nail in the coffin is his best diss track of all time. Also Eminem killed jay on renegade, Nas was right.
Everyone agrees Em killed Jay on Renegade. Renegade is a litmus test for the highest tiers of Jay stannery if someone actually claims Jay did better than Em.

Holy shit this is nuts, is this all freestyle?

Edit : yea never mind I get it, this is awesome I really like Royce's verse too.
They all wrote their verses beforehand and showed up. Just like every other freestyle nowadays. There's a behind the scenes video on the interwebs somewhere where they rehearse and have multiple takes at the video.

How the hell did I forget this one?? I just remembered and added:

The Game - We Ain't (ft Eminem) - skip to 1:50

The multis are insane in this one! He somehow rhymes "Only Dre can" and "mistakes I'm making" through the entire verse.

Only Dre can, judge me for the mistakes I'm making
If I'm faking, I'm Clay Aiken
You ain't 50 and you ain't Game, you lame, you're tame
Your mind's lost, you are not ready to make that flame switch
You will end up in the same situation, same shit
Different day, just with different gangstas in your face
Which- way do you wanna face when your brains hit pavement
Think of what you'll say to Pastor Mase and save it
For the day that they got them affidavits waiving in my face
Looking for answers, rap sensation Eminem battles to ward off accusations
That he had somebody blasted
The Mask of Jason was found at the scene of the task with masking tape
And the victim's penis up his ass, a basket case
And they ask him to clean up his act, you bastards wasting too much time
Me no kiss ass, and if that's the case, then we ain't going

Even though that's nowhere near Em's best verse, I love how he changes his tone after:
"pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend". For once, his angry voice actually made sense.

Man, was just listening to this and it's so true, you can feel the anger and the whole tone of the verse changes like a switch right at that line.

Is there any other rapper that does that kind of thing? Em is amazing.

Added My Life

6) 50 Cent - My Life (ft Eminem, Adam Levine) - skip to 1:24

While you were sipping your own Kool-Aid getting your buzz heavy
I was in the fucking sheds sharpening my machete
Sipping on some of that revenge juice, getting my taste buds ready
To whoop down this spaghetti, or should I say this spaghett-even?
I think you fucking meatballs keep on just forgetting
Thought he was finished, motherfucker, it's only the beginning
He's bugging again, he's straight thugging, fuck who he's offending
He'll rip your vocal chords out and have them bitches plugged in me
Motherfucking wall with 3000 volts of electricity
Now take the other and dump them then pluck him, motherfuckers in each
One of your eyesockets cause I thought you might finally fucking see
That'll teach you to go voicing your cocksucking opinion to me
I done put my blood, my sweat and my tears in this shit
Fuck letting up, you’re gonna end up regretting you ever betted against me
Feels like I'mma snap any minute, yeah
It's happening again, I'm thinking about the same
Mother fuck everybody that's up in this bitch, but 50
Cause this is all I know, this is why so hard I go
I swear to God I put my heart and soul into this more than anybody knows
I'm trapped, so all I do is rap, but everytime I rap I'm more trapped
And I rap myself right into this bubble, oh I guess it's bubble wrap
This is like a vicious cycle, my life's in a crisis
Christ, how was I supposed to know shit would turn up like it did?
Feels like I'm going psycho again and I might just blow my lid
Shit, I almost wish that I would have never made Recovery, kid
Cause I'm running in circles with
 
I would always lose my shit when they would play that song he did with Rihanna (I think) and he had a line about watching her leave out the window "I guess that's why they call it window pane/pain." And then there's like a half-second silence before her verse, and it's just like the song had to stop because he just made that ridiculous pun.

If you ask me, I ain't gonna be happy till I see every member of the Backstreet Boys gettin their ass beat in the back seat of a taxi...and get dropped off on the real back street, and somebody black sees 5 little rich white boys lookin like faggots with the N word painted on the back of their jackets.

(Freestyle on the radio in Detroit)
 

MIMIC

Banned
I sit back with this pack of zig-zags
And this bag of this weed it gives me
The shit needed to be the most meanest emcee
On this earth and since birth I've been cursed
With this curse to just curse and just blurt this berserk
And bizarre shit that works and it sells
And it helps in itself to relieve all this tension
Dispensin these sentences
Gettin this stress that's been eatin me recently
Offa this chest and I rest again peacefully

Love eminem, never gets old

Fucking love this verse.

Nas to Jay Z - ”Eminem murdered you on your own shit", yeah, that one.

Love his verses in Renegade, the delivery and flow is soo good.

I really really like Eminem, but he isn't even remotely close to Shakespeare, or any other classic poets. Shakespeare is completely unparalleled in the English language by a very large margin.

"Soldier" is his best song. He's so damn angry in it.

I love pissin' you off, it get's me off,
like my lawyer's, when the fuckin' judge let's me off,
all you motherfuckers gotta do is set me off,
i'll violate and all the motherfuckin' bet's be off,
i'm a lit fuse, anything I do bitche, it's news,
pistol whippin' motherfuckin' bouncers, six-two,
who needs bullets, soon as I pull it, you sweat bullets,
an excellent method to get rid of the next bully,
it's actually better cause instead you murderin',
you can hurt em' and come back again and kick dirt at 'em,
it's like pourin' salt in the wounds, assault and get sued,
you can smell the lawsuits soon as I waltz in the room,
everybody halts and stops, calls the cops,
all you see is bitches comin' out their halter tops,
runnin' and duckin' out the Hard Rocks parking lot,
you'll all get shot whether its your fault or not, cause...
 
"Forgot About Dre". He even wrote Dre's verses in the song, which is why Dre sounds like a really good rapper.

And then "The Way I Am". Dat anapestic tetrameter.
 
I know it's not his best. It's probably not his funniest either. but for whatever reason, whenever I think of Eminem, this is what I hear in my head:

"When I was just a little baby boy, my mama used to tell me these crazy things..."

Pretty much the entirety of "Kill You" just epitomizes Eminem, to me. Although his verse on Forgot About Dre (or rather, the one he actually rapped, he wrote the whole song) is really damned memorable, too.
