marshall mathers most unforgettable
rhymes in a supporting role 10 don’t
approach me for this declarative track
and first sets up X with a telling hook
[Music]
after Xzibit slays verse 1 Mathers jumps
in with some razor-sharp words about a
celebrity status and media attention but
M doesn’t finish there as he returns for
a final verse about the consequences of
confronting fans with the second rhyme
Eminem is more explanatory than boastful
he addresses why he needs to be cautious
with overbearing fans and also what
happens if he lets people get too close
it’s slightly comedic but also focused
on his real-life issues number 9 dead
wrong
release that four biggies untimely death
this guest spot helped ignite Eminem’s
career lyrically he initially takes a
surrealistic approach painting a hellish
landscape of devil-worship but he then
offers some clarity by communicating his
reality and what it takes to survive for
this one M unloads with an aggressive
flow and finishes off with some
descriptive rhymes about red themed
visuals it’s a killer verse and it has
the lyrical bravado of someone that’s
trying to make a name for himself in the
rap game
number eight airplanes part two and this
grammy-nominated track mm actually sings
before he rhymes after vo B’s reflective
two verses and get some stal jaquail
examining his own past in contrast to
hayley williams dreamy chorus Mathers is
a little more blunt a little more urgent
with his vocals wasn’t time to move in
school J’son again
he wasn’t socially awkward industries as
a kid he had a father and his mother
wasn’t crazy is she with this tone he
captures what it takes to feel young and
helpless both for himself and for
listeners too it’s all steeped in
pretending and wishing for something you
can’t quite grasp by the end
Eminem effectively closes off the track
with his unique storytelling abilities
[Music]
number seven I need a doctor
with this guest spot em shows some tough
love for his iconic mentor in verse one
Mathers looks inward and explores his
own self-doubt
I don’t even know if I believe it woman
saying he follows that up with another
train of thought ride only this time
he’s speaking directly to dr. Dre
offering a heartfelt message of hope and
loyalty over all I need a doctor
represents a wake-up call for both
artists with skylar grey soft hook
hypnotically complementing the two
emcees
[Music]
for this Eminem guest first he pays
homage to a legend who just so happens
to be the man that changed his life
number six best friend co-produced by
Eminem the spiritual song concludes with
a memorable and extensive rhyme
[Music]
technically it’s a one verse spot but
the depth in length showcases Mathers
lyrical wizardry with a staccato flow M
takes an unorthodox approach and his
tone becomes more assertive from line to
line he’s gone but the arm in a call me
when his drama Gandhi coulda Gandhi of
the way my sounds gonna turn dolly with
the llama palace watchman
on a personal level Eminem owns up to
his faults and reminds that he’s no
angel but on the professional side and
reminds that he’s one of the legends an
emcee that thrives on his inner strength
and ability to handle the pressure even
when life gets most difficult begins
these tears and he’ll be waiting at the
gate when you get sprayed up sitting you
host ready to do with my business
[Music]
number five smack that for this
international hit M constructs his verse
specifically for the club crowd with
Akon setting the mood for smack that end
builds on the sexual concept with some
lyrical foreplay and crisp rhymes he
brings his usual sense of humor
all the while shouting out the featured
artists himself it’s a sharp guest spot
with M showing off his wordplay skills
[Music]
[Music]
at the time of release Akon was still an
emerging artist and the M&M
collaboration provided some extra
Commercial Appeal as smack that went on
to earn triple platinum certification
and spent five weeks at the number two
spot on the Billboard Hot 100
[Music]
[Music]
job number four forever here’s the posse
cut that concludes with a bang last name
first name greatest like a sprained
ankle playing after Drake Kanye West and
Lil Wayne drop their own versus em shuts
it down with some lyrical fire they go
in stadiums as shady sixes blow nuts
they go macadamia nuts over the stick
walk on forever
Eminem immediately references his own
flow which sets the tone for a brilliant
verse that references macadamia nuts
Pinocchio and even Hannibal Lecter
forever was recorded for the 2008
documentary more than a game and M’s
creative verse sets himself apart from
the competition along with his
hard-hitting delivery most importantly
it reminds that he’s an elite MC that
can hang with anybody
[Music]
number three renegade
the one and only nas famously noted that
Eminem murdered jay-z on his own track
well that’s up for debate it’s
undeniable that Mathers constructs two
immaculate verses about his public
persona with the first he takes aim at
critics who misrepresent his intentions
communicating that he’s no role model
but rather a lyrical artist next he
follows up jay-z again with a more
spiritual verse that addresses
hypocritical behavior at least in 2001
renegades showed that Eminem could not
only hold his own alongside JC but that
he’s got the same lyrical depth as well
[Music]
[Applause]
you know my favorite white boy right
number two patiently waiting in 2003 50
cent made as much anticipated debut with
get rich or die trying’
although patiently waiting wasn’t
released as a single it does feature
eminem at his best
[Music]
first Mathers appears on the bridge
complimenting 50s opening verse for his
one and only rhyme and pays homage to
hip-hop legends even adopting a staccato
flow like the late tupac shakur it’s a
timely guest spot one that acknowledges
his future in the rap game along with
the events of 9/11 he pays respect to
50-cent skills but it’s eminem that
ultimately steals the show
[Music]
