Is Eminem in your Top 10?

[Soldier]

The Only eminem songs with replay value from his peak/prime era(the early 2000s) were ''Lose Yourself'' and "Sing for the moment". And the latter eminem song sampled the guitar riff and chorus of "Dream On", a famous aerosmith song. Aerosmith is a legendary rock band.

The rest of his catalogue were horrorcore/ shock value type of songs that aged poorly.

Some of these dudes are just fishing for militant daps.

Is Em in the top 10. No.

But even though he has put out a lot of ok to decent albums he's top 25-30 off of impact and his 1st 3 albums are excellent.

Had he retired at Relapse his placement would be higher.

Correct on both fronts.

1. A lot of militant talk on this topic
2. Top 10? No. By any objective measure he's in a sensible top 25-30 list

Hell no, maybe if you're the type that primarily listens to mainstream commercial rap artists, for example, that billboard greatest rappers of all time list recently published but if you're someone that's listened to the Hip-Hop from top to bottom (mainstream, underground, numerous eras, etc) then no Eminem is not top 10 let alone top 20 or 30, likely not even 50.

There's just too many rappers in Hip-Hop's history dating back from the 80s, 90s, 00s, etc that are better than Eminem, some are well-known, some aren't, but again if you're someone that only listens to standard mainstream Hip-Hop (likes of these Billboard top 10 type lists) then yeah you probably think Eminem is top 5 and Lil Wayne is #3.

At the end of the day, this is all subjective and nothing is definite or definitive in terms of these Hip-Hop rankings and comes down to personal taste in music .
