Top 20 Eminem Songs You Must Know!

Have you ever wondered that what are the top 20 songs of eminem? Today will be discussing about it. Let’s get started.

Number 20: Rap God

Rapping has been a vehicle of both comedy and emotional catharsis for Mathers for over two decades, and each of these elements has cemented his legacy in hip-hop for years to come.

Then he turned 40, and some began to use phrases such as “has-been” when describing Slim Shady. Instead of lazily referring to mounds of Grammy hardware, in response to all his haters, Eminem released a six-minute statement of his unmatched prowess in this LP2 single. “How many persons I got a murder to prove that if you were half as nice, your songs you could sacrifice virgins too.” There’s no deeper meaning to Rap God, just clever rhymes fired off at record-breaking speed. “Asking me to eliminate some other women hate, but if you’re taking the consideration the bit of hate should have had them, you may be a little patient and more sympathetic to the situation, and understand the discrimination.”

Number 19: Just Lose It

Eminem has become infamous for what he’s labeled his alter ego, Slim Shady. Shady first debuted five years prior to this song, but we’ll get to that later.

He’s back again, causing mischief and mayhem with non-stop rhymes that are equal parts shocking and hilarious. For anyone who was scared Mathers had become too serious with his later work, this song puts it all out there with fart humor, Michael Jackson jokes, and more. This song reminds us of M’s silly side, but his lyricism is still on point.

Number 18: White America

Eminem is one of the most controversial artists out there, which has undoubtedly added to his legacy and success.

He’s also never been one to shy away from haters, with White America serving as one big middle finger directed at those who rebuke his work for its shocking nature. In particular, he calls out the hypocrisy of lawmakers attempting to censor him and the delicate sensitivities of suburban households. Mathers takes no prisoners and instead comes in with guns blazing to defend his work.

Number 17: When I’m Gone

While there are many shades to this American MC, he really excels when writing lyrics from the heart. “Have you ever loved someone so much you’ve given on for, not the expression, no, literally given on for?” In When I’m Gone, M expresses the pain and guilt of leaving his daughter behind while pursuing his career in music. It’s a tremendously sad song as M ruminates on his family life and how he wishes nothing more for Hailie than to continue living her life to the fullest, even when he’s gone. “You always say that you always say this is the last time, but you ain’t leaving no more, daddy, you’re mine.” The track symbolized a new chapter for the MC, who declared it to be basically the death of Slim Shady. “Yeah baby, Slim Shady’s crazy, Shady made me, but tonight, Rock-a-bye baby.”

Number 16: Godzilla (Featuring Juice WRLD)

Few rappers can boast as much influence in the hip-hop world as Eminem, so it’s only fitting he wrote a song to demonstrate his monstrous impact.

“Consider it a cross, me a costly mistake if they sleeping.” A collaboration with the late Juice WRLD, Godzilla would serve as both the young rapper’s first posthumous release and somewhat of a follow-up to Rap God when it comes to high-speed bars. A pistol on a guy with a missile launcher.” While it’s not as lyrically deep as other cuts, the rhyme schemes and sheer rapping prowess on display are classic Eminem. With Juice WRLD providing the perfect melodic chorus, Godzilla will go down as one of the highlights in M’s later catalog. “I’m normal during the day.”

Number 15: My Name Is

In 1999, the world was introduced to Eminem and also to his controversy-spawning alter ego, Slim Shady.

“My name is.” Managed to attract a 10 million dollar lawsuit from Marshall Mathers’ mother but also heaps of praise, including a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance and a number 39 spot on the Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time list. “99 cent in my life I was lied to, I just found out my mom does more than I do.” Its light-hearted melody seems fit for daytime television, but its lyrical content is far from it. No one is safe from an unremorseful roast in this four-minute spew session that only Eminem is capable of. “I’m not ready to leave, it’s too scary to die. I’ll have to be carried inside the cemetery and buried alive.”

Number 14: Mockingbird

This Grammy-nominated top 20 hit off Encore showcases Eminem’s storytelling ability at its finest. The ode to his daughter is real, honest, and personal. “Maybe one day we’ll wake up and this will all just be a dream.”

“Everything’s gonna be alright.” While recounting the hardships he’s gone through with his children’s mother while raising their kids, M proves once again he’s got a softer side. “You and mama had to leave me, then you started seeing daddy on the TV.” He also shows he knows how to turn alternative hip-hop piano balladry and a traditional lullaby into a simple yet touching work. “And if you ask me.”

Number 13: Sing for the Moment

Though The Eminem Show also gave us the infectious Without Me, it’s this rap-rock number that samples Aerosmith’s Dream On that’s got our vote.

“These guitars in the background.” Marshall Mathers takes on the media and the parents blaming his music for youth violence, and he reached the Billboard Hot 100’s top 20 in the process.

Number 12: Love the Way You Lie (Featuring Rihanna)

Although Eminem has rapped about toxic relationships in the past, many of those songs were written from a single perspective. “I can’t tell you what it really is. I can only tell you what it feels like, and right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe.” With Love the Way You Lie, both sides are brought to life in vivid color.

The track details how love can be complicated, destructive, and sometimes impossible to give up, an experience that Eminem and superstar feature Rihanna sadly know all too well. “Because I love the way.” “I love the way.” With five Grammy nominations, over 12 million copies sold in the U.S., and over 2 billion views on YouTube, this vulnerable and heartbreaking track will live on as one of Eminem’s most memorable collaborations.

Number 11: Rock Bottom

“Especially when I’m engaged and my daughter’s down to the last diaper.” The Slim Shady LP wasn’t his solo debut, but it was still his first major label release. The album spawned several notable tracks, including the Bass Brothers-produced Rock Bottom.

My life is full of empty promises and broken dreams.” Sampling a Big Brother and the Holding Company tune, the song has Eminem getting real serious about his past troubles with money. In short, it’s poignant, powerful, and thought-provoking.

Number 10: Till I Collapse (Featuring Nate Dogg)

While the fat beat and funky sound of the Slim Shady and Nate Dogg collaboration Shake That earned them a Grammy nod, we’ve chosen to highlight this Queen-inspired track instead.

Thanks to its hard-rocking beat and the two rappers’ hardcore flow, you’ve got a hard-hitting but catchy tune that you can’t help but clap your hands to. Though it’s not a single, Till I Collapse has appeared throughout pop culture on various occasions.

Number 9: Role Model

Produced by Dr. Dre and Mel-Man, this single off The Slim Shady LP has Eminem mocking multiple public figures normally seen as role models, including himself.

“What you see.” Because of its dark content, the song was censored for radio airplay but still managed to find minor chart success. Not only does Role Model illustrate Mather’s lyrical style, but it also showed how well the rapper and the doctor could work together.

Number 8: Cleaning Out My Closet

For every Eminem detractor eager to point out his controversial lyrics, there’s a handful of avid supporters who are ready to defend him and point out the unprecedented authenticity of his lyrics.

Cleaning Out My Closet focuses on another person in Mather’s life who is the subject of unapologetic scrutiny: his own mother. The chorus begs forgiveness, but the verses furiously lash out as Marshall recalls events from his life that have forced him to completely cut his mother out of his life. It’s clearly therapeutic for Eminem, and the beat is catchy for us listening. Love it or hate it, few have a lukewarm opinion about this tell-all tune. “I never meant to make you cry, but tonight.”

Number 7: Not Afraid

Eminem frequently has vicious and shocking messages that would very likely result in widespread hatred for a lesser artist.

“But it’s his vulnerability that leads fans to resonate so strongly with his work.” Not Afraid slows things down and puts the jokes on hold as Mathers opens up about addiction and his struggle with sobriety. “He’s been accused of many things, but never has there been cause to believe he’s ignorant of his own personal demons.” With two Grammy nominations and a number one spot on the Billboard Chart, all signs suggest that both the song’s powerful message and catchy sound were well received by all.

Number

6: Guilty Conscience (Featuring Dr. Dre)

While Eminem and Dr. Dre’s partnership has produced notable tracks like What’s the Difference and Forgot About Dre, it’s Guilty Conscience that’s the highlight for us.

By pitting the two rappers against each other in a battle between good and evil, we’re given an extremely entertaining and captivating single that’s one of the finest examples of M’s writing and rapping skills. “Meet Grady.”

Number 5: Without Me

Eminem has his own unique style that can never be truly replicated. Adapting the persona of a comic book hero, Slim Shady wastes no time getting off to the races in the song.

For him, this means calling out haters, cracking scandalous jokes, and not-so-subtly reminding the world who’s in charge of the rap game. The beat in and of itself is enough to entice listeners, but the unprecedented flow is what garnered enormous praise, resulting in a number two spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Without this track, Slim Shady just wouldn’t be the same. “Just follow me.”

Number 4: The Way I Am

This hardcore hip-hop track from The Marshall Mathers LP is aggressive, dramatic, and unapologetic—all qualities people usually associate with Eminem.

“You might just say it’s the way he is.” Confusing much of his real-life personality with his alter ego’s image, the song showed the rapper’s range and his ability to produce strong beats while delivering some of his best lines.

Number 3: The Real Slim Shady

Although it wasn’t his first-ever release, The Real Slim Shady served as Eminem’s arrival to the front steps of rap, MTV, and mainstream culture.

“Yeah, but he’s so cute though.” Despite the fact that it made fun of some of the very pop artists recognized by the Recording Academy, this song earned the rapper a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance. “Candy, please stand up.” But it was for good reason. The top five tunes skillfully blended comedy, hip-hop, and special effects to create something fresh and original with a funky beat. “Just like me, walk, talk, and act like me. It just might be the next best thing, but not quite.”

Number 2: Stan (Featuring Dido)

“I wrote you but you still ain’t calling. I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom.” There’s just something about Stan. Whether it’s Dido’s soulful vocals, its emotional lyrics, or Eminem’s storytelling prowess, this is one song that even non-M fans can’t help but respect.

Based on the story of a fan whose love for Eminem causes him to kill himself and his pregnant girlfriend, this track is considered one of the rapper’s most creative productions ever. “And when you dream, I hope you can’t sleep and you scream about it. I hope your conscience eats at you when you can’t breathe without me.”

Number 1: Lose Yourself

“One shot, one opportunity.” It didn’t win Eminem the first Oscar for a rap song for nothing. Thanks to its inspirational lyrics, thumping beat, and Eminem’s incomparable flow, Lose Yourself was the rapper’s most critically successful and highest-charting single to that point. “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.” Though he has since had other number one hits, it’s this theme song from Eight Mile that continues to be cited as one of hip-hop’s best.

The track became so iconic and took on such a life of its own online, it even inspired Eminem to open a chain of Italian restaurants called Mom’s Spaghetti. Thanks, Mom.
