Eminem - If I Had and Rock Bottom appreciation thread

[The War Report]

One of the realest Eminem songs.

 

[Juanito]

Another one

 

[DaveyDave]

i remember copping SSLP before cats really heard My Name Is around this way. read about him in XXL and they were gassin him up so when i saw the cd i got it straight away without even hearing a bar (shyt you just had to do that sometimes back in the day). most of the people i knew didn't really catch on until 2001 & MMLP

I knew em was here to stay when my name is came out....i was 11

Shady was so nice with it, SSLP and MMLP were damn nice. Not classics by any means but 4/5 in my opinion. Shady was rippin it on those CD's. Eminem Show is nice too but I prefer MMLP out of all his albums. Rock Bottom though..

those are classics imo sslp and mmlp

eminem's ability to put syllables together is ridiculous. from his rhyme schemes knowing what rhymes and what don't his more then one syllable rhymes etc.

 

[Gastly]

Those are both horrible, emotional songs that I listened to once when my high school girl broke up with me and then never again....one of the many reasons I strongly dislike Eminem. These songs, however, are his actual top 3:

 

[The_Third_Man]

My life is full of empty promises and broken dreams
I'm hopin' things look up; but there ain't no job openings
I feel discouraged, hungry and malnourished
Livin' in this house with no furnace, unfurnished
And I'm sick of workin' 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 all goin' the same way
Cause it's cool to be player, but it sucks to be the fan
When all you need is bucks to be the man, plus a luxury sedan
I'm comfortable and roomy in a 6
But they threw me in the mix with all these gloomy lunatics
Who walk around depressed and smoke a pound of cess 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 a life and throw the rest away

eminem got some of the sickest rhyme schemes ever

 

[North]

2 great tracks

 

[MidnightMercenary]

Both amazing songs

Don't listen to Em that much but I know a good song when I hear one

 

[Cheech&Chong]

His 2 best songs off his best CD

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

Probably my favorite EM song. EVERYONE can feel shyt like this.

"I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer"
