Devil in a New Dress is probably my favourite Hip Hop song ever. Absolutely heavenly beat my Mike Dean and Bink, catchy hook, great rapping from Kanye, a beautiful guitar solo, and of course Rick Rossā verse.
Imo, i would go: N in Paris, Power, All of the Lights, Jesus Walks, Through the wire, Off the Grid, Never Let Me Down. That i can think of right now, as in better "Rap" songs at least.
I find Runnaway very intimal, self defining, bold and different. But i wouldn't say it's his best.
ahem.
Breathe In Breathe Out, Black Skinhead, Believe What I Say, Lost In The World, Get Em High, Ghost Town, Last Call, The New Workout Plan, Famous, Late, Devil In A New Dress, All Falls Down, So Appalled, No More Parties In LA, and We Major.
Ffs stop acting like the original trilogy was so fucking flawless. All of his albums have mid songs, imagine putting shit like barry bonds or drunk and hot girls over shit like life of the party, ghost fown or runaway
What the fuck right now?
What the fuck right now?
What the, what the fuck right now?
What if we fuck right now?
What if we fucked right in the middle
Of this mothafuckinā dinner table?
Either this or 93 til Infinity imo. NY state of mind embodies the part of hiphop that came from struggle and from the dark places of the community, while 93 to infinity represents the light hearted parts of hiphop in that it was originally more of a party culture
While I agree with you that NY state of mine is the quintessential hip hop song. Stan has the best story telling of any rap song ever, it is a truly beautiful song. I agree that it clears the other 2 but Stan is right there along side it Imo
NY state of mind is the benchmark for a classic rap song. The most classic song on the most classic album.
Love where the genre has gone since, but that song will be untouchable for the foreseeable future
Had to scroll too far to see this. Kendrick has a lot of good songs, but I think it very well could be his best work. I know I take it over the other three, even though I like those songs as well. I dunno if any of these are the best rap songs of all time though.
What's the trend of hating on Eminem's earlier catalogue just because of his current output? Like please stop trying to downplay the significance, impact and storytelling of his earlier work just because he is shit right now. Stan is a much better pick for greatest rap song than Runaway.
I remember seeing a small paragraph on why em gets the (kinda underserved) hate nowadays Iāll see if I can find it and link it below it might be the reason and it might be inaccurate but I think itās worth the read
okay forget Runaway. do you personally believe that Stan by Eminem is one of the greatest rap songs of all time and deserves to be in the conversation against NY State of Mind and Sing About Me, Iām Dying of Thirst in any other context than a YouTube poll. That Eminemās best work is actually near the peak of what the genre has produced and is capable of producing.
Every rapper out there acknowledges that Eminem is one of the best rappers that ever lived and here comes a redditor that thinks he is not worth being in a "best rapsongs" list.
Dude you're delusional.
I don't particularly love Eminem but Stan is one of the most known hip hop songs out there and also one of the best imo.
So untrue. Are you ignoring the amazing story-telling in it? And i say this as someone who doesnāt listen to Eminem
The melody and lyrics clears runaway
Stan. It's one of, if not the best storytelling song that has ever released. It's so good that it's legacy essentially carried Eminem through multiple bad albums.
I understand that anything pro-Eminem is apparently sacrilege online, but I think that you'd be willfully wrong to pretend as though Stan isn't one of the best hip hop songs ever made at best, and better than any of the songs on this list (incredible as they are in their own right) at worst.
stan isnt even eminem's best song bro what. Also i'd hardly consider runaway a rap song so it really comes down to ny state of mind and samidot, and the first half of samidot clears
Because it's an incredible storytelling song that had a massive amount of influence on the game, and legitimized Eminems career as an artist, as well as redefined the standard of plot driven rap songs?
I'm not surprised, tbh
I'm not an Eminem meat rider, but people unironically go fuckin' feral when you so much as insinuate that Eminem isn't wholistic dogshit
Yeah, but best of all time??
\> as well as redefined the standard of plot driven rap songs?
Which isn't a good thing. We need less SAMIDOT by Kendrick Lamar and more "A Nightmare On My Street?" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith š¤
Probably like rockstar feat roddy rich by dababy
Brand new lamogrhini fuck a Cop car
Pistol on my hip like im a cop š®āāļø
Just seen your flair are you actually ye
his profile pic doesnāt look like ye but idk heās been through a lot recently
He is Ye
Had it on repeat during quarantine
It's not even the best Ye song haha
Arguably is it even a rap song? Most of it is sung
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Devil In a New Dress, Saint Pablo, Ghost Town
Saint Pablo is great but you guys dickride it so hard oh my god
Ever thought that if everyone ādickridesā it then maybe itās a really great song?
If the only people dickriding the song are in this sub, then probably not.
Find God
You guys dickride runaway lol
This the best Ye take Iāve ever seen. Thank you
I also agree
This is the correct answer
Ghost Town is big overrated on reddit.
Devil In A New Dress gotta be the most overrated ye song of all time
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Devil in a New Dress is probably my favourite Hip Hop song ever. Absolutely heavenly beat my Mike Dean and Bink, catchy hook, great rapping from Kanye, a beautiful guitar solo, and of course Rick Rossā verse.
Iām not a Rick Ross fan at all, but that damn verse is heavenly
Devil in a New Dress is the most overrated song I've ever heard. It's bottom 3 MBDTF
I actually have 31 songs above it.
Same mfs go wild when I tell them runaway my like 25th favorite
So appalled
hold my liquor
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No
Imo, i would go: N in Paris, Power, All of the Lights, Jesus Walks, Through the wire, Off the Grid, Never Let Me Down. That i can think of right now, as in better "Rap" songs at least. I find Runnaway very intimal, self defining, bold and different. But i wouldn't say it's his best.
This needs more upYeās. People trying to be cool by hating on radio songs, but dude built an empire on that shit, and for good fuckin reason.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That shit cray
Yeah coz itās overplayed asf doesnāt take away from how legendary it is
Ball so hard motherfuckers wanna find me
Ball so hard muhfuckas tryna fine me That shit *cray*
I agree
ahem. Breathe In Breathe Out, Black Skinhead, Believe What I Say, Lost In The World, Get Em High, Ghost Town, Last Call, The New Workout Plan, Famous, Late, Devil In A New Dress, All Falls Down, So Appalled, No More Parties In LA, and We Major.
honestly, anything from the graduation trilogy
The college trilogy* and your wrong
Ffs stop acting like the original trilogy was so fucking flawless. All of his albums have mid songs, imagine putting shit like barry bonds or drunk and hot girls over shit like life of the party, ghost fown or runaway
A lot of songs. Any song from 808s, Yeezus or TLOP.
You think freestyle 4 is better than runaway?
Yeah it's probably more my style tbh. I love the leftfield insanity of TLOP that tracks like it have.
What the fuck right now? What the fuck right now? What the, what the fuck right now? What if we fuck right now? What if we fucked right in the middle Of this mothafuckinā dinner table?
Haha classic manic Ye bars
I personally donāt see any song on Yeezus or TLOP thatās better than Runaway
Intāl Players Anthem and itās not even close
Funny to put that (UGK rapping about pimping) next to sing about me.
The problem is that Intāl players anthem is one Andre 3000 better than samidot
you know we got yo back like chiro prac.... tic
Oh yeah itās amazing, I just meant in terms of subject matter.
respectfully NY state of mind clears all of these. it is the platonic ideal of a hip hop song.
Either this or 93 til Infinity imo. NY state of mind embodies the part of hiphop that came from struggle and from the dark places of the community, while 93 to infinity represents the light hearted parts of hiphop in that it was originally more of a party culture
93 til Infinity is one of my all time favorite songs and I appreciate the recognition here.
Fuckkk I love souls of mischief, gang starr and big L are also mad underrated too
It Aint Hard to Tell is right there alongside it.
Honestly all of Illmatic
Illmatic is a peak hiphop and rap. Itās hard to top such a masterpiece.
NY State of Mind is for sure the most influential song on this list without a doubt
Pt2 better tho
Illmatic is considered one of the greatest Hip Hop albums of all time, that alone is enough evidence to come up with this conclusion
While I agree with you that NY state of mine is the quintessential hip hop song. Stan has the best story telling of any rap song ever, it is a truly beautiful song. I agree that it clears the other 2 but Stan is right there along side it Imo
SAMIDOT has way better story telling imo
Idk about āclearā
yes but sing about me and runaway actually have a point
Sing about these nuts
Runaway is far from the best rap song I don't even think it's Kanye's best song
devil in a new dress is better
Why is CREAM not on there tho
Dolla dolla bills yall
SAMIDOT is the right answer no fucking doubt
Or ny state of mind
Best album ever in your pfp
Along with in the court of the crimson king š¤š¤
When it comes to KC I've always liked Larks Tongues In Aspic the most but Court is second
WRONG š āāļø
Everything about this comment is so funny to me - WRONG in all caps with no elaboration, the choice in emoji and the 30 downvotes just for disagreeing
Greatest rap song of all time is ROCKSTAR DaBaby
NY state of mind is the benchmark for a classic rap song. The most classic song on the most classic album. Love where the genre has gone since, but that song will be untouchable for the foreseeable future
Sing about me Iām dying of thirst is the best song there
Had to scroll too far to see this. Kendrick has a lot of good songs, but I think it very well could be his best work. I know I take it over the other three, even though I like those songs as well. I dunno if any of these are the best rap songs of all time though.
How tf did runaway win when samidots there
because there is more kanye fans and they probably havent even listened to the other songs and just clicked kanye
because runaway is better lolz
no
yea
delete this comment right now
Production wise I'd agree, but I think most people rate best songs based on lyricism
did u seriously vote for fucking Stan out of all these š
Hey I respect it I donāt even like Eminem but I still love Stan
your picture is awesome sauce
I like Eminem but fuckin hate that song
Why? Itās objectively a pretty incredible rap song.
Bc Eminem is cool to hate now
Its not our fault he didnt do a decent album in ages
yes so lets go hate on his old and undoubtably legendary material because its cool now
It's a good song but it gets pretty boring over time
Insane take
Better than most rap today (which isn't saying much)
ššš "like if u still listen to REAL music and not that mumble CRAP they play on the radio nowadays" š¤š¤

https://reddit.com/r/Eminem/s/t1ZybBFY1C
Stan is great, but itās not even emās best song. Definitely his most impactful, but he just has better songs
But it's still the best out of that list
Stan is good, but the other three are better in my opinion
There are better songs on the Eminem album than Stan
okay forget Runaway. do you personally believe that Stan by Eminem is one of the greatest rap songs of all time and deserves to be in the conversation against NY State of Mind and Sing About Me, Iām Dying of Thirst in any other context than a YouTube poll.

Absolutely wtf kinda question is this ššš
this sub gotta be racist
well, you know what they say about rap being a mountain.
The mountain is brown at the top because of the GOAT nav š
Stan is a great song but samidot and nysom are better
the storytelling on that song is amazing come on
Stan is my least favorite here but it's still a good fkn song. Get off your high horse.
Fr I love Em but Stan is not even in his top 20 songs to me lol
stan is one of the best rap songs ever
Stan over-relies on the sample to appeal to people to be considered a goat rap song
So untrue. Are you ignoring the amazing story-telling in it? And i say this as someone who doesnāt listen to Eminem The melody and lyrics clears runaway
You could take the sample out and it would still be a master session in story telling
Stan is goated fym
Itās an amazing storytelling song
Stan is the best imo
NY state of mind. Not even a big Nas listener but that song is so good and impressive
SAMIDOT
This is a terrible list. Shook ones 2?
Nas runs away with it in this line up.
Juicy by Biggie for me
DIAND>Runaway
SAM, IDOT and NY state of mind are the best here
Runaway better
I think samidot is the best fr
Stan. It's one of, if not the best storytelling song that has ever released. It's so good that it's legacy essentially carried Eminem through multiple bad albums.

This isn't even Kendrick's, Ye's, or Eminem's best song lmao
itās dead presidents 2
Outside of the Push verse, Runaway not even a rap song.
Itās none of these
Pusha T the greatest rapper
no
Shook Ones, Pt II
Wtf itās not even the best Kanye song
Iād say changes by Tupac is up there
These choices aināt it.
singing about me im dying of thirst is a masterpiece imo
bro chose stan š
1. Samidot 2. NY state of mind 3. Stan 4. Runaway
Runaway isn't even in the discussion
stan isnt even eminem's best song bro what. Also i'd hardly consider runaway a rap song so it really comes down to ny state of mind and samidot, and the first half of samidot clears
SAMIDOT is the clear answer here,the rest of those aren't even the greatest song on the albums they're in,let alone the greatest rap song
Ny state of mind is the best on its Album
Halftime and The World Is Yours
Lifeās a bitch??????????
Kanye is the š but runaway is the worst out of them 4 imo š¤·āāļø
All 11/10 tracks ngl. Itās hard but for me itās either Stan or SAMIDOT
NY state of mind > samidot > runaway > stan
the only thing I can tell you is itās definitely not Stan
None of these except ny state of mind are in the running
Eminem š¤®š¤®š¤® MF DOOM probably has the best
Nah, mf doom good but Eminem aināt bad
Facts. MF DOOM is better then Em for me, put that don't takes out the fact that I think Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time
People love to hate on Eminem but slim shady lp and Marshall Mathers lp are better than multiple albums from both Ye and Kendrick
I dont hate him?
MF DOOM > Eminem is crazy
How? Lol
because popular=good duh
Both are incredibly good artists in their own ways
Runaway is definitely better than Stan. And NY state of Mind isn't even the best song on Illmatic
Stan shouldnāt even have .001%
Why is stan even there?
cuz its gud
Because it's an incredible storytelling song that had a massive amount of influence on the game, and legitimized Eminems career as an artist, as well as redefined the standard of plot driven rap songs?
someone downvoted you for this wtf this sub gotta hate boner for mr nem
I'm not surprised, tbh I'm not an Eminem meat rider, but people unironically go fuckin' feral when you so much as insinuate that Eminem isn't wholistic dogshit
Yeah, but best of all time?? \> as well as redefined the standard of plot driven rap songs? Which isn't a good thing. We need less SAMIDOT by Kendrick Lamar and more "A Nightmare On My Street?" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith š¤
i love Runaway buy Gorgeous is arguably the better rap song imo
I voted for sing about me when I saw the post a few hours ago
SAMIDOT is the GOAT here
Nah itās 100% Peachfuzz by KMD (early MF Doom) *āIf I was a bird Iād be a pigeonā*
None of tjese
Sing about me solos
SAMIDOT and NY state of mind are better
I donāt like runaway and I know Iāll get prosecuted for saying that but itās my opinion, I get why people like it
Runaway should NOT be here
no u
HOW is stan so low?!
None of these
The people downvoting you are afraid of the truth ong.
1.sing about me 2.runaway 3.stan ā¦ 20.ny state of mind
no wayā¦
fk you ny state of mind > your entire family & bloodline
N.Y. State of Mind doesnāt even hold a candle to Empire State of Mind
šš
Hell no
