My top 10 Eminem Features (A thread)

I used to be a massive Eminem fan and although now i prefer some other artists still heavily respect him and am appreciative for what he's done for rap (This thread doesn't include D12 or BME work). Anyway here we go:
10. That's All She Wrote

Although not boasting Em's most lyrical or impressive performance this is a personal favourite of mine as one of the first Em songs i heard, Em and TI trade verses, which again aren't too impressive but are just enjoyable.
9. Drop The World

Off of what i consider Wayne's worst album, Rebirth, this song is the only rap song off of it and features some great verses from both Wayne and Em over a really nice beat. Similar to That's all she wrote, this isn't that special, talent wise, but is enjoyable
, Not to forget the hook which i know isn't great but is super enjoyable to sing along to.
8. Medicine Man

This is one of Em's most impressive verses to me and is only second to Bad Guy as Em's best verse from the 2010s. Although the song as a whole isn't great, with a weak Dre verse, Em stands out greatly with not a bad line and has my favourite verse off of Compton.
"No signs of slowin', these lines are my 9's/ I just load up the most rhymes and open fire with a closed mind/ All I needed was someone to co-sign/ Been a Doctor's assault rifle/ With the sniper scope for this whole time". Is a personal favourite from the verse.
7. My Name

As usual, when Xzibit and Em collab, it is something to look forward to. During the ongoing beef Em had with Canibus and Dre had with Jermaine Dupri Em and X, with an incredible Nate Dogg hook. Featuring interpolations of Ether, it's prime Em with some of my
favourite Em lines such as "I square dance 'cause I'm sick of rapping circles" which really highlights classic Ems talent.
6. Airplanes, Pt. II

Off of the Grammy nominated, Adventures of Bobby Ray, this has one of the most motivational Em verses which begins with "Let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen" and honestly this song as a whole got me through some bad times.
5. What's The Difference

Starting from here, this is when they get really good. A collaboration between Dr. Dre, Xzibit and Em there's no way it could go wrong. With an iconic beat and catchy hook this song is incredible. The back and forth between Em and Dre is amazing and i
just love the song. Classic Em.
4. Patiently waiting

Featuring some of my favourite 50 verses and a Classic Em verse, off of my favourite debut album oat, this song is near perfect to me. One of Em's smoothest verses this song is definitely special.
"Take some Big and some Pac and you mix 'em up in a pot/ Sprinkle a little Big L on top, what the fuck do you got?/ You got the realest and illest killers tied up in a knot" This verse is just amazing.
3. Forgot About Dre

An iconic Em verse and beat with a great hook, Em out-dos himself with two great verses from Dre, written by Em too, to reinforce the goat status of the song. What more can i say, this song is classic, there's too many great lyrics too put down.
2. Renegade

Everyone knows this song, where Em got Jay on his own track, off of the classic Blueprint. While i think it's closer than most people think, Em still got Jay and delivers some of the best verses of his career with a perfect flow.
"Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen/ I ain't no politician, but I'll kick it with 'em a minute" is possibly the smoothest Em has ever been. Two perfect verses.
1. Don't approach me

Like i said earlier, X and Em don't miss when together, and this is no exception.

This song has my favourite X verses and my favourite Em hook, not even getting to Em's two amazing verses.
Ending with the line "It's just that when I'm not behind the mic, I'm a person who's just like you" this song embodies the message Em was portraying in 2000. Funny lines mixed with anger and passion this song deserves to be at 1 for so many reasons.
Thanks for reading, Rts are appreciated or just interacting to get it around. Like i said, i used to be a huge Em fan and he was my gateway into rap so this was something i wanted to do since joining hht, i just didn't want to be grouped in with all the other Em stans.
