Eminem has been making music for nearly two decades. Among his collection of radio hits, the songs “Love The Way You Lie” and “Not Afraid” made him the first artist to be twice-certified digital diamond.
Rolling Stone lists tracks that the casual Eminem listener probably doesn’t know in its “20 Insanely Great Tracks Only Hardcore Fans Know.”
Eminem released his first album, Infinite, in 1996. The project was not released commercially, but the title track is listed by the magazine as a standout cut from the Detroit rapper’s catalogue.
“Virtually no one heard it at the time – it reportedly sold about a thousand copies,” the publication says. “But his one-in-a-million lyrical skills were already there, as heard on the acrobatic title track: ‘Yo, my pen and paper cause a chain reaction/To get your brain relaxin’/The zany-actin’ maniac in action…'”
Rolling Stone also selects “Any Man” as one of the tracks.
“This fiendish tune, recorded for underground mainstay Rawkus Records’ Soundbombing II compilation, features some of Em’s most provocative rhymes ever (‘I hope God forgives me for my sins/It probably all depends on if I keep killing my girlfriends’),” the article says. “Depending on how you feel about over-the-top fictional violence, it’s either wickedly clever or incredibly offensive.”
The list also includes “Scary Movies,” a song that Eminem did with Royce Da 5’9″ as part of their Bad Meets Evil duo.
“Thanks to ‘Nuttin’ To Do”s release just as Eminem’s stock was soaring with The Slim Shady LP, the Bad Meets Evil 12-inch was popular enough to breach the Billboard Rap charts,” Rolling Stone writes. “However, the B-side was the real winner. Eminem delivers an absolute blackout verse as ‘The one man that will drive off of the Grand Canyon/And hop out of a Grand Am and land in a hand-standing.'”

Wow. I can’t believe that shit I’m reading on here. Somebody said he’s washed up. Another said he use to be good. Someone said he had a well flow! And some racist fuck, I bet they racist, said some shit like if he was black he’d just be above average! You dumb fucks gotta b retarded! You obviously don’t listen to Eminem or you just couldn’t say that shit. He can freestyle some shit better than some shit your favorite rappers wrote. I promise you. For what ever reason you’re doing it, you’re obviously just haters. Shit talkers. Trolls. You’re probably to slow to realize how complex most of his rhymes are. You dumb fucks probably only like hearing that Mumble rap cuz you’re so simple minded all you can follow is hooks and bass. Damn near every rapper in the game respects him and you mother fucks that probably wouldn’t know what a punch line is even if it hit you, probably don’t even know what a simile or metaphor is and can’t even realize the rhyming word syllables. TF. If it’s not your sound. Ok. But ta say the shit y’all said, man go kill yourself. You don’t know shit bout hip hop. So pretty much your opinion does not count. Get your dumb ass’s an education cuz you just said some retarded shit.
