Eminem's Best Songs
The man hasn't lived an easy life. His father left him when he was 18 months old, and his mother raised him on her own doing odd jobs. Growing up he was surrounded by all kinds of vices but he transferred his anger and frustrations towards life in music and started participating in freestyle rap competitions. Here he was spotted by Dr. Dre, and this led to one of the most successful partnerships in the musical industry. From here on, Eminem has never looked back and he continues to write and produce great songs. This article on his best songs is a tribute to his pure talent and it may miss out on some songs, because it is really difficult to keep a track of all the songs that the man has sung, written or produced.
