit a rhyme.

In Sing For The Moment he approaches a very serious topic and stays on point the entire song but manages to pull off 5 syllable multies without sacrificing a thing. He is able to rhyme like this, but phrase it in a way that is so to the point that you couldn't phrase it any better without rhyming. That, to me, is what makes Eminem so incredible.

100% agree. That's one of the maaany reasons his first three albums (particularly The Eminem Show) are on such a pedestal in my mind. There's an absurd amount of rhyming, but he's able to present what he's saying in such a vivid, conversational style and can still convey emotion so effectively.

Relapse had the rhyming chops but I always feel more like an outsider observing and appreciating a piece of art when I listen to it. The language he uses in The Eminem Show, etc. really draws you inside the music and gives you that feeling of having a deeper connection to the music.
